clockwork71 replied Jul 28, 2007I agree, as I have been getting rid of them.... To be honest, indicators are like crutches for trading, but still offer no real support. The longer I do this, the more I realize that indicators are there just to make you feel safer. If you want ...

clockwork71 replied Jul 28, 2007First thing is first, in general I would agree 100%. But, I would encourage you to spend more time on trend lines, trends, support, resistance, etc. These are the only forward projecting "indicators" in my experience. (Fibonacci is as well, to a ...

clockwork71 replied Jul 28, 2007Here's a strategy: Buy at support, sell at resistance. Sometimes the support or resistance will not hold, but more often than not, it works. Martingale assumes the odds are 50-50.....well I can tell you thats not always the case. So on a 30% chance ...

clockwork71 replied Jul 27, 2007Truthfully, break-even is good after a year. DO NOT start with 20,000. Try out micro accounts first, trust me on this. There is a reason why 95% of the traders out there fail in the first year. Money Management is probably 95% of the reason. You are ...

clockwork71 replied Jul 27, 2007To be honest, I really have never thought about what kind of trader I am....the length of the trade is determined by price action for me. S/R lines as well.....or just plain hitting what I want. Some trades are 5 mins, some 5 hours.....although I ...
