Just read this elsewhere and couldn't agree more: Picking tops and bottoms in market is a fools game. It can be done, but the road is long and treacherous...and when all boils down, there are a lot easier ways to make money.

Trading is as simple as ABCD

Hi Clive I'm not sure if I can help further here. Try as I might you seem to be wanting to go off on a tangent every 2nd day and I don't want to be the jerk that's jumping on you from a dizzy height. I still don't think you realise what you have, so ...

Clive having a sense of deja vu. This wasn't in answer to a question of yours but it still applies.

Trading is as simple as ABCD

Agreed.

Trading is as simple as ABCD

That trade you refer to with a 10 pip stop would have been taken out. How do you identify the turn places back into trend, as I believe theres nothing new in trading lets say proven SR levels and W pivots. See charts. But you don't have to catch the ...

Trading is as simple as ABCD

Hi Clive It remains to be seen if the tangent that is being taken will work, for buys cci 210 crosses of -100 line I think might give lots of false early signals or as pres78 pointed out on your 2nd yellow line (see above chart) a normal system ...

Trading is as simple as ABCD

Jokes aside this might well mean that trades would be taken at break of B point and not C area.

Its not the tricks I know, its learning the new ones ...................

Trading is as simple as ABCD

Isn't item 2 going to be premature, for buys cci 210 going above -100 line? Isn't that focus going to keep you out of many perfectly valid sells as the cci bars bounce in and around the -100 level?

Thanks Poocher but there are some tricks this dog is way to old to learn. My brain got frazzled!

Trading is as simple as ABCD

Its just struck me, you might be suffering from fiveminuteitis. Its a strange affliction that hits lower TF traders. If the computer has been on for five minutes they feel this over powering need to trade. It can be catching and deadly if not ...

Trading is as simple as ABCD

If you were in any doubt as to the list: - cci 210 hit -100 - yes - cci 14 retrace (either 200 on scale or to +100) - yes - pa below ma's - yes - angle and/or separation of ma's - yes - abc - yes - currency meter SW confirms - yes There are more ...

Trading is as simple as ABCD

On the pairs I watch there was little that was jumping out at me as a trade. For some time aud was showing as the weakest currency and eur, usd, chf showing strong. There was only 1 pair that was complying with the rules and signalled a possible ...

Trading is as simple as ABCD

The losing trades you took this morning, were they against the rules? - cci 210 +100 (OK +100 had been hit but then drifted lower a little but for me that's OK) - cci 14 retrace (OK that probably happened) - pa above the ma's - angle and/or ...

Trading is as simple as ABCD

Clive, were you buying when price came back within the ma's?

Trading is as simple as ABCD

Yes sometimes things can happen Frankies hour. After the big Asian push up to 138.20 it was still making smaller HH, HL's. Price came back to 138.20 area and gave a higher low. All other rules for me were in place cci 210, above ma's, ...

Trading is as simple as ABCD

pres 78 will say that the cci 210 was dying on you. Looking at your chart and the one I posted earlier on the subject of cci dying (yes I know its just one example) your pa had a major retrace and then started going sideways, cci died, my chart pa ...

Trading is as simple as ABCD

I haven't looked at why but something happened causing a massive jump late afternoon US. That gave D a solid positive close that followed through big time this morning Asian session with over 100 pip move up. After such a massive move yesterday and ...

Trading is as simple as ABCD

This is a very tricky one. Some people that know indicators better might have more knowledge. The question would be when is an indi trailing off because its a trend reversal coming or is it trailing off because price action is going sideways before ...

Trading is as simple as ABCD

Yes I know, I know. Outstanding stuff.

Higher low, lower high system
