Sober_C replied Jan 23, 2014I'm using ema30/ sma105 at present. I've been through so many combinations since The 3 Dragons & have to settle on something so hopefully this is finally it. Looks good so far anyway.

Sober_C replied Jan 21, 2014I had GJ m30 flatter but I've only realised now that I need to add the m30 to my m1 chart for a clearer picture of the flattening/ change in direction on the m30 as it doesn't show this on the m5 chart. This would have helped me get an earlier entry ...

Sober_C replied Jan 21, 2014Same trade but vs GBP for me. Didn't get in as early. Close was the same though; Adv ADX momentum change & vol divergence up at **00. Out for only 5p
. Chance of an earlier entry there but I wasn't convinced by the m30 stoch at FO.Islander and Medici trade the European open

Sober_C replied Jan 20, 2014Got a lunchtime trade in there. Looked the classic post-accumulation, distribution phase that I was pointed to via the Sonic thread a good while back (see Martin Cole on YouTube for a wealth of free knowledge on how market makers work). EJ & GJ were ...

Sober_C replied Jan 20, 2014Tough one this morning. Trying my best to stick to the set of principles that are coming together, namely; trade with m15 RSIoMA & then m30 stoch. EJ, EU, GJ, GU were all long this morning after BB squeezes. USD was stronger than JPY but I thought ...

Sober_C replied Jan 19, 2014I'm actually moving away from the HA candles on the m1 chart as I find they cloud my judgement when I see a pile of reds or a pile of greens, I think I've either missed the boat or there's nothing happening & it makes me hesitant. With normal ...

Sober_C replied Jan 17, 2014RSIoMA 14 seems to work at m1 for me & at m15. I'm starting to use m15 RSIoMA/ Drake Delay sto as my initial indicator/ filter to force my hand as to trading direction or what I expect to happen in the hour or 2 ahead. So far so good. If the m30 ...

Sober_C replied Jan 17, 2014I'm using the 30ema as my median. Thanks for the tip on the BB EMA, have just updated the code on mine now as a result, cheers.

Sober_C replied Jan 17, 2014I'm dallying with the idea of waiting for a return to the median if price reaches out beyond the BBs. In the case of GU it meant holding off till the close of 7:44 to enter. Currently short EJ. Edit: Once volume left the market decided to exit the ...

Sober_C replied Jan 16, 2014M30 stoch is my no. 1 indicator; if it's at a nice angle, that's the direction I want to be trading (bear in mind I'm only looking for the st trend).

Sober_C replied Jan 16, 2014Funny you should mention that Figgsey as only today I've decided to scrap the Sonic volume indy alltogether; it's just getting in the way & is adding no value. If I need to see a move beginning or potentially ending I can see the wrb's on the ...

Sober_C replied Jan 16, 2014Very frustrating alright. Hard to call UJ. Have been in & out of EU as I just can't call it but it was GBP that was weak & that was where I should have been. Still holding short EU as USD looks like it might strengthen somewhat here but another fail ...

Sober_C replied Jan 15, 2014After much study I've concluded that for scalping the best exits are either a change in momentum on the Advanced ADX 7 (as long as the adx 21 & 42 aren't floating above the histogram in which case, as per Alien, there should be more in the move), or ...

Sober_C replied Jan 15, 2014I saw the trade but didn't want to take it due to yesterday's GJ strength but, as you said, if it's a continuation of the Asian session trend then it's ok for a trade. Must keep this in mind; Yen crosses only for continuation trades. Had a bit of a ...

Sober_C replied Jan 14, 2014Thanks for this, much appreciated. I definitely prefer the idea of waiting till mid FH to see what's going on.

Sober_C replied Jan 14, 2014Missed both shorting opportunities on EU & GU at around 7 - 7:05 GMT purely through procrastination. Read the signal just didn't pull the trigger as I was thinking that it was maybe too early to trade. Very frustrating as they both turned out to be ...

Sober_C replied Jan 13, 2014Thanks. Even in the here & now the standard setting doesn't give me a similar output to yours but anyway, I don't feel I need it at present with Alien's indicators doing their job.

Sober_C replied Jan 13, 2014Can I please ask what T3 setting you have m1 in the matrix? Mine is 8 periods but it never really changes & I completely disregard it as a signal at this stage.

Sober_C replied Jan 13, 2014USD was strengthening v EUR, GBP & JPY (after weakness) so took the GU signal which looked good across the board & also had a distinct profit release look about it when looked at without HA candles . It came at 7:30 but I was away from the desk & ...

I've tried a similar m5 setup to you so I can see all pairs at once as flicking between 5m pairs is right hassle & I always feel like I'm going to miss something. Good call, it's ...Islander and Medici trade the European open
