The Cowabunga System

[stusontheforexnoob]

hi all.

Can someone clear something up for me please.

When someone says something like "looking at the 4h chart" I can select the 4 hour tab in my charting software but then I can also zoom in or out using + - buttons.

The reason I ask is that if I select the 4h chart and all data I need to zoom in a bit to see the trend over a slightly shorter timeframe or it shows me months worth.

The 4H bit means that, that is the "period" of data sampling right?

So, how long should the timeframe really be on the time axis of the chart?


For the Cowabunga (or and system really) should I let it show me a week for the main trend or just a few hours.

when you zoom with buttons are you effectively changing the timeframe and my software is just not displaying it quite right or have I not understood a dimension to the charts ?


(to illustrate why I ask, looking at GBPUSD. since the 14th there is a trend up suggesting only long trades, but zooming in a bit more to only see the last 3/4 days, its currently a down trend. I got yesterdays signal the same as the big man (pats self on back), a long trade, suggesting a wider timeframe.)


Thanks

I got 21 pips on cowabunga today too.

could have tken 34 or so I think but I opted out when I figure the candle had pushed through the previous resistance I saw.


Here is what I saw.

11:00 GMT MACD crossover, stochastics was climbing, RSI was above 50, ( in slight dip tho)

Opened at 1.9645 closed at 1.9666 for $210

2nd go with cowabunga and that makes 50% winning traded, bigpip didn't win on yesterday's either tho so I feel ok about that.

I unzipped the files to C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts\indicators and then restarted MT4. Then from
tools ->options->Expert Advisors tab I make sure it is selected. I then restart MT4. Then what? I aint c nuttin.

Hi all,
I set up MT4 and the Cowabonga indicators and alerts this weekend and it had indicated all the previous signals but there was no signal for todays, April 9, event. Anyone else have that trouble?

Thanks,
Peter

hi,



sorry to sound newbie (which i am) but how to you implement that downloadable system on the MT4 ? thanks
the one that ybop01 offered on the first page of this thread

Copy the files to:
C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts\indicators

Then open MT4 and open a chart for GBPUSD M15. Open the Navigator and go to custom indicators. Right click on Cowabonga and click on add to chart. That should do it.
