Not until the trend has already used most of it, no. The divergence between the 2 MAs is effectively the strength of the trend past. Altho it can be quantified by using the MA it's resting on as a measure. Nah. I've had really good luck w/ a 3 EMA ...

MA Cross Optimization EA (very cool)

All of the above? I look at the monthly and weekly to get the dominate trend, at the daily to see any changes and if the trend's still going, at the H1 to figure out what's happening lately and to look for entry points and lower TFs like M15, M5 and ...

In general, What Time Frame do you mostly use to trade?

Laff, it'd have to still be called a dollar. No way the word "Amero" would float w/ the public. Call it "The North American Dollar" and I bet you'd have some takers tho. Personally I don't care, it would help to stabilize the currency a bit tho, but ...

North american union currency ?

Bad for oil, bad for the USD.

Israel vs Iran - good or bad for USD

Right now the best time for the USDJPY has been during the US session, last friday it was earlier in the US session, today it started around 10am and went till around 3pm, so the specific times can vary quite a bit. Last month it was bursting mostly ...

Free study materials for Series 3?

At least it provides some stability. I don't see share-holder owned as a bad thing, it's better than gov't owned.

Helicopter Ben to the rescue!

Hehe, just goes to proof the effects of trend persistency on the monthly charts. They are remarkably smooth. Tweak idea... put your entry order above or below the last monthly bar and put an SL of about 100 pips. If you get stopped out just put ...

Monthy EURUSD Strategy (since 1989)

Yea, seems like Fannie's about to get a bit of a spanking, eh?

IndyMac...and Cheese

It's possible provided you have the margin remaining, lol. Actually it's the natural state of MT4, it doesn't check for existing trades by default... altho it's easy to get it to. Of course such a thing is dangerous, since it will just keep opening ...

Heeeelllppp!!!!!!

ROFL, and at some point all of those folks are going to blow their account... because they're trading their thoughts and not the market. It doesn't matter what we think will occur, what matters is what is occurring right now... and whether we're ...

Do you believe in divergence?

Aint that the truth. If I could travel back to the past I'd be rich as sin.

Do you believe in divergence?

I think he means max trade size is 50 standard lots. I don't think a person worried about micro lots needs to worry about that tho, lol.

Micro Lot

No more so than anything else.

Do you believe in divergence?

I don't see stop hunting there. I see a sudden drop of 40 pips on the Oanda feed during a volatile NFP release. That's called slippage, it happens to everyone, and it's a completely different problem than stop hunting. If you trade the news and are ...

Oanda Stop Hunting?

If it only works with specific settings then clearly the EA needs some work. You aren't the first person to toss out an EA concept because of poor performance over time.

Hedge me out :D

Slippage is very common, sure, but the point of an entry order like a limit order or a stop order (assuming that's what you're talking about) is to limit the amount of slippage during volatile times. Most brokers allow you to set a window to define ...

Where to file complaints and/or claims against brokers?

Easy proof... pull up the EURUSD or the GBPUSD, pull up standard pivot points and watch how often price stalls or reverses at one of the R or S levels intra-day. It's a case of running w/ the herd, big money does it and price often follows these ...

Is it possible to make 20k to 70k in short time (7 weeks)?

Oh, well... there's probably been 1 person in the entire history of the world that's managed to luck into a streak like that. But yea, it's not something that's going to happen frequently and we sure as heck shouldn't plan on it. LOL, good luck w/ ...

Is it possible to make 20k to 70k in short time (7 weeks)?

But with scaled lots like that pip gain is meaningless since the dollar per pip is changing with every lot change. If you open 3 lots, to get the numbers mentioned, you'd have gone up a ways, then back down and reversed past your entry At 100 you ...
