Hi all. BK good point on your post above. One thing i do on my charts is to change the forground color on a given chart to give me a quick visual as to which side the swap is positive. For instance on a sell positive i will tint the forground color ...

Weekly Charts Trading system-picking tops and bottom

I've spent my career in retail (30+yrs) and though i've just recently begun looking at charts (2000 ish for stocks) i can state from recollection (nothing scientific) that 'generaly' prices begin to creep up before Memorial Day (last week in May) ...

hang in there Hello1234 : ) — Hey i can tell you that making money is now taking a back seat to having a life for me! I'm burnt out on the intraday trading models. Sure i'm still drawn to that favorite 15m chart. . . but i can state that i've ...

The Concept of 3D Charting.

Greetings. I have read through the thread and i understand the concept of what is being attempted and i like the idea as it meshes with my compulsion to breakout trading. One the difference between the three indicators in post 1 that have been ...

NFP System - Backtest data provided

I noticed after my post above there were a slurry of other great posts. Tom, great stuff. Peter, thx for sharing your trade entries and insights. Vlad, yes on the % to risk, low leverage will allow one to keep in the fight longer. And RD, spot on ...

Trading for living only using daily charts or higher...

Very true. And while i would never hint that a particular lifestyle that i might find satisfying and enjoyable could be so for another, i can state for myself i see many wonderful possibilities that take little income to sustain. For instance, my ...

Trading for living only using daily charts or higher...

Greetings : ) I think i read about 200+ posts by Jacko today and enjoyed each one, thx for your time and insights Jacko! Some might have read a few of my recent posts and realized this month is a right of passage of sorts for me...i realized that my ...

Jacko's Forex House of Pleasure and Pain

I can see Spock on the other side of the glass wall..."The Needs of the Many outweigh the Needs of the One". grin. To much time on my hands now that i'm trading off the longer term charts. : ) Thom

80/20 Rule!

I think your advice is sound, and thx! I've actually taken a two week "vacation" from trading just to break the mental/physical ties i had to the shorter term chart trading. I've been primarily observing the 4hr and daily charts since mid April, and ...

Using the Same System for a Year or Longer?

I resemble that remark. but i do have a smile on my face in the morning. haha. Now that is worth saying again! I'm not quite there yet as it still gets under my skin when i close out a loss, and then see the currency trading beyond my original ...

How do you curb your urge?

Thanks aqibsherwani, very interesting concept. I'll begin forward testing this week. I like the idea of having an EA running along side of my live trading with a portion of an additional account set aside for EA use. Cheers, Thom

Expert Advisor Strategy

RD, happy to see you around posting again, and that all is well. I enjoyed our times in the 3d chat world long ago! I agree with what both Peters stated above. I'm doing my best to filter out the "noise". One thing that i've recently come across ...

Too much reading?

LOL, yea and remember to turn your pillow speaker off (i'm not kidding!). I was in a trade one time and forgot my chart alarms were set to go off at a level i'd set, had the FM transmitter on the computer spitting out "Rising Price Alert" out to all ...

How do you curb your urge?

I do like the rainbow LT. . . and your use of it on the 5 second charts are very cool. I have the Guppy DVDs and enjoyed the study/insights he gave to the model/use of the MMAs. . . . a tanget and look behind the scenes : ) I've come to a juncture ...

Using the Same System for a Year or Longer?

Good post D. Looking back on my entry into FX i do get a bit ruffled around the edges when i recall the "easy money" hype that lured me into this profession. Unfortunately i was duped into a firm (now defunct based in Canada) that was also MLM based ...

80/20 Rule!

Now why would anyone do that!? GRIN. OK really, the only thing i've seen remain consistantly profitable and withstood the test of time is naked price action and trend line and S/R analysis. Systems come and go, but candles/bars remain. : ) Thom

Using the Same System for a Year or Longer?

C.E.O. thx for the time you've put into your "hack" ; ) I do like the idea of a variable S/L and T/P rather than a rigid set. . . though it does appear the Sky sure has found a groove with the rigid-set and the PoundYen pair. I've got the ATR ...

Daily Scalping EA - Discussion Thread
