TSF Mavin indicates an expectation for price to break downward. A fully qualified bar closed at the bottom of the last hour. I have placed a sell stop order at 148.20, take profit is 148.00 (price would have to reach appx. 147.94 to succeed). Stop ...

So, TSF Mavin still has us on the side while we watch t market swing low and high. I see the current bar is a big bullish outside bar. This is a strong indicator that price could be headed higher. Still TSF Mavin says the trend is not confirmed. It ...

TAD Mavin is not yet in agreement with the bearish price move on the GJ. So we sit on the sidelines. TSF very rarely catches the very start of a big move. But it does tend to find relatively safe places to enter. Right now I haveno reason to trust ...

I spent a couple of hours this weekend looking over what might happen if I were to use a TSF ribbon made up of periods 17-22. In this case we would use the TSF 17 the same way the current method uses the TSF 19. As is so often the case, the change ...

Having trouble attaching my chart mark-up. I'll get it posted as soon as the interface permits it.

11 January 2010. This was a really straight forward and well behaved trade. TSF Mavin method indicated to probability that the price consolidation would result in a bullish breakout. Qualifying trigger bar closed at 3:00 am GMT, and a buy stop order ...

TSF Mavin posted a fully qualified bar at the close of the 3 am GMT bar. This caused the posting of buy stop orders at 148.62 (high of the bar plus spread - which is 6 pips on IBFX demo server). The order subsequently filled during the 4:30 am GMT ...

TAD Mavin is very close to signaling. If the current bar closes up we should have a fully qualified signal. If price doesn't collapse, even if the current bar closes down, the following bar wold still likely signal if it closed up. In short we are ...

8 January 2010 (A day of infamy... hehe) Pretty straight forward. Market failed to proceed lower, and reversed to take us out. Hard as a losing day is, it is the losses that teach most and best. The winners tend to mostly confirm what we believe we ...

TSF Mavin

Alright, I ended the day with a 6% loss on the old demo account. That is a big improvment over where I was at one point. Had this not been a Friday I believe my loss would have been avoided. But all of that is beside the point from now on. I felt I ...

Maybe I shouldn't be diluting this thread with all of these side trading activities. Been a rough day. TSF Mavin lost today. No time to post the chart now, but I will over the weekend. I am trying to make back that loss, and am having more ...

Small buy closed for +10 pips.

TSF Mavin

There isn't time to post everything I am doing and considering here. I've got a couple of smaller positions open (buys). I'm trying to cash in on the support I see around the 148.22 area.

TSF Mavin

I'd put a trailing stop on the position (15 pips) and have been stopped out with a 6 pip gain. Looking for another opportunity.

TSF Mavin

... Scalp stopped out. New position on going short (sell stop). extended the take profit down to 148.28.

TSF Mavin

Well, not a good day so far. Just got stopped out on my 149.05 Buy order. If price gets back above 148.72 I might put on another Big buy to get back what I just lost before it gets back up to 149. My scalp I had opened before is still hanging on, ...

TSF Mavin

Entered a market buy at 148.79 to try to scalp 10 pips. Hoping the 148.72 area holds.

TSF Mavin

Buy stop order has filled and price is trying to move higher. I'm in at 149.05, with an objective of 149.22.

TSF Mavin

Success! My 10 pip scalp order just took profit. I have consequently reduced my take profit objectives on my buy and sell stop orders. I'm not looking to make a killing here. My goal is 2.6% gain (roughly) for the day. I started with a loss of 6.5%. ...
