HI SM it was a kumo bearish breakout on 15 and 30 min and weak TS/KS cross on 1H. gold is in an up general move but CSTLB can put you in position for correctional moves. better be careful though of the spread with your broker. Any pair can be used ...

Hi Chngster, well, no argument about your gain, but I think you were lucky. what was the basis of your trade, the TP and SL? I think this was on 5M TF if I am correct, and looks like it was a bounce off the kumo, but what about the higher TF? was ...

SMJ, I am not trying to blame the indicator, my point was that with your broker the idicator triggered the long position, with my broker,it did not untill I used the 144ma tunnel (did u notice the missing arrow in the middle chart?). that is not ...

SMJ I am not suggesting to modify the rules and yes it is working as it is supposed to, I am still using MF's rule, I just wanted to point out that with different brokers the trigger may not be the same, mine did not trigger with MF's standard 89ma, ...

Since this was not a fractal based trade, then I would not use the fractal yet (actually I'm still digesting the material), but not all entries as you've noticed coincide with fractals, so the answer is I would use the kumo first then the higher KS ...

the signal was a weak bullish TS/KS cross, hit the kumo, consolidated then broke out. the CS was already clear at the time so yes. for a more conservative entry you could have waited for the kumo breakout but there was a small blue cloud in front of ...

two clouds — Hi Forex37 try this MTF file, for the current TF the timeframe =0, for any other use the number of minutes 240 for 4H, 1440 for D1... you will have to load a copy for each TF you want to see and make the color of TS, KS, CS of the ...
