Edge, First, before you read the rest of this post and get mad at me, I would like to say "thanks" because I think you have led me down a path to potential profits using either C4 or Nitro. I was just trying to contribute. Second, I think it is very ...
C4 Scalping
- DocPMD replied Aug 7, 2009
This is the way I did it: 1. Under "Format Symbol" "Style" tab I set the color of both the up brick and down brick to white. 2. Under "Insert Analysis Techniques" "Paintbar" tab I added two "Custom Paintbar" indicators. 3. For one Custom Paintbar I ...
C4 Scalping

Not sure if it helps: So for an up arrow, Trix 2,1,1,1 must be > 0 and close of previous candle above the LWMA 8 and LWMA 12 ? And for a down arrow the opposite? I had assumed that your Renko bars are colored for Trix 2,1,1,1. Is that correct? And ...

DX, I would like to eventually try your indicators/settings on the Tradestation platform. But I can't figure out what filter you are using for the arrows. Can you please help with this? I am currently trading C4 to get a better feel for scalping, ...

Thanks for the answer. And just to be clear, I wasn't trying to start a debate, or a useless discussion, just wanted to understand how folks were trading this successfully. In my brief experience with Forex (4 yr overall, 6 mo very dedicated), one ...

I agree somewhat. There has been a lot of discussion, but I'm not sure there has been a definitive answer. For those who have been successful trading this so far, care to elaborate on how the stops are managed? I have looked over a lot of charts in ...

Edge, I resurrect this post of yours from a couple days ago because I am a bit uncertain as to how to proceed. In the post above, you go on about how the system has been optimized and proven, and come down pretty hard on people for trying to do a ...

Thanks for the explanation - nothing wrong with trading "naked". And regarding your preference to wait for retrace upon break, I'm sure you miss some breaks, but probably save yourself from more false breaks. Doc

Basber, Thanks for taking the time to look at those setups. And I'm glad I asked, because it gets back to my original question regarding reading the entire thread. The original "rules" document that I downloaded from page 1 does not say anything ...

Basber, Thanks for the response. Actually, the chart I was referring to (belonging to bulkbiz) had no annotations that I could see, and I didn't realize that you were monitoring the same chart. I'll go back and look at the comments on your chart, ...

bulkbiz, Referring to your chart in post #2765, it appears that there were two long breakouts prior to the one you had taken that would have ended up losers. Your chart doesn't show the other indicators, so I couldn't tell if they were not taken ...

Hello All, luSan tipped me off to this thread, and I am looking forward to learning the approach here. Any suggestions (short of reading all 500+ pages) to get started? I admit that I have fallen prey to attempting to trade short (5min) time frames ...
