{quote} Hi Yes I see, so you would trade the currency pair where the slopes are in opposite direction so from your post which in this case around midnight last night it shows EUR strengthening and CAD weakening so we should have been looking at EURCAD as per chart below... {image} Hmmm looks very interesting and what I like most about it reading the guys thread is it based on TMAs so very much in line with my thread here.. Can you post the indy???? Meanwhile I'll see if I can download it myself...
Clive, my internet connection is playing games with me today. Am sorry I have given up trying to upload it. I hope you have downloaded it and can share with the others. I have been looking at the slopes on 15m and taking trades on m5. I have pocketed quite a number of pips. Am still getting used to this. With time I will be able to obtain better connection so that I can contribute here more often.

Regarding the SuperIndicator. Just use it live and try to see how it does. So yes, it does repaint and add arrows in the past as well.

Left is arrows printed without reloading, right is reloaded.

Had quite a few goes at this EURJPY and its knocked me off at BE several times but its a bit too near to its HRLY upper band for my liking but it sets up ok so take the entry and see what happens...

The thing is about going to BE quickly is it gets my risk off the table quickly and to be honest its either gonna go or its gonna come back at me... If it comes back at me and gets my BE then if it sets up again I'll give it another go...

Its got two choices in my book then either a winner or a draw, but no losers!!!!!

Maybe I should just hold through drawdown but just not my way......

Yep I'm not taking much notice of its signals today and to be honest they don't appear to be there at the time, so a nice little hindsight indicator but not a lot of use trading in real time.... will give it a bit longer but if it doesn't pull its socks up soon then its going in the bin....

GBPAUD has been a top trender down today but now its in the lower half of its hrly channel and its middle band has turned green so if we get our nice AB move up and a nice CCI buy signal I'll be interested....

Interesting time of the morning session where we regularly see reversal trades so I'm keeping my eye open for an opportunity to reverse these 5 min early trends and most of the earlier trenders are looking tired and turning over with middle bands changing colour.

Gonna keep an open mind as the morning trend can always come back with a whack, but you never know....

If I am going to trade a reversal then this is what I should be waiting for. First a middle band turns green then a nice push up our AB move then a pullback BC to a nice level 2.1325 and last high and if I get my CCI signal then in I go...

Took the CCI signal but it was a bit deeper than I thought and hard too, so went to BE quickly and first one knocked off at BE but had another go but whether its going to hold or not no idea...

Nope knocked off at BE , never mind there will be another one along shortly I'm sure...

Probably best to wait till its got itself a bit of room above its head before trying again, but nothing ventured nothing gained..
