I have only gone long on the GBP/JPY, as I am a little under capitalised after some bad trading choices, but this system looks very good. I am looking forward to giving it a good test!

...and initial profit lock-ins around the upper bollies. Marvellous.

I kept my stop quite tight as a precaution while I get used to the system. Got stopped out but made +55 pips so not a bad start.

Slow stochs....set at: 18, 3 ,3.
CCI set at: 25.
Bollinger bands set at: standard, 14, 2.0.

OK.

Set lines up on your slow Stochs, in this case you want them set at 75 and 25....this is slightly different to the 80-20 set up from before but there is a reason for this.....it basically is more effective for a cross range of timeframes.

Now add your EMA lines, these are still 1 and 5 EMAs like before.

So your chart should look something like this:
Hello again everyone. The newbie from Malaysia again. I was wondering if anyone could lend me a hand...

I'm using Metatrader 4 (MT4) from Northfinance as my charting package and based on MT4, when I want to add the stochastics, there are a few fields for me to set the parameters of the stochastics. For example, there is the %K period, the %D period and the "slowing" field as well. From Maurizio's slow stochastic setting of 18,3,3; can anyone please help me determine which setting I have to set?
Is the 18 for the %K period while the %D period and "slowing" field is set to 3 each? I also notice that there is a moving average method to choose from. By default, it is set to "simple". Am I suppose to change it to Exponential since we are using EMAs?

I hope these questions of mine aren't too elementary. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi

You are right about the inputs on the stochs, %K is 18 and %D and slowing are both 3.

As far as I'm aware we are using the simple method, rather than the expo. Sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong though.

Sorry, I just re-read the question, I thought the smoothing setting he was talking about was with regards to stochs.

My mistake
