Hi Folks.

Two things I want to share with you quickly.

First, a few weeks ago you may recall I sent out an email about creating a script to run on your PC to clean out your RAM chips.  This was very well received, I have to admit.  I was actually a bit shocked at how many of you were having the same problem I was with incredibly slow computers that used to be blazing fast.

This is part two to that email.

I was still having issues with my laptop slowing down for no apparent reason, even after running the RamClean script.  So I did some research and found that recently both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox made some changes to their browsers that caused said browsers to hog up an amazing amount of processor speed and memory.  Chrome was running as high as 50% on my processor and 70% of my memory when I had it open, and even closed it had 5-6 programs running that used 30-40% of both.

Try running an MT4 platform with a bunch of Renko charts in that sort of environment.

Better yet, don’t.  I already did.  It isn’t pretty.

So a bit more research found a browser called Vivaldi which is a huge step up in terms of their privacy terms and the amount of customization you can do to the browser page.

So I uninstalled both Chrome and Firefox, then had to run CCCleaner 4 times in order to clean out all the extra crap both of those browsers left behind.

And I now have a laptop that is performing almost as well as it did the day I brought it home.  My charts have never run faster and the speed in which pages load into the browser is 3-4 times faster than what I was getting with either Chrome or Firefox as recently as last week.

One warning about Vivaldi though: it does have a little learning curve to it.  Nothing major, and if you’ve been around computers and the internet for more than a year you should be able to pick it up quickly. 

But don’t uninstall the other browsers until you install Vivaldi and put it through its paces first.  You might decide you’d rather put up with the slowing and the legal ID theft Google runs on everyone who uses their stuff.  And no, that isn’t a joke.  They are a terrible company and I do everything I can these days to stay away from them.

Now the second thing:

Since the end of May I’ve received almost a dozen emails from people asking if I was ever going to bring back Tokyo Signals.  They liked only spending a few minutes a day setting up the trades, and even the folks in Australia and other parts of the world found they could get the signals at a reasonable time of the day for them and get into some decent trades.

Unfortunately, I doubt I will ever get Tokyo Signals back on the rails.  I’ve sent numerous emails to Kenji, the kid who was sending me the data that made up the signals, but have not heard back from him in almost 6 months.  So I presume he has moved on to other things.

HOWEVER…

Over the summer one of the projects I worked on diligently was to test out some of the major trading methods on the Daily charts to see if one method was better than the rest, or if there was a combination that worked better than the others.

The good news is I found a setup that was very consistent in getting into trades with a 2:1 risk/reward ratio (win 2, lose 1). 

The bad news is it tends to rely upon some very subjective decision-making on my part, which makes it totally unsuitable to try and teach to anyone else. 

But given the nature of the trades it does signal in advance, it is not just an adequate substitute for Tokyo Signals, it actually makes for better signals and better trades.

I’ve put together a page explaining it all, which is at http://fxscalpingacademy.com/s4xssignals

And just FYI, I have a trade setup ready to go for the Sunday open, assuming we don’t end up dealing with a 50 pip gap on the open.  The target for this trade is right at 200 pips, with a stop loss of about 70 (target and stop loss price are fixed…the only unknown variable will be the entry price at the open, which again is subject to a gap).

So if you liked the Tokyo Signals and want to check out this new and improved version, go to http://fxscalpingacademy.com/s4xssignals

P.S.—These new signals are NOT a subscription product.  If you like them you can buy a second round when the first expires, but no more subscriptions for me.
