 Hi Steve,
 I appreciate your thoughts and help. Just to give you an idea of 
what I'm doing; I'm a swing trader who is looking for trades that 
will last anywhere from 1-21 days or longer. As I'm retired, I don't 
want to daytrade and spend my days sitting at a computer terminal. 
It seems to me if I can get low-risk,high-probability trades every 
few days that would be wonderful. ALL I'M LOOKING FOR IS 100% 
ACCURACY AND LITTLE TO NO TIME COMMITTMENT ON MY PART....LOL. 
Seeeee, I'm not looking for much...LOL.
 Seriously, if I can get a few good trades every week or so I would 
be content. I currently am using a LRV plus stochastics to confirm 
my trades which are triggered by my CCI indicator. The T3 indicator 
sounded interesting which is why I wanted to look at it. My set-up 
is simple but doesn't mean it can't be improved. I will only change 
it by dropping 1 of my current indicators so the new indicator has 
to be very good for me to do this. As I use EOD charts this affords 
me the luxury of looking at a possible setup with little time 
pressure unlike daytrading. 
 Once again, thank you for your help and suggestions, they are very 
much appreciated.

Kindest regards,

Tim

resistance with the T3's and then "drawing a line in the sand" 
(picking a price for a limit order).

both sides of the plate (mechanical vs. subjective).

is hit once in a blue moon).  It's an open-coded approach that many 
people are trading in tandem, in the room, everyday (and have been 
for a year).  It has produced an average of a trade a day ....with 
an average a little over three hours in duration.

Simple stuff. These six mechanical approaches that have performed 
with tremendous regularity.  They all work well, with stops, and 
will continue to work well....PROVIDED that volatility continues to 
wallow at these low levels.
