THV system, V4 version

by: cobraforex

I found the THV setup very easy to observe and to work with and started to get everything together on the MT4 platform in october 2008. There is not too much left from the first chart of Turhovach, we added the THV Trix indicator which is the heart of the final product.

The main V4 rules:


Entry: Above Coral only long, below Coral only short
Price crosses cloud - both Trix cross each other and have the same color.
Best and most secure trend confirmation is a cross of the fast Trix on the zero level.

Exit:Faster Trix changes color and/or touch of a known good resistance/support level.


Other reasons to take profit can be: Touch of a trend line, resistance or support line, horizontal psych level (00 - 20 - 50 - -80) or a black cat that cross your screen


Stop Loss: please set your stop loss according to your money management plan, as higher your TF that you trade as lower you set the pip value and as higher the Stop Loss, also it depends on the currency pair that you are trading.


I use THV mainly for scalp trades but many traders use it in higher time frames.
We, the THV team proved it only on 1M and 5M. The 1M TF is only for extreme scalping and needs good FX skills !!!



These are the only rules; anything else depends on your basic knowledge on FX and your feelings.


My special thanks to SpecialED, TradeWell and Eddiemiller for trying the first beta setups, Doblece for helping me in MT4 V220 compiling issues and AK4X to keep me always in good mood and suggesting to open this thread.

And at the end to Turhovach for pesenting his charts and settings in FF and so making me suspicious what is behind of that and last but not least, my wife, giving me the time to get all this done.


Also thanks to MissPips for the developement of the MTF trading method, to Traderathome for his efforts on the contionious developement of the THV Pivot indicator, to Peter D for the birth of the THV Info indicator, Caveman for the developement of the THV Cavemanager, xux99 for his inconditional developement of the THV EA and finally to Stratman for his mini chart indicator.
There are many more to thank but the list will be too long.

Forex Trading Psychology -vs- Forex Trading Method

Did you ever see the movie The Italian Job, and if so do you remember when John Bridger asked: “You see those pillars over there, that’s where they used to string up thieves who felt fine.” Make the transition from paper trading to real money trading and you will feel FINE too – Freaked-out Insecure Neurotic and Emotional. And what a great analogy ‘string up’ is, because after all those months of paper trading winners are replaced with real money losses, that is exactly what you will feel like doing to yourself. The Trading Psychology Viewpoint No discussion about trading, or the consideration to begin trading, can be done without a harsh realization - the vast majority of all traders lose. It is said that the reason that most traders lose is because they are not psychologically prepared to trade, that is they are not prepared to accept financial risk for something of which they have no control over the outcome. Forex Trading is much more of a psychological problem then a methodologica...

Extreme TMA System

The market, like a pendulum, is a never ending sequence of extremes. It forever tries to reach the mean but never succeeds, constantly overshooting it´s mark, reversing and trying it again but always failing to reach balance. This system attempts to capture those extremes. It is a compendium of my understanding of the market, brought to it´s simplest expression. The principles are not complicated. The first indicator, the TMA shows us the average of the path that the price action in the market is following. As such, it is a backward looking indicator and attempts to determine the future from the recent history. It corrects itself by repainting itself. It has two outer bands that show us the outer boundaries of price movement that we are searching for. Our second indicator, the TMA Slope indicator will show us the relative change in the slope of TMA as compared to previous candles. It determines in which direction a trade must be placed and also shows divergences to price. For examp...

What's more important: Trading Method or Trading Psychology?

Ancient argument: What's determines success in trading: A successful methodology  Psychology and discipline?  Answer: BOTH! But this is not a "chicken or egg" dilemma. Clearly in this case method comes before mind. I don't care how much self-discipline you have. If you don't have a viable trading methodology, then you will lose money. So method is more important. Well, maybe "more important" isn't the right phrase to use. But it definitely comes first. The reason I say it may not be more important is because there are many valid trading methodologies available. Yet ironically, traders keep jumping from one method to another ... one indicator after another  one book after another  one mentor after another  one seminar after another  This is the infamous "search for the Holy Grail." Sorry ... doesn't exist. Like most things in life, people keep looking for the answer outside of themselves, w...
