I have been trading the intra day system with no success either. I just don't like the AO. It obviosly works great in a trending market but when it hits range bound it gives fake outs like crazy. I prefer to use MACD but then it is the same system that James uses (45-a-day). There doesn't seem to be too many people on ForexClarity using it either so I am ready to give up on it because I am having way better success with James 45-a-day system with some of my own modifications . I do however really like her 4 hour system on the GBP/JPY chart. I like how she uses the daily with the 4 MA's and our own S/R lines to find turning points. Just the other day the price did an instant turnaround at the 200SMA then tried to pass it again and formed a nice bullish engulping pattern in which I rode it up for about 150 pips. I think I will stick to her 4 hour system and use a few other systems that I like for intraday if I trade intra day at all. I'm still searching for the type of trading I like best and I am really starting to like swing trading because the trade is open 1-5 days, much larger gains, less chart watching which is what has been killing me, plus I have been having better success.

I can try to answer your question if I can. What have you been trying to find out?

Do you trade the intra day system too? I'm having trouble trading it, and I ask questions over in ForexClarity but noone ever really answers in there. I am waiting for Nick to give me access to the private forums. But if you are using the intra-day, do you mind if I ask you some questions? Thanks.
