Here are my thoughts on TP targets (which I've even slightly modified from yesterday, so it's still a work in progress)... First off, I'm still using Burt625's method of EQUAL TP/SL. That being said, if the signal candle was a big one, then I'll ...

Thank you Harold. I think I might take a break from posting for a while, as I kind of feel like I might be hijacking your wonderful thread. Thanks for everything...

Um, no...... For either the daily or the hourly direction (or signal) to be valid it must be based off a candle CLOSE. When you are making a trade ON the 14th, you must base the daily direction off the close of the Dec 13th daily candle. (you cannot ...

There was no daily direction on cable at the close of the dec 13 candle, so we could not consider any trades for the 14th of dec. Stick with Harold's system -- It's a gold mine!!

When you save in paint, change the save format from .bmp to .jpg or .gif (I recommend .gif -- It will look pretty much the same as the .bmp imo) The file size will be ALOT smaller that way! EDIT: Whoops, never mind. I see you've already done that.

If you use that one, then you'll need to install the sendmail program first. (otherwise, you won't be able to compile and run the indicator) You can find the sendmail.zip program in this post: url (the sendmail program will send a picture with the ...

This usdjpy signal came out an hour before the perfect usdcad one. This one scared me at the time, but only because I was obsessed with seeing a good setup on the bo7a system to compliment it. (The bo7a looked ugly for a new long entry, imo. If ...

Just looking at yesterday's action and I see that I missed a picture perfect setup for usdcad at 6 am est (when the signal candle closed). For this pair, I was planning a 25 pip TP (which would have hit with EASE, even without waiting for a ...

Harold's been generously upfront, detailed and honest about his system so far. I have no reason to doubt him.........yet. (best to catch him in a lie first, I think) p.s. At least he's not trying to sell his system in some sort of book. (that would ...

Hey guys, I agree, last night was dismal for signals. However, I've started to become picky. I only traded the chfjpy signals last night. (I know this is not one of the main ones, but with a spread of only 2.8 pips at Oanda and a daily average range ...

If you read his posts, you'd know that Harold4x has been making a living off of this system for 6+ years! How's that for a track record!

Ya, sorry about that. I corrected the template file as soon as I realised that was there. When I do my prep work at the daily candle close, I mark off the new daily candle with a vertical line - blue for long signals today and red for short signals. ...

ehhh, tired of waiting around, news time coming up and i gots stuff to do right now, so i closed out my swissy for a whopping 13.5 pips. Not a bad night.

hey, none taken. thx really belongs to harold4x and mikep though. I just tagged along. looks like trendchaser is putting lots of time into this as well. good job! (too bad ea's won't help with an oanda trading account.... sigh.)

finally some nice green pips again. at the 5 am EST signals, i waited for the prices to retrace to the 5 ema before i entered this time. I tp'd 45 pips on gbpchf, 15 pips on eurchf and still working on 20 pips for the usdchf. That one's still kinda ...

First of all, this indicator was not my creation, I simply corrected a slight error with it. You're only getting long signals because that's all you have it set to look for. The default value for the DailyDirection variable is "up" in the inputs ...

when you say it shows up it the "indicator list", do you mean to say that when you right-click on your chart where your candles are and select "indicator list" it is there under the "main chart" heading? or do you mean to say that it is simply in ...

the key to the mint

i'm assuming that you are talking about the alert indicator mikep whipped up, right? the dailydirection variable is default value "up". if the dailydirection on the pair you are trading is down, you have to manually change that variable to "down".

well i lost 30 pips on that eurcad long signal. now, that i look back on it though, it wasn't exactly a nice looking setup. i think that maybe i'll at least wait for the stoch to swoop into the 30's before i take any more long signals from the pairs
