whatever helps you make more confident decisions is fine. I haven't posted it, but I also have the Smoothed 5 Moving Average Channel using High and Low. It gives me a little extra boost to my confidence, I just wanted to keep the Candy Striper thing ...

looking at the chart you posted, yes it moved against you, but the AO never changed to red. True guts in this system is holding on as long as that AO hasn't changed against you. If your position size was right, you could have tolerated the risk a ...

right now... look at E/J 15min chart. There is a beautiful setup long and I'm in it right now... I'm thinking Asia is about to run it up until the london open. Hoping for 30+ pips, but willing to cut bait if it starts to look sketchy

I'm starting to think that the MACD should have been left out of this system, because it seems to be confusing people... The HA, AC and AO are what is important along with MTF analysis and TA analysis... Another approach is to just wait for the ...

Also, it should be added that your classic Technical Analysis skills will only help in picking the best signals to trade. Classic james16 stuff... Use your Support/Resistance, Trendlines, and Round Numbers to your advantage... and don't forget those ...

Please don't get too caught up with the MACD, it is the least important indicator of this method. The 0 line of the MACD is irrelevant. Just look at Value and Signal. Value>Signal confirms a Long Value<Signal confirms a Short The MACD could be ...

The MACD is secondary, but it does seem to work well as a filter for false signals. Truly what is most important is your Multiple Time Frame Analysis. I will constantly go up and down the time frames until I have a 'feel' for what's happening, then ...

here is a great example off the E/J Daily chart. The arrow shows the profitable signal, and the 'X' shows how the MACD was effective in filtering the false signal

Trading with Heiken Ashi and Heiken Ashi smoothed - Hybrid

This has only been tried on the G/U so far, it may work on other pairs. I'm attaching today's 4H chart so far. You can see that I bracketed the 4HR bar with the dashed green lines, 10 pips above the high and 10 pips below the low. The first bar ...

past performance is not indicative of future results . I will post current trade charts on the G/U this week and beyond as time allows. It is very simple to backtest it yourself, though. Randomly spin back to any section on the 4H chart, locate ...

4H 5EMA System

Sterling, I am a big fan of this system and this thread. I would like us to be able to add more pairs though... off the top of your head, if you did let's say, AUD/USD, what modifications would you make? different EMA's? if we can, as a group, let's ...
