I would [am] short it.
CSS H4 says EUR/ USD is 1/3
CSS D1 says EUR/ USD is 3/1

EUR is intraday stronger [retracing] but long term USD wins. Time to set pendings....
Gertje, what is the 1/3 and 3/1 reference here please. I am very weary of trading short when green is showing, could you explain a little more your theory. Thanks for all your posts.
The position in the CSS on the info-chart;
- 1st and 3th [now 4th] on the H4
- 3th and 1st on the D1

Indicating that the USD is still the stronger on the longer term, hence a short EURUSD.
I can't use the CSS on the charts, so no idea about the colour. Am having some DD right now, but since the info-chart tells me in "the future" the USD will win, I let it run.

Mmmm, nothing like a newsflash to prove you wrong.... :)

Seems like 'some-one' misunderstood the first translation? :lol:
What a dive!

Go USD, GO!!

Well that was exciting. ANOTHER 1000 pip day for me. Went from 2% DD to 6% Back to 1% plus pocketed 4% Profit. Dang. Going to bed. Night.

Gertje - I like your style - I see you don't use the CSS on the charts but I am wondering if you use the RSI on the charts?

Thank You

Hi guys, I've been around trading for a while, and want to get to know everything about this great system, so I've been reading all there is to read ans have set my charts... now the problem I've found is that my Empty4 starts slowing down real bad when I have multiple pairs opened with the 10.4 template and one info page, at this time I have 8 pairs opened and I thinks that's my limit... so the question is:
Could anyone, Bob, or some of you guys point me out to the 8 most traded pairs??, that way I'd only need to have this pairs opened...

Thanks a lot for your contributions, your big efforts in this thread and your reply.
Green pips to all.

Make sure you are using the one from page 1 post 1. That looks like the test version from 100 pages back.
OK - re-installed Empty4 and seems to have fixed the issue.

I'm using "#10.4 info page 5.13.13 v8.tpl" from page 1 "10.4 10.5 update 5.19.13.zip" - downloaded on 20 May. Is this the correct version?
The chart that cjthomson loaded a few messages back is how I would expect it to look.
Bob, what's best..... having the Info Page on chart H4 or D1? Thanks

Bob I made excel file according to what I understand when you open and close your orders. Can you please take a look if I correct or not?

Hi Bob, first time post just to echo those sentiments expressed by the fortunate few with whom you unselfishly have shared your extraordinary system with and say a huge thank you to both you and those equally unselfish people who helped you to create this system.

THANK YOU

Go into your Tools, options, charts and make the max bars back smaller. I cut mine back to 2000 and also my CSS to 100 and I have plenty of speed. I have a 1.8 MGh processor and 1 GB or Ram and can run 26 charts with the info page. Also delete from your market watch any currencies or metals you arent trading and you shouldnt be having any problems. Do give it time to load up the first day though.

Also un click saving deleted charts. This will keep your Empty4 running clean. If you know how to do it, go inside Empty4 and clean out the log folders every now and then. All these things fill up the folders and slow Empty4 down.

There is no 8 most traded pairs. We read our charts and go to where the action is and if you understand the 4H CSS reads that can change every couple of days.
