Just a quick one - does anyone have a template available for the current Monarch Seeds and Cherries system? I'm keen to have a closer look....
Thanks :-bd

Hi everyone,
Today I've been forced into opening a new account with a new broker (Think Forex no longer offers a 1 pip fixed spread on DAX and at times is as high as 2.5 - 3 pips during London Open trading. No thank you!). I'm taking this opportunity of a fresh installation to load up the latest Monarch/Seed/Cherry indicators and to focus on trading this approach on the DAX. Looking back through my M5/M1 pullback trading approach it is clear to me that fractal geometry is at play and that these entry signals are the same, albeit on a different timeframe, as trading The Monarch. New peak, pullback, continuation etc. I am not abandoning my current approach as it works, but simply adding a couple strings to my bow and focusing solely on the DAX.

So my entry mechanisms will be as follows:
S1: As I've been trading, a pullback that can give rise to a stepping M5 AIMS level, new peak, M1 AIMS level break. M5 eWave shows the same conditions as we use to filter M1 Seed/Cherry.
London Open (LO): A momentum trade at London Open, M1 AIMS level or range break.
Adam's Apple (AA): An M1 fruit candle that occurs at the peak of the pullback, in a position that can give rise to a stepping M5 AIMS level.
Monarch Seed (MS): New peak, pullback, Seed candle, working towards TZ1.
Monarch Cherry (MC): New peak, pullback, Cherry candle, working towards TZ1.
I will only be trading the DAX and I am therefore comfortable with a few different entry mechanisms as they're all on the same timeframe.

Entries are not exclusive to others and, for example, an Adam's Apple may be followed by an S1 which may be followed by a Monarch Seed to give three running entries.

Stay tuned for pics and updates! :-bd

London open - you mean bracketing?

Good evening everyone and happy 2015. Hope you're all well and enjoying a prosperous start to the new year, although it is already February!
I've had a busy last month or more with a wedding and interstate move but will be setup and ready to trade again (hopefully) from next week. Looking forward to catching up on the forum.

But what if the markets have changed?!?! 8-}

Looks like some interesting developments with The Hunt - I've got some catching up to do.

P.S. Love the new head shot G-Man, beautifully lit.
