Yes, minimum 1 pip k. So > 1 pip included too. And yes, never trade TZs alone is good advice. Always combine with other TA. About the rare event of the zone not being recurrent after 24h or more, the point I was making was that it's not a rare event ...

AUD.USD was taking too long to move so I came out +10, just before it dropped 90 more! And I missed my pending re-entry of USD.JPY at 112.50 by a few pips too But re-entered USD.JPY long on the break of 113, as promised, and also ...

Hey Bill, thanks. Hope you've been well. Looks like you're trading great at the moment! Just a friendly warning about the M1 TZ trade you mentioned above. h-left=10 and h-right=1440, with k-min=1, does indeed produce a fantastic hit rate of > 98%. ...

Thanks. I took profit at 113 though, just in case. Will long again if it reaches 112.50, and/or breaks 113 decisively. Gold was a good run but only low leverage ETFs because I wasn't trading actively until recently. But even with ETFs it was well ...

Hey Jay, congratulations on your yen trades. I missed those unfortunately, but have been doing very well with gold since last November Just want to say that I'm long USD.JPY now from 111.70. Not totally convinced that the bottom is in but the ...

Jay's High Probability Setups

Thank you very much. Your answers are very interesting! I've heard it usually takes about 200 attempts to yield just one consistently profitable trading robot, so hats off to you for all the hard work. Plenty more questions but I'll hang fire for ...

Trading the "Dirty Dozen"

I've been battling with BADL Version 2 for the last few days. It's been there or thereabouts for a while, but not quite perfect. The reason is that it's very difficult to perfectly synchronise multi-timeframe bars in Ninja both in historical and ...

Better ADL

Hey Magnum, how's it going? Been meaning to ask you for a while about your trading robots mentioned in other threads. I too use IB and TWS for live trading, plus NinjaTrader for historical analysis and backtesting if I have to code anything. I've ...

Trading the "Dirty Dozen"

Absolutely. You too C, have a good one!

Diversified Trend Trading Approach

Not as good as this band though. Still the best live band I've ever seen: video (I hope that embeds automatically, never done it before!)

Diversified Trend Trading Approach

Great band, Jethro Tull. I managed to see them live a couple of times. Very good

Diversified Trend Trading Approach

Great work here C. The quest for an automated system that performs decently in all market conditions and with minimum drawdown is a noble one. Well done and good luck mate　

Diversified Trend Trading Approach

Hey C, Just wanted to say thanks for this podcast. Interesting stuff for sure. I think it's great watching or listening to professional traders from time to time, and the bonus is that as well as the juicy content they all seem to be really nice ...

Diversified Trend Trading Approach

Yeah, that would be a nice present for sure One more thing... gold is near multi-year lows. Every man and his dog thinks that gold will drop more in the coming months. And last Friday's candle sure was a biggie in favour of bears, both in terms ...

The Really Useless Thread

Hi TF, thanks for your reply. You know, I really hope there isn't a big sell-off in stocks because I have a significant portion of my long-term retirement savings invested in them. But I know that they always go up over time, so not too worried ...

The Really Useless Thread

Hey Fool-san, "distributing the market" is just my parlance for selling strength being greater than buying strength during a ranging phase or upmove. It might be due to taking profit on longs, or it might be due to actively building up short ...

The Really Useless Thread

Well, it ain't easy, that's for sure But I'm sure most of us agree that psychology, especially discipline and having the right mindset about the nature of market, is very important to successful trading.

A jump to the beginning - chaos and market forces

About the machine? Not necessarily. If the coin was placed at exactly the same position each time, and the same way up, and exactly the same force was applied, then why wouldn't you get many more heads than tails (or vice versa)? And if you ...

A jump to the beginning - chaos and market forces

Great views and analysis on this thread, as always. Thanks to Sisse and everyone. We don't have to all agree all the time but it sure is interesting seeing what other traders think about it all. For what it's worth, here is my current view on the ...

The Really Useless Thread

Sharing and helping people actually makes you feel good, and encourages positive feedback from others which also makes you feel good. So if you can successfully tune out any negative feelings you might get from the small minority, then I'm sure your ...
