I'll post daily screenshots here for anyone who is interested.

Here are a couple of screen shots (yesterday & today) showing the trades I took using my Holy Grail system of indicators. Thanks to Sharky, Rjay, BigMike, Keith & Todd. I just adjusted settings / made some color changes to achieve what I thought would be a good trading system. To download the Holy Grail set of indicators & chart template or to follow the progress & view other members' comments - see the Holy Grail thread in the General Discussion section. Happy Trading!

Nice day. Started out a little choppy, but had a very good day, overall. Made a mis-step early on & had to recover from it, but followed the indicators & came out ok! It may not be the Holy Grail, but it's as close as I've been able to come. I think I'll stay with this one.

wiz, nice documenting and congrats on a great day. I love plans that leave little room for excuses like, missed that one, or had lunch, or I think its going up/down, etc...
this was system trading and execution.. very well done.

Great job, Wizard!

How do I enable the up or down arrows shown in your chart? I imported it yesterday from your template。 Thanks!

Sorry, I should have mentioned I drew those arrows manually to show where to go long / go short. They were drawn at the end of the day, just before I uploaded the chart to the forum. You can turn arrows on (Show Arrows = TRUE) in any of the DoubleMAPaint indicators or the SMI2 indicator if you wish, but they seem to draw so many arrows it's confusing, so I turned them all off.

That's true. Too many arrows. I wish the ones you drew were from the indicator itself For now, I will keep them off as well.

Hello everyone.

Here's a screenshot for today. Typical Friday. Lots of lack of direction. Finally got a nice move to the downside in the afternoon.

(ZEN FIRE data feed users - Multiply by a factor of 4.94 to make your chart look like mine: 233 Tick (mine) * 4.94 = 1151 Tick (Zen-Fire))

I believe the indicator that they are using is called SMI2 which paints the bars when set to True.
