Another thing I forgot to add -- a lot depends on how the market is behaving -- i.e. trending, choppy, ranging... Swing trading may not be optimal for a particular market behavior, but I feel it is a good compromise. I don't need to apply different ...

PlanetX Indicator - can this indi be used for trading?

Good question -- so, you know there are different styles of trading and different strategies lend themselves better or worse to these different trading styles. Here is how I view the landscape -- and this is by no means carved in stone. You can add ...

Experiments - while waiting for an order to get closed

Hello... Any chance rebuilding dynamicZone.dll for 64-bit? My favorite indicator can't be used in MT5 because it complains "...\dynamicZone.dll is not 64-bit version". If not -- I understand. I'm still good with MT4. Thanks...

It has nothing to do with number of cores. Software doesn't check for number of cores. The reason is because MT4 was written as a single-threaded app, whereas MT5 was written as a multi-threaded app. A thread is a "pipeline" of execution. The more ...

Hello TT -- so, you know, I would really love to meet in person over beers and discuss forex with you. Posting comments on a public forum really doesn't cut it. And it leads to so many misunderstandings. I can sense that I'm about to go down a path ...

Okay. I started watching it and saw it was nearly an hour. I'll finish watching but I may not respond until tomorrow...

The system: metric: current location on the trail (or ultimate destination) sensor: position of the cart on the trail (optimal is middle of the trail) feedback: pulling on the horse's reigns You mean his brain? Okay, say it was. The master algoists' ...

As I wrote earlier, a "system" has 3 elements: metric, sensor(s), feedback mechanism(s). These can be concrete or abstract. A few examples: 1. Guided missile: metric: current location sensor: wind velocity feedback: wing position 2. Relation with ...

Hi TT -- you pushed a button -- my hat is off to you... Yeah -- no doubt my posts come across to some as "total comprehension". But you should notice I don't get into the nitty-gritty details like RickM or BW or bilal1947 or others. I'm ...

Hello TT -- yes, that is correct -- the distinction between truth and preference. And, of course, "truths" can change in time. But we exist now. There may come a time when the earth isn't flat -- but for now it is. And when discussing a hot topic ...

Flying Dutchman

TT -- you are such a gentleman... But when you invoke "truth" I can't hold back. Truth isn't relative. I mean, in the English language we have expressions like "what's true for me", but that really isn't "truth". That's more like a preference. If ...

Hello RickM -- manipulation is part of the system. It's one of the feedback mechanisms. Stock prices are manipulated. Your relationship with your wife is manipulated. The way I drive to work is manipulated. The way I play basketball to win is ...

Are you saying that I hated on you? In my post I said I liked you guys and admire you. But because the questions I've asked can't be conveniently answered when you are wedded to a particular story then I'm a hater. This is why people drift away from ...
