Good to see you around Karun. Hope all is well. I also have a trader friend (not on FF) who uses a rising value of ADX > 20 as a trending signal. I don't use ADX so I'm not sure how consistent it is. One thing I've noticed in this ranging market: ...

Flashing lights aren't necessary. You basically just need to know where the pivots are. There are options for calculating based on New York or London closes, for instance, and they can be divided into mid-pivots as well. They are actually based on ...

Although many of us took issue with your post, I don't think most of us here would label you a troll. We can look at your posting history to decide. Discussions are healthy - it keeps our ideas from becoming stagnant. Here is the one that could have ...

Don't count on that many pips, even for an average. Trade first for 6 months, like acumen says, then you can calculate a realistic average. You will likely see you need as large of an account as possible, risking as small of a percentage as ...

I can only hope to meet you one day. You are one helluva guy.

It's not that you will retire, but we fear that your skills will take you away to better things - good for you, bad for us.

I did not check yours, but I was using Karun's requested settings. Perhaps you have formulated your own. I am sure there are better settings than what I was using, but I was apprehensive to change without giving them a patient chance.

Good thing Cobra is covering our posterior on that one.

If I remember correctly there is a Spanish Forum. Keep checking in, as Cobra knows I think.

For me, that sentence is the core of your post. The simple act of trading is not the single determining factor of the usefulness of one's life. Perhaps trading will enhance someone's ability to help others. Perhaps trading will open up time for ...

Thanks for your comments and the set file. I will look at it and decide what I will do. I agree with taking the process slowly, but it has been one month and between the H1 and H4 one trade in one month is too few.

Well I will continue to work on it. I am just looking for ideas in addition to mine. I think I will try to keep it simple...just looking for the right combination. Thanks Cobra, for your response.

I was originally assigned EU H1 and H4 by Karun to test the EA. There has only been one trade taken two weeks ago by the EA for 6 pips. I followed Karun's instructions for setting the EA, but I believe the parameters are too restrictive. I think ...

Mike, I am trading H4 charts and also wonder if you have any experience or thoughts on that time frame as well.

I think that it is impossible to know that without backtesting or forward testing. Anecdotal evidence indicates around a two-thirds (66%) win rate is common for successful traders. I am also working on a H4 trading plan. It is a slow process due to ...

I particularly like Tjpld's '"smoothness" of my balance curve' definition. My curve shows that over the short time I've been trading, I had been flat for too long during the last half of the period. Consequently, I had to change my trading plan. ...

How to evaluate consistency?

May I suggest... A small live account is a great way to test one's nerves for a while after experimenting with a "system" on demo.

In fact, I am finding on the H1 that cloud cross is a more reliable indicator than Trix color change.
