Change a losing system into a Winning system

I understand what you're saying, it's been tried... doesn't work. Mostly because price doesn't move in a straight line. But also because a lot market movement is purely random. Take an EA sometime and try it. Doesn't have to be a total loser, just ...

No idea, and I'm sure it'd be wrong anyway. But this particular move has been anticipated for over a year, and in the works for several more. As currency prices effect commodity prices more and more (bad dollar policy, sadly) we should expect ...

Yeh, but in all fairness you don't really need to know what's happening at the macroeconomic level. What's been happening will tend to happen, so if the dollar has been getting weaker it'll tend to do so until it finally stops. You don't have to ...

Reading next day high / low

Hahaha... if only. Don't forget the exclusion principle . I wonder if you managed to entangle every bit of yourself if you'd survive the process, or whether what came out would be more blob than human. The problem with superpositioning is that the ...

Simple question! NobuyersNosellers!!

You can't prove a double negative. Scientifically, we require repeatable evidence in order to support a claim. I have never seen repeatable evidence that says you can predict tomorrow's direction by looking at today. I have, however, seen a large ...

Reading next day high / low

Repeat after me: I do not need to predict tomorrow in order to make money today. There is no way to reliably predict action in the market outside of the immediate scope. A trend is just a trend until it isn't, all that really matters is what the ...

I find that magic works pretty well. A little voodoo here and there.

Depends on whether you mean effective leverage or actual account leverage. It also depends on whether you're funding your account fully or just up to what you trade. Actual account leverage doesn't matter at all, IBFX gives me some ungodly amount of ...

These are people that don't trust that you're smart enough to do anything, and don't think it's worth the risk to let you try. If you're worried about it then you'll need to setup a company off-shore and trade thru that. I've already got my plan ...

It's been coming a long time now. They'll start at 100:1, then they'll tighten it down by degrees.

Oh yeh, you aren't kidding. It's so easy to feel strongly about something, and have it come crashing down... Nod. Which is why I think even the best fundie traders use TA to time their entries to the degree they can. But hey, to each their own, ...

trading with fundamentals is the only way to go

Uhm, no. Crude is based on supply and demand. As the price goes too high, alternates become more feasible. There's all sorts of crude that becomes viable at $100/bl, and if gasoline gets to $5/gal we're going to see all sorts of new technologies ...

Well there's not much to it... // Define this at the top int TF = 60; // Outside at the top someplace datetime last_bar; // Before the main routine... if ((iTime(Symbol(), TF, 1) == last_bar) { return(0); } else { last_bar = iTime(Symbol(), TF, 1); ...
