Good trade Sam. That is the trade I mentioned before that I didn't take because the trigger lines looked to strong (wide) to me at the time. Everything else looked great. Of course, those trigger lines don't look quite as strong to me after I see how the trade turned out. Lol. But at the moment of decision when I almost took the trade, I wasn't so sure. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to discern those trigger lines better?

Add MA slope indicator to further assist you which I have added

Congratulations on winning, and on becoming a Market Wizard.

Eventhough I haven't been posting much, I have followed every post in your thread, I'm a couple of videos behind though, I will try to watch them today.

What I like the most from this strategy is that usually when a proper entry takes place, price moves in favor of the trade almost immediately.

I believe one just took place for a long at around 9:24 CT.

That was one of my trades today. DB with hidden divergence.

Here is what I meant for the 9:24 entry.

I use Sierra Charts, as my current broker does not support NinjaTrader. I had to tweak the very weird ZigZag indicator to make it look similar to what ZigZagUTC would draw. I'm very new to divergences, as I knew about their existence, but had never actually used them in my trading. I believe what I marked was a hidden divergence. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi Masood. Thanks for the suggestion. I vaguely remember your post about that from awhile back, but I am not sure where to find it. Can you direct me to your post about it, or post the indicator again you are talking about. Thanks.

Charles, the DB at 9:23 CST appears at whole number area, is it a problem?

Was this a valid entry, setting up just a couple minutes ago?

I also coded a Trigger Lines indicator for SierraCharts, if anyone needs it.
