or when someone introduces the very colourful LSMA to work out the trend and then the arguments begin about whether 14 or 21 is the best setting.... clean charts, no indi's, no divergance, no stochs.... just a fib tool

try my post #632 on trading forex using Gartley Patterns for basic intro points to the experts of harmonic's... if you look at posts 637, 638, 650, 652, & 657 you can see how you establish a harmonic trade set-up and can either do two things, enter ...

yeah, the gartley stuff looks a bit spacey when you first dig into it with all the fibs, but actually is quite basic, and allows you to plan trades and levels, and the 1-2-3 helps on some entries. Gartley actually was one of the original guys to ...

1) you can adjust the fbs yourself manually, just go to 'fibo properties'and add/delete to your needs 2) no offense to paulus but the spread shops will be quoting wider than MT4 unless your with a bucketshop broker, the spreads will be narrower with ...

if you haven't seen this spreadsheet, it is handy for working out the number of lots you need, micro, mini or standard. you can use it as just one position, or divided up into 1/3'rds and you need to be aware of the base currency (so if your trading ...

demo accounts can always be renewed, but not your capital why not just demo (using your risk capital as the nominal demo amount) for a couple of months until completely comfortable with it and then go live... there is no expiry date on the fx market

which is exactly why this method works... and when combined with some harmonic patterns and respective PRZ then you wouldn't be selling gbp here sorry i mean gbpjpy nice abcd forming on 4 hour chart (which is a bit off topic for this forum)

yes, I have mentioned this before...on smaller time frames then spread (ie broker becomes critical) so this strategy can have problems on small time frames, broker spreads (entry & exit) so you need to have more liquid markets with narrow spreads if ...

your fib numbers on the retrace are set-up incorrectly, if price moves from 0 to 100 hundred then first retracement is .38% not .62 % just curious why your buy-in point is 5pips higher than the suggested entry point?

The TP is the range from 1 to 2 which is extended from 3, whilst the s/l is the range from 2 to 3 (plus spread on entry and exit). So if all 3's need to retrace to at least .618 and allowing for spread (especially critical on the smaller time frames ...

keep up the good work, You don't need to count the pips, unless they are standardised per R:R. All you need is 60.5% with R:R = 1 and you have a pretty profitable system. Net 8 trades (23 winners - 15 losers) * risk capital% gives you a raw 16% ...

I couldn't be a buyer of this pair. I don't place any credence on a M1 (or even M5,M15) chart in asian time zone (no offence)... a retracement to 84.10 is healthy and you can sell it if it breaks under 83.70 using a basic 1-2-3 entry. There are 4 ...

I see multiple (4) ABCD confluences 84.09-84.38 along different time frames, good luck! I had a sell order at 25 which missed by 5 pips but glad you can take advantage it.
