Hi Guys just a little bit of give back.

INTRODUCTION:

Many thanks to Steve Hopwood and Milanese for creating this thread for us and allowing me to continue my work learned over the years from my mentor and role model - Nanningbob. A saying from Bob that always sticks in my mind "Trade to trade another day" :) .

UPDATE 18/10/2021
I have reduced the number of pairs to trade with tweaks to my system. My focus has been on exits with various combinations tested. I have updated the indicators, set files, templates, and Expert files needed below (Step 3 to Step 5).
UPDATE 21/07/2020 My chart template.
You need the following indicators from my list of indicators below. (DWMpivots, Wyatt's pivots, stochastics color mtf, solar winds Joy, Hgi_v16.09, #Mtf Rsi, step Ehlers optimal tracking filter, sixths sq mod1.2, xSupertrend histogram, 10.6 SSG 100.50)
This is the chart template I tweak my settings from for TDesk.
Wave Template 46.tpl
UPDATE 21/04/2020
I have set up a step by step guide to follow with my system.

Step 1:
Ensure you have Thomas's latest TDesk version 7.41 downloaded. Go to http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 106&t=5522 on page 1 first post and download all the attachments and ensure you put them in all the correct folders experts, include and script folders.
Once you have done that you can open TDesk version 7.41 in a blank XAUUSD chart and load my preset:
TDesk Master - v 7.41.set
Step 2:
Go to http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 106&t=5654 and download all the UBD files from post 2 and ensure you put them in all the correct folders on our system, indicators, and library folders.
Go to http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 106&t=5654 and download all the USD files from post 3 and ensure you put them in all the correct folders on our system, indicators, and library folders. At the bottom of post 3 read the section about HGI library and ensure you download from the HGI thread the HGI Library hgi_lib.ex4

Step 3:

Download the following indicators and place in your indicator file:
OBV2.01_mtf+alerts.mq4
Solar Winds joy.mq4
Stochastic color mtf med.mq4
xSuperTrend histogram.mq4
SlopyBuffers.mq4
Download the following expert and place it in your expert file:
Sharky.mq4
Sharky.ex4
Step 4:

Open another blank XAUUSD chart and open the Sharky Ea from your experts' folder. You are ready to load my Sharky set.
Sharky V1q.set
On the same chart open your indicator "TDesk Universal Buffers Drone". Once you have done that you are ready to upload my set file:

Repeat as above and load the following presets on the same chart:
UBD-xSuperTrend histogram.set
UBD-OBV.set
UBD-Stoch col Med.set
UBD-SolarWinds.set
UBD-SS.set
Step 5:

Open another blank XAUUSD chart and open your indicator "TDesk Universal Signals Drone". Once you have done that you are ready to upload my set file: Take note: Hgi reads off the library file and not the HGI indicator for a lighter Cpu footprint.
USD-HGI.set
For those of you that have been around long enough will know that if you have downloaded all the indicators and expert above you simply have to download my templates and it will pick up all the manual procedures described above, so for the more experienced you can simply download the attached templates. If you cannot get it right you will have to follow my above steps, unfortunately:
TDesk v 7.41e - 23072021.tpl
UBD 1e -23072021.tpl
UBD 2e -23072021.tpl
Lastly, ensure that you have history downloaded for all your charts on different time frames else your system will not work properly.viewtopic.php?f=47&t=6103
A screen shot of what your TDesk should look like:

Screen shots of your Desky and UBD and USD templates:

This is all you need for my system and where we are at, nothing else. Do your own due diligence and test properly before you ever contemplate going live.

Cheers
Leon

I have tried this method now for the past year in my manual trading and it is yielding positive results.

I have attached a template and all the indicators that I am currently using. It is a mix of all the things I have learnt from Nanningbob plus a few spices of my own. This is very much using 10.9 and hgi and stochs together.

Take note, you will have to use my template and the indicators attached if you do not have them allready to see the same picture as me.
Thank you very much Leon.

Thanks, Leon. Ha new week, something new to play with! This is great, and also that you are finding success with it!

I know your gonna post more info but just clarifying in my head...

Are you running 1 buy/sell per crossover? or keep adding as per new HGI signals?
I know it is probably signal, but do you open on signal, or candle close (if signal still exists)?
So 4hr and 1hr stochs have to agree before an entry?
Do you use opp. crossover, yellow wavy, or both for exit conditions?
How mechanical do you feel this is? ie do you use your discretion at any stage?
Are you only trading the 1hr chart? What session are you trading then?

Just to re-frame your explanation to make sure I understand it... if the 4hr and 1hr stochs agree, then wait for a directionally agreeing HGI Trend signal to buy/sell. Does that sound right so far?

Can't wait to give it a go!

:) LW

So here goes:










The methodology is very simple. If the stochs cross over you enter on and Hgi trend signal on the hourly time frame in the same direction. If you get an Hgi trend signal in the opposite direction of stochs it is not valid as per my attached chart. Always look at the 4 hour stochs crossover timeframe to confirm your hourly time frame.

I will post examples as I go along.

Please ask if not clear,

Cheers
Leon
Hi Leon,

Thanks for sharing your method of trading HGI. I had a look at the stoch7 setting as per your chart and it would seem the stoch7 time frame is 1440 ?

Thanks again.
