Oh by the way forgot to add that if you are a little lazy you could just take the breakout of the 8.00 - 9.00 bar, no bells or whistles just simple price action
What time zone, based on GMT, for 8-9?
Lord, Liar, Lunatic. Those are only 3 options to Christ's diety claim.

Here is a longer trading pattern I have noticed. If you plot the daily midline TMA on either the 4HR and the 1HR, you can trade a rubberband effect. For example on this chart. I have the Daily midline plotted on the 1Hr. When the upper band (green) of the H1 goes below the daily midline, I look for TMA outter band touches to enter a long (and vice versa).

Im testing it out over time... but seems like there might be some promise...

Same with me. Read some great stuff on other threads and websites and used different indicators but always came back to that idea of ABCD. To me, its the strongest and easiest setup.

Just adding trading with the 5 minute trend and if the others line up hey presto you get more pips... When I use to trade the top trenders I made pips hand over fist so going back that way, I find waiting for the TMAs far too difficult for me...No patience I'm afraid, also firmly becoming...

Me too my friend, i'm not for any complications with my trading as my head starts to spin and I just can't win...

I like it plain and simple , just like your goodself, after all it can only go up or down so all we gotta do is decide are we a buyer or a seller???

Very easy to decide which if you only trade strong trending charts, very obviously going either up or down, then its a simple question of when to enter and when to exit?

Its simple ABCD....

A - Look for a strong trending pair...TTindy will tell you which ones

B - Wait for your pullback...CCI signals

C - Enter at C as price goes back in direction of trend..

D - Bank at point D whenever price falters in its drive..

Rinse and repeat until trend ends...

Heres the strongest trender right now and its not a good time to be trading as we should just stick to just after markets open and follow the money as it comes to the table...But it still works fine ...

Notice how all three MAs are in line too and the same colour they are 35lwmas from each time frame when they are in line look for a good run....

Notice also how the strongest/weakest indy says EUR top and AUD bottom so confirmation of the right combination of strongest/weakest pair too...

If you go into the TTindy settings, set the "change chart symbol" to false and re save the template and then reopen. It should keep it to one chart.

Very typical Frankie period with some GBP strength across the board but HRLY double tops here so not too keen to buy as very possibly GBP pairs will reverse here...

Top trender GBPAUD is right at its hrly top so it should turnover, or will it provide the liquidity the big boys need to drive it through????

GBP strength across the board and AUD weak on CSM but this top trender GBPAUD is looking a bit toppy for me so unless it breaks that HRLY top at 2.1525 I'm not buying it....

It might be taking a few steps back ready to smash through or it could be about to turnover, either way I'm not really interested , too risky....

Gonna let it make its mind up before jumping in just because its a top trender...

hello clive. i just arrive at ur thread a few week ago .
and this my first post .
im bad at english , sorry .

i follow ur method . but i have a problem .
i use TTindy . but i dont know the setting so . i use default setting after download it from this thread .
my problem is .
A : ah i see uptrend . i got (A) but this trend already move long , i hope not end yet .
B : i'll wait until CC turn down (red) and going up (trendCCI:20 from this thread)
C : ok CCI going to follow trend (green mid line) i open price now .
D : what ?! the price is going down not follow the trend and sometimes take 30minutes or maybe 20 minutes mid line change colour.

ur method is good . thats why u stick with it . and thats why i still follow this thread until now .
but i still didn't understand when the C point come .
i just think maybe the trend is going to end when i come in . according TTindy .
sometimes i think i didn't confidence when determine the C point .
maybe from ur advice . u can give me a confidence .

sorry about my english . but i still try to understand .
thanks clive .

Please,i need the TTindy. I see its a guide to trending pairs plus why are you not trading this ABCD Strategy on long time basis.Im am experimenting on something which gave me a 1000% ROI from monday to friday though on a demo account.But i wanna try it for a month before i can begin to discuss it.

Hi

Heres the TTindy attached below and the two other indicators you'll need to put in a TTindy folder in your indicators list like below.. ...

The settings I use are these where it opens up the top 8 5 minute trending charts automatically for you by ranking the 5 min 35lwma slopes...

You might have to put a prefix or suffix input in if your broker has them on your symbols..

What I try to do is trade the strongest trending 5 min charts on my 1 minute charts whenever the 1 min trend (35lwma) turns in the same direction as the 5 min trend..

Good luck any more questions fire away...not that you need to with a 1,000% return this week I shouldn't think you're need anything else????
