It looks like a lot of people using HGI use it for confirmation. The trouble I personally find with HGI is that I don't know the "Science" behind it and therefore I'm reluctant to take some trades just using HGI alone. So I too look at other timeframes and indicators. |

I'm demo-ing HGI on a D1 chart, and love it. Started the 20th of January and just want to show an example of what can happen..... 3 trades, entered on a RAD arrow. SL=100 and now wait for the yellow waves to arrive.... ![]() |

If I may ask Gertje, which do you prefer, the 4H or the daily? I suppose the daily would be the least stress? I am also assuming that there would less "false" signals due to market uncertainty with the daily time frame? Your input and opinion is highly valued. Baie dankie Hannes |

Hi Hannes, To be honest, I got stopped out a lot on the H4, due to me not paying [enough] attention and that got me looking into D1 signals. I still get stopped out some on the D1, but there's a lot less hassle, and till now no disappearing signals. What one needs to pay attention to is the fact that just after rollover, arrows and waves print on yesterdays candle. I take these trades immediately. At the moment I can't decide what to do as I have 2 demo's running. One demo uses the SL=100 and then wait for yellow waves, the other uses SL=100, BE+50@100, JS=50 like Pipmasher. The first gives crazy returns floating, the second is chugging along. Nearly all signals go into profit eventually, so one might consider an emergency SL, or even a balance-based max-DD closure a.k.a. shirt protection in MPTM. |

Thanks for the reply Gertje...If you say that you wait for the roll overs, I am assuming that means the end of the daily candle...my problem is that that is around 1 or 2 am local time...I suppose I can get in at around 5 am local time, would you think that I would miss out on a lot of the action during those 3 hrs (basically the Asian session)... Also, forgive me if you have mentioned it before and I have missed it, but how many pairs are you taking signals on? Cheers Hannes |

You don't miss much in my opinion, you might even be able to enter at a better spot... If you keep HGI opened, you can tell where on the bar the signal showed and decide if/ where you want to enter. My rollover is at 23h00 local time, so just before going to bed. I trade all crosses minus EURGBP and EURCHF and don't enter on the CHF crosses at the moment. I have no idea how many candles HGI needs to get rid of the huge spike from BlackSwanDay so I just let it pass. |

Cheers Hannes[/quote] Aren't you in South Africa Hannes? For us rollover is currently at midnight, or 11pm in winter. |
