Yes... But what indicators is the bird using?

I believe MB Trading offers a service to have your box at their premises.

If you switch to scaling up by a single lot, you could hit you 150 pip "target" and end up lossing a bunch of money rather than make anything (depending on how many losses you take before quiting). Markets can range for a while.

The way I read it, if price goes against you 50 pips, you are doubling down. If it goes against you again, you continue to up your stake. Trans action costs are 2 pips for the initial position, then ig oes against you and you have 2 + 4 = 6pips, it ...

The problem with these kinds of ideas are the transaction costs and the small profits due to the capital you must have to back a martingale type system. If there is no "edge" to your system then you will make your small profits many times, but it's ...

NeoTicker is the best by a long shot IMO.

A lot of people use fibs. That alone makes them significant, even if it is just voodoo.

If you are talking about these systems where you are buying and selling at the same time then all currencies are best traded without a grid trading system.

Yeah, there would be private airports and private/toll roads. Both of which exist (in addition to public) near me.

NeoTicker does provide backfill for tick data. Data is not continually added to their backfill server, so you need to wait for the end of the day to get backfilled for todays data. And they only provide the last 120 days of data.

Yeah, maybe my eyes are bad, but it looks like frankfurt open is about 1.7977 and "range low" is 1.7958

The BB article is describing a double head fake which I don't seem happening very often. It says you need to look for atleast 25 pip down move for a new low, then atleast a 25 pip move above the open, and then entry at 7 pips below the initial low ...

Right, I figured that discussion was settled. Of course there's always the fine print, past performance is no guarantee of future results. Personally I would rather base my decisions on tons of stat data, rather than shooting from the hip. You've ...

Curve fitting is not a good idea. Basically you are shaping your system around your expectations and not how the market is behaving. If you backtest and your equity goes up nice and steady without any dips (only some flat spots) over a long period ...

This is good advice to consider, but not always true. Spreads and commissions do factor into this. When doing backtesting, factoring in zero cost for spreads/comm then what you say is virtually always true. Factor in those cost and trading tight may ...

You should check out neoticker, they support momentum bars as well as quite a few other rarely supported bars. Plus it's a great platform.

If I see crazy drawdowns and crazy profits, I first suspect the system is "curve fitting" the back test data. Good to have previously untested data to confirm your system. When you start adding filters to the mix you are even more in danger of curve ...

Breakouts of GBP/USD on the London open seem pretty mechanical and back test very well.

It's only morally wrong for governments to put their people in situations where us fortunate traders can take advantage of them. The arguement is that pros out weight the cons, but reality is they just want some immediate relief, even though they ...

The reason crossovers don't always work is because you are only looking at 2 or 3 MAs. What if the MAs you are looking at signal a buy and another trader using different MAs sees a sell? One of you will be wrong. I find it more useful to look at ...
