Hi
First post here thanks bob for an excellent trading manual I have read it a few times now. On my platform and using the dashboard I have noticed CADJPY AO bar changing so may indicate a setup, do we wait until this bar is closed for confirmation or do we just enter when its changed colour?

thanks

The next BOJ Governor was trying to talk down the yen this morning

http://www.forexfactory.com/news.php?do=news&id=413538.

Foundamentals will trunce the indicators ??

I suppose if the yen weakens from here, those pending orders for GBPJPY and CADJPY shorts will not be triggered.

I am taking a punt with longs on GBPJPY and CADJPY (M15 to D1 charts all up).

Hi
Somewhere further back in this momentous thread Bob says this
You are not waiting for the AO to change colors to enter. You have set pending trades while price is going in the wrong direction or is ranging. When price breaks back into the trend it will trigger those trades and also make the AO change color. Your setting of the pending trades had nothing to do with the color of the AO but the RSI 2 or STO 5 being flattened and whether you are above or below the 240 line. Those are the two key reads back into the trend
I hope that helps :)

Isn't it a little early for Scotch? Oh, my bad, you're in Aussie time zone. It's 7:00AM here in Texas.

Nevermind :-)

NB - my issue with this one is the strong S/R line around 1.03059 and for me therre is no RSI signal yet. I may play a bounce off the weekly pivot for a push up through S/R later in the day/week.
RSI is showing that there is very little sell sentiment. Cad is weak USD is strong. If this keeps up it will break that S/R position. When the Euro currencies go weak that leaves either the USD JPY as the strong pairs or the commodity currencies aud, nzd, cad and they are weak or in the middle.

Bob,

Is there any reason you are using v1 of the template (RSI) for AUDCAD and v2 for the other charts you posted...?

Depends on which computer I am using. I have one setup at school and the other at home.

If it breaks through the 240 would you sell it?

It must break through and then retrace to a signal to enter. Otherwise it is just a tease.

Sorry for my english. Just passing by to send a big thanks to Bob and Steve for this great system.

10.4 seems great but i miss some points of 5.0 philosophy. Trend following is no doubt more profitable than counter trending but i wonder if there is no way to use an indicator similar to old good 10.0 Sixths (in a daily TF) as a warning of exhaustion. ( i added in bob´s template just for daily)

10.4 seems act as if a trend is going on for ever, and 80% of times that is the case. Anyway sometimes is scary to bet in a continuation when price is too far away from 240 MA.

I´m having a great time reading this forum. Thanks again.
