Understanding the Forex Trend Guide - This is the secret sauce every trader wants!

Okay, welcome guys. Now, this session is all about the Forex Trend Guide, okay? Something that I added to the site probably last week. And I'll tell you what, it's something that is a specific detail. It's not going to take me very long to explain it to you, and it's really going to give you the edge on focusing on what to trade, right? So the, and just to sort of separate it, right, the live market analysis and signals is like the live heartbeat of the market, right? This is where all the action is. And, you know, sometimes, you know, whether market conditions change or what it might be, sometimes you can sort of get led into an instrument that may look like it's got a good setup and that can change over the course of 15 or 20 minutes. But what won't change is the trend, right? the forex trend guide now this is a um i'm just rebooting my computer so just bear with me they had an unexpected sort of uh uh upgrade and when it goes through this it does slow things down a bit now the forex trend guide right you guys have probably looked at this and wondered what was going on um gav was asking me yesterday uh about is blue buy red sell or is it blue strong red weak right? This is more of a case of, especially this top section, right? And I'll explain these four tabs to you. This is more about strength and weakness, not about buying or selling. But just down here in the summary matrix, that is definitely about buying and selling, right? So now one of the things, right? Let me just give you the backdrop where this sort of came from. Now, we're looking at the markets all the time, right? Morning, lunchtime, afternoon. Hopefully, you're not doing all through the day. You'll be going a little bit crazy. But a lot of the time, right, we've got all these stats. And this is, especially for new traders, they look at this page and go, man, there's no way I'm going to understand what's going on here. It's the matrix, right? Now, you guys should know there's three parts here just to give us confidence in the market conditions, right whether they're correlating or not risk on risk off makes trading easier right just understanding the the relationship between the equity indices then into the bonds and then or interest rates and then into the major currency pairs now on this side of the page right this is our it's more of a visual so you can sort of see what's going on right i can see like aussies going pretty good against most things kiwi the kiwi crosses uh majority majority of those is sort of going up uh yen going down etc right but you look at that and then you can't really see you can't see the forest for the trees right and i know we've got sort of week month to date year to date sort of moves here and so you can sort of have a look and you're trying to piece is to get, okay, sterling's up 0.93% for the month. Year to date, it's down 0.62. Yeah, great. But once again, they're stats. So what I was sort of looking for was a little bit more clarity around what is actually happening with each of the instruments. Can we actually gauge where they are now? So I've got to say over 15 or 16 years, I always get really keen traders who start building their own Excel spreadsheets. And what they do is they start going through all the US numbers, right? They find all the US numbers, and they keep a sort of tally and trying to work out, you know, are the fundamentals overall strong or weak, right? And that's, you know, there's a lot of work in that. And, you know, AI these days, you can probably do it a little bit better. But, and this is where the interest rate tracker comes in, right? The interest rate tracker is the culmination of the fundamentals and the core sort of interest rate market, how it moves tells us a lot about what's going on in the market, right? Fundamentally. And this goes a long way to the trend, but we use it a lot more for trying to determine if there is an announcement coming out, say it's sterling and the numbers come out and the hike is 96% factored in. Well, if the numbers are strong, it's not going to go up far. If the numbers are weak, there's a lot of unwinding to be done. So that sort of gives us the edge on the actual release, as well as giving us an overview. If you're looking at the current rates, the strength of a currency is generally based on its interest rate, but it's not always right. Aussies are 4.6, the Fed is at 3.8. You'd think the Aussie would be at parity, but it's a long way from it. So there's a lot of things in there. Now, the Forex Trend Guide, what I'm trying to do is put all those components together and stick them in a honey jar, shake it up, see what comes out. Now, when I originally built this, I had the trend, the price, and the rates first, and I had combined over here. But probably one of the key numbers you'll look at is the combined number. Now, so this is the eight major currencies, right? US dollar. They're not currency pairs. And you'll see that the pairs are factored in. It's the long-term score. And we're talking more daily charts. So I know Ben has switched to more of a daily trading activity. And that's a pretty smart thing to do because it takes out all the noise. The long-term score of the table ranks on price structure weighted against rate expectations. Okay. So what that is, let me just, so the combined is a bit of a culmination of these three things here. Okay. So let me just get on that. So the trend, okay. And there's a detailed explanation here, but I'll explain it to you. The long-term direction, let me just highlight that so you know exactly what I'm looking at. The slope, and this is really around my sort of IP of determining where, you know, the long-term direction is, where it's going and how aggressive it is. The slope of the 100-day moving average, right? The average trading range normalized and read in degrees, right? I base this off the level of degrees of that 100-day moving average, right? You got to use something. And this is exactly what we use for Primetime Pro. So based on that, okay, the yen is the strongest instrument, right? And, you know, that's 67, right? The dollar next, right? So if the dollar and the yen are the two strong ones, well, then your dollar-yen isn't going to go far, right? Because they're obviously against each other. And then you've got sterling, which is a bit of a standout at the moment, plus 38. So this is sterling normalized against all the crosses as well. CAD 12, Aussie minus 24, Euro, Kiwi, Swiss. And it's not sort of uncommon. You'd be looking at these two going, because the Euro and Swiss are tied at the hip. Now, Aussie and Kiwi are a little bit tied at the hip, but they do separate sometimes. Now, the price. The long-term price action. Trend, momentum, and distance from the long-term mean sort of blended to give us an accurate overall assessment of the price of the instrument. Sterling is strong, then you've got CAD, Yen, Aussie, and so forth. Now, the rates, well, this sort of more reflects back to the interest rate tracker page where The market prices each central bank path plus 21 days of repricing. So there's a bit of forward guidance on here, right? So what are they doing and what's the forward guidance? And you'll see from the current moves, like the UK employment was a little bit better. And so was the CPI, just a fraction better as well. They were largely factored into the market. But it gives us a bit of a backdrop that sterling is looking particularly strong on the rate side of things, right? That's at 100, CAD is at 85, and then it goes down to euro and yen at 12. Right, so put the trend, the price, and the rates into, as I said, the honey jar. You get the long-term score, the table ranks, right? So overall, if we are looking at the follow the trail, you can't really see what's going on. So you come back to here, you'd be like, what is the best instrument here? Well, what's the strongest currency? You see it on your charts, right? And this is one thing that I was also sort of getting a little bit like, well, it's hard to actually see because I can see Sterling's going up here. I can see Aussie's going up and the Kiwi's joining the party and the CAD is going up or dollar CAD is going down. so that means CAD going up you're like well which of these is the strongest you're like they all look pretty uh pretty similar so that's where i was trying to build something just to give me the edge on what is going on and funnily enough i mean i just went over that but what are the four pairs i just mentioned sterling strongest cad next aussie kiwi so this is very reflective of what's going on your charts once you understand what you're looking at right then it will become a bit more of a tool for you to use i actually think this is this is the secret sauce right that is going to really so when you get a signal you can actually cross-check that signal against the trend um the trend guide and go you know what this actually not only looks good it looks really bloody good right now what is the what are the terms mean off the pace you got off the front and then he got weak mid and strong right so down here you can actually see what's going on so what the terms mean off the front strongest reading long-term trend and momentum agree across most of its seven pairs right it's not just looking at the dollar right across seven pairs the clearest most one-sided picture on the board okay so that's that's what that is and the CAD is basically in that boat. Now, if you come in to look at the Aussie, then you've got, it's just a strong, a clear positive lean, but the seven readings do not all agree. So the picture is less settled than off the front, right? If I come back to here and you have a look, it's almost telling you what's lining up and what's not. All of them aren't lined up, right? So that's something to be uh to keep to bear in mind so and then obviously the mid no meaningful lean right pretty neutral uh which is the dollar at the moment uh weak a clear negative lean and then you've got uh the weakest reading so nothing's really absolutely terrible at the moment okay so let's just come down here to and then you've got sorry let me just finish that off the label under the each score is how clear the picture is not how far it will move right so just think okay that's where it is right now it's it's it's gives you the clear picture doesn't tell you how far it's going to move a high score will make with a mixed label is a weaker signal than a lower score that all seven pairs agree on the number on the far right is that score rescaled to 100 right we had to scale it out of something obviously 100 is a is a good measure now bringing the data here this all of these stats here into the summary matrix right as i said this is like uh putting it all together and there's two parts here to make it easier i made a separate little heading here the best trending instruments right now right euro sterling uh down sterling swiss up euro cad down uh cad swiss up euro aussie down now where do we get that so this this table here you really need to understand how to read it because you'll get lost in it. Now, up here, let me just clear the screen. Okay, the summary matrix. Each cell is the rows currency score minus the column currencies. Okay, so what that means is, let me just explain it in layman terms. Right, so sterling, okay, against the euro. So sterling is performing at 80 against the euro. Okay, so what does that mean? you would be buying sterling against euro right that means the way the currencies are quoted you would be selling euro sterling right the other way to do it is so you've got these pairs at the top here the columns sterling euro against sterling is minus 80 right cad against euro is minus 72 uh aussie against euro is minus 54 okay so that'd be buy aussie euro right so and that's sort of the same way across the other side so what you can do is just look up um where are we okay so i'm just losing my train can i ask you a question just while you're on that just a few minutes ago we we got a um an alert a level two alert the aussie kiwi um a level two uh trend building how would we incorporate what you're saying on this um um trend guide how would we sort of incorporate that signal that came through well that's a good one because this is that's a really good question steven because have a look at this right so just on the on the merits of where the instrument is in relation to the bull bear pivot lines on the hourly and daily you can actually come back through here and go Aussie uh against the Kiwi it's plus eight right you're thinking well jesus the the really big pairs that have got really clear direction that that are over here are sort of more in the plus 48 plus 54 plus 80 right you're like well can i quantify this this signal plus eight you're like that isn't it's like so it looks like the signal lines up but does it have a really strong drive not really does that make sense yeah it does you can see that whoa whoa one at a time there fellas a little good man um just regarding that Aussie uh Kiwi you can see that live signal it just came through on the platform yep yep so where it says it's a level two uh trend and momentum momentum aligned trend is building one zone confirms and one remains neutral so when we come across to your um forex trend guide like you just said we're only at plus eight so really does that negate the live signal in the sense that we just have to just hold on well it doesn't negate it this is where you you get to use your own sort of subjective opinion so what what i'm trying to do is is give you the like the real clues in as to where the best trends are at the moment right so this could be something that you would keep like track of steven and go you know what aussie kiwi yeah it keeps coming up like so basically what could happen let me just come get the chart up here because this is this is perfect right as in the sense of trying to sort of quantify exactly what's going on we're trying to sort of narrow things down to get a better angle right and sometimes just get this okay so we're sort of getting close to a buy signal. It's just, I mean, the bull bear pivot line is still going slightly up. This one's going up. So I can sort of see where the buy signal is, but you might be thinking, well, this is, okay, it's sort of like just below the bull bear pivot line, but the bull bear pivot line is sort of still going up. It might be a question mark over that. You're like, yeah, I'm not sure that this is where I would sort of come back through. And if you do have time, do this and you come back through because if you've got aussie and against the kiwi well aussie's plus eight it's like it's not amazing right what i'm trying to get you to do is build your own framework around the forex trend guide this is your cross check um you know i can call this a whole range of different things the actual heading um i could call it the signal cross check but you know it's the forex trend guide so the so for that one there steven what i was sorry trying to get to i was just losing my train of thought is you have a look at that and keep a tally actually i could probably do it on my um actually well if you were to pick a pair there right with the really good numbers can you then go back to the meta stock and show us how it appears on the actual um on the chart are you able to do that like when you have a look here when you're comparing one against the other for strength versus weakness yeah yeah so what do you so what do you want to look at like aussie kiwi so if you if you were to pick on that uh yeah on the trend guide you pick two uh currency pairs um you know one obviously weaker and one stronger so then whichever one you'd see there that sticks out and then let's have a look at the chart here yeah and just overlay it so we can see what the uh price action how that represents the uh the plus and the minus in the uh trend guide good man good man okay check out this one okay euro sterling yeah there we go this is a that is like you're looking at that going holy ---- that's nasty that's like going right and and you'd be thinking how did i not get on that the uh euro sterling is by far and away the best so you can look at that right and that has an 80 reading right all right yeah okay that has an 80 you look at aussie kiwi and i mean we're sort of we're at odds and ends here like uh you're really sort of getting picky you're like yeah it's not like that doesn't 100% going up to me just yet if anything the bull bear pivot line's going up that's why it's we're going to book the buy signal but the price is sort of just drifting down right if we had to over analyze it this thing here i'd be pretty comfortable with that but then you're like so you look at that right that's an eight versus an 80 or a minus 80 I bet this is like like if I walked in someone and said okay a downtrend is an instrument that's going down check these two out what do you is that going down like everyone would say yeah that's going down yeah does it does that answer your question there Steven or not yes yeah it does so with that and you're looking at the price action you've got confirmation on the daily um would that be something you'd put trendline trader in play or PrimeTime Pro well you can diversify and use a bit of both right so if you put um trendline trader in play you can actually go with a bigger trade size I think because it's got a very unique it's got it's super accurate and it will only trigger when everything is perfect right so you can actually go with a good size I actually would in this regard because it's actually trending so well you could be using both one on two different charts definitely PrimeTime Pro right it is just looking yeah it just looks amazing right the yes so coming back to this right and then then you can sort of piece it together so what I would be looking for and this is once again uh confirmation where you can actually confirm the signals and and so generally speaking when I look at the say the active alerts of what's coming up I don't execute all of them uh not for a long shot right so we put these things come up and then what I'm sort of generally saying to you previously is okay so you've got an Aussie Kiwi there right signal and the then you're looking at the chart and you're like yeah okay i can see there's a a little um you know support line here this is the widow maker too by the way i was saying that the other day it's a nasty bastard but um and that was the kiwis it used to call that because you think those two countries so close would be doing similar things but you sort of have a look here and i'm like yeah okay it's come down it is sort of coming back we do have a support trend line here like this is what i would be doing without the 4x trend guide and probably with with it as well and i'm like okay so yeah it's got the structure potential to keep going up that's when i would sort of come in and go, all right, this is why it's part of the ultra program, which all of you guys have actually access to, right? And from here, you know what? It's like looking at the signals and getting the answers. I can actually come down here and go, yeah, let me just do a quick check here, Aussie Kiwi. And you may have in your own personal selection process going, you know what? I don't do any signals that are under 50, right? This is one way to sort of work it out right you might be going anything so up up in this corner and over here these are the ones you probably want to be sort of focusing on so you can filter the the signals using the forex trend guide does it make sense yep about the rest of you guys everyone understand what what's happening here yes yep yeah i find um trades that are floating around the bull bear pivot line are um a 50 50 at best and i usually kick them out and it's been working for me so far lately and that's uh that's a really good call right because that's exactly like i look at this and i hadn't looked at aussie kiwi and i've got the my um prime time pro actually executing the aussie kiwi i'm actually the same going you know what i get to choose when i trade that is not awesome right it's it could be a line baller you could be just getting into it this this sucker here this is now i'm i'm getting excited bull bear pivot line going down and if i just got a little bit uh smarter i could draw a trend line in here and you're like holy ---- balls this thing's about to get over over bought i know it's a little bit oversold here see how it's just drifting that's it's not doing too much The overall trend is down. I'm like, look, that is so different to Aussie Kiwi, right? And we're trying to put our good cash onto good opportunities, right? And I don't want to, like, sort of jinx anyone, but Gab is on a 16-winning streak, right? It's like the commentator's curse, but you're doing a great job. And you know what, Gab, doing that without even having the summary matrix, this is actually here not as it like you know i've seen sites and i've seen things i get sent a lot of stuff a lot of it's like gimmicky right like financial source who actually do provide some of the they've got a news service and then they've got all this other crap i've told them like all your fundamental stuff and everything else is just a gimmick it doesn't actually help you this is not a gimmick it's actually going to give you clear direction so if you look at what's going on quickly you come back to the screen especially after a day or two you haven't been looking at things. You're like, okay, out of all the currencies, what's strong? And you're like, okay, sterling, CAD, right? That's enough. I'll go and have a look at those two. Or what's really weak? And these two working together, this is where you can sort of tie everything together. Euro and Swiss, right? They are equal, one of the same, right? You look at that. If I see those two doing the same thing, I'm like, markets are good. This is good, right? Then you can sort of have a look and get the strong ones. So there's a lot of different ways you can use the data to sort of interpret different things. Underneath, I've got the general relative strength. That's neither here nor there. It's just more information. Now, that's not a gimmick, but that's not going to help you as much as all of this stuff. I'm just trying to show you where we're getting the data from. So that's what the Forex Trend Guide is. Once I sort of built it, put it all together, And then I was like, exactly what you were doing there, Stephen, which is super smart. How could, like, what does it look like? What does an 80 look like compared to an eight, right? You guys see that? I mean, an eight, you can actually start to see here. This actually, this does look like an eight compared to something that is really stepping it out of the park, which is a Euro sterling, which is just definitely going down. That's where it is, right? So you've already got me thinking, right? I was going to say to you guys, like, have your own sort of rule check around the alerts. But I'll tell you what I'm going to do straight after this. I'm going to build in here on the signals some sort of, if I can get a column in here, and put in there the trend. Yeah, like I'll give you the strength or the number, then you'll know, right? Yeah, nice. What do you think about it? Yeah, it kept the words out of my mouth. I was trying to say that before. That's great. Just put that big eight on that thing that flicks up that Steve was talking about. Yeah, well, Kev, I could just feel that in your voice when you were... No, that's good. But this is actually, like, I was pretty... There's one more thing I would like to add, if I can do that. I mean currently Euro, uh, Euro GBP is it's been stuck on it all night and that is stuck on on a very strong support and that's why it's hanging in but this is really good to see the strength is still there so potentially sooner or later it could break through you never know of course is there anything else that this is just a wild yap here is there any other strength weakness thing that you could put in here that would you know like your trends your friend until it disappears until it ends what is there around or that tells you that the trend is ending like that could be built into this uh i know you're gonna smile at me but you know at the end of the day it's everybody's dream but should never put it aside we should be saying what if we could find this what if we could find that one well there's different things in here right so there's there's a hundred different EA's in here that's what i mean you've got to come back to the core structure you can always go and research and do some stuff like in the MetaStock there is trend strength but what is trend strength it could be any one of these sorts of things right uh directional movement average directionally like there's i don't even know what half of these things are and if you go through the full spectrum of um analysis tools i've got one i've got one in my head if i could pop it out to you sure uh last night it was a good example of GBP um USD and it was trending like like we had a good run up and then it uh you know when it does the pullback okay yep um and you generally if you go down to the to the you know one and two minute thing and you watch that for a while you start to see the signals there that will give you the um you know that the clue, start to give you clues that you're ending that upwards push. So if there's something there, I've noticed it quite a bit, you know, I could map it out for you, but it starts to give you that. Now, surely we can get the computer to tell us rather than anybody staring at the screen. What I'm trying to say is we could take out, that was a really good example, both Euro and the other one, but just picking the moment to take that money off the table, wait for the retrace, you know what I mean? That's, I believe, everybody's dream to be able to do that. Well, it's, you know, the one- or two-minute time frame to me does not give a true indication of what's going through the market. I know it's like transactions. It's what is happening on the hourly time frame that everyone professionally is looking at is where the difference is because then, but if it works for you, it works for you. I'm not going to change that. I'm painting a picture of how you could, I'm not saying I want to stare at the one and two I know what you're saying but there's got to be a way of the signal, you've given us now the signal of strength great, now what about in that, is there a way of determining the you know, when you take that piece out of the market because everybody's hate, including me last night, where you're going I should have took that damn thing off the table but I was not there at the time. Now, I'm not sure that Primetime Pro does it. If it does do it, great. I'm going to keep learning that thing to see whether it will take it off the table. But what is making it take it off the table anyway is what I want to know. What does PrimeTime Pro do in behind the scenes? Well, the funny thing is this just isn't obvious enough, right? So the active alerts, I actually had short-term and long-term status still on this page because it should tell you if you're long and it gets into a um overboard situation then you would be using this to manage the position well that's all right when it's in the overboards though Brad but it's not always in that position where it does the pullback no that that's right my god i'm saying if you can focus on that bit i mean i don't know how many times over my career so far where you go i've got a good number up here i could take that off the table wait for it to retrace go back in uh you You know, it's everybody's frigging nightmare or positive if we can find that little gem now that you've got the strength and weakness thing hanging on, you know. You should never say it's impossible because look at what you've built so far. Oh, no, that's right. No, that's right. I'm thinking even on the short-term and long-term status, it's not obvious. To me, it is. If I was looking at that, then I'd be like, if I'm long and I'm getting – it's overbought, let's be like square up. Now is the time to square up. um i'll work on that today um does can i ask this one more question does the PrimeTime Pro take it out yes it does but it doesn't take it out if it's not in that area is that correct no that's right well there's two things you can use um let me just come back okay i'm gonna okay let me just go to 4.5 i call it 4.5 i think everyone else is 4.4 so what you've got here in the settings is okay and i think i set them up as default okay exit on momentum pivot change right that's usually when the momentum changes and it can be right so if i was so what you can actually set it up to do so say you're um you're getting long here this is actually one where you might get taken out too early like this one here well that's gone straight up um oh here's one like Where it goes down and where it's not necessarily oversold or anything, but where momentum has checked, right? It's gone from selling, selling, selling. It's gone back to, okay, there's something happening. This is like a square up signal is what we call it. I mean, it's a pivot change. That's where it would square up. You can actually have that set up. Sometimes in good trending markets, I wouldn't have it on because you sometimes get that, but the trend will sort of dominate. So you've got exit on momentum pivot change. I've set it to true Exit on reversal arrow at the extreme. So that's the other side of it, whereas you get into a trade long here and it's either executing on the pivot change above the oversold or at the very worst selling before it goes back down So you've got two things in there because it's like having – I know what you're getting at and it's an ideal situation to have wherever it stalls, but you want it to make sure it stalls properly because otherwise you end up leaving cash on the table, is trying to get that perfect scenario all the time. Markets aren't perfect. I'm doing the best I can as far as get that signal to manage the position as best we can. So that's where it is there, Kev, but this is, until sort of I'm told, right, this is like a good thing because I look at that, that's all about position management where instead i could see that being a lot better saying okay you're long it'd be like stay there'll be i'll change it there'll be a thing here saying stay long or square up i'll tell you what comes to my mind just as one thing there is because i when i'm reading the charts it's basically coming down you get your changes of course is when where it sits on your support or vice versa resistance and if it's strong that's where it'll sit so i mean if we could fire your your signals across to looking at the charts in that regard then that that's a good example of exactly in that zone somewhere in that zone it's going to uh if you know it's not strong enough it's going to sit on that and do the reversal and that's pretty obvious how it works but uh there's there's got to be that can pick yeah yeah i'm sort of i'm sort of the reason there's another one thing and then i'll shut up about it if you chuck your chart on claude it automatically tells you you how many touch points that you've got along that line or in that zone because you know it's not a line it's a zone uh and very interesting last night i was looking at you know how you were doing the trend trader and how it has a trend either side of the main main line yeah i think you said 12 which was pretty accurate it was doing 12 either side last night there nicely on those two so it could possibly work with you know look you look to the left on say four hour or a day would be better but four hour at least and see okay how many how many how many um touch points do we have is this Is this a point where it actually does move, like does the turn, you know, because that's what happens in real life if you're looking at charts. Yeah, we just don't know when it's like you could have like we had Dollar CAD must have had 10 touches. And can you predict when it's which one of those 10 it's going to break? No, I'm talking horizontal here. I'm not talking you're putting the horizontal into it now. Okay. Well, that's something I don't do all the time. No, but if Claude can do it, you can make it. the ai pick up on that and say okay we've got a really strong horizontal trend line here you don't have to do it it's the machine will do it okay we'll give it a try that's what i'm saying we've tried a lot of different things with ai and i can tell you it's a ******* basket case the uh it's good on research analysis giving you information and data you try and get it to trade and uh you'll Well, that is the research you're doing. You're just getting it to research that line, you know, and then transfer it back to you to say, okay, we have a strong potential here of a hold-up and a reversal, you know. Well, I guess if you're getting it to do your analysis, that could be one thing. Brad, can I ask you a question regarding Pepperstone? You often say we should draw our own trend lines as well, but in the um coding and you've already got trend lines that appear when you put PrimeTime Pro on oh yeah with mechanics yeah yeah so do we then need to are you saying we should add our own indicators on top of that or well i just or just leave it out i'm happy with what you've got there like it just shows like i'm looking at well this would be a good example Steven like um you know there's some trend lines here showing you what's going on but i could see an obvious one that would be you know so from this low uh okay so my the next question regarding the coding that's in the EA if we draw other trend lines it does not impact the uh execution or the properties of okay cool you got it man you got it yeah so all that the the uh bull bear pivot line yellow on the hourly um is coded into the properties and same with that uh trend line that's there we're looking at the euro sterling at the moment on the hourly you'll see you've got the bull bear pivot line uh price actions below it but above that you've got your red um trend line which is obviously built into the coding so my question is if we add other trend lines it doesn't interfere with any other uh of the execution side of it all right perfect um yeah that's good so just just to come back to it guys the uh now you've got if you've got questions around this and there'll be a bunch of traders especially the UK guys that will have questions around what we've got i hope i hit video record i think i did the um but this is a just just i mean i've got a bit of homework to do as far as tech go because i can see the benefit here of getting a signal and like getting a and a signal on the signal that's a really good thing right that's going to help everyone because If I could put one more thing across it, if I may, you could, while you're talking tech, just two, they are basically two lines crossing. For a visual, you might like to do a cross, a two-line cross thing. You can actually go into indicators and get this stuff off indicators. It's almost identical to what you're talking about here, but it's actually a visual in a two-line cross on top of a zero line. So there's a zero line horizontal. Like plotting the strength or weakness of the instruments against each other, like a visual chart? Yeah, it's a line. Just they cross each other, okay? Yeah, I'll think about it. Just go into indicators and you can find plenty of them. Whether they're accurate is another thing with what's on there, but it does do a pretty good job of it, okay? But if you just get the idea, if you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, for sure. So one more thing, Brad, just regarding the trend lines, If people need help then putting the trend lines on MetaStock, we could then come to the Pepperstone chart, look at your coded trend lines and then put them on MetaQuote so we'd get the exact same trend lines. Is that a fair point? Yeah, you can. I would actually, instead of like copying them over, right, so I do 99% of my analysis on MetaStock, right? So I would actually, this is the only thing that you have to do. and you know a lot of us have got time in front of the screens you don't have to like i don't want you spending all day there but this is as i said like just get some tunes on and you guys like coffee anyone like coffee i'm a bit of a junkie the mt5 charts aren't as accurate either oh no the pricing isn't either um so that's something to bear in mind because you want it accurate see And see how I do it instinctively in the sense if I'm off by one little bar, I will go into it and make sure it's right. So if I turn the tunes on and have a coffee, you know, I'm just going through the charts. And then what I would do then, Stephen, is you've got your Euro sterling. I would come back to my other one and just check the lines and go, oh, yeah, that sucker's already drawn. There it is there. Yeah, that's sort of what I was getting to. Yeah, yeah. um and obviously i mean you got that bull bear pivot line now too which is red when it's going down yellow when it's or blue when it goes up yellow when it goes down this thing is just looking uh the more you look at it the more i'm pissed off like how good is this trade here yeah okay i mean that's on that's on trade mode not because if you had that on sell with uh auto trade with bull bear pivot line it wouldn't have executed there because it's above the bull bear pivot line but i tell you what that's uh you know what actually this is a hairy hindsight because you look at this and what i'm saying is like sometimes you go oh yeah that would have been such an easy trade but i'm like okay so i mean you can draw trend lines anywhere but this is sort of broken back this is a real clean out so i can't really say i mean would have been great obviously in hindsight to be getting short there but um you got to be realistic when you look at situations and you miss opportunities be realistic and you come back and go oh no that's above the bull bear pivot line it looks like it's about to shoot to the top side stops pivots and then goes down so anyway what if this isn't realistic wouldn't you put the parameters of sell only on that particular trade you you are a joy to train you are spot on dude you are spot on do not get clever only sell you save yourself a whole heap of grief and you know what you've got opportunities in the market that are not going to trigger if it doesn't line up steven that's a that's a perfect mate and one last thing um just regarding your bull bear pivot line on your hourly is that um the latest uh primetime pro because um like i didn't realize that it's a red when it's going down and a yellow when it's sort of neutral and then obviously blue would be if it's uh in an uptrend is that how you've coded it you got it dude so i'll get you uh i'll get you the latest that's right whatever no problem that's mr sniper's idea oh okay yeah well he did all right he was talking about the widow maker actually it's Mr Sniper yeah so that's Ben right that's Ben's uh he Ben's from uh South Africa mate he's uh he's a bit of a tech guy so like it just it just for me like i was trying to do this for ages and Ben sort of uh put up his thing and i sort of thought you know what that's good all i need was the drive to go and do it you can see like it just it's just an easy visual everything uh coming back to what you were saying there Kev with the um charts like visually if you can see things visually like a chart with the lines crossing over whatever it might be then that's that's if it's a benefit what i also love about Mr Sniper he's gone for colors and colors are a wonderful thing it your brain works on colors it doesn't work on figures yeah that's right there he is yeah the uh Ben's been around for a while mate he's uh he's good reach out to him listen to what he's got all right guys thanks for that uh any questions very good this is very good Brad very very good this thing well that's good i'll be after some good testimonials from you guys all right guys appreciate the time i think this is this is i think like seriously i think this right and even going through it with you guys confirms that even more this is going to be such an invaluable tool that's why it's like ultra right so there's two levels here you guys have got it all but looking at that signal and going eight so what i'm going to be i should be able to do is go this is going to be i don't know well kev you hit the spot if it's it's not impossible right i could probably build this into the ea right so i choose the the size of the signal and go you know what i want to trade aussie kiwi but i only want to trade it if the signal's above 40 or 50 just something about the kiwi we've got news on the kiwi you see here so i mean you shouldn't reject that because now the news overlays it today about another hour's time yeah yes the uh cpi we got yep uh that just just be careful with this bastard too it isn't it's nasty mate the um because there's because what happens with most currencies like liquidity pulls out of the market there used to be only like four major banks there and they would be and they would pull all the liquidity so what that means is there's there's a price at the market but it will only cover like 0.1 whereas usually it would cover like say 100 lots so then you think there's prices there but there isn't any so but this will be good for the crosses and afterwards right because there's only a couple of numbers that come out of new zealand and what else would i be looking at for that steven um so i'm sorry i was i was looking at something else what was the question uh we got cpi coming out what else should we consider um CPI yeah, Kiwi CPI coming out yeah, let's have a look, no no, it's on the screen, we've got an 80% chance of a hike right, like yeah okay, longer numbers it'll go up, it'll go up a bit because it's only at 80, weaker numbers this thing could uh really fall out of bed because they'll unwind that okay right, okay so what's your expectation is when that news hits, if it does, if there is a hike wouldn't it be already factored in that yeah that's what i'm saying, if we get strong CPI numbers the market is largely factoring in a hike anyway right so but 80 is not like a 96 like we see in sterling, so sterling won't go up much on the strong numbers here, 80 it's still got a bit of a way to go so you might see something there right okay yeah unwind means Brad, just the unwind let me play what i think you mean by unwind, you you use a few things that we don't, i don't necessarily understand so unwind means if the figures come out and it's the dead opposite to where it's going then you're going to have the trade go in the opposite direction and that's the unwind you're talking about that's it okay beautiful all right well there's some good, there's some good charts on the EUR New Zealand, if it winds backwards down the hill, there's a good one right there. Well, that's good. Gets you focused. All right, guys. Excellent. Great trend line. I like it. You know, this actually would get me a little bit more excited about looking at the Kiwi numbers because if the numbers do come out really weak, then we've got a trend line. That's a bit of liquidity there to get into. Outside of that, trying to buy it on strong numbers, there's like nothing up here. It's hard. There's nothing on the charts to buy anyway. It's all sitting on the trend line. All right. All right. All right, guys. Thanks for joining me. I'll get this up. I'm going to get to work on some of these things because they are progressively building a better system. Yeah, absolutely. Awesome. What if we can? That's how you live your life, mate. What if you can when you're a programmer? That's how I lived my life for 45 years. What if I could do this and we made it happen where the bloke said you couldn't. I said, get stuff. What if we could? All right, guys. Good work. See you later. Thanks, guys. See you later.
