I've been trying something new for a while. Since last spring or so i'd been including the box play setup in my arsenal. Lately i've been testing setups in the Asian session, then leaving audio alerts to set off if a setup takes place, checking it ...

Breakout Strategy - The Pro's Way

The closest i've been to manual-machanical trading is the popular Box Play as taught by John Carter in "Mastering The Trade". It has very defined entry/exit/mm rules and it fits my style of not being in the market for more than a given session/day. ...

Does Mechanical Trading Bring Peace of Mind?

I am currently happy with FXSol and have had a micro account with them since summer of 2005. I became interested in checking out Oanda as i had heard good things on there low spreads during non news times. . . . so today i started up a demo account ...

From Demo to Live: Expecting the unexpected

where will the EURUSD be on Jan1?

Greetings, some of my post here is a repeat from other personal posts on Tom DeMark's concepts. TD will put more emphasis on recent "closes" rather than wick H/Ls and calls this the Magnetic Price, when discussing retracements in particular. It has ...

Very simple method using Mouteki

Thanks for the link Matthew, i enjoyed the read. I can say personaly as a father who successfuly home schooled his two children that parents can play a cirtical role in "creating" experts. Though my two children grew up to enjoy vastly differing ...

The Expert Mind

Greetings, i've been reading with interest as i've also been following Orange's model and been trading box-trade setups for some time. I would like to ad that the swap could really impact the trades negatively also if not closed out before 17:00 EST ...

Absolute Simplest KISS Method. Also, how do we measure risk reward?

Here on the Pacific coast of the US we call it the "Midnite Express" as the London Open takes place at Midnite. I did a manual forward test for a month with more details at this link. I think i've even seen an EA out there for the London Open/Big ...

EA Factory

Very nice concept Palmer. I too have a similar situation in that i've been beat up mentaly and physicaly trying to trade the London session as i'm on the Pacific coast. The thing i find facinating at this juncture is that i have been gravitating ...

How to Become Emotionless

Money out of thin air... : ) — OK, so i've got Phoenix running on a seperate IBFX demo account...I happen to let things roll over to the 1st of the month and wake up to see that the account balance has been taken down to zero (i saved the ...

Phoenix 2007 (new thread)

If you ever have the chance to hear Raghee give her class on her style of trading (i think it's just raghee.com or .net??) you will have a great time. She is a wonderful instructor and has many years of experience. She holds the belief that the ...

Never trade against the larger trend?

Hey you might be onto something there Orange. There might be an additional reason for the ear-close-to-cranium? Maybe it's in part due to the magetic pull from that Vulcan Mind Meld thingy? ---Hey i'm glad to hear you use the 1hr chart also. ...

SRDC Episode I

K.I.S.S. Method

I really think the two of them are related so it would be sort of kissing cousins to marry spock's sister? image waaaay to much time on our hands when watching daily candles. Must get back to watching the hourlies so i can glue myself to the ...

Greetings Al, will you be releasing your settings for the additional pairs you are testing any time soon? I have the EA on the CHF pair at this time and will report in my findings. I've done my best to read each of the threads from beg.to.end that ...

Going Crazy

Greetings c1ro and gang. I almost hesitated posting that particular example. You see it was a trade from an EA i'm testing. It did the trades all on it's own taking out profits at a particular max-profit setting. The freaky thing that took place in ...

5/13/62 Ema

Of late i've been doing some re-reading of Tom DeMark's popular book "The New Science of Technical Analysis". In the area of projecting Take Profit targets, Tom has found that aiming for the recent high "Close" (or the recent low's "Close") rather ...

SRDC Episode I

OK, all in favor of Orange taking a day off from EA coding raise their hands. I think he's loosing it cuz he's mixing up is story lines. PS. just joking. Always enjoy your ideas Orange. Keep up the good work even though you are a bit crazed ...
