kprsa replied Aug 12, 2015Hi JNevins, I am looking into Gann these days and it is much easier when charts work... I cannot promise to reboot the thread, but if I find something useful, I will update. Might join the Yahoo forum, perhaps it's a good idea.
All the best! k
Planetary Cycles Trading (EUR/USD)
- kprsa replied Aug 12, 2015
To people interested in this kind of stuff: I was trying for a few days to get the Metatrader indicators from the thread (those using the Swiss Ephemeris dll) working here. I was getting strange errors, perhaps because of the new version of ...

If this were true we could, for example know the properties of, say, metals, just from knowing the properties of its constituent atoms. We don't. More on topic, we could anticipate the behaviour of groups, solely by knowing a bit about individual ...
Is anyone here an institutional trader?

Just as a regular reader of the thread here: Skenobi (edit: and the rest of the pros answering our questions) has not single-handedly created the world's financial system or even the retail Forex. I doubt that he was behind the decision of SNB in ...

I am a practical man. If I see that a model has merit, I will further test it. If it works, I will accept it. Your problem I guess is the testing of "it works" part. I don't find this difficult (my entire career is based on this notion), nor I think ...

IMHO it makes more sense to decrease the position if the price is against it and increase it if it is gaining. Also, programmers will not be able to help you if you don't include the ea source. k
Pyramid system

The motivation for my cycle models is enhancing the profit factor. For example if you assume that the cycle bottom just occurred, and there would likely be a cycle top in, say, 28 days, you can stack a grid of trades which would enhance your profit ...

I agree with what you're saying. The problematic thing is the "Cassandra effect" -> those concepts need to be accepted by the majority. I am personally trained in a very mathematical discipline, and I can assure you that Gann to me often sounds like ...

Agreed, one should not read into this too much. I have personally looked at some of the futures (corn, wheat etc.) and, after noticing the frequent 28-day trends, marked the dates of the full moon/new moon on the charts. From the looks of it it ...

Well, liberty is a particular beast, and although it is the same word, it seems to be understood very differently among different cultures, for example Europe and North America. I don't think the organisation of the economic system can help much in ...

Kinda sad to see this article without mentioning W. D. Gann even once, as he was among the first people to use the cycles to make predictions about the commodities' and stock prices. He has apparently used the same method to predict the 1929 crash. ...

It doesn't make sense since both curves by definition behave monotonously, i.e. the accumulation only grows, and the distribution only decreases...

The best trend indicator/MA that I have personally seen is Jim Sloman's natural moving average. That one is very cleverly done so that the initial exponential moving average's constant is changed by volatility, and from its appearance, it appeared ...
Reverse Engineering a Profitable System (REPS)

It appears that Chaikin's accumulation/distribution line was based on a similar idea. This is a fantastic indicator for gauging (via the price/indicator divergence) if the usual double bottom/top are going to lead to true reversals. I will try to ...

You can use the Trade interceptor app or even the MT4 app. A lot better imho. k

Update: wheat has broken down through the support trendline last week, opened the monthly candle with a gap down, and looks like it could be heading lower. My buy grid is predominantly inactive (just two trades stopped out), but I am now considering ...
