Thanks for the reply... I did in fact email them. Their response was that they have a volatility algorithm that detects periods of high volatility and during those periods they reduce leverage to 1:200. This is ridiculous though because there was no ...

Margin Requirement Issue

Good advice. So perhaps the answer is not so much another indicator to pair with divergences, but rather matching divergences with those on higher timeframes. I don't trade indices, so don't necessarily think the vix considerations would dictate ...

What To Pair Divergence With?

Here's a couple of my charts... One winner, one loser. I use a PPO divergence, a MACD divergence, and a Volume divergence. When all of these line up, I look for a divergence on RSI as well.

What To Pair Divergence With?

Sounds like a reasonable approach, but perhaps a little more suited to higher timeframes... Personally, I trade on the 5-minute charts and am targeting reversals in the 20 pips or so range. Also, as I target smaller moves on the lower timeframe - ...

What To Pair Divergence With?

Gotcha. Thanks for your help!

I will code your EAs and Indicators for no charge

I understand. I was just taking a look and noticing that if you were to only trade the candle immediately after the arrow, it's most often in the same direction. Wasn't going for more than that. But I'm assuming it wouldn't be possible?

The attached indicator has an issue with the signal arrows and alerts executing 1 candle later than they should be. I was curious to see if anyone could fix these issues and, if possible, add a mobile alert (push notification) option? I would be ...

Trying to Build an EA

Uhh... I... just did. I'm open to the idea of using ATR... How exactly would you incorporate it?

Highly Aggressive Grid Trading

I'm a little confused why you're so insistent on number form only. A number by itself only gives you the overall strength. It doesn't tell you the momentum of that strength (slope of the line) or the history of it. The number on its own is ...

no regulations stopping US residents from opening offshore accounts

Yes, I know. I forgot to maximize the screen last time lol. And yes, the Friday strength didn't last but I was able to grab some pips before the party ended. And funny you should mention that, because this morning's trade was short the NZD/USD for ...

currency strength meter

Depends on your objective really. If you are going for significant moves, then no I wouldn't advise this. If you're looking for a way to target strongly trending pairs in order to grab a small amount of pips... it's actually been quite accurate. ...

currency strength meter

I trade using a currency strength meter I found on Trading View. It's called 8 Pair Strength. I usually trade it at the beginning of the NY open, and I'm generally looking for both positioning AND slope of the lines. I would rather trade a pair with ...

currency strength meter

This is a great point. As we can see with the benefit of hindsight, the trade did not work out. When you look on the Daily TF you can see where price fell to the 365 EMA and consolidated there. I think this is an important thing to look out for if ...

4 Hour Strategy (MACD)

I may have just picked the wrong pairs (or wrong time) to test. Currently, -1,150 pips in drawdown with the Hybrid NN nearly all of which is on USD/CHF and USD/JPY

Thanks for the detailed explanation. So am I right in assuming that your Magic 7 pairs are E/U, G/U, A/U, E/J, G/J, G/A, E/A ...?

Lost Sock Evolution - Automated

I have an idea for an EA that I have tried to develop myself but have failed miserably in doing so The idea is to trade hammer/shooting star type candles. The rules would be as follows: For Long (H1 timeframe) - MACD (12,26,1) value must be ...

Agreed... I'm in the same situation with USD/CHF as you seem to be with EUR/NZD... Two trades opened yesterday morning that are -140 pips and 3 more yesterday evening that are -100, for a total of -240 pips floating on that pair. From what I can ...

Lost Sock Evolution - Automated

Looks to me like a bullish correction that is about to bounce off the 50% fibbo and will continue down. Or maybe that is just wishful thinking We’ll see.
