Hi, Beerhunter! Quote: Originally Posted by beerhunter Nina, your yesterday's GBPUSD trade at 11:00CET (31 pips): how did you manage to exit at exactly low (1.7685) of the 30 min bar?????? What is you exit strategy? BTW, I like your frog - nice eyes What we are counting here is the potenciality of the system. As far as we see, the system gives an amazing percentage of winning entries. So we know that when we have a cross TF30 and an opening of next bar below/above EMA50 validated always by StepMa, all we get are pips in the majority of entries. So the question of "When to enter?" is already solved. But now we have the other big questions to be answered: "When to exit?". I've said that to play this FOREX game (metaphorically speaking) we need to have a nice account. For me, it should be above $50k. That amount will allow us to trade multiple lots. If I feel confident, cause I see speed and a clear cross, I go with 5 lots. I switch then to TF5 and look what's going on there. I have Shi-Cannel too and fibopivots. If I see StepMa crossing against my possie, I begin to square. Beerhunter, there is not an exit as clear as an entry methodology. And I think it is impossible to exit at the very lows and highs. Nina Hi, Ader1! Quote: Originally Posted by Ader1 I understand the CatFx50 system a lot better now. Just one other question, at least for now, where do you set your stop loss? That is, if you use one. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and method. The size of your account should tell you what to do. You should decide how much you want to risk in every single trade. Of course, a clear stop is when a cross validated by StepMa is made against our possie. Nina FX-Trader Actually What I do , I Know Previously before trading Major Support & Resistance Levels and have @ same time the daily pivots in chart to see the inner day movements . My Interest in such trading style is that : 1 - I do trust using 50 EMA as a smoothing device for the price movement. 2- The main drawback of the 50EMA is when price ranges - it will get many crosses -- This is the main advantage in Knowing the Direction using StepMA ... as it filtered Whipsaws with great accuracy. using Major S & R -- Daily Range -- for exits is the Best I found.. I will try to scale out as you said and open multiple contracts - and take profit in stages like moving stop today and taking profit as well. Thanks for response. FX_TRADER. 3D Rainbow chart is based on Alan Hull's Multiple Moving Average... Read his Active Investing pdf file to know how to use it... http://www.alanhull.com/ Short term group (traders): EMA 3,5,7,9,11,13 Long term group (investors): EMA 21,24,27,30,33,36 Add EMA 55 to validate the candle cross with this setup (to trade like Nina) and there you can use HMMA as the filter for entry and exit... or use any other filter you like (CCI, RSI, StepMA, Fisher, Ravi FX Fisher whatever...) but HMMA is more than enough to find the good entry and exit points after a considerable amount of screen time... Cheers, Hi! Again: We see price crossing up EMA50 from below. We wait till the 30 minutes bar finishes. Meanwhile, we look at StepMA_Stoch. We see yellow line crossing up blue one too. We wait till the 30 minutes bar finishes. The 30 minutes bar finishes and new bar begins. It opens above EMA50. Yellow line on StepMa_Stoch is above blue one. WE GO. WE BUY. StepMa_Stoch has validated the trade. The opposite for selling. Another situation: Bars are clossing and opening below EMA50 and yellow line on StepMa_Stoch is above blue one. What to do? We wait. We do not take any trade if EMA50 with price and StepMa_Stoch do not match. Let's imagine now that after a few bars forward yellow line on Step crosses down blue one. What to do? We could sell, of course. But, in those cases, I look at where price is in relation to EMA50. If it is near, I sell. If it is more than 20 pips away, I do not trade. When the crosses are not simultaneous there is asynchronism. Trades in those occurrences are more dangerous. Nina Hi, Viennatrader! You have an EMA cross. StepMA does not follow. You do not trade. You have a StepMA cross. EMA cross does not follow. You do not trade. You have an EMA cross. StepMA does not follow yet. EMA cross still on. StepMa crosses too at least. You GO!!!!. You have a StepMA cross. EMA cross does not follow yet. StepMA still on. EMA crosses too at least. You GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best signals are when the crosses are simultaneously. But you never know! When opening of new bar (signal bar) is more than 20 pips above/below EMA50, the trade could be riskier. Use common sense and do not trade as a robot. Nina Let me remind the following to you: A.- Cross of EMA50 and cross of StepMA_Stoch MUST match to take a trade. B.- We can have an opening bar after a cross -let's say, up- above EMA50 but, if yellow line is below blue one, we should not take this trade. C.- The best trades are when EMA50 and StepMA_Stoch cross together. D.- We need to wait for the opening of new bar after a cross. E.- When we have yellow line above blue one, the market TF30 is bullish and, when we have it below, the market is bearish. The same if we have price above or below EMA50. If they do not match, the market is "fool". F.- When opening of new bar with everything set is 20 pips above/below EMA50, the trade is riskier. G.- Make a lot of money. I said a thousand times too that I use FiboPivots, common sense (?), support/resistance lines and trends. Hi, Blooms! CatFX50 is a free system. It gives money. It really does. There are people that say it does not. It is not the Holy Grail. Of course it is not. But we, as traders, want to go fast and ask for a mechanical system, for a robot. I'm against that. I want to and I need to "feel" the market. Post 1121. I said market was in dangerous mode. Take care. Post 1123. I said pivot on USDCHF was at 1.3088. Take care. Post 1125. I said that eurusd and usdchf must do the opposite. As they were not at that time, I added I did not trade them. Post 1160. I said if you already had made pips, stand aside or go with a small position and add EURUSD should keep below 1.1893. I do not trade blindly. If there is a signal and I do not feel confident, I do not take it. We need to feel confident. We need to be disciplined. I wish you good luck. Nina Hi, Marbo! What a chart!!! I call it "the beauty". Isn't it? First signal: a right one, riskier, but a right one. We have at least a close below EMA50 not validated by Step. So, once it goes up and opens above EMA50 again validated by StepMA_Stoch, we go. Second signal: It is not a right one. It has not opened below EMA50 before going up again. I do not take these kind of "signals (?)". Nina Quote: Originally Posted by iGoR Hello, I have 3 alpari MT4.0 platforms running on 2 pc's.

One would expect that the crossings of this indicator would occure on the very same bars, but they don't. Is there a sollution to this problem. And when I place the Max bar count indicator with the same parameters of the stepmastoch indicator it shows again other crossings..?... Could someone help me. Please not with an answer "read the previous postings"...the topic became to long. I will try to give some help to you to with the indicator placed bellow. It shows also the time frames but in think in more nicer graphics. So please can someone help me... Hi! It is all becouse of data. Stepmastoch is counting step from past data that u have in your terminal. If u use stepmastoch histogram where u can set how many bars u want to calculate the results should be the same.If u instaled a few terminals on one PC then mabye some of them was mixed with another. Try to check that. I had sometime ago similiar problem. I installed alpari and north finance and alpari was crushed, but north finance cathed data from alpari servers..... no comment Try to check that. Hi! Same charts, different brokers. See the differences. Histo_StepMA_Stoch is an oscillator. Its bars move on real time, price moves them. You can see a bar breaking level 0,04 and, according to where price closes,that bar maybe ends below 0,04. Price moves, bar moves. But we need to look at chart. If we see, for instance an up cross, and we see opening of new bar is validated by Histo bar above 0,04, we buy. But, if you find these filters "annoying stuff", just turn them off. I have always stressed that we need to "feel" the market, that we can not trade blindly and so on. Yesterday we had a big shot. The day after those movements, price tends to consolidate, tends to go to EMA50. We should know that and we should know where are S/R. Today I did not trade at all. I was waiting for data, but pairs did not behaved like I'd liked to. Nina UPDATE Hi, mates! Ok, lets see if we can finish with all the settings. ShadowWZ has tweaked its original aNina. Now, we have "original" StepMA_Stoch with signals on it. Blue dot means we have a cross of StepMA_Stoch. Magenta Arrow means opens of bar is below EMA50 with StepMA_Stoch validating it. It is a sell. Green Arrow means open of bar is above EMA50 with StepMA_Stoch validating it. It is a buy. Therefore, Arrows appear if all conditions of CatFX50 are met. SETTINGS: (chart 1) Hist_StepMA_Stoch_KV1_Ex_02 should be set at 2000 bars with +0,04 and -0,04 on it. aNina should be set at 9000 bars. Instructions: We keep Hist_StepMA on chart with said settings. As you see on chart attached, it tends to give signals earlier. We can take them or we can not according to main CatFX50 rules and according at how we feel or at how we "see" the market. When Hist_StepMA and aNina give the same signal at the same time (bar), go. This signal is the strongest of all and you should make 15 pips at least. Usually, aNina signals are stronger than Hist_StepMA, but the better ones are those that are on the same side. You will see that aNina gives signals that are not validated by Hist_StepMA_Stoch. You must know that those signals are weak. No more than 20 pips with a lot of risk.(chart number 2) Procedure: Normally, a movement will be started by Hist_StepMA. Lets say it is a buy. Hist_StepMA bar in green. What is aNina doing? It has not given signal yet. Ok, here you should look at filters, just to see if we have strength or not. Lets say it has strength. Here you should decide to wait for or not to wait for aNina. Is aNina far of a cross? Is it near? You decide to wait. aNina crosses and gives signal. Where is EMA120? How many pips are the signal from EMA50. You know that above 20 is riskier. Everything is ok. Then, go. Another case: We have Hist_StepMA in red. StepMA is in sell mode too, but it crosses, blue dot, and then bar opens above EMA50, green arrow. This buy signal is extremely risky and dangerous. But it will give us a nice Level 2 sell when aNina crosses down again and bar opens below EMA50. Ok, it's enough. You will see by yourself what I'm saying. Nina Attached Images   I mean: we have a cross, lets say up) of EMA50 and new bar opens above EMA50 validated by Hist. We should look at where it opened. If there are more than 20 pips from opening to EMA50 this trade is riskier. Then we can decide three things: we take it; we wait for a retrace or we wait for aNina. If when aNina gives signal, we still are more than 20 pips from EMA50, we should know the trade keeps being riskier. As far away we are form EMA50, the worst. Questormon, what I'm trying to do is to avoid "weak or false signals at maximum. When price kisses EMA50 like your example, it means that, once broken, EMA50 has become a strong resistance. To be called level 2, we need price opening at least one bar above, in that case, EMA50 with Hist keeping always in red. When you see price keeps bouncing off EMA50 , you can short it, like today, but this is not CatFX50 system. On USDCHF we had today a good, a very good example of 1-2-3 pattern.
