It seems to be ranging between the Pivot and R2 - scalped a quick 9 pips off it this morning...

waiting for it to hit R2 again, will probably enter a sell and do a smash and grab for another 10+

GBPUSD
- level 2 long on 9:00cet @1.7433, made a high @1.7456 (>10:00cet) => +23 pips max range (ex spread)
- level 2 long on 15:00cet @1.7445, made a high @1.7488 (>17:00cet) => +43 pips max range (ex spread)

USDCHF
- level 1 short 8:00cet @1.3007, made a low @1.2990 (>9:00cet) => +17 pips max range (ex spread)
- level 1 short 16:00cet @1.2997, made a low @1.2975 (>16:00cet) => +22 pips max range (ex spread)

EURUSD
- level 1 long 8:00cet @1.2128, made a high @1.2142 (>10:30cet) => +14 pips max range (ex spread)
- level 1 long 16:00cet @1.2129, made a high @1.2141 (>20:00cet) => +12 pips max range (ex spread)

/* depending on the manner of filter-usage +/- 0.04 you could have had a bad short signal 12:30cet @1.2102 made a low @1.2094 (>14:00cet)
If you took that you should have closed this position at least in the growing 15:00cet-candle */

Summary:
That was a difficult consolidation day. Markets have no clear direction and dance around their ema50's.
It should have been very difficult to come out with a realized profit on catfx today, except you drove a very restrictive stop technique today. But even than it was very difficult, although the "added" pips list above looks a little more positive.

Comment:
Today we had two signals in eurusd and usdchf (16:00) where we came in at a late time when the movement was already worked out. Reason is that we wait for the complete constitution of the candle and the histostepma.
An earlier version of catfx (without filters +/- 0.04) was based on the colour of histo on opening time of the candle. If there was only a little bar seen on histo on the opening of the candle the signal formally occured. Problem with this was that sometimes there was a contrarious movement which erased this signal some minutes afterwards on the running candle, so that this seemed never been there when you looked later on the chart.
Today this strategy combined with the filters (entering on running candle when filter level on histo is exceeded) would have been much more successful than current catfx signals because of we had been entered earlier on some of the same signals and this enlarge the profits.
But as I say - "if had been, if had been, ..." - that is not the currently applied usage, but we should keep track on that during realtime market. Perhaps this could produce a better behaviour - let's watch it.

happy trading

PS: After two consolidation days we could start to hope on a more trendy day tomorrow.

Close to setup on GBPUSD and EUR USD

Hi rolling,

Hi Mibl,

Yes nothing in place yet, just a heads up that setup may be approaching.

I know its not part of the system but I always use DeltaForce to qualify my trades and it is still fairly low on all pairs.

Need the pairs to be moving before I will enter a trade.

Not sure if we trade USD/CAD but we are close to a set up. aNina gives the arrow. Just waiting for stepMa and Mbars to go into green. Very close to the main pivot.
