From what I have been watching on the charts over the past week, I think more important than slope of ALF is what TVI is doing on higher timeframes. I like the histogram and have it configured with different colors for positive and negative, ...

Histogram Color — Hello Lou, If you have time to take a look at this, there still seems to be a small problem with the coloring of TVI. The histogram bars that I highlighted were increasing and should thus have changed color, but didn't. ...

Lou, Have you tried other pairs than EUR/USD, in other words, have you picked the pair based on back-test performance and eliminated other pairs, or did you chose the pair for different reasons, or are you actually applying this to other pairs as ...

I like looking for breakouts from the last hour of New York trading, ideally in the direction of overall trend (confirmed on a daily chart), on the pairs that have liquidity during Asia: EUR/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD, NZD/USD. Things can really get ...

Trailed further to 1.4950 (highlighted)

Stop trailed — I trailed my stop to 1.4965 (see highlighted Gann dot on chart). If things go well, I should be able to add to the position when MACD turns red again. Jesper

Short GBPUSD, trade update — The EURUSD short of last week (post #49) is still alive but not doing too well. It dipped briefly into profit yesterday and is now again showing a loss of about 20 pips. Other trades I have open but which are not ...

Correction — Apologies. Coming back this morning I noticed that I had closed a different position on Friday night. The EURUSD trade presented here is still open, and it is currently about 60 pips in the red. I would have closed it had it been ...

NZDUSD stopped out — Yesterday's trade stopped out for 10 pips profit. H4 trend also showing signs of bullish reversal (again, no questions about the Stochastics, please).

Sold EURUSD — Bit risky with NFP coming up later today, but still believing in the fundamentals behind the trade (spell G-R-E-E-C-E). EURUSD in early Europe/pre-London fell back below yesterday's New York close. H4 gave a sell signal some six ...

While I was sleeping... — NZDUSD consolidated where I left it when I went to bed. The Gann resistance dots now allow me to trail my stop and start adding to the position. For now, I will leave it with 10 pips locked in; I won't be able to ...

Trade update — Not exactly by the book, but I am going to bed so I wanted to take the risk off while the trade is in profit -- I mentioned in the PDF that if I am away from the PC, I would either trail the stop or hedge the position, so that ...

NZDUSD sell opportunity — I have attached two charts for NZDUSD that demonstrate an opportunity to enter short. H4 trend was pointing down but retraced. A new Heikin-Ashi down arrow has formed on the candle close (04:00 GMT) and a fresh Gann ...

Not going anywhere — Alright, it is 1 a.m. where I am and I am going to bed. The trade is not going anywhere, USDJPY was mostly flat all day despite quite a bunch of news coming out. I won't be able to monitor it for a couple of hours, so I ...

Under water — The trade from post #29 is about 20 pips in the red, and normally I should have closed it manually upon the Gann switch on the H1 trend chart one bar back (see attached). For better or worse, I was away for lunch. The hard stop ...

Add-on chance? — The screenshot seems to be showing a chance to add to the position from post #29 just seven candles after entry: MACD turned blue for two candles but stayed below 0, then reverted to red indicating downward momentum is picking ...

Live trade — Just took a short on USDJPY H1 -> M5; screenshots are attached. I use a slightly different template for the trend chart from the one included in the PDF -- it has the Heikin-Ashi body hidden with only the arrows displaying, and ...
