dkrock replied Jul 23, 2017Fibonacci lines do not match the way the majority of the market is traded. It is just a scheme someone tried to use, but is not aligned to reality. The market moves by large pending orders, not support/resistance. Money has to move no matter where ...

dkrock replied Jul 23, 2017A trend trade is a range trade from a higher time frame. If you know how to trade ranges, then you drop to the lower time frame to trade them as trends so that your indicator math has a larger sample size to measure, thus creating more stability, ...

dkrock replied Jul 22, 2017EURUSD seemed to dry up to me in February, so I switched to EURCAD. I think there were only 2 days so far that were less than 50 pips. The London session (EUR) is still a bit dead most of the time, but the NY session (CAD) is HOT.

dkrock replied Jul 18, 2017I stumbled across that risk adverse argument today actually, lol. I do not think it applies to trading. Trading is not an "all or nothing" bet. It is easy to accept a loss without losing the entire sum of money risked. So, I would just go for the ...

dkrock replied Jul 18, 2017My opinion, based on reading multiple forums, seeing multiple threads, and working with and trying to understand trader skills and psychology over the last 13 years, is more narrow in nature. To me, it is the real root issue. The vast majority, hmm, ...

dkrock replied Jul 14, 2017Have you seen the color bars for moving averages and MACD? Is it possible to do that to TDI? When there is a crossover of any 2 chosen values, the chart candle will change color? I don't have an mq4 of MACD Candles, but here is the moving average ...

dkrock replied Jul 14, 2017You have to use logic with trailing stops so the price can do small reversals without taking you out. One method I have seen is done by using the PSAR. Recommend settings 0.1 / 1.0. Use the dot as your trailing stop, within reason. Another technique ...

dkrock replied Jul 14, 2017The stats show only about 77% lose, but marketers like to throw around the 95% number as false advertising. The truth is everyone, 100%, lose at some point. The 23% that make profit generally lose due to market head fakes. The 77% that lose ...

dkrock replied Jul 12, 2017A time frame is just a time frame. A range trade on a higher time frame is a trend trade on a lower time frame. All patterns are evident on all time frames. It is just a matter of range (price between high/low) and frequency (time between signals). ...

dkrock replied Jul 12, 2017Since the market ranges most of the time, I would concentrate on learning how to trade ranges. A range on a higher time frame will appear as a trend on a lower time frame. The lower time frame trend, based on a higher time frame range, has the same ...

dkrock replied Jul 10, 2017I partially agree with you, but it is a bit more complicated. Rather than trying to trade during a certain market's open hours, you should consider trading only when the market for either of your currencies is open. If you trade EUR/USD, then you ...
