trading range on Euro?

Hi all - one thing I've seen before that I wonder if some of you have too - when an instrument puts in a giant up/down bar in a surge of high volume trading, that bar(s) often creates a trading range...

Charles - I think the LIFFE got sent your blueprint for how to run a trend last night. Too bad I slept all night but it looks like it was a profitable one for 6E traders with this strategy. I haven't...

Thanks Charles - that clears it up and agrees with the reasoning behind the filters as I understand them - I might suggest changing the wording of the 1508 rules (for long setups) to "above the cloud...

question on Cloud and 1508 chart

Charles - This may have been discussed but I had a question about the reasoning behind the long trade rules for the 1508 chart. The plan states that price must be inside a RED cloud or above a BLUE...

Wide Trigger Lines = good filter!

Hi all - hopefully these charts are self-explanatory.

I'm posting to reinforce (for myself at least) the importance of using the Filters as Charles has outlined them for this trade setup. These...

I agree this is a valid entry. I would seem from the 377 that you got a signal to exit shortly after the entry so you wouldn't have to take a full stop.

Reversing would be aggressive but in this...

A Poor Choice

All - I thought this might be instructive for some. (FYI - I'm practicing Charles's method in SIM)

At 9:19 cst there was an ALMOST perfect setup for a long entry. I attached my charts - the 377...

Your welcome - remember the relationship is not 1 to 1. The 52p EMA is an approximation - it will not agree to the tick and will sometimes move differently. Watch it for a while and you'll see what I...

using 52p ema on 377 chart

Hey guys - I put a 52 period EMA on my 377t chart (colored white to match the 13 EMA on the 1508 chart). This has been helpful when focusing on the 377 chart because it is a very good approximation...

Thanks @Trendisyourfriend for sharing your russell trade. I'm also watching the russell with Charles' method. Here is a trade that setup recently. Hopefully the chart is readable and self-explanatory.
