nubcake, we are on the same page. I am just obviously not very good at explaining myself. What you have said in the above post is pretty much exactly what I have also discovered and what I was trying to articulate. It's the relationship between ...

nubcake, thank you for coming back to this thread and attempting to answer my question. It's nice to see someone on the forum attempt to highlight why other answer's are wrong, and to offer an alternative instead of merely coming in and informing ...

Thanks for the input. That will certainly give me something else to consider in the equation. I've heard a lot about triangular arbitrage but never really paid any attention to it. I can immediately see that combined with the understanding of the ...

It's not that my understanding of currency valuation is flawed as such, more that I clearly did not pose my initial question in a manner which correctly reflected what I wanted to know. My fault entirely for confusing the issue. My question is ...

I think I understand what you were getting at now. Yes, I agree, in a speculative trade I will first buy a currency, and later sell the same currency (or vice versa). I misinterpreted your meaning by thinking you were somehow claiming that in one ...

Ishii1, I think we may be in danger of going off topic with this, but I have to address some of what you said. If I sell 1 Billion EUR against the USD, the price is much more likely to go down as I claim, rather than up as you claim. I am selling ...

I may be about to come unstuck here and have to go back to the drawing board for everything I ever thought I knew about trading currencies.........but I think you are 100% wrong here. If I buy the EUR against the GBP, I am not only buying the EUR, I ...

I think I may be coming across a little too naive as if I have no grasp of the basics. I actually think my question is a little more deep that may appear at first glance. I realise that when I buy EURJPY, I am not having any direct relationship or ...

I think this is precisely what I've been looking for, thank you. I'm amazed at my own naivety and lack of knowledge sometimes. I'm trading for a living in a market that I clearly do not really understand other than at the most superficial level. So ...
- Why such strong correlation of pairs?
This isn't as simple a question as it first appears. I am struggling to understand why individual ...

For anyone who's interested, I've attached what appears to be a fixed version of what I posted above. This one uses "dots" for the trailing stop instead of lines, and will appear instantly in the opposite side of price if the the opposite stop is ...
- ATR Trailing stop loss indicator
Just wondering if anyone knows of an indicator similar to the one posted below? This one paints a ...

Reres, I haven't followed this thread too closely since it started venturing further and further in to the absurd, so forgive me if I have missed anything important since my last visit. I'm not sure if you saw my post here: url I get the ...

Reres, Having read more of your posts, I think maybe I'm understanding your take on technical analysis, and please correct me if I am wrong. I am wholeheartedly with you in the belief that TA as is most commonly interpreted by amateur retail traders ...

I've been trading this strategy on a full time basis live for a little over 3 years. There is no doubt that with such tight initial stop loss levels and break even point, that the spread becomes incredibly expensive. My thought process on this ...

I'm still hoping this thread can find it's way back to addressing the original question rather than the back and forth blind arguments about who is right or wrong about TA, PA, or FA. So let me briefly touch on what I think amounts to the "edge" in ...
- flotsom replied Aug 5, 2011
Hi Reres, Like you, I have never found any statistical edge as such, in terms of a higher percentage probability of price going x number of pips in one direction before it goes x number of pips in the other direction based on a supposed pattern on ...

Thanks for the help FutureSpec. I thought it worked until I turned off one of the currency lines, and the zero line shifted. I think you were right in your first assessment that this is not possible due to the way the indicator calculates and ...

Thanks for the help, but I get the errors "gwin" and "dow" variables are not defined when I compile to check for errors. Please don't worry too much about this as I don't want to put you or anyone else out. This zero line is just a nice extra if ...
- flotsom replied Jul 11, 2011
Yes I've thought the same kind of thing because there is no fixed maximum or minimum points. However, the bar chart definitely must use a zero point in order to determine whether a bar is displayed as red or green. After all the zero point is ...
