If you want to understand what we're talking about here (UMS) then read this

Yes!! By all means, hunt for an evening star.

That is why we have all these charts - to maximize the probability of finding one in any given day.
The multiple charts are also in all the 4 major currency pairs so that there is now a great chance of finding a pattern.
I use 44 charts.
On a good day I can get 4 patterns in an 8 hour period.
Pips on all of them!!
Remember................ no patterns - no trade - no pips - no money!!

The people doing long term trading with candlesticks can spend days and days before finding an evening star.
No money all that time!!

If yes, then i can't find the post where you linked each timeframe to the related KC or STARC
There isn't one.

A 5 minute KC or starc chart will do for each timeframe.

In addition, you can also change the 5 minute chart to a 10 minute chart when you look at 45-60 min timeframes.
But I have found that the 5 minute time frame is about the best.

It is different if you traded a daily chart.
Then I would recommend a 4 hour KC or starc chart.


Finally I need to clear up a misunderstanding with you and VulcanClassic.

The main chart has only the Bollinger bands on it - nothing else.

The 5 minute KC chart has Bollinger bands, Keltner channels, and 2 MACD's - the normal and the inverted.
The MACD's can be minimized by using the platform charting facilities.


The 5 minute starc chart has Bollinger bands, starc bands and, later, we will be including a specially modified Stochastic.

It is an advantage to have 2 separate 5 minute charts - one for the Keltner entries and one for finding the retraces with the starc bands.

Hope this clears up some problems.



Sorry if I put a downer on your indexing work - it is great!!

Very smart also is your hyperlink "this" !!
Now every reader can link back to your indexing post.

Still, you will have to do more index work - because there is more to come.
