If the strategy works on one time frame then it should also work on the other time frames. Think of it this way, if you're able to flip a small and light coin with your fingers, then you should also be able to flip a larger coin with larger fingers, ...

Can there be a strategy that only works on particular timeframes?

I would disagree with that completely. If someone is able to generate any profit consistently with a smaller account, he's already the winner based on that alone because that implies he has a finely tuned, surgical, and "high probability" strategy. ...

You guys are making this way too complicated with nonsense. The question is about whether the trader profitable. It's not about how he got there. It doesn't matter which broker he has. It doesn't matter what style of trading he has. It doesn't ...

I've mastered a particular strategy I like, it's automated, and I don't want to wait and mow lawns for a month first. It's time to pull the trigger and go for it

Sorry traderumr, I won't be able to do that. If it wasn't for credit card cash advance, I wouldn't even have this $500 to put into it. The deposited amount actually doesn't matter because a true measure of profitability would be in terms of a ...

Think of the bigger picture, no restriction is ever good.

IC Markets

Yes but adjustments could be made to lots to fix that. I just pull up a 1 minute chart, zoom all the way out and then compare the distance between bid and ask, with the distance of the movements. For USDDKK, it's not amazing but it's not bad either. ...

According to that chart USDDKK is really the beast. I'll try it this week. Where do you access that chart?

Trading Made Simple

It's good to know about QuantConnect but I'm sure most retail traders aren't getting into machine learning or data mining. It's very possible to make profit with MT4, especially with the level of support available for MetaTrader. You can have all ...

Platform alternatives to Metatrader

I've only ever used the MT4 mobile app a few times and it was only to receive push notifications. But from what I remember, it seemed good also. It should not be taken for granted the value of having such massive support for MT4. There are many ...

Platform alternatives to Metatrader

Considering everything as a whole, there's no such better platform than MT4. For one thing, the amount of community support for MT4 EAs and indicators is incredible. There are too many things to list. Long live MetaTrader 4.
