Hey Wiggy

I guess the issue is when we get the "signal" to go in. And what was in Bob's original system.

It's complicated. For some reason the Gbp is looking quite strong right now. The only reason the GbpCad looks like a short is that the Cad is much stronger (besides all of the other 10.4 reasons).

But I don't think we are there on the GbpNzd given how weak the Nzd is.

That's my 2 cents and I am signing off for the evening.

All the best

I wish I could post an image but my software is screwed up right now.

The point is that I think the GbpCad is where you want to focus for a short right now. The RSI(2) is coming down and the AO bar has flipped to red. And all of the other trend information is negative.

There are some other issues to think about, but from a 10.4 perspective this is a total short in a my view.

Of course I may be wrong.

But I wanted to share my views.

cmeade2,

I agree GBPCAD is going short however the 10.4 drew out attention to this trade setting up over 24 hours ago....I have taken it short, but it really didn't meet Bob's 10.4 trade set-up rules 100%, so this is a discretionary trade on my part, so if it fails I'll blame myself for not following the entry rules religiously...;-)

In relation to the GBPNZD, this appear to be to be the perfect 10.4 setup for a short, no question....I have been a bit more conservative and placed sell orders at the mid pivot, however a more aggressive trader may already be in the trad at Weekly Res 1....

You maybe right about the GBP reversing, however 10.4 is showing a short and i don't see a lot of evidence apart from the fact that the GBP has been down trending for a while now, so has to revers sooner rather than later.....I have not traded 10.4 on other pairs where i see other evidence of a change of direction, the JPY pairs as a recent example.....These were showing a number of long signal but continued to make lower low and highs back towards the 240MA and then eventually through it....And now we are looking shorts for JPY....

Regards
Wiggy

PS, I enjoy your comments...;-)

I found the entire debate very useful and learned something about the 10.4 system along the way.

In 2012 the best hedge fund manager earned his clients 30%. Do you think you can beat him this year?? Are your goals for Forex realistic or just a pipe dream?

Interesting debate - however I agree with Steve, some confusion regarding knowledge around which part of the system.

My 2cents - no system is infallible. Simple rules for me are
1. Buy above 240, sell below 240
2. RIS flattens - set pendings in direction
3. AO can be above or below as this is indicative of strength of a movement (check charts going back)
4. If trade is triggered, we are looking at AO to change colour to confirm our position i.e on a sell (green to red) but this is not a given.
5. If in a sell, AO signals exit when it reverses its colour i.e. red to green and you make a decision
6. Normal BE applies on second trade etc - I am with Steve on this and add a few pips to the BE
7.

As a further note I have been trading 10.4 on Global Prime and it has made a world of difference i.e. no lost trades due to spread restrictions. Compared to Alpari it has been a revelation. Some differences in the signals from the indis as well.

Thanks to Bob - the strategy (not system) is simple, clear and wonderfully profitable at this time. Look to take it live in a week or so.

Why did you put your entry so far away from the WR1. I entered short at 8292. Is that too soon?? Currently its hovering around b/e for me. I assume you've not triggered yet?

Nicely put--the system is simple and sweet.

Pending shorts ONLY.

STO5 topped, under 240ma.

Also PA failed again at this level(my own rules).

You will see my 1st pending is well away from the PA to give the STO5 and AO room to turn down(about 120 pips).

If it keeps moving up, then no harm done.

cheers....
All indicators are in align with v10.4

Still patiently waiting for GBPNZD to trigger pendings.

If the news tonight goes in favor of the bulls, then no harm is done.

cheers....

On the money rebyte. I am awaiting a better entry but will sell this. You wide pending strat is a good one as long as they don't get tagged by spikey news.

That resistance line may hold, but we might take stops above it before turning.
