Sauron replied Nov 21, 2009S/R lines will show on all the TF's, as they depend only on the price. I don't consider them chart patterns but more like price action. And they are probably the only technical indicators which can be traded profitably.

Why a chart pattern fails?

Sauron replied Nov 20, 2009What is a chart pattern? Simple, a number of candles which appear in a certain order. But for this you need a certain TF. Go to another TF and you will not see the same pattern. As there's a very big number of TF's, from 1 tick to a month, at every ...

Sauron replied Nov 16, 2009All the traders have heard from the "gurus to be" that they must cut their losses short and let their winnings run. What does this mean? It means that they will have more losses than winnings and the only way they can profit is to win more than they ...
Risk Reward Ratio is not used for making money

Sauron replied Nov 16, 2009Considering the post of Blackeagle, I must repeat that 50 pips in February were only noise because the volatility was more than double as it is now. I'd use at least 100 pips for a bar in February.

Sauron replied Nov 15, 2009You adjust your TP according to the size of your SL. ATR should also work.
If you use a breakout model, how do you determine your TP and SL?
-
Sauron replied Nov 15, 2009A good SL is at the other end of some previous candle. There's no perfect TP target but it should be big enough for a R:R bigger than 1 and don't forget to take some partial profits.

Sauron replied Nov 15, 2009@Razor_trader I don't use this method. Nevertheless, I understand why some traders express their doubt and are searching for more. It insults my intelligence when someone says that this method is perfect and there's nothing you can add to it. My ...

Sauron replied Nov 14, 2009ok, we'll let zebulon to set the most significant round price after the weekly open.
Anyway, the chart will vary becase some broker will quote a price which goes over the 50 pips mark and others will stop at 48 pips and then reverse.50 pips candle system

Sauron replied Nov 14, 2009A good start price will be the weekly open. In this case everybody would look at the same chart, day after day. My 2 cents: Century marks, as 1.6700 currently for cable, have no meaning. Also, if you decide to use some volatility based average ...

Sauron replied Nov 14, 2009This seems a good system but it has 2 points which should be addressed in order to make it more profitable. First, 50 fixed pips are not a healthy target and candle measurement. At the beginning of this year 50 pips were simply noise and I think ...

Sauron replied Nov 10, 2009Maybe you didn't understand my question, so I'll rephrase it. Why is an inside candle so different from other candles and why is its entry point better, if the money come from the very long movements? If I must wait for years to have some profit I ...

Facts: 1. If one trader enters according to the rules he will lose 50% of his trades. This means that the entry is not better than a random one. 2. According to both of them, you must keep the trades as long as possible ...Peter Crowns or TheRealThing: One Question only

Sauron replied Nov 9, 2009It doesn't make sense, you'll introduce randomness in old prices and they are not random at all. At the end you'll have no market but artificially data which is neither random nor real. I suppose your strategy has some parameters, in this case ...

Sauron replied Nov 5, 2009It is great that you've made such an analysis but this chart is randomly generated.

Sauron replied Nov 5, 2009Thanks for your answer, you trade as I supposed, tipically support and resistance. Now, I would like your opinion regarding this chart. I use the same configuration as you do, EMA 365 is blue, EMA 150 is pink, EMA 25 is black. Do you see the same ...
