{quote} Yes, the dashboard picks up the default settings from the fastTMALine indicator. This dashboard was just some quick programming to get a dashboard up and running in a hurry to see if it might be useful.
I think its great and will look into changing my defaults to 20 but this 56 looks alright to me as a bit slower to react but thats not a bad thing for me...

You've done an awesome job and I think its gonna be a real help in finding the right charts to trade...

Not Douplepip, but he mentioned that this dashboard use the default settings of FastTMALine.ex4 which is 56 period, it won't use the settings attached on the current chart
Here is the compiled FastTMALine with default TMAPeriod 20 TrendThreshold 0

Hello clive. Have been following the progress and felt I should present my thoughts, if I may.

I tend to prefer taking 10 to 15 pips per trade and repeat, rather than looking at larger gains. As you can see in the chart, I have drawn 2 channels and do entries per the direction (color) of center line when PA touched the bands. The arrows look excellent to help do this.

What I will do is to post charts as trades are taken for comments/suggestions.

It would be awsome if pop up alerts can be given for the arrows, and hope someone could help in that.

Missed these two colour changes and first cci signals, maybe we could have an alert on our Dashboard when all 3 are the same??? Especially when the 1 min comes into the same colour as the other two?? Maybe even when it just agrees with the 5 min as thats a good entry point...

Mind you I've got the slope change alert on so whenever I get a slope change it alerts me and a quick look at the dashboard tells me if it agrees with 5 min go and have a look...so no big deal with the dashboard having an alert.

Just thought about that and it would be good as it monitors pairs I don't have open so could alert us to setups on any chart...

Yep would be good to have that alert on dashboard when all three line up...

One problem is its entered right into the 5 min upperband so could get knocked off but if I do I'll look for the deeper pullback away from it..

Probably better to enter on opposite 5 min band if you can or at least in lower half when going up..

Just a quickie before I shoot off to work..

Have a look at these colour changes, they occur at the top of the 5 min bands so there maybe a clue there..

I'm just wandering if all we need is the slope alert then checkout where its happened in the 5 and 15 min channels as to whether we trade it or not?? Turns red at top of channel fine. Turns green at lower half of 5/15 min channel fine...

other wise be careful...

EURAUD sets up on dashboard for a long but hitting its head against the 5 min upper band, so be careful taking signals in wrong area of higher timeframe channel best to enter on the pullback from the trend eg would be better at lower band..

There will be loads that work dispite this but we're after the higher probability setups that work more often than not, these are risky entries...

Hey Clive,

I was watching gbp/usd during that same time (as your chart above with gbp/aud) because my spread is better on it. Anyway, if i look at your chart, there isn't a way that i could have known to enter that trade based on your chart. your entry arrow is well below a 25 level that price has just been drifting down from (below the "i" in "5 min channel . ."). price is still well locked into this range. would you have really taken this trade?

below is how it looked on my gbp/usd chart. looking at my chart, i don't see where i would have entered until price was outside and on top of the five min channel, because that's when it broke the range and pulled back . . . let me know your thoughts on this. i'm trying to see how these channels work. thanks! -jason

Hi jason

Great question and as ever its hard to answer with total honesty and say YES I would enter there because we never know what we will do in real time plus of course we're not even sure how these charts actually look at entry when we look back, but I will as always answer what I believe I would of done and why I'd take that GBPAUD entry earlier.

Heres the chart from earlier...

I'm looking for a couple of things before I enter nowadays..

Firstly look at the Dashboard and we see the 1 5 and 15 min TMAs are green so good to go long.

Secondly the 1 min TMA(middle band) has just changed to green so look for a pullback to go long

Price pulls back towards the 5 min lower band which is our preferred place to enter a 5 min trend, basically thats a 5 min pullback to its lower extremity.

We get a good reaction candle so place pending order above it and away you go..

Now your comment about iits ranging down from the top band, well thats what we expect don't we in an upward trending 5 min channel??? Thats the whole piont of these channels they show you where the 5 min trend extremeties are so we expect it to wave back up from there.

Thats the biggest thing about these channels, they are showing you where to enter in an uptrending 5 min channel like this one...The whole theorey around this strategy is biult on that philosophy that we buy bottoms of waves and sell tops. Well that was definately the bottom of a 5 min wave
down so get ready to buy...

Hope that all makes sense???

Remember these channels are showing you where this current 5 minute move up has been turning up to now and so hopefully can estimate where its gonna do it again ...Get a CCI signal there or there abouts and its got to be worth a shot...

Any questions fire away...
