The author also has a not-very-active blog here:

The last entry was in June 2011, and the one before that was back in Nov. 2010. His first entry started back in July 2009. I did not bother reading his entire blog, but it can give you an idea of changes in his trading style over the last few years.

He also has a youTube channel here:

I already viewed his youTube video for the 100% method, kind of a useless video, not informative or useful at all. Hope his trading method is better than his videos.

I have studied the Head Fake Filter extensively and gone back and found examples on historical charts and played "What if I had entered". As much as I want it to work I find many more examples of failure than success. These tests were done on one hour charts and i trade off of 15 minute charts where I found it to be a total disaster. Has anyone found a way to eliminate the numerous false entries or am I possibly doing something wrong?

I do not see it in the latest version of the videos. But I remember in one of Tom S's much earlier videos on teaching the head-fake, he mentioned that it will work much better if it is at or near significant levels such as his trend lines. I interpret significant levels as any potential support or resistance areas, such as trend-lines, or daily-pivots, or fibo lines, or major psychological levels (like double zeros), or outside lines of bollinger bands, etc.

In other words, I think even Tom S admitted that it should be working in conjunction with likely support/resistance areas. Otherwise, if we take "every" head-fake on the chart, I think we will get false signals a lot.

Does anyone know anything about this one?

They claim this is a stream-lined version (read: more-user-friendly, or cheaper?) of the far more expensive and difficult-to-use SST.

Edit: yes, I know another thread already has the older and fuller version shared. But the old one appeared difficult to get right. So hoping this "simple" version is easier and/or more profitable.

Seems like a good idea for an indicator and for trading.

For resolving not having enough trades, one possible suggestion is willing to trade even not all timframes align, I may be willing to ignore the larger timeframes like weekly or even daily. For example, if I see M1, M5, M15, M30, H1 all align, but D1 and W1 do not, I may still be willing to go in for a smaller target profit trade, assuming the short term trajectory will hold on a while longer, at least long enough for may be a scalp of 10 to 15 pips.

I have not yet had time to try the indi that soundfx has so awesomely coded for us, but may be a possible suggestion for future update is an ability tell the indi to sound alarm based on alignment of only the specific timeframes one want to align. Maybe in the data input panel, can either check or uncheck a sub-set of the different timeframes. I know nothing about coding indis, so have no idea how difficult or how easy this suggestion is. So just ignore me if this idea is not useful or not doable.

BTW, juicyt and soundfx, I have read something similar to what I think you are trying to do, let me try to find that ebook again in my archive hard drive, I will upload and pm it to you two, perhaps it may be helpful.

There is a page over at c@shmaster blog dedicated to promoting this, with some recent screen shots of some trades, and a video for q&f. I have not viewed the video. But can't see any obvious patterns from just viewing the screen shots alone yet. Some more experienced or smarter traders on II here may be able to decipher his method?

I like Hector FX Devil but the second link you offer cannot be opened with any software! I have to go for the first link.

Hermes

Hi Hermes, sorry the link did not work for you. I just tried again, from download to opening the pdf. It seems to work on my end. Not sure why it failed on you. But glad you could at least go through the first link.

Does anyone know why my 2nd link works on my end, but not for others? I was hoping to save you time if you do not wish to give out your email address out to receive the ebook.

Although this is not an indi, but I just happened to see this today, and it is free, a small ebook on trading MACD divergence and convergence, for anyone who is new at this, or not sure of how to trade convergence/divergence. Enjoy:

Hect0r DeVi11e of the rather decent Hect0r Trading Course fame sent out an email with a link to download a handy little free ebook on trading MACD convergence and divergence.

The original link I received was this:

http://www.wizardtrader.com/totally_free_forex_indicator_strategy.html

which requires you to type in your email address to receive further information.

I just took a quick read through, nice introductory read for trading divergence, but old news for many of the experienced divergence traders here on II. Still, it could be a good refresher read even for those old timers among you. Enjoy.

Hi Duke,

 

Which is the best time frame to use?

 

Thanks.

Hi indoshare. Valid divergence should work on any timframe that you normally trade in. The particular indi I shared in the earlier post I was using on M30 and M15, but only because that was the timeframe I was trading in at that time. But I no longer use this indi, as now I prefer to use my eyeballs and line-draw tools.

Recently found this in my email from Rit@ L@sker, our female version of Uncle K@rl Dittm@n. (Although to be honest, her stuff seems a tiny bit better than those from our fav. uncle, not to mention she is much better looking too).

I have not tried this myself, as it is not my cup of tea. But took a very casual and very quick glance on the chart for last few days, if you stick with only London, and perhaps part of New York, session, it does seems to give some positive trades.

Since it is free, enjoy. If it does not float your boat, you can always delete it from your chart later.

To moderator: I did a search and cannot find this yet on II. But if someone else has already shared this, I hate duplicate thread myself, so please delete this thread in that case, thanks.

Here is one from my archive folder, this is a OSMA indicator with regular divergence, as well as hidden divergence, automatically drawn for you in both the main price window above and in the lower indicator window below. I have forgotten where I initially got this one from.

I used to have a bunch of similar but different divergence indicators, but I have found the best divergence indicator is still our Mark One eye balls, and mentally drawn trend lines. So I had long since trashed many of my old and unused indicators. Unfortunately, the above is the only one I still have left in my archive folder. Hope it is useful to you.

I hope others will have even better indicators to share.

But my humble suggestion is still to train your own eyes to see the divergence, they tend to be more accurate than auto-drawn indicators. An easy exercise I used to do is simply slap your fav. oscillator on your chart (I use either standard settings for MACD or RSI), and simply on any currency chart, zoom in and zoom out, and try different timeframes. Focus first on the peaks or valleys on the oscillator (for example, the MACD). Once you see 2 consecutive peaks on the oscillator going flat or down (or alternatively 2 consecutive valleys on the oscillator going flat or up), then put two mental (or actual lines, up to you) vertical lines at those 2 peaks (or valleys), follow with your eyes up those vertical lines to the price chart, if those 2 lines correspond to higher highs in an uptrend, (or lower lows in a downtrend), then you have yourself regular divergence.

After doing this a few times, it can become almost second nature to spot divergence, just my humble suggestion.

Seems interesting, especially the claimed results for the 3 months period on sales page.

But can't find any substantial reviews or feedback (good or bad) on google search, except for some stuff using the same product name back in 2007.

For example, here are some YouTube videos describing a forex system with the same name:

Anyone seen this older version before? Not sure if it is the grandfather of the current system, or totally unrelated.
