AlienFrog replied Jul 9, 2011Here's one I use: Round Numbers 5 Digit. It's simple and basic. It also helps me eyeball price ranges quickly. Change the "grid space" to 50 and it shows only 100's. Change it to 25 and it shows 50's and 100's. I don't know why those numbers, I ...

AlienFrog replied Jul 9, 2011In fact I take the daily trend into account but I do not use this rule as hard and fast as the others. It depends on the other basic forex stuff - are we at S/R, is there momentum, etc. In this case if you zoom out on your daily chart you will see ...

AlienFrog replied Jul 9, 2011So many good things in your post! As you say we have all heard this. But it also tells us that 5% do make money. Are the 5% just luckier than the 95%? What is their secret? You just gave away the secret, but it's a secret 95% will refuse to accept. ...

AlienFrog replied Jul 8, 2011One more important thing to consider with multiple trades is this: do the pairs tend to move together? For example, the Three Amigos (EU, GU and AU) often tend to move together. So if you are in one trade in each of the Amigos, and it goes against ...

AlienFrog replied Jul 6, 2011I'm still in this trade. The7 are you still planning to cash out around .8940? It's trying to get below .8950 now. It bounced off this level a few weeks ago as resistance in the bull run, and it may turn into support now. I think if it breaks with ...

AlienFrog replied Jul 5, 2011I use this one that shows the "Round Numbers." I find it useful to see pa approaching a RN, and to eyeball price distances on the chart. It draws a horizontal line at each round number. You can change the "grid space" setting to 250, 500, etc., to ...
