I'm up about 23 pips at the moment, Igorman got a better entry than I did. I see a downtrend and the current uptrend; but this uptrend could be a pullback of the downtrend that started on June 5. I can't quite tell which will win out. I'm thinking ...

Igor, I bought the usdcad, too. It's not looking good so far, but let's see what happens...

Barbossa, So, on the H1 chart, if price is above the 100 MA, and the stoch crosses up & HA color change to green occurs, this indi will alert me & signal a potential Long entry? But if stoch crosses down & HA color changes red, while price is above ...

Barbossa, Does this indicator monitor both the D1 and Hourly timeframe for the HA changes and stochastic crosses/MA relationship?

I have been riding the EU down for over 200 pips now - but a pullback here wouldn't surprise me one bit. And if it takes me out at my SL, I will look for a reentry if the slide resumes...

Igor, It's been profitable SO FAR. But HB is right that this is a riskier entry strategy. It also allows for smaller SLs though...

Don't know how much value you would put into my opinions, but I would consider that trade. I actually like the potential Long opportunity the usdcad is showing as a clearer read. But you're right, that AUD does look like it wants to drop a bit. The ...

Igor, I followed the system with 1 modification: when the HA change looked imminent on the Daily chart, I dropped down to the H1 chart and positioned myself to enter upon the close of a HA candle below the 100 sma. As for a pullback; I'm hoping it ...

Yep - the good thing about it was that I was already past BE when today's news came out. The news sped the ride up - and I just hung on. I have locked in 100 pips of eurusd profit, just in case things reverse tmrw (NFP). Gonna lock in 50 in the ...

It would be at the completion of the doji. HB mentioned in a prior posting that when the D1 HA color changes, the price has crossed the 100 sma on the H1 chart. So if that D1 HA color change was preceeded by a doji, which HB also talked about as ...

SMA cross — HB, Since a D1 HA color change tends to correspond with a H1 cross of the 100 sma (as you pointed out about 30 or so pages ago), what do you think of the idea of waiting for an HA doji on the D1, then dropping to the H1 and placing ...

audusd — Was up as much as 45 pips on an Aussie Long before going to bed last night - woke up to the surprise of an overnight reversal and disappearance of profit. And since my SL is just below the H1's 100 sma, I am not 10 pips away from ...

Thanks for not only the suggestion, but also the timely replies, HB. I was thinking the same thing regarding the Weekly/H4 idea - sounds like a natural step up from D1/H1, in terms of MTF trend seeking...
