Chaikin recommends using it with a moving average or band system. It's also possible to draw trendlines across the flat parts of the indicator and look for a breakout, but it's best not used as a standalone indicator. That's about the only ways that ...

Chaikin's Volatility Indicator question?

Demo trading is useful to learn to operate the platform. It will not show you how well you will do in the real market. I did very well with the demo (500 - 1000 pips/week). Using the same system the real market ate me up. I did about 5 months on ...

When do you know you ready to go from demo to real trading?

I've traded Forex since May. What I've discovered is that the fewer indicators on the chart, the better I do. I've always used indicators to trade stocks, and they seem to work decently there. They just don't move fast enough for Forex. When you get ...

Call me stupid - Indicator discovery

I think it's FATL and SATL. The crosses look like good signals, but I suspect you would get whipsawed to death in a flat market just trading those. Trading when the fast line crosses the slow line would be the standard strategy with just the two ...

How to Build a Trading System around these Lines

Basically it's just trading the cross of the 6 period triangular moving average. Unlike the real Heiken Ashi, I don't think the length of the wicks means anything with this indicator. Try putting a 6 period, .3 T3 on the chart with it . I think ...

HAS Indicator - Misc indicators & EA's

It works in Tlatomi because it's used with the Ergodic CCI cross. By itself, it is very dangerous to trade. I've used it. It gives signals way to early unless you confirm with another indicator. I would suggest sticking with Tlatomi.

SHI Backtesting

MAs are good trend following tools, but trading MA crosses by other MAs or by price is not by definition trend following. Biggest problem with MAs is not lag, but inappropriate application. As far as I can see there are two legitimate ways to trade ...

Why exactly do EMA crossover systems not work?

Countertrend trades — Looking for a bounce off a bollinger in the countertrend direction can be a tricky way to trade. I usually use an indicator like Accumulation Distribution or Momentum with a 10,1 bollinger applied to the indicator for an ...

Method BB

Not sure why. It's the same one I use all the time. You can get it by looking for Akuma99's Not So Squeezy method here on the forum.

Method BB

This one by Akuma99 will let you set fractional deviations.

Method BB

Can't say I've seen many Bollinger systems here. Looks interesting. I may be able to find something to add to my own three bollinger system (20,2; 10,.8; 10, .1). Thanks for posting it.

Method BB

From reading your pdf, it appears that your signal is price crossing the purple line? My understanding of Ichimoku is that trades happen when the turning line crosses the standard line, which appears to be later in some cases than your entry. Maybe ...

The Kinko Method

Part of the reason for the lack of response is that it's a moving average crossover system. There are lots of these around, and they all have the same problem. Whipsaw. They work, if the market is trending, and profits can be impressive. If it's ...

My 1 hour system, but I need YOUR help!

Well having tried a lot of mechanical systems over the years, I can say that none works that well. They generate signals, but only the human brain can interpret the story of the chart. Indicators used in a purely mechanical way cannot do that. My ...

Think Outside the Box

Filtered candles — For a really simple system that use the daily chart but doesn't necessarily trade daily, you might try filtering candlesticks with an indicator. This is an original idea. It comes from Greg Morris's book on candlesticks. He ...

who knows profitable daily system

I've tried them. They are based on averages and therefore are a lot like MAs. That also means they lag somewhat. Mostly I think they get used with Ichimoku. Dan Valcu is the man on these. You might want to check his site. I can't post the link, but ...

Does anyone use the heiken ashi indicator?

Daily here. The short term charts make me nervous to watch, and I lose money almost every time with them. With the daily I look once per day, put in my trades using stop and limit orders and forget it until the next evening. That way I can't pull ...

The Daily charts are KEY

Ergodic CCI — I don't know anything about the SHI channels, but the ergodic cci is used to trade the CCI Hook from Extreme (HFE) pattern. The cross of the ergodic is a more accurate indicator of when to trade than the CCI hook, which may occur ...

SHI Channel and Sniper CCI Trigger explain?

When things don't go right, we always assume that the reason lies in our knowledge of trading, indicators, and etc. It's not about knowing more about indicators and technical analysis. It's always about knowing yourself. Trading forex like the stock ...

more knowledge more problems

Moving averages are ok, if you want to follow the trend. Most people try to trade the crosses. Apparently forgetting that when moving averages cross there is no trend. This leads to whipsaws, and the generally bad reputation of moving averages as a ...
