{quote} Hi Mury Thanks for that ... you are addicted to ATR SL 2.0 ... breathing space .... As usual read all your posts before I posted my comment It may be a dumb thought but very interested on your thoughts Post 13731
Yes you're right, its a good idea. Hope Seller9 would do something on that.

Cheers.

{quote} {quote} Thanks brother. My Casino is set on a H1 chart, pairs H1, no TSL but ATR SL 2.0. Also read this post for how it all went. http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...38#post8716038 I set the trading session to start picking trades at 2hour before LO and stop picking from NY close. Cheers. MM
These are the same settings and hours I was using and it wouldn't initiate the trades when crossing the trigger lines. Only exceptions were I was using M1 and 8-Ball(H1) as extra filters. I know for sure that the currency was showing the right color when it crossed the trigger line but I am not sure about M1 as I was not always looking. I guess I'll try with M1 turned off tonight in case that was the problem. I have to keep 8-Ball to reduce the number of trades due to the size of my account.

The same has been happening on my other account with 8ball (no trades opened eventhough all conditions were right to open the trades). It opens only 1 trade in every 24hours.

Hmmm! Maybe the 8-Ball is the problem then. I might have to look at other options to limit the number of trades to take at the same time until Seller9 introduces that capability and he fixes this problem.
Thanks!

Hi Seller9

The more I use "Swing" the more I think it has enormous potential.

Because it appears, to a novice, to be no different to a combination of Semafor and horizontal trend break (correct me if I am wrong) but I am not aware of the setting used to calculate the "Trig Hi" "Trig Low", but have you ever considered combining Swing with indicator 'shved-supply-and-demand', see below, and having Swing operate between the output parameters of that indicator which has a history of effective prediction based on historical data? (Or maybe you or someone else knows of a "better supply demand indicator")

Lastly the feature I also like is that if you are manually going through the charts to see possible upcoming trades and you realise that you have just missed a trade it is so easy to adjust the Trig Hi Trig Low and be in the trade so you don't miss out completely. I know it's not the auto-way but a little money in the pocket is better than none.

Fantastic work ... again many thanks.

Hi jpyp99 and others

I am not sure it is an issue with 8Ball because my 8Ball works however the trades are limited compared to straight Swing.

I think it may have something to do with 8 Ball which operates on overbought/oversold and the trade may not be within those parameters at the time so no trade - it will open when those parameters are met again - I am sure Seller9 will correct me if I am wrong ... just my thoughts ...

I can't speak for others but in my case, all required conditions are met on several pairs ( 8 ball highlights the pairs, swing arrows appear on PIN 1 with directions in agreement, spread range allowed and trigger line broken ) yet trades are not opened.

Yeah same for me. All conditions are met and nothing. Then finally one trade was opened but it was closed right away...reason was HSL when I was only using ATR SL 2.0. So a couple of problems for me.

Hi MM

I can see that 8Ball has opened USDCAD so it worked at least once, maybe my assumption is wrong, maybe put a cci on the same pair that hasn't opened and that should tell you if overbought/oversold parameter has been met ... just a thought ...

I believe casino doesn't look at any indicator to confirm what the 8Ball says, once the 8Ball highlights a pair, then it is believed to be OB or OS. Besides that, even if that is the case, it is not normal to have one trade only in every 24hours for the past 72hours. Is it?

{quote} Dear Seller9, You really keep on surprising us with every new edition of golden eggs! I am testing the Swing strategy as described by you in your video, but today I got stopped out on GBPUSD at only 12.2 pips despite having another 13 in reserve:{image} Can you tell me what could be wrong with my setting? God bless You, TJ
Hi TraderJoes,

Hopefully if I'm reading your chart right I can answer your question. To my understanding and what I have observed on my own trading of this system is that with the JSL in place, it will place the stoploss 25 pips from where the trade is taken. If the trade moves into positive it will trail the stop behind the trade by 25 pips so if your trade went into profit as some stage by 12-13 pips then the stop loss would have been pulled up accordingly. I can see from your chart that the candle that the trade was stopped out on actually went into profit so therefore the stop loss would have been pulled up. From there the trade reversed for a bit before taking off in the right direction however it reversed enough to hit your stop loss.

I have moved my stop loss out to 30 pips and might even make it 35 as like you I have had a couple of trades go into profit, reverse for a bit and get taken out before falling away into what would have been a good profit. That is all part of the testing and tailoring the system to suit.

Hope this helps, Thanks, Matt.

Hi MM

Good point ... I am basing my comments on my previous use of 8Ball see Post 13642 when it all worked perfectly for me, see below.
What did the cci show on your pair charts? Ranging or OB/OS?
So unless something has changed?

Of course CCI shows OB/OS on pairs and that is what the 8Ball is showing but the problem is; my Casino won't open the trades even when all the conditions are met. What baffles me is ; it works for you and some others but not for me and some others. Are we doing something wrong?

So I've been experimenting with the swing plugin. Just got everything setup and running this morning (US EST) Not the best of days. I have Casino on the Daily and the charts on the H1 with the H1 8Ball and the 25pip TSL.. I took some time off for a few months so I need to catch up on what ATR SL 2.0 is. I'll have to watch the vids. Anyways, here's my screenshot for the day:

Hi MM

I setup as per the Seller9 video as I am sure you did also.
He has said previously that 8Ball + Swing is very conservative and you wont be caught in a loop using it and it wont blow your account.
Maybe we all need to wait for Eugene to tell us all ...

Have a good one

PS - Just went back to look at mine and it has just opened trades as below, what about you?

I had 3 trades opened today with Seller's settings in the vid. The gotcha for me when trades didn't open previously was that my trading session was closed.

I started yesterday the swing strategy, as per seller9's video (except all pairs were selected) - unfortunately I got -250 pip loss. So I'm trying something else: window trading now restricted to -2 LO to NY closing; now, exit and stop loss will be managed by ATR 2.0 only.

I don't have issue with Swing 24/5 so far, though no trade this morning, last one was last night which closes already. I use the default Seller9 setting, but no configured exit in Casino. I only use Basket TP, which works so far. Only difference is I use 8-ball on Daily setting, and one trade per candle = false. All TF is 1hr include where Casino reside. Just want to see the capability for maximum profit and trigger.
