I like eurusd-thijs's use of the One-glance Trader trend dashboard. It makes selecting suitable trades easy. But on GBPUSD, the daily shows price to be stretched away from the EMAs, so I agree with josi that a bit of caution is required. Use a stop ...

You are right, there have been very few decent setups. It seems many pairs are turning, or at least undergoing a pullback. And those that are continuing on their power moves up or down are so extended or close to a key level that they are not ...

OK, you can ignore that bit about the CAD news release. It was in a hurry. Target reached.

I traded this pair too. Pity about the CAD news release in an hour. Or maybe not. I'll let it run but cut it off if it looks like heading south. image

This trade just reached its target. I had another trade running (GBPAUD long) that I used the OGT dashboard to identify (that's the so-called 3x3 method). It reached its target a bit earlier. That brings my growth on account to 5% for July so far. ...

With the EA I am doing an experiment. I set the trigger TF to H4, same as my trading TF. It is set on manual, so I get to control what happens, and so I also removed any time restrictions on when it can trade. SL and TP are both 80 pips. So far I ...

The new EMA alignment signal came last night. This morning I saw that the consolidation zone (which is a kind of pullback) had extended but not broken yet, so I entered at the base of it. image

I have been exploring my "yellow arrow strategy" (I must find a better name for it!) that I first commented on last week. It is simply just the moment when all three EMAs align on that TF. Once the signal comes it is important to wait for a pullback ...

eurusd-thijs, can you please clarify for me. In the T version of the EA, have you kept this type of trigger candle? "Place a trade at the close of a candle that opens inside the fast EMA and then closes outside of it (i.e. in the direction of the ...

I have started using manual trading on the EA with a signal provided and I like it a lot. image I have rejected all of these so far, and given that today is Friday and NFPs, it must be a convincing trade before I would take it: All on H4: USDCHF ...

Here's another trade, late in the day. It's kind of a perfect entry and a great response, but there is support just below that I need to think about. EDIT: I moved my TP up to a pip or two above the support line. That was a quick 29 pips, 32 minutes ...

Those blue arrows are built into whatever App you are using to place your trade. In this case it must be the EA. I haven't seen them while using the EA either, but they are actually quite common. They are useful to mark your trade beginning and ...

I agree. This EA does something that I haven't seen before, which is to give signals when set on manual. Giving the trader control over the decisions is really good.

One thing I like about this 21 EMA crossing the 100 EMA signal (my yellow arrow signal), is that it is not discretionary. Either the crossover has happened and I see my yellow arrow, or it hasn't. And then we wait until we see an entry opportunity, ...

Back to using the first appearance of all three EMAs becoming aligned. This GBPCAD trade gave a yellow arrow signal (as mentioned before, that is basically where the 21 EMA crosses over the 100 EMA, meaning all three are then aligned). There is then ...

This is the original brief. I want to focus on point 2: "Place a trade at the close of a candle that opens inside the fast EMA and then closes outside of it (i.e. in the direction of the trend)." This is based on my observation that a pullback to ...
