Hi Bob.. First of all thanks a lot for all your contributions ! I'm new to this forum but have gained lot of insights in to trading following your posts in FF.. Re the 10.6, I intend to trade it manually inorder to closely observe how it works.. Therefore can you pls be kind enough to clarify the entry / exit rules for a buy or sell trade ? I'm bit confused with with 10.6 SL Screen also being there.. Thanks in advance!! Cheers ! D |

Good questions. TP goal is the next blue line or near it would be better. If price moves from one blue line to the next you are looking to get 80+ pips of the move. You have to figure in spread and you have to figure in you wont get the exact entrance at the blue line. So 10-15 pips will be lost by those two factors. So that is the goal. The other side is using the MA as a moving TP SL line. These create the proper ratios of risk to reward. If price breaks a blue line it has a tendendcy most of the time to keep going. Sometimes it doesnt go all the way to the next blue line and sometimes it goes farther. The MA lines give you a chance to capture most of the move most of the time and also gives you a quick out if it is a fakeout and keeps going. I have posted 3 lines, 15, 30, and 60. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages. 15 is tight and can save your butt if price reverses on you. It also can take you out of a trade too early. 60 is based on the weekly trend and can keep you in a move all week or even more but you can also lose a lot of profit if price hits it. 30 is a compromise between the two. Price can go steep and the 15 works best with a steep move. Price can just angle up and the 30 works will with those moves. Then there is the meandering moving in one direction. Price is moving 10 or 20 pips every couple of hours and the 60 will keep you going or it is a good move all week. Hopefully time will tell how to best use them. In a sense it is as close to automatic EA I have gotten. Once you set your trade and set the SL EA you can just walk away and let the trade run. If you want a tighter MA you just move down to the 1H or 30M and let it run. I made it separate because you can use this TP exit system with any system. So I posted it separatly. Again I am testing something I havent seen used consistently in trading. Using 100 lines instead of the Grid lines provided by Empty4. Rememeber even if you have the grid lines off on the chart the numbers to the right represent the grid lines. This will be a completely new learning experience for all of us. |

Alan was kind enough to update the STO indi to only give signals when price is on the correct side of STO. So it will only give buy (crossing up over 20,40) above the 240 line and sells (crossing below 80, 60) below the 240 line. Far fewer signals but they should be the best ones. Let us test this one out. Thanks Alan. |

He also adjusted the weekly and daily pivots so they will not show any of the R/S lines. I know sometimes the black lines will come on and this will solve that problem. I am thinking of putting the 10.5 reads back on the 1H chart. Then we will have 10.3,10.4,10.5, and 10.6 all put on one template. Going to get everyone truly confused. |

Hi Bob, thanks for 10.6 I think I've a good chance of some TP this week. Audjpy went well. Now I'm picking on usdjpy. Thanks for those tips. I notice the MA method (template 10.6-10.3-10.4 30ma) on your 30 MA is simple method but all others are linear, is that a typo or is there a reason for it. Cheers Rob |

Probably a mistake. They should be the same so they will be consistant. I will look at my charts at home and see what happened. |

Just started off reading the 10.4/10.5 system last week. Already learned a lot and trying it this week on demo before going live with it. I have also installed the new 10.6 templates. At the moment I keep switching between als those templates and trying what suits me best. Thanks a lot Bob for all the very nice systems and work you put in there!! Really appreciate it! |

Just try to remember that the key is still the 240 line, This morning I played that it would break up on the aud/jpy and it didnt. I wasnt in and those that sold were very happy. It was just one of several trades I missed. however I hit some others and so far am up over 1% for the day. My NZD sells did very well for me so far today and handful of euro buys. So hang in there. 10.6 is not an official version but a test version so stay with what has proven to work. The key to that is testing using xxx.00 as trading points. With that I can synchronize every chart in the world on every broker. That is one line (Indie) the brokers cant mess with. So have fun trading, take it slow and easy and learn to trade. There are many successful traders here in this forum who are more than happy to help. |
