Trading is as simple as ABCD

Great thread Clive. I love your method, i initially found your post be searching the trading method of ABCD as that is simple to me and what i love. I kept reading on and later found out the system you've developed, awsome!!! I wanted to know, for someone who just wants to swing trade because of work commitments, would this system be ideal for 4H tf and 1H tf?

Yes you can trade the abcd moves on any timeframe or chart type you care to mention from range bars, renko charts right up to weekly and monthly charts because the abcd is the building block of all moves in any market.

Theres an initial move the AB leg which is the traders pushing the market one way as they make they're initial investment, then there is the BC move as they bank their profits from the AB move, the pullback, and then the CD results as they reinvest in the cheaper looking price causing a move back with the trend or the original AB leg. Its that simple...Invest , bank and reinvest again..

Apologies to all waiting for my promised post but I'm afraid I simply have n't had time this weekend to post my "current final system". I will soon and hopefully some videos too sometime showing me trading it live...

Just a matter of finding the time...
Feel the Fear and do it anyway!!!

No credit necessary. I can only assume Manuel must be away cos he is normally very quick with such things.

Found away that makes me comfortable to trade the 1 min chart, gone a little too far by adding the 120, 240, 480 but its just adds to the trend strength, all I have done is use multi CCI on a 1 min chart then just wait for them to match up, nothing new, in reality its just like a moving average cross method but leaves the chart cleaner, also tried the same thing with ADX then just for fun added them on the same chart, To me I can see the trend and then the pull backs (ABC) but adds the option to see bigger trends all off the 1min chart

Just to add, if you want even another helpful Trend finding crutch to add to your chart try Guppy + 120, 240 and 480 ema keeps you the right side, yes I know they are calculated a little different than the CCI but I am to idle to change them

Like what you did with the Charts. I do not like to trade the 1min chart by it's self either. I lose the big picture sometimes. So I have a 10min and a 4min and a 90second set up. 1st two show me the big picture and the 90second is my entry and exit with the first two. This is my 90second chart.

I can not agree with the expert, because it cost me enough programming. However it is a linear regression, eg short, when the price touches one of the upper lines 3, the breaking of the previous candle, opens the order, use the stochastic as 11-3-3 filter, there is no other, I from a send mail. The system is equal to that which is discussed here.

Thanks for the reply, I to like you thoughts and set ups, I think the most important part in trading is that you have to create your own method, even if it means taking parts of other methods and joining them up until you get something that you can call your own, that way, win lose or draw you can only credit or blame yourself, as you are well aware there are 2 standard systems on MT4 Ichimoku and Bill Williams in my time I have traded them both as stand alone methods and have to admit I think both are very good, but just for my ego I have to keep playing until I create my own method, and there lies what I think is the problem you can teach someone your style and method but 99% will never make it work because the do not understand the sum of the parts. The thing I really like about FF, guys put there ideas up and you just see if all or any part of them can form part of your own trading style. Own up to having lots of other chart templates that I use but just break them down and post them here because I like Clive (not to sure if it's the other way round now) and although the thread is nearly dead, its the first thread I joined and just want it to go on and on
