vlady1974 replied Jul 15, 2015Yes, and I've got them set to Close not Open. I think that was force of habit. I will switch it tonight to Open and see if it's any different - I don't think it will.

vlady1974 replied Jul 15, 2015I don't normally do this (ie. bottom/top picking) with my existing strategies. But this one I've come across just happened to work out: a) Uses divergence as a trigger b) Uses 3 candles to indicate trade setup c) I added a 3rd which is to use lower ...

vlady1974 replied Jul 15, 2015That's actually a very lovely setup 4H, 1H, 15M and 5M!! Edit: I'm gonna wait for the lower close outside of Bollinger or perhaps an EMA bounce off 5M tf and then join you.

vlady1974 replied Jul 15, 2015Still here at work. Bored. So I've tested a trade setup I usually look for on Daily/4H on 5M for EURUSD. Long EURUSD @ 10933.6, target open, SL -6 Edit: SL to +2, risk free experiment.

vlady1974 replied Jul 15, 2015It's interesting reading the commentary on the EURUSD thread and comparing it to price. If the swing bottom forming now actually confirms, then we have a misprice @ 10964 that will definitely be revisited. This implies another long ...

vlady1974 replied Jul 15, 2015Long GBPCAD @ avg 19939, closed +355 Longs still open: USDJPY @ avg 12372.5 GBPJPY @ 19300.8 Will consider reloading on GBPCAD, the long term target of 20500 (posted previously) now seems realistically in reach.

vlady1974 replied Jul 15, 2015From a completely different (non-zigzag) reason, yes it looks like continuation upwards. The MACD you are using has similar properties to how I use it (I'm making a big assumption here but I am quietly confident you are). It suggests higher since ...

vlady1974 replied Jul 15, 2015ZZBB Method shows that GU has spiked a swing Low close outside of bollinger band (COBB) which means the next leg must be produce a high. The target of such a leg would at least be the last swing high (which also was COBB). Overall the upward flag is ...

vlady1974 replied Jul 15, 2015Cheers mate. Yep, no shorts on GU. I looked at the 15M and it invalidated any 5M setup. Larger timeframes rule! Thanks for the kind words!

vlady1974 replied Jul 15, 2015Stopped out +32 but I may go again. Depends on the divergence on the 5M. I'm looking for a particular formation then break.
