Morning all,

Bit slow so far today. Oil and gold taking a breather so not much else moving except cable playing a bit of catch up after yestedays move up.

Anyway, I have taken the liberty of consolidating FX Pimps posts of his method into a word doc so it can be printed out in full with all the charts if anyone wants to do so.

I have tried to attached it to the thread but it seems a bit big ATM. I will try and get it on but if anyone wants a copy in the meantime please PM me.

Hope it is useful.

Morning G-Man. I would love to have a copy. I have sent a PM.

G-Man,
I am a bit confused now on what the CCI setting are for the 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H
Will this doc clearify? Much thanks.

Pimpin ain't easy!! Great thread! Very informative!

Hi there,

I have sent you a copy. I hope it clarifies the CCI issue. I am just basically looking at using the 63 and 7 on the 5 after confirming the trend with the MA's on the higher timeframes.

As I get more used to Pimps ideas I'm sure we can expand into the methodolgy entirely.

Hi FX Pimp,

Excellent pimpology. I love to read all yr postings.

Just wondering if anyone has the source-code of the CCI indicator that FX_Pimp recommends? I'm surprised no-one else has commented on this, but when you have 8-plus instances running (as the template requires) this indicator slows everything down - the reason being, it is doing its calculations on the entire price series on every tick (* 8+) making it a real CPU-hog, when there is really no need for it. (stick it on the visual backtester that is testing a fast EA to see how bad it really is...)

I could only find the source of an earlier version, so if anyone has the newer one, post it and I'll fix it.

Thanks very much for all your kind words guys. They are really very much appreciated.
It's great to see some of you coming up with some great cuggestions too.

To summarize this morning,it's been a bit slow to be honest.
There was a little bit of Dollar weakness coming in on the Crude and Gold side of things but this didn't really reflect in the currencies. Cable and Euro both fell on the back of poor numbers but the retracements we were waiting for on the Yen & Swiss side have yest to materialize.

Crude is still at that crucial weekly 20ema at $124.00 and until that bakes or breaks I'm not getting excited about taking any trades.
I've just taken a couple of trades this last 2 days and am getting a bit itchy fingered.
Let's hope the U.S session fills our orchards with fruit a plenty.

I'm open to more suggestions on how we, as a group can improve on this, but as far as coding goes I have no idea. I have a compressed version of the template here which is kb as opposed to mb in size so please email me and I will forward it.

Happy Pimpin. I'll be back with some suggestions as they arise.

I'm now sending trading notes out twice a day with videos too. Have a look HERE.
There's one set at 6:30 UK time for London and one at 12:00 for U.S session, plus I will send a summary video after each session

Woodies CCI looks and works exactly the same and isn't cpu hungry.

OK, thanks, I'll use that.
