Re: What Really is Momentum ?

So lets see how EUR/USD did monday and tuesday... on monday the US session was impressive, the more further from the threshold box, te more momentum you can expect... cheers Walter.

Re: What Really is Momentum ?

Check previos indicator...it not ringing , dont know why( for MT4 write alert-mesage more

simple that for NT) Rewrite alerts block( take some examples from another forums), check it,

now it make alert when indicators line cross level that you can change from "settings", also

possible change on/off and alert file name.

Re: What Really is Momentum ?

Hello fellow traders hope you got a great weekend and a great monday trading you all ¡¡

I will post now the EUR/USD momentum contexts charts for friday and today monday... you will notice how news on friday gave us a great momentum burst to the upside...

On the other hand today we did not have US news, giving a very chopy range wise trading that could only work ok with RRR type strategies...

Re: What Really is Momentum ?

And lets see how an ES trader did on friday... with great momentum climate...

and how today monday, our indicator told him to stay out on choppiness....

As you can see this momentum filter may help a lot of traders that need to know when to use their normal strategies and when to avoid them due to more or not recomendable momentum conditions.... have a good one, cheers Walter.

Re: What Really is Momentum ?

Seems like a real simple method using this momentum filter would simply be to wait for counter trend pullbacks and sell the continuation using buy/sell stops at prior highs or lows of the swings.

This is kind of similar to how you trade using pullbacks and ADXVMA's isn't walter?
