10.7 CSS

Yes I have been wondering about what to possibly place on any open chart to get additional trades on. HGI is a candidate. As I am currently watching daily charts, once trades are open, I was thinking about the MMA from Shelly's thread as I am having good success with that method live. For now I just was looking to see if weekly crosses and such would be a good way to get in on long term trades. Maybe I just need to use CSS as confirmation of what I see on the weekly using Shelly's method. Otherwise I am doing the same thing twice.

As far as trading extremes, I agree, I have sold EURUSD at the moment as they are both at or near 1/-1. I don't agree that if we see USD turn down and EUR turn up I should start looking to buy EUR. I think I would wait until a cross of the two...right?

Indeed, but I would start trailing eurusd stops, because you might see a correction unfold, which would eat most of your trending gains.

I use manual trading, and watch daily and weekly only, CSS is a very good filter, but I also look at fundamental information and am an avid chart reader, nothing automated, just price action and market profile.
I think the HGI rad signals are the best for trend following, and filtering HGI signals in the daily using CSS is probably a very good idea, but I don't have that much experience with it.

Here's some of the stuff that I do:

Using CSS as a filter, plus fundamental analysis and other manual trading techniques I learnt from Tim West (an analyst from that site), I'm at something like 78% hits for March.
Took a long time to develop the methods I use, and getting comfortable with them, but it's definitely worth it.

EDIT: Ok, uploading images...

Hi All,

I see that there is a version of 10.7 CSS called "10.7 CSS.v3.5c_withAlertsCross_ withoutCHF" that doesn't include CHF pairs. Can anyone explain why should we want to exclude CHF pairs from the calculations? Thanks.

this is a version I made when the SNB did use the "fixing", and CHF did move same way like EUR..

Hi all, and first of all thanks for this very good works

i'm a little bit confused with all this versions of CSS.

Now i'm using "10.7 CSS.v3.5_withAlertsCross_ withoutCHF"

this is the last update? Now it makes sense to exclude CHF?

thanks you so much

p.s. ciao Tommaso

Vincenzo
