Guys its raining here and wanted to do some tidying up in the garden so I have been rained off, hence got a little time on my hands, with that I just want to put up a slightly different view of Clive's 1min Method for all you guys with a need for speed in your trading, my aim is not to insult anyone, it is just my own idea and is very simple and visual, based all around CCI to keep the clutter off the chart. Ok there as been a lot of talk about trend strength, my answer to this is to use a series of CCI's my charts will show different number CCI...
Very nice Dave, good representation of what my trading is all about.

Quite simply find a strong trend and wait for your pullback then jump on board, your express train is leaving the station, choo, chooo!!!!

How we identify that strong trend is down to personal choice but your method here is obviously sound. The guy that designed the CCI indicator stated that if the CCI was above 100 then it was a strong trend therefore the longer term CCI's are green and above the 100 level so the longer tend is not only up but also strong, so then look for your red pullbacks in your smaller timeframe CCI's.. Just be aware of course as ever that trends do end...

So keep an eye out for that longer term CCI dropping below the 100 level thats your first indication your trend could be about to end..

I'm gonna put a very similar idea up later which is simple beyond simple using the CCI candles you provided me with..

Nice one Dave..
Feel the Fear and do it anyway!!!

Hi Dave, I look forward to the time when I can do some gardening myself. Hoping to use it to teach my children some lessons about life too. This is a very nice visual you have used to remind us of Clive's simple idea from the beginning. Very clear. I have a tendency to look at what would almost = the cci 240 and 15 on your chart. It's super reliable (at least for eurusd with my sl/tp). I just use a RSI for the higher TF (same thing, setting adjusted).

Hi D/T hope your keeping well, you have made all the Murrey templates with the setting we mentioned 1024 for a 1 min, all I have then done is add Clive's magic CCI 5 times manual each with a different setting and then just saved it as a template, as before this way it leaves guys to have the option to tweek the time-frames and CCI setting to suit there own style of trading eg some guys might try CCI set at Fib numbers

Nice to see 4 different TF's of the CCI (insert period of choice) all on 1 chart.

Do not however use this blindly based on visual back test as it is deceiving. Understand how the indicators work (no matter which you choose to use) before you use them.

This indicator (the 4 CCI one) paints green (up color) if that period CCI is over 0, it paints the pinkish color if the CCI is below 0. For those that use the 100 level as the trigger this indicator as coded does not differentiate, simply above / below 0.

Lastly it (as expected) repaints...

If you load a 1 minute chart and have CCI for 1 minute, 5 minute, 15 minute and 30 minute CCI's showing;

The 5 minute can repaint color up to the last 5 squares until the current (5 minute) bar closes.
The 15 minute can repaint color for up to the last 15 squares until the current (15 minute) bar closes.
The 30 minute can repaint it's color for up to the last 30 squares until the current (30 minute bar closes.

And so on...

As we all know throughout the printing of say a 30 minute bar we can start above zero and then end up below zero when it closes so the squares will change color for that whole 30 minute period. This means that while all 4 squares may have been green at entry when you go back later and wonder why a trade failed the 30 minute squares may now be pinkish.

Also what you lose is the use of trying to trade the higher TF CCI as the "trend" because you don't get to see when we have hit above (or below) the 100 levels getting into that "trend" phase. More importantly where the indi filters off the 0 level you also loose the visual of when the "trend" is faltering as the higher TF CCI falls back below the 100 levels.

For anyone that wants to try and trade this using multiple CCI's on one chart (as has been shown here in the past) what Dave shows with different period CCI's rather than different TF CCI's is more accurate and safe (no repainting).

Just want to make sure new traders understand how things work.

D/t just going to sit down with all the family for our Sunday Roast, mate I would have a heart attack if I had all that on a chart, I have to agree if you need it all I do not think you have missed anything, pop a chart up with it on and I will have a look a little later, I only trade at most 4 pairs and that's not very often so I have no need for all the strength meters (they are good) 90% of the time I trade with only Murrey and Range

First, Sory for my bad English.
Hi Clive, I have read your thread from page 4xx that you post on first page, to be hones, I'am also trade the AB=CB pattern with CCI, it give me good R:R, here my trade today.

Attachment

Reason to take a trade :
1. Posible Trend starting on M5, yes it's not on Top of TTindi.
2. My entr is to early, I though it will bounce on MA 35, and it also a 1.07300 round price. I take the risk because 10 Pip SL is lower than 175.

Reason to Exit or my TP set on
Completion of AB = CD.
Hi Price = 1.07489
My TP = 1.07487
Price Drop just after touching my TP.

Result : +17.9 Pip

***And for My 2 cent : Many people her confusing about the TP, you can use CCI divergence or AB=CD Pattern for TP.

D/T good job, but just thought that if guys do not like Murrey find the Sweetspots indicator and to make it a full house add a good Pivot indicator then I think its as good as it gets, also leaves room when new guys add better indicators they can be added as guys wish, I think it would be better to leave each indi separate to let guys build up there own charts with the setting and timeframes that they prefer
