Sometimes I wonder if I am just talking to myself here so I really appreciate the kind words from so many others here. What no one here knows is that I grew up in an era when men for the most part did not type, nor were they ever taught to. ...

Thank you for the kind words and welcome to the thread. I would not worry about the best way to use the MACD at this point, because I don't. This thread has evolved over the last 5 years, and for the better, and I am glad that it has as that was ...

I don't know how to write MT4 code, but I did/do write code in other trading platform's language and I have programed many, many trading systems. In fact, I used to sell them. Most mechanical trading systems are optimized through back-testing to ...

Thank you for the kind words. This would be very complicated to answer properly in a short amount of time because I incorporate so many other nuances into what I trade, why I make a trade, how I trade and when I trade. After you have traded for a ...

I actually look at almost every timeframe (starting from the highest down to the lowest) before I start trading each day just to get a feel of an overall direction (if there is one). I swing trade stocks and I always keep the Weekly chart beside the ...

Look at the 2 charts below from earlier today. The top chart is the 1 min. U/J pair and the bottom chart is a 1 min. chart of a AI stock that I day trade occasionally called Snowflake. How much easier can trading successfully get than this? ...

This is no one best way that I know of to exit a trade so I'll just give you some of the numerous ways I use to get out. 1. When the 12-3 %D Stochastics is above or below the 80 or the 20 and it turns back in between the the 2. 2. When I see 1 or ...

TC2000 does not have a SMMA (see the chart below), I recreated it by using the EMA with the settings of 22 and 26. It only says SMMA on my chart because I typed it there as to be a reminder to me as to what it is. I use 4 different trading platforms ...

TC2000 does not have SMMA available but I was able to perfectly recreate it through a lot of trial and error. It's the 22 and 26 EMA's

Just to make everyone aware. I only have the free version of TradingView now because I was rarely using it when I was paying for it, so in the free version I can only use 2 indicators. What I am finding is that using basically the same settings on ...

The short answer is no. And that's because I haven't found using the histograms to be as reliable as Stochastics in showing divergences. The Stochastic settings I use most often to show me divergences is: Period 12, 3%K, 3%D. But as I said in Post ...

Nearly a month ago I posted the "Triple Threat" (Post #8786). Every trading day since then I have used it (in various ways), both on stocks and/or the Forex. What I have realized is that it is GREAT at showing you Continuation Trades (at virtually ...

Hi and welcome to the thread. You can still use the same templates that are on Page 1, Post #1, but over the course of 5+ years, yes we have evolved, but I think you are best off to get a clear understanding of what's in Post #1, otherwise it might ...

I tend to agree with you but they don't display in the same way on my stock trading platform as they do on MT4 so I had to quit using them for stocks. You literally cannot see the price move if it is behind the candle body for stocks, whereas with ...

When I am day trading I often think of this song from the 1980's. video "The Gambler" Lyrics On a warm summer's evening On a train bound for nowhere I met up with the gambler We were both too tired to sleep So we took turns a-starin' Out the ...
