How to stop bailing out potential trades

You are scared of losing now, so you take quick profits and hang onto losers. Work on your exits. Exits work for both profit and stopping losses. If you can limit your losses, and instead hold onto the winners a bit longer, you can turn it around. ...

8 Years Later - Still Not Winning

While the new computers are awesome, first try this, because I doubt you need very much history to make your trades. Go to TOOLS / OPTIONS / CHARTS / and change "Max bars in history" and "Max bars in chart". I only use 600 and 600 and my meta trader ...

I added a period setting and converted it to show 30M by eliminating the Daily. Since you want to see a 30M, then you probably don't need a Daily. It was easier just to shift them. I noticed he uses levels 15, 23, and 28. If you don't want to use ...

MTF ADX for all pairs

What is the best settings for "center of gravity" indicator

What indicator is best for gaging the volatility of a swing?

Nice to hear about your progress. As for the MACD, I meant use the settings you discovered for your MA, not 12/26/9, unless that is what you using. For instance, instead of 12, you might use 1, 2, or 3. You are looking for something to confirm the ...

You are welcome and I hope you understand the technique. Presumably you are using a moving average on your chart, so that is 1. Then you are probably using an oscillating indicator so you can track apexes, so that is 2. You can use any other ...
