Makes sense thats what I'm doing just waiting for a middle band colour change then see if I like the look of the turn. Is it at a good place on the chart to turn eg Outer bands 5 15 and hrly .. especially if its channel is sloping the same way, then its a no brainer far as I'm concerned...

heres one I took earlier on GBPUSD , price at bottom bands of 5,15 and hrly so took next turn up, only got 8.6 pips out of it as it hit a sell level but should of held to the 15 min upper band for 26 pips,

Hey guys great thread great people no doubt. I will say I spent days bouncing through thousands of pages to try and get the temp working. Maybe if I had mq4 and could repile might ne able to get the to work. I have 6 live accounts and 6 demos, and only can get them all to work on one! Maybe on down time someone would be willing to update first page with temps and working indies as this thread has evolved through thousands of pages. Great work on your trades and a great thread Clive!

Yes I think its true to say this thread has evolved a fair bit and so making it very hard for anyone to follow or catch up by just reading so over the weekend I will update where we are now and upload my templates etc...

I think when we introduced the higher timeframe TMAs giving us our trading channels and the best place to enter on the 1 minute chart it turned a corner so to speak. for me it gave me my road map by which to take my quirky little, low risk, 1 minute entries.

Been messing around with the Dax today and that appears to trade very nicely with this system... So looking forward to posting some more DAX trades too as we go along...

My thoughts at the moment are that price can only go up or down and our middle line tells us which direction to trade just a matter of choosing which turns to trade and which ones to leave well alone...

Simple really, but not easy I'm afraid...

The cool thing about your system is it follows the monkeys pushing the money. If you can use a system like this for a great entry you can scalp and long term also. Things have been so volatile it has been harder to go long term. If you find you 1 minute entry lines up with larger tfs take some bring sl to be and let the rest go. Its a great feeling when you can take 1000 pip trade off. And if your entry is scalping with little draw drown you can bet more of the bank! Thanks for your reply and allowing me to participate. Good luck in your trading.

I agree in that the introduction of TMA bands allowed me to better follow "price flow".
The fact that TMA repaints is actually beneficial for evaluating such movement.

So the best way to profit from this is, get in with the flow.

Here is something interesting ....


At the top left of this thread page there is a box that says "Search This Thread".

This allows you to search for information in this thread specifically.

When I enter "TMA" (without quotes), it returns with nothing found.

When I enter any other word such as "catch" (without quotes), I get pages information in the thread with the word "catch" in it.

May need to look into that Clive ... :nerd:

Thanks to Clive and many contributors here -
This thread & evolving method has given new life to my almost dormant & hopeless 8years of fiddling w FX. I've been a long-time lurking fan here since P1, jumped to P323 as suggested, and onwards to now.

I've made more pips/$$ in both Demo & Live acc's than losing (YAYYY, 1st time) - even without any indicators but the TMA channels. Which, thank Heaven, give a very good indication where the price is more-or-less approximately plus/minus most-probably is aiming for.

No Indy's - bekoz only a few un-needed ones, of the kazillion listed here, actually works on my charts - with all the i's dotted and t's crossed. ...Plus, it seems Clive is lately only relying on his M1 or "current" TMA's mid-band alarm.
I understand what the latest Dashboard shows - but not exactly how to identify from it an almost ripe pair for the pickin'. Plus, it won't work on my charts as I said, even with the last posted TMA. NNNNGGGGGGGG

So it would be ultra "I'll buy you a pint" if Clive will, as he promised, unselfishly spend another exciting weekend to update here with all the latest versions of Indys-in-use - plus their user-select "properties".

Speaking of M1 -vs- current TMA -
I feel the smallest TMA-channel should remain the smallest, as a M1 (if posible) - so that it's easier to see the smaller snakes within all the bigger-&-bigger snakes - at least on the 1, 5, 15m TF-charts. ...But with "current" it becomes THE channel-&-centerline of whichever TF is opened - plus only the larger channels show, like the 1H and 4H channels.
At least it would be sharrup-&-sit reassuring if you-guys can show, or confirm, which channels shows on each of your different TF-charts. Then I can compare my channels shown on each TF that I'm looking at --- also knowing I'm not such a moron as some people thi ...uh, know I am.

Another request, if I may - although outside the scope of this threat ...uh, thread, but touched upon in the past -
Broker = reliable, good, trustworthy, low spreads, allthatsgood. ....Yeah, I know I know - they're as plentifull as chicken-teeth.
I'm currently with ...uh, FXCM --- pardon my cussword there.
Clive suggested way-back an Aussie comp'y DMMFX - and I nearly got excited. Maybe because I'm inclined to mis-trust anyone wearing cowboy-hats & drive V8-cars - get my drift? ...Alas, until someone shortly afterwards explained that they do not cover you if the sky falls in (acc going minus). ...Who else then, with tears in my navy-blue eyes???

Thanks in Advance - for your patience, more-explaining, shaking-your-head, and sniggering.

here is an updated arrow indi. it uses a less resource hungry cci indi for a filter. you dont need it on the chart, just in your folder. this one came with mt4, you might already have it.
