I believe the EMA you are using is too small for an average. If you use bigger average like 50 and 120 it can be more accurate i guess

Default Setting Slow Stoch in MT4

IBFX does not show a Slow Stochastic indicator but surely it must be there. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated. d.

You can visit my blog by clicking on my nickname above "visit homepage". I have discuss about how to use MACD, Stochastic, and Bollinger Band to setup in the right place and exit profit at the best target.

This is one of the system that i've research for over a year now and it works perfectly fine. Try it on your demo trading and give me a comment how you fill about it. The system work dynamically so you have to understand all the time frame from the highest to the lowest like Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 4H, and H

Default Thanks so much!

maurizio,

thank you so much for sharing your system with us. I'm a complete newbie. I've been studying charts, trading platforms and price action for the past several months but have had little success demo trading with any system because of impatience and lack of discipline. It wasn't until I came across your system where waiting for the candle after the cross to enter that I've had success. At first, I was trying to get a jump on my trades and pick up a few extra pips, which on some trades I was, but I was also losing on a number of trades because the trend had not actually reversed and set in on the other direction. By waiting for the candle after the cross, I have missed a few pips but my ratio of wins to losses has gone from approx 50:50 to at least 70:30.

I've found that timing your entry with the lower time frame charts really helps. i.e., by trading on the 3 hour chart, if you wait for the trend on the 15 min or 30 min chart to sync up with the 3 hour chart, your odds of getting stopped out are far less.

anyway, thanks so much.

-jason

I too decided to trade this system on my $??K account. Im having awesome results. I have modified the ema's to my liking, and watching S&R- but an easy trading method, the trick is to KEEP it SIMPLE- These big results are testing my patience not to increase the lot size ( no-no). Thanks

Does anyone know of any trading groups that get together while trading, these long overnight hours of chartstarring can start playing tricks on your mind!
