I don't even try to seriously sweat trading anymore although I do have a couple mini practice accounts I play with. I simply leave the real trading up to an ea I made. Last week it did really well and this week it ingeniously stood aside. I love ...

well this last one hasn't but that doesn't mean his system does not work but it does mean it's not 100%. Possibly 99%

Well... I guess you can say "all trades are good" if your name is Warren Buffett but since mine is lil'ol TraderJoe I can't trade these kinds of dd's and make money too. But it's still fun watching TJ

The final Holy Grail

What I don't understand is why some people have such a hard time believing someone might know something they do not know. You have to be a born idiot or plain young and nieve to think this. All over this forum there are posts asking no begging; is ...

The final Holy Grail

Hi swissforex, I've been working at finding something that really works for almost 10 years now. I hate to say that because it makes me look so stupid. In the end it has paid off but what if it did not? After all, who would stay in a business like ...

Trade Using VSA (Volume Spread Analysis)

A good no demand bar not only has volume lower than the previous 2 bars but should not only be lower than the average line but very low. When you see a nd bar that has considerable volume in it -like this one- it shows a level of demand still exists ...

Hi Raymond, hey that was a nice trade. Weakness in the background started back at the 1&2 top reversal and while price was trying to climb back up you can see most candles closed way off the highs whie the spreads got smaller and smaller strong ...

Re: post #3 Assuming you mean bar A is the bar just before bar #1: On this chart you missread the background, explained. Bar A does show weakness because it together with the blue bar just before it is a top reversal pattern (even though it is not). ...
