The way I trade is without MA crossovers. I use the 5034, 5034Z and 5014 CCI trade setups. I track 18-Forex issues with a short-term and long term chart for each. The former uses about 3/4 of each monitor (I use 6-each) with the latter occupying the remaining screen space. A signal is not valid unless the price bar closes above the 34-EMA for a Long and vice-versa (on the short-term chart).

There are other requirements to each trade but this is solely in response to the question regarding MAs. Besides the 34-EMA, I use the 14-EMA and the 204-EMA.

Today I had 13-trades and went on a 6-mile hike with friends from 8:30-AM until 12:15, EST.

I know that I'll have good trades because my trades are all in the direction of the 204-EMA. Some take longer to "comply" than others.

15-issues are on one monitor and I scroll through them (ad nauseum). The other 5 are on the remaining 5-monitors. My office isn't big enough to house 18-monitors especially if all were 24" as are the 6 I use.

As potential setups manifest themselves, I put an arrow under the 14-CCI to draw my attention the next time I'm scrolling through the 18. It frequently gets boring and I digress to scientific websites that interest me. I miss trades but not so many that it isn't worth my time.

I suppose I could use Ninja Trader but can't think of a good reason to give up Sierra Chart.

Hope this helps.

I used SnagIt to create a file image of a trade from today. If you tell me how to attach that to a post, I'm glad to provide a trade or two.

like you, snagit confuses me to no end in the beginning when mike suggested it some time ago, even today, it still did not help me in my capture, nor did it expedite my video capture either.

not saying that it is no good, other the like of mike has been using it successfully for a while already.

so i'd attributed to personal preference in terms of what one desires to use,

and also individual difference in terms of what works best and most efficient for a particular trader.

since, the explanation of snag said that it could be easily posted to facebook and others, which first caught my attention but then for me, i could not find where the linkage is saved to, to be able for me to post it to youtube or facebook.... LOL

see, how antiquated i am.... LOL

when you have it figured out, pls do post some pix, K?

perhaps, there are some proficient snag users who are reading this post and are will to clarify for several of us who are too technological naive at the moment?

won't you help, pls? thx much.

If you haven't noticed by now, I have improved my trading system and I will show it on the chart below. It works the same no matter which futures' contract I am trading. Hope this helps your ability to trade successfully.

Couple of screen shots with 2 different CCI settings.

Any one have scripts or ts file for these cci methods on TOS?

Good stuff. I am using with the YM (sim), and the results are simply encouraging.
Thanks for continuing to post.
I am new to site and appreciate the way the members interact so far.

Are you using a 377 Tick chart ?
Thought I'd read enough about this to have it jump off the screen at me. Not yet.
Guess I'm lost on the CCI bar count for Reversals.
Basically we're just getting on board WITH TREND when a CCI Bar closes above/below 45/-45. Yes?
Thanks for any help.

Fourwedge nice chart. Is there any where that I might be able to get a template just like you have on yours. With the indicators and settings. Very nice chart.

Thanks
