I would say the best times to trade are when the spread is at its lowest, so the usual suspects - When there are 2 or more exchanges - so between the london and US sessions. However, there is no real reason why this cannot be used at ANY time

OK I agree there will be a lot less trades, however, if the extra my trades could pick up are not worth the hassle then No probs. So Could you clarify on this chart, where exactly the entry exit points would be. I have 3 ema 8/55/65 sma I have kept ...

The Story so Far — OK this is where the thread has evolved to so far !!!

Keep it Simple Stupid (KISS) Method

I would say that yes the MA is confirmation, but I would suggest that the whole of the information is used to determine the trade. Using the "bounce" of the bollinger band in itself isn't good enough, similarly the 3/8 cross isn't good enough But ...

Why Bollinger Band would be included — The Bollinger band is included, as I said, if a "bounce" has already occured, then there is already some momentum for the move!

Keep it Simple Stupid (KISS) Method

Now theres a thing — Just noticed (why didn't I think of this before!!!) The bollinger band on MT4, also automatically incorporates the 20sma!!! 22 could indeed work better, but if the bollinger band is included ANYWAY, one less indicator for ...

Just to add further confusion to you!! — TD If you think just using 3/20 and Bollinger bounce would be frustratingly simple as entry points - well 3/20 was used as further confirmation!!! 3/8 is the initial cross, and 3/20 was used as to ...

Keep it Simple Stupid (KISS) Method

"Obvious" Trades — Apologies just got your email, and now I shall try and answer your question. The answer - is Yes - to both!!! Please let me explain. There are times when yes just one large candle will be indicitave of a trade, and ...

Keep it Simple Stupid (KISS) Method

TBH I was going to go with your method monday AM anyway!! I cannot fault your logic as it looks what I would call a safer pair of hands (I fully appreciate mine is more simplistic - but hey look what thread I'm putting this on!!!) would be cool if ...

Keep it Simple Stupid (KISS) Method

Worst Case Scenario — OK, These seems not just choppy but gale force!!! I've tried to manually pick out all the entries or exits manually from the above entry exit conditions. (So bear with me if I missed any!) To be honest I cannot see that ...

Keep it Simple Stupid (KISS) Method

Are we starting to move away from KISS??? — I've added a screenshot that has some of my ideas of conditions I'm looking for. 1) Bounce off the Bollinger Band 2) 3/20 cross then the exit conditions can be either: 1) 3/8 cross OR 2) Bollinger ...

Interesting — This is starting to look more and more like the Ichimoku Cloud indicator!!!!!!!

Hi TD, Just a quick question - I have just looked back on the charts with the template you posted - when did the 6sma change to the 8sma? That was why I have been stating 3/6 cross? Could you upload your most recent template (with any ...

Keep it Simple Stupid (KISS) Method

No probs WinningFX, I presume these people decided I hadn't thought about that BEFORE I posted this article. I myself mentioned that in my other post KISS (KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID) method. Still if it helps one more person to become more profitable in ...

Strong bullish pattern - "the Camel's Head!" (KISS)

Just a side issue — TD I am convinced following the crosses works! Got yet another message from my mate yesterday I shall quote what he said.. up £1615 no lost once yet!!!!! Not bad for a first day ever of demo trading. OK he was using 2 Lot ...

Just a follow-up to the earlier potential trade - this is how it played out!! It always helps if you see a pattern occuring that confirms the buy signal!!! So the cross over between 1830 and 1845 had additional confirmation

Keep it Simple Stupid (KISS) Method

That's why I don't just rely on the crossovers!!! The initial thread was that you don't need indicators! It has evolved into using a few indicators. Certainly for me anymore indicators, will defeat the whole purpose of the thread. If it is possible ...
