Heres my alert list and most are TMA band piercing alerts when price is hammering one way but worth a look at each one and decide what to do... Don't think I've had one yet that we're after at upper band when red middle band or lower band pierced with a green middle band.. {image} I think what will be interesting is when some of the HRLY bands are being hit, then I'll be looking for price to turn the other way for sure and jump on first CCI signal in the reversal... Early days but very promising..

Thanks Harry looks like our first system trade but missed. The first signal is an HRLY upper band reversal but the middle band almost certainly wouldn't of been red at time of the signal but I might be interested in any hrly signals..

[quote=clivepackham;8364828]{quote} Hi Pipglutton I'm not actually using the TTindy here as I'm just monitoring top 8 ATR pairs and waiting for my alerts.

Hi Clive. After reading what you wrote, I was looking for a "top 8 ATR pairs" indy but couldn't find one on this thread. When you say you're not using the TTindy (top 8 pairs) but are monitoring the top 8 ATR pairs, which indy are you referring to for the top 8 ATR pairs then? Thanks.

{quote} Been doing that for years and the images go right into my trade journal. Here's a script that you can run (set up quick keys to run it quickly) every time you open and close a trade and it saves them into the folder; Your MT4 location\MQL4\Files\Chart It adds the label to the image that gives pair & TF. Also it names the saved files as such but also with ticket # and the time (server time) for the order entry. See attached example (no trade open because market is closed but you get the idea. {file} {image}

Hi Press,
I find that the a screenshot is taken for every second that the trade is open. How can I set the parameters to only take I screenshot at the open and close of the trade? Thanks for the indi!

I've seen a couple of nice hrly reversal trades today so when I saw this GBPAUD (strong daily uptrender) come down to its hrly TMA and its daily low I thougt gotta be worth a shot..

So not the trade I was talking about over the week end but these HRLY TMAs do seem to cause a reaction on the 1 minute...Guess the big boys enter on the hrly...

Yet another HRLY TMA comes into play, later if this keeps going up it will probably look like the perfect HRLY TMA touch trade but in reality we just need to be looking for the reversal in the vicinity of the HRLY TMA..

And as for my GBPAUD trade just banked half for 46.5 pips at the 5 min TMA higher band now targeting the runner for the HRLY upper band..

Banked 40 pips on GBPAUD as it looked a bit to threatening but when it turned back up jumped back on just in case this hrly signal follows through..

Then saw this flat GBPJPY so bought the 5 min Lower band,for a quick sprint across to its higher band but not expecting too much..

Well thats the morning session drawing to a close and my initial thoughts are that the HRLY TMAs presented the best opportunities today for sure. maybe a couple of the setups I'm looking for but I missed them both..

So not easy to catch the setups thats for sure..

One other thing this morning is to only trade from the extremes of the 5 min 15 min or hrly , anything in between is sort of no mans land..

Buy from the lower half sell from the top half..

Early days but plenty of promise..

This is a scipt and needs to be saved in the scripts folder, not the indi folder. You then need to drag and drop the script onto your chart when you open and close a trade or set up hot keys like CTRL K (or somehting) to hit to run the script. It is not set to run automatically. You need to trigger it.
Today's zone = Tomorrow's opportunity!
