You need to be more specific man. What are you overloaded from? too many indicators? too many fundamental data? too many different TA systems? Please elaborate a little bit more.

Help@ info overload!

Abobtrader, I think fundamental analysis is one of the most dificult fields in forex trading, thus any possible light anyone (in this case yourself) could cast upon the subject should be very welcome. As far as I am concern, I found your writing ...

Thanks James. Do you usually use the same formula as for daily pivots? and do you trade them the same way as daily pivot? Monthly pivots are new to me and Im still experimenting with them.

Monthly pivots

My advice: the sooner you realize that indicators are not the key to trading, the better. Besides that, work on your patience and discipline. Those two ARE more crucial than any MA crossover.

Keeping it Simple

Yes. but ranges, just like wedges (example: wolf waves) do tend to spike above the channel borders before deciding the final direction of the breakout. That's why you want to wait for the breakout confirmation before jumping in.

I find indicators useless for entry, and even more so for exit. Exit, in my opinion, should be exclusively dictated by price projections (such as fibonacci) and specially by significant support/resistance levels (trendlines, pivots, previous ...

Starting off with a mini account (even if you have the finantial capacity of kicking off with a larger sum) is a good idea in order to introduce you to the discipline and emotions of real-money trading. If you cannot build up a $1,000 to $10,000, ...

JohnFX, you seem to be falling in the same problem I incur in my intraday trading myself (I dont scalp though, my trades are a little bit longer): a couple of stoploss hits and I ruin the last fistful of trades. My win/loss % is certainly positive, ...

Holiday trading equals to low volume, which equals to range-bound and erratic charts and, as a by-product, out-of-the-blue nasty spikes. Moral: stay out of the market during Christmas and August.

As I said in the John Carter thread a while ago, I think his way of trading channel breakouts is utterly bollocks because in the long run you get eaten by fake breakouts. You OUGHT to wait for a consequent channel breakout confirmation (and in the ...

8th of December, 2005 - 6:50 am EST A pretty similar set up like we saw two days ago on the GBPUSD 4H (see GBPUSD chart thread) is developping right now on AUDUSD weekly chart. There is a confluence of resistance gathering up around 0.7550 with the ...

December the 8th, 2005 - 5:40am EST Well, there has been a weird 100-pip spike in the GBPUSD 240m that stopped me out at B/E. No money lost on this trade, but it's quite a shame, this one was looking like a real winner
