First off: I AM NOT PART OF THE "WINNERS EDGE" Team.
I saw this posted by Casey Stubbs and read the comments..added one myself but the point is those of us that use MT4 could not achieve the same set-up with standard MT4 accessories.
UNTIL NOW: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=92412
ACTUALLY THERE ARE MORE THAN A FEW OUT THERE, sometimes you just have to search harder.
3 ema (low) crosses above 25 & 30 ema (low) -BUY
3 ema crosses below -SELL
RSI (3 LOW) over-bought/over-sold rules apply.
When RSI (dotted) crosses MACD signal lines, close trade
WORKS BETTER WHEN FOLLOWING TREND DIRECTION (25/30)
Just thought I would post this if you are relying on indicators or looking for something different to try out. (may not apply to all pairs...looked better on some than others)
THESE ARE NOT TRADE SIGNALS Calculating probable "Turning Points" Not necessarily the Daily swing (although this is common). Generally "levels" are hit during the U.K. Trading sessions * I use a 15 to 18 pip buffer (+ spread) Most "turns" are good for 25+ pips BUT, not uncommon for 50+ pip runs I try to add possible target amounts based on averages. NO GUARANTEES...IT IS FOREX!!

Eur/jpy
GB trades..not so good...stops...my best Pal
onwards and reaching a top
EUR/JPY...Projected daily 112.04 est. weekly turn 112.18/ 112.40
So, looking for signs of reversal @
112.00 with 40 p stop..., exit 110.75 (1st)
(Estimated top today was under 10p
US/CHF still hovering at TOP...not much happening/stops in

The time crunch continues
Us/chf (already entered had it set ahead)
Upcoming:
Eur/Jpy, reaching into BTM area ( 109.24/ 109.05) first level for reversal..."Turn-around-Tuesday"?
Daily turn: shows 109.06 BTM area... 1st reversal area...extreme number 108.35 (based on volatility extremes)...looking for reversal at first level...use stops as always
all other pairs still to far out from either end for now...IMO

long time no posting
Starting next week, I'll resume posting my Trade Ideas.
My personal schedule has FORCED me (screaming and kicking) to adjust or alter the "Plan"...in short?
I just cannot trade daily at the times I need to be front and center.
So,
Changes were made...I even considered dropping FX and move on to something else...Options...<--still looking at that but once again this "Time" issue keeps getting in the way.
The "New" Plan?
For the last 3 weeks I've been trading weekly swing positions only...stop rolling your eyes...it's actually working out well.
Using the math, it cuts the stop-loss amount back to ...40 to 50 pip range and targets of 100 to 160+ gains over a few days (depending on pair) some pairs are only moving 80 to 90 pips...still...2 to 1 ratio roughly and thats fine with me.
I only have one trade active right now and closed out of all the rest so as of today I'm over 340 pips positive.
Good enough.
If you are interested, follow along...nothing to buy or subscribe to.
You will however have to change the way you evaluate each session and look at longer time frames until "Levels" are withing striking distance...takes a little patience and it may seem as if you are wasting time as "scalpers" post trades every few minutes out here on Twitter etc.<---if it works for you?...stay put
If not?
This is just an alternative Trading Idea, and its working for me.
Generally a few pairs will hit the 'turn' early (tuesday*) and reach targets within 36/48 hours...here we are at Wednesday and I'm out of all but one (25pip stop-loss) so even if it does go "bad" I'm way ahead.
NFP Friday...if we see a drop in US/JPY , say 40/50 pips...low 83's...I'll be going long and holding...other than that, See you next week.

the new math
As in the past, when we get volatility extreme, the "math" slides off course...
I HAD WARNINGS
and yet...I "knew" better....#FAIL
Yeah...lessoned Learned
2 days ago 18 pairs I track 2 were "on target"...<---only once before has that happened out of the last...8/9 months.
Yesterday...9 out of 18 on target
Generally I get 12 to 13 on any given day.
Keep in mind 3 pairs were just added to my list.
I don't expect everyone to understand, it is a system that works for me so I'm sticking with it and in the future I will just have to "learn" to pay attention to the 'warnings" and not trade until the "math" comes back in line.
My EUR/GB "swing" is still negative *25pips...not so bad..if the math is right ?...I should be break even or a little ahead in the next 24 hours ( I'm showing a lower high than previous top)
-------------------
levels I'm looking for:
CHF/JPY: 84.43/ 83.64....(40P RANGE)
EUR/CHF: Looking for 1.3415* low for long entry (20p buffer)..60+ p
USD/CAD: Looking for 1.0205 low for long entry...target 50+ ( My upper level is about 1.0309/1.0320)
I'll put these on my charts and keep watch..
** Just trading ideas based on my own mathematical equations....NEVER A GUARANTEE

IMO
Re-Cap?
Sure..stopped out on EUR/GB...almost took out my monthly swing position too......went short .8820 putting stop above monthly Trend line/taking a bit of profit out.
China News coming out in a few hours...
2 choices:
#1. STAY OUT and we will be on better ground next week
#2. Look for spikes in AUD/NZ/EURO...and U.S. weakness
Suddenly the MEDIA is concerned about Japan and their debt...economy...yen strength...trying to talk it down/weaken...
Pairs nearing CHANNEL "Tops"...AUD/CHF, EUR/CHF...possibly short spike after China News
Did I mention..STAY OUT?
