One of the best sketches ever to come out of Belgium. If you can find subs for the original, definitely worth looking for it :-)

I'm trying to imagine how I'd feel at that exact moment....good grief. But yeah, if we choose to make money in the riskiest way possible (I guess drugs and arms traficking have better profit margins, but let's stay on the legal side here), we have ...

Why should you let it scare you? It's an integral part of trading with leverage. Make sure you aren't overleveraged and situations like this cannot kill your account. My total margin never exceeds 10% of my equity. If it does reach 10%, it's in ...

It'll be allright, the UK has extremely strict regulations on finance stuff. AlpariUK had to declare insolvency because their own funds were too small to cover the clients losses after they margincalled everyone out of the losing positions. All that ...

Key is that you can sell a bond before it 'runs out'. Suppose you bought a 30y bond in 2007 when rates were higher, say 4% (did NOT check stats, just an example!!), and today a 20y bond returns 2%. Both have about the same time to go until ...

In that case, I'd follow up on your hunch regarding the EMA calculation. It looks to me like you have everything right regarding formula's. If you know coding, you could also check the way the indi itself calculates its values, eliminating the ...

100-100/1 is zero, not 100 RS=POS/NEG RS=0 when NEG is far larger than POS ----> 100 -100/(1+0)=0 RS = infinity when POS is far larger than NEG----> 100-100/infinity=100

I believe you're doing it right mostly, except for doubts about step 4, just to make sure : 1. 14 period EMA on closing price 2. looks right 3. POS = (gains in the EMA on the UPdays during past 14 periods)/14, likewise for downdays NEG 4. ...

That was indeed forexalien formatting my post. I had a couple weird PC issues going on at the time At the time, we were looking over the varied ways we were using Alien's system. I don't know if Alien specifically 'endorsed' my post, all I can ...

That ADX divergence is a totally different thing, and it's unfortunate that we started calling it a divergence in the first place. Using the name for two unrelated things is confusing at best. It's a bit late for name-changing at this point so we'll ...

It's a logical pattern for them to follow tbh. There are only 3 basic situations that can occur if you ignore the up/down price direction : trend into opposite trend, trend into consolidation, consolidation into trend. Keep in mind what an ADX ...

It's worth it to glance at the thread title and eliminate the humorous stuff, you're left with 'Visual Systems'. Asking for exact numbers is a bit like trying to buy gasoline in an apple orchard (I did once buy apples at a gas station though). ...

Hi pipskateer, I'm a great fan of money and risk management theory myself, and have been struggling with implementing them in this method as well. Where I'm at now : -try to find a large TF setup : H1 or higher -drop down a timeframe and look/wait ...

i sort of agree that the start of an expansion is harder to see, but fxkebab's adx indi's solve that by highlighting the rising lines. According to alien's rules a contraction is ideal when all adx drop below 20 or even 15, so here the fixed level ...

I have them at min=-3, max=100. -3 because it doesn't stick to the bottom of the window (smallest really possible value is zero) 100 because ADX(7) hardly ever reaches it, and the others never do. (I've never seen it so far in any case). I think you ...
