Holy Cow replied Jul 5, 2012I agree that trading according to Hector's method is better than without method at all. Kind of put back bone into trading when to trade and when not to. With enough patience I think it is a profitable method. I would add that newbies would be ...

Holy Cow replied Jul 5, 2012Shomari, I have been following this thread since 2010, so I have seen few good traders who were posting trades and set ups not exactly by Hector. Hector is not exactly a Livermore in my mind. It is always good to learn other ways cause you never ...

Holy Cow replied Jul 4, 2012Kumar, I wonder, what reason did you have to short these 2 pairs at this time? I did short cad/jpy a couple of days ago but there was a double top and signal to short which got broken....but at the moment both pairs are making new highs and show no ...

Holy Cow replied Jul 4, 2012This is the problem I see with Hector's approach. Now you entered trade few pips away from support. in most cases this trade will go straight against you while actual signal to go short was 3 days ago and 60+ pips better price. Hector's uses slow ...

Holy Cow replied Jun 29, 2012Yes, I also agree. But some things cannot be backtested as tonight move. current problem with many pairs that they got stuck between all those long term s/r levels. take for example gbp/usd. funny situation, it is within 50 pips s/r range. however, ...

Holy Cow replied Jun 28, 2012well, I think that if it is some system with positive expectancy than each signal should be taken cause we have no idea what market will do after we enter trade. in my case I have 2 signals, one is to start watching for trade short or long and then ...
