A Basic Breakout System

johnny how do you create the custom indicator we need in MT4?

here I got this from ff, its post number 8

if this link doesnt work follow elang’s link earlier on this thread.
do you understand this system? im looking over all the examples and I sort of get it but then i think im off. i see P1 where the price breaches the line, I see P2 where price corrects. but P3 is a little confusing to me. when elang refers to “pivots” what exactly does he mean because the examples seem to be subjective. I can’t see consistently one extreme or the other or a median price of the wave. Im still trying to figure it out.

I understand it a bit…right now I’m trying to get it set up, the only thing I have done sofar is draw the support and resistance lines for gdp/usd sofar

thanks, using it now

I’m new to MT4, is there anyway just to draw a parallel line, w/o it being extended forever?

ELANG please correct me If I am wrong with this…

but this is my analysis of GDP/USD one day for an example to the person above me asking.

I would have set a SL=50pips Profit=50Pips, could have easily set profit to be greater…but I didn’t get greedy!!!

Basicly you can see I entered the currency short the next time it hit the extreme…


Effi now I’m looking at your charts and some others and I’m trying to backtest it…

Well its not really clear to me how to enter (short/long), in some charts you go long and others you go short when the same exact event happens

Can you be more descriptive of “Once the price breaches the corrections’ PP, the trade is executed”?

Thanks for the system

WHY DID YOU EVEN BOTHER TO START A THREAD HERE???
trying to increase your notoriaty on ff??? Im getting sick of it. people are popular there and try to increase there following by coming here but then they dnt answer questions. what next you gonna charge for your signals too???

Hi Maverick,

Took me awhile to find out how to do that too but eventually I found that using trend lines with the “Ray” box Un-check, you can draw lines any which way without the line extending past the end point. Right click on the trendline, goto trendline properties and select the parameters tab and the “Ray” box is there.

Hope that helps :slight_smile:

  • Yes, spot on…sarcasm dies out… UNBELIEVABLE!!!

  • 911 i believe is the safest approach to your problem

[B]people are popular there and try to increase there following by coming here but then they dnt answer questions.[/B]

  • I see popularity is of striking importance to you. I’m afraid i don’t share the same motivation.

I have 755 Posts in BP and 962 in FF.

  • “Next” would be an inappropriate term within this context as it refers to the future. The positive answer to your question is a fact established in the past.

Either way however, seeing as i screen the people i give signals to, your negative attitude would have the better part of me place you directly in the trash can, and you’d never get a taste of the likes of these returns, because you’re ignorant, arrogant but more than that inconsiderate of your actions or words as you have proven here to myself and others, and if i could i would gladly keep you in the loosing herd of the market to teach you humility, but from my experience with that temper and approach, i won’t have to bother.

And of course, last but not least. Mind your own business.

Have a good day.

look i apologize the fact is I like you and ive read alot of your posts. As of lately i feel that bps getting alot of people trying to sell themselves. im not going to mention any names anymore but to me it feels preditorial in nature, like who can we take advantage of next. I noticed you on ff answering all there questions and when I never saw your presence here I guess my bad feelings got the best of me. So from the bottom of my heart I apologize and would hate for you to hold it against me.

Hi, I have studied the posts on FF and also here and at times I see what you are saying, but then on other charts I do not get it again. First of all, it appears these signals are few & far between, right? Working on the 4 hour charts it looks like maybe 1-2 per week per pair? And in several cases it seems there is a large drawdown before the payoff, I see in some instances a dd of more than the final profit.
In the chart on post #12 when price broke up through the green line, then retraced, I don’t understand the placing of the first blue line … that is not a pivot point? And why the multiple other short blue lines … what are they?

Thanks for all your hard work, I may be just too thick to get it yet :smiley: I will keep trying and maybe check out your chat as well.

what do you mean ray box? I can’t find it a picture would help
