Ok if they are loading this GBP up ready for some good news then we better join em, gonna hold this as nicely below the 50 level with my BE stop so lets see if I can get myself a few pips back here..

I think GBPJPY trades my system particularly well looking at all the nice CCI signals on it today, whilst price is above or around its 150HMA..That could be a good rule only tajke CCI signals close or above the 150hma..

Another good area is the break and retests of 25 levels, particularly on GBP pairs..look how it steps up into the next 25 level then walks around a bit then steps up to the next one and so on and so on...enter near them and stops below/above them..

Getting in a bit earlier in the move , makes it so much easier, when I'm late to a move its constantly in my head it might finish soon especially at ATR levels...

Trying to grab a quick 20 out of GBPNZD before the NYO , could be a bit dodgy but this move looks like its set for a bit to me...

Just taken 2 trades on GBPNZD both got about 15 pips up before turning back to BE , that old "Fear of Missing out " or rather "The fear of leaving something on the table" is killing my performance figures...

Need to realise that 9 times out of 10 they go about 10 to 15 pips and thats it, just bank the bloody things...

Constantly thinking theres more on the table, this is going to run 100 pips etc etc... absolutely stark raving mad..

Hello everyone, I have been keeping on eye on this thread for sometime now however I am still confused about finding the perfect ABCD trend. What I mean by this is, how do you know when an A is an A and a B is a B and not a C?

  • Jun 4, 2015 10:42am Jun 4, 2015 10:42am
Even if it's hindsight: why not taking it long/short when the color changes on the 5M (looking at the longer time frames and CCI 120also ) and just stay with it. Works!!!! Just go back and analyze......

{quote} Here you're go this is my current settings for TTindy... {image} Only thing you might want to switch around is the TF1 and TF2 settings so that the 5 min HMA is the master and charts aer opened depending on the strongest 5 min trend... Then wait for 1 min HMA to turn same way and start taking CCI signals in direction of 5 min trends.. In fact look at every CCI signal back with the 5 min trend and hold on 5 min HMA for longer runs.. I think a lot of guys feel a little more at home trading with the strongest 5 min trends and the charts don't...
Thanks man. Its much better now. Happy trading and more pips to you!

Hi Clive/All

Where can i find the latest TT Indy and also your template?

I've had a look through the links on your first post and cant find it.

Thanks.

Clive just a thought when you get your signal from your indy why not then look at pa pattern like 123 or 2bs and trade the pb to point 2 what happens is not all the orders get filled and price pulls back to grab the rest just a thought

I am strictly trading by the 120HMA/5 min red/green line with 20 pips SL and discretionary TP (looking at the 8/120 CCI). It's not working all the time but if you get a run you go for the big one. ...and I am concentrating in one pair or 2 at the most. L and NY opening are best and right now, whenever a EURO Bankster has something to say..... {quote}
Makes perfect sense and something I've been toying with lately, I'm thinking about watching 8 biggest movers GBPNZD, EURNZD, GBPAUD, EURAUD, EURJPY,EURCAD ,EURUSD and GBPJPY. Watching for the 150HMA to change direction and get on the first couple of CCI signals then bank half and hold the other halves until price crosses the HMA or it changes colour again. Then scalp the rest of the moves for 10 pips until the trend ends signified by the 150HMA changing colour.

Basically scalping as long as price stays firmly one side of the 150HMA.

Want to catch these earlier CCI signals as it gets fraught with danger the longer the move goes on...Problem with the TTindy is its still signaling a strong trend when its almost over. Like all indicators it needs to be read with confirmation from market structure and price action...

Might give that a go next week see how I get on, I'm convinced the earlier CCI signals are the key to it all...

I love it when a pair is top of the TTindy just after its turned over the 150HMA...Thats the ideal time to trade a top trender at the start of the move...

Thanks and it worked out fine as the first entry survived the retest as my stop was 10 pips back, if I'd of been at BE as normal would of been stopped out..

Just banked other half for another 11 pips as its crossed the 150HMA and looks to be going back up to me... The runner has got to stay below the 150HMA for me to hold.

Didn't get a massive runner that time but the idea worked ok with 22.6 pips but at half size so effectively 11 normal size..

Oh dear that didn't workout very well in the end, lost a net 5.3 pips due to taking another buy entry too early and losing the other one at BE...

Interestingly this happens to me a lot when I start looking up at higher timeframes because I suddenly believe I know where its going and of course I don't, but thinking that I do I then ignore the information on my 1 min chart thats telling me to get out...

I just keep holding bad positions in the belief its going my way.. because of the hrly or 15min or other such nonsense, just doesn't work for me.

I'm sure theres lots of guys that trade higher timeframes fine but I just don't... Simple as that it doesn't work for me, much better for me to just trade what I see on my 1 minute chart and if I think its going against me I get out....Take what I can from each move and be done with it...

Will continue to work on getting in earlier but not holding for bigger runs, just not me, my mindsets not there...

Just about broke even on the session which is crazy considering the entries I took and the number of pips I've been up today but hey ho what d'yer know...

Will give it a rest now until NFP has passed then look for some nice post news trades..

See you alls later...

Clive I am confused with your thoughts here, you have always said and I must say very strongly at that ( That all trends start from 1min Charts) well if that is true why are you making statements like above, My view for what its worth is that all trends start from a price and the longer they accept or indeed reject that price the stronger the trend. Guys may be looking at bigger timeframes just to see more data and from were the current trend started.
Here's a big Statement TIME IS OF NO IMPORTANCE how can you ever have a runner if you are measuring the trend in time not pips, you always have tight stops but never any idea of targets, I just cannot see how you can measure your method to check if its profitable.
Clive I really admire you for putting yourself on the line and I am your biggest fan and dearly want you to for fill your dreams but its been well over a year that I have followed you and sorry to say still your having problems in trading your own method
I expect I will be slated for this post, but all I am doing is trying to kick you up the backside and make you trade 1 way and not keep changing things every 5 min (haha that's a trend) guys feel free to have a blast at me for this post but I will not reply, they are just my own views
PS I do not trade Clive's Method but just drop by hoping he as cracked it and to wish him nothing but success
