Going down... — Damn, just when I don't hold a trade (AU short) over the w/e.... That really should have been predicable given the Greek & French elections!

HB, I'm concious of trying not to complicate your approach, and I accept your comments about keeping it simple. I've looked at a lot of strategies, some of which may be successful, but extremely complex and you could never be sure what are the ...

D1 & H1 Charts - Another Variation (HA Candles) — Same chart as above, but with HA candles & no HA Oscillator. Looks easy when the market is closed!

D1 & H1 Charts - Another Variation — HB, I like your method of using the D1 chart & Stoch crossover to establish the trend. The chart I've attached is a bit messy as I'm just experimenting, but uses the MTF Stoch set to 1440 (D1) on a H1 ...

Metatrader Tip - Display Closed Orders on Chart — This is something I did not know: Q: Can I quickly look up a position from the account history on the chart? A: Yes. All you have to do is drag-and-drop the ticket (a unique identifier for each ...

I think that would have worked well on AU last week. At least one good trade / day from the open on Monday. Edit: Ok - now I see your chart, which was exactly what I was thinking of...

Thanks for the warning. Too many holidays, too many Fridays... Kept my AUDUSD short alive through NFP as I had reset to BE & was about 33 pips up. Volatility spike was about 20 pips before it continued down. Pic taken just before it hit my TP @ ...

Futures — Sounds ideal, but I'm betting its not quite as simple as that...

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

You've convinced me... Only 14 pips up at the moment but decided to move stop to BE. Could be lucky with the NFP but more than likely the volatility will hit the SL. Anyway, with the SL set I'd be comfortable with this on a live account now.

AUDUSD — AU is sitting on significant support around 1.0250. Current economic outlook is Aus is looking slightly bleaker (not compared to Europe...), and significant budget cuts expected next week. Not sure if that is good or bad for the ...

EU retail sales were up a bit so that may negate the bad news for now. Who knows which way the NFP will go or what will be the affect - probably just enough volatility to hit your stop...then head off in the direction you first thought!

Just my observation & not an expert opinion - This could be a good breakout trade with about 80 pips potential if it moved fast enough. The last EUR news (Final Services PMI) was supposed to be bad for the currency, so maybe this could be the start ...

AU — Good one HB. Would be nice to do that all the time! I managed one nice 55 pip trade out of that. Didn't get the right sequence for the others & got stopped out of a AJ short on the NY open. Hope you don't mind my adding a few indicators ...

Pips 4 Life Clock — Also did a revision of the P4L Clock I've been using to correctly show spreads & ranges. For explanation see url My revised file is attached. Hope someone finds these a useful addition to HB's stategies.

I'm trying the Sweetspots indicator with colour set to Indigo (on black background). Probably as good as it gets without a change to Metrader (which I don't think occured with the change to MT5). Thanks Jakwir.

Vertical scale MT4

Vertical Scale Indicator for Round Number Levels — I found what I believe is a better alternative to the "quick draw" indicator to show round number levels at 100 & 50 pip intervals. The advantage is: 1. you can set different line types / ...

I did an update just recently & I believe my version is running the correct times for the major locations (NY is currently on Daylight Saving Time). I also made the following mod: if (! custommode) return(point); else { if (symbol == "NOKJPY" || ...

New very cool CandleTime and session time Clock indicators

HB, I haven't had time to really study the last few pages of comments that closely so might not be adding much value here, but Dildubai's AU trade and comments by Yogi & yourself continue to reinforce the advantage of having momentum on your side. ...

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

I think your trade is okay. The daily stoch is kicking up a bit, but I'd say that is just an indication of the previous few bars. H1 and lower time frames show it's sitting on support around 80.10, but H4 indicates some momentum that should break ...

USDJPY — HB, I was just about to write that your UJ momentum trade was looking okay, but it just reversed again. Did you get anything out of it? (London open volatility??)
