The only thing I want to add to everything I already said: this Dashboard we're talking about - it is NOT an EA that would trade for you! I don't have the slightest desire to create a new indicator or a new EA, I want to create a Dashboard that would alert the trader: here is a possible good setup, look at this currency, or at that currency!

And after the trader received the warning he would evaluate the setup according to the system's rules and if he likes what he sees he would enter according to the system's rules.

When I trade 1-2 currencies I watch for the setups myself, but it is impossible with 8-10 currencies.

So this Dashboard is a warning/alert/multiple currencies tool.

That's priceless! :lol: :lol: :lol:
And it's not uncommon! Ask a star baseball pitcher "HOW" he pitches 90mph strikes, or a top golfer "HOW" he shoots such low scores, and he can't tell you. He just "DOES" it, based on his his natural abilities and his thousands of hours of practice. Trading is no different.

But it sounds like you've done a great job of teaching your approach over at FF! I'll have to drop over there and take a look. Thanks!

You are welcome!

And thank YOU!

Sure, take a look, it's worth your while, I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

I see you had a run-in with Steve's favorite over there. (Have you seen the Official SHF Acronym for him? "TIT," The Idiot Twee. :lol:)

Pity Twee and the Trolls do so much damage there, but it's our win. You (and anyone else) are welcome here as long as you are honest and civil, more so if you contribute. We mods do not tolerate trolls.

I think Steve is absolutely right! :D

Before I received Twee's famous "chill out or fade away" email, I thought he was just an imbecile, but now I'm sure he is an idiot! :lol:

Hi Favorite,
very interesting scalping system you got there.
I will definitely keep my eye on this one.
Cheers mate.

Thank you, firesword!

You're right, and the beauty of this system is: you scalp, but when you see a good trend you can stay in the trade much longer, TMAs show you "how" and "when".

For example today I had 4 smaller trades and a big one (appr. 40 pips in just one trade).

The problem is: it is possible that when I was working with the "AVERAGE" EurJpy setups for 10-15 pips, some another currency had EXCELLENT setups for 30-50+ pips. So this system really needs a Dashboard...

I agree Fav,
a dashboard would make it so much easier.

I noticed you haven't got Babon Slope on your chart.
Have you abandoned it as an indicator?

Well, so far I haven't received any PMs, nobody wants to code it.

We have three Babon setups we can trade:
1). Classic Babon (with Babon Slope). I explain this setup in my Summary's Article 14.
2). Naked pattern trading (for this one we need only TMA M1 and Ichimoku). It's Summary's Article 16
3). Counter-trend. It's Summary's Article 17.

I don't trade counter-trend (some of the guys made it their priority and make 40+ pips per day just counter-trending).

I trade only Classic Babon and naked pattern trading. When I trade Classic Babon, I follow all the Classic Babon's rules and have Babon Slope on my charts. But when I trade naked patterns, I follow the naked patterns' rules and I need only TMA M1 and Ichimoku, and today I was trading only naked patterns, that's why I showed only those charts.

I haven't abandoned Classic Babon, it is a very good method, but I explained in FF thread that naked pattern trading is even better and more profitable than Classic Babon.

Give it some time Fav, I'm sure someone will do it for you once they see the value of your system.

As for naked trading, I think I'll have to go back to FF and read your stuff from "cover to cover" ;)

Best of luck mate.
