  1. Did you ever notice how when price shoots off in a direction with enough force for you to clearly see larger candles over an extended time, that price likes to close that gap back up? Also, once it breaks through, it really likes to come back and give that area another kiss.

  2. I hate to say it but that is a pretty good book with some solid setups. I know a full time trader that sells and teaches a method close to the last one in the book. And with a little tweak, the MACD and OSMA method could be used pretty successfully on a 4hr chart (on any time frame really, but larger time frames give better results) giving lots of signals with good risk/rewards. Good share, thanks.
  3. You can't backtest the TMA with strategy tester if you choose a different timeframe. Strategy tester is almost useless you will find when testing a lot of indicators. In this case the higher timeframe TMA "knows" what position it will "eventually be in" so you don't see the constant repainting as you will do live.

     

    You will see what I mean eventually

     

    Hi Holo,

     

    This is the kind of thing I am trying to figure out. The thing is, I have screen recorded many days of charts and gone back over them and the trades still appear and work out. So this is why I am still working on this. What am I missing? If anything...

  4. Thanks Dannydon, but to be honest I simply can't help myself. And besides, I learn things the hard way because I don't like to be told what I can or can't do (not good when you have completed a few trades). If you could be specific on what was researched and why it was no good, then that might help me.

     

    For example, lets say I take the 5TMA and 15TMA on a 5min chart and also use the Stop and Reverse Indicator set with a multiplier of 2.0 and ATR 9. Every time the 5TMA closes past the outer band of the 15TMA, I wait for the stop and reverse to get me into the trade going back the other way and take profit once price hits the other side of the 15TMA (Stop would be 5 pips past the swing high/low). So when I test this, I get outrageous results and it looks almost too good to be true. So my question is, what is wrong with it? What is the backtest missing?

  5. ALRIGHTY THEN.... So being in Australia, it limits my times available to trade and I guess as such haven't seen any setups. SOOOOO I recorded my charts with the screen recorder posted here for about an hour or so when I thought the moves would take place and when looking at the screen recording watched 4 trades setup perfectly and win! So, the good news is that the setups do actually happen in live conditions and do seem to be a valid system to further explore.

     

    The next step really would be if we could get a dashboard to monitor the setups on multiple time frames and alert us once the conditions are met. Any takers? Or should I explore this by my lonesome....

  6. Well this is what I am trying to decide upon dannydon. I seem to be able to find signals when on strategy tester (could be 1 to 6 setups per day), however in live trading for about 6hrs last night and 3hrs tonight, I can't find an entry. This is reason for this thread, to decide if TMA is any good or full of sh@t once and for all.

    Now that I write that, EG is setting up perfectly on the 5/15 charts. Really good angle on the 15TMA so we will see how it pans out.

  7. Yeah, I wasn't going to bring up the "screen shot of trades at setup" topic, but, I personally never had any issues with taking a screen shot of my trades as they setup. Ctrl + PrtScr seems to take all of 1 second. That's why I like what I see here.. at this stage or until proven otherwise.

     

    there is a few setting up right now, GJ is looking best but we will see how it all lines up soon.

    ok so that trade was scratched as the 5min TMA was not pointing up once the entry candle had presented itself. As indicated by the pic, my entry would have been once price closed past the previous lower high.
