alcastro replied Mar 13, 2007TURK, as you know a round top (short trade) may easily turn into a TC (long trade). The idea is that once you see a RT in the 4hr MACD, when the first red bar has been totally formed, before waiting for the second to complete, you can decide your ...

alcastro replied Mar 13, 2007FunTrader, have you back-tested/forward tested this method before? Or is this the test? Based on what do you say it is profitable? I am not trying to be critical here, I only want to understand in what stage is this system currently. I like its ...

alcastro replied Mar 13, 2007EUR/US — Ok. My 4hr candle just closed. It continues to paint red on the MACD. But the 1 hr is telling a different story. I will let this one pass.

alcastro replied Mar 13, 2007US/CAD — Went short with US/CAD @ 1.1687 MACD showing TC. Crossed 89 MA to the south. Double top at 1.8117 (sort of) TP just above a TL at 1.1623 I broke one of my cardinal rules: wait until the line is completely painted in MACD. But...I have ...

alcastro replied Mar 13, 2007Eur/us — I was ready to short this pair, but the 1 hr MACD is showing a strong reversal to the long side (sort of a RB but more pointed than rounded). I gues I will wait a little longer. Any thoughts?

alcastro replied Mar 12, 2007I am having second thoughts regarding this trade. Here is why: 1- Is counter-trend (89 MA is below now) 2- 21 & 8 MA are very close and there is a high probability that it will rebound from there and follow Phillip's path. So I will continue to ...

alcastro replied Mar 12, 2007Fxhermit. My bar is not closing until 214 minutes and 35 seconds (thanks to the info in your indicator). So I'll wait for it to close, and then a little more. Check the 1 hour and if everything is OK....jump in!

alcastro replied Mar 12, 2007Steve, I don't quite get it (sorry
: ). Does that means that you trade a fixed number of lots (equivalent to 2% of your equity per pair) regardless of your s/l size?Steviet's Live Trades!

alcastro replied Mar 12, 2007Steve, I have been following your method but found the following regarding pips & money. I limit my exposure to 3% per trade (I know you limit it to 2%). That means that the bigger the s/l the smaller the lot size I will trade. Well, last week I had ...

alcastro replied Mar 11, 2007Fxnewbie, What I understand is that yes, the 1 hr signal is a confirmation of the 4hrs. So wait 1st. for the completion of the 4 hr bar (the 1st bar that draws the pattern). Usually it could be a TC or a R/TB. Since we go into the trade as soon as ...

alcastro replied Mar 11, 2007Chandra, I use MIG. Their day starts at GMT+1. SO to me it already closed. You have a ittle more time. In my case I will hold my trade until I see a red bar completely closed. This is not yet the case for Euro. Even though I agre with your analysis

alcastro replied Mar 11, 2007I am with you cityguy, even though my analysis is based on the MACD: RB, under 89 MA (bear sentiment), confirmation in 1 hr. Nice to see other indicators confirming Phillip's MACD.
