AlienFrog replied Jan 7, 2012SO TRUE!! I go through the exact same thoughts. I would guess most traders do. Two things have helped me recently: 1. I think about how I will feel after the trade closes if A) I am wrong and I get out at BE, B) if I am right and I get out at BE, or ...

AlienFrog replied Dec 22, 2011BigT, just wanted to thank you for posting Clay's videos. I can't get to the chat room every day and I don't want to miss any. Do you plan to always post them here, or will Clay post them somewhere else?

AlienFrog replied Dec 22, 2011I woke up this morning and saw all this. KK I did not mean to start an argument! I'm really sorry if this happened. Everything I write in these threads is for two reasons: 1) to help me figure out trading for myself, and 2) to try to help others ...

AlienFrog replied Dec 21, 2011Thanks, rtrs. Sounds like approx. 2 + spread. That's a good entry plan. When I get to my backtesting I'll use 2 + spread and see how that looks.

AlienFrog replied Dec 21, 2011The 35/50 was NOT flat, they had been turning down for the last 3 bars. Even though they were not steep, those 3 bars made a definite downtrend, clearly reversing the previous uptrend. The 35 and 50 MAs were also close together - only 4.5 pips ...

AlienFrog replied Dec 21, 2011Hey guys are you using a 2 pip SL, or a 2 pip + spread SL? I can't imagine it does not include the spread, but it's often very small at that time of day I have to ask to be sure. Thanks!

AlienFrog replied Dec 21, 2011Wow did you see the beautiful EU setups that I just missed! GRR! A PERFECT H1 bounce, confluent with H4 10 and DP. At the moment of entry it would have looked like big momentum south, so you would have had to just close your eyes and jump in, and ...

AlienFrog replied Dec 16, 2011It looks like you are talking about the Serpent's Tongue! Your pic is a perfect setup - a few minutes later, if price goes down, the MA will then move down to touch the wick of that candle. But it does not touch when price is at that level, so by ...

AlienFrog replied Dec 16, 2011KK you are right about that. However they are beginning to turn down and they are together. I remember reading in the Choros thread that this is a good setup if the other factors are in place. There is probably a link in the TOC doc. Keep at it ...

AlienFrog replied Dec 15, 2011Arokh, BTW, that was a nice trade! Beautiful Dance trade! Beginning of trend established, first retrace and touch of 35/50, and you got 30 pips! Wash, rinse, repeat.

AlienFrog replied Dec 11, 2011Please realize that I posted these results 1) to show that I got the EA to run, and 2) to ask questions about it, like why the lot size changes. This is NOT a good backtest. There is a lot of work to do before that will be possible. Yes, this was ...

AlienFrog replied Dec 9, 2011Nice job, SmartGXL! I've been thinking about exit strategies and how to make consistent pips on smaller wins, which happen more often, without sacrificing the big wins that happen less frequently. Since we were only 6 pips short of the +140 EPIC win ...
