More I think about it, the more a merging of mechanical Automated and human brain makes sense. Using my simple MACD 4,10 rule for entry and exits but only when I say to do so, so just automating the in and out, to many times have I bought or sold to ...

Think Outside the Box

Well I'm poor so £100 I add when required hurt me enough Account is still intake but No trades so cheating really

blew out another account...Just venting...

Something I'm playing with tonight, abit mechanical so atleast the very short term trend has a high odds on being my direction. 1Min Chart, MACD 4 and 10, if you want to go long don't do it until this goes positive and vice versa, no point buying ...

blew out another account...Just venting...

well I've got a mechanical entry rule, which if I'd stuck with and not tried to pick a bottom I'd be 11pips better off, as I just got stopped. So my thinking at the moment is, as EA's generally don't work, what if I had a EA and I said Go Long on my ...

Think Outside the Box

Your demo account is likely that new dealer direct crap, with a real account I just couldn't get in or out, it's basically rejected you as the price changed and it'll sit there for hours until it'll eventually say, order failed. E-mail them, or open ...

Daily Cable Analysis

Summit FX your 5ema / 12ema cross on the 1hour ( I'm using 10ema / 24ema on the 30min ) looks great it's caught some really good moves. Plotting it, with EMA's + a MACD as it's easier to see, using as a market direction it back tests so well, so ...

What is your favourite indicator and why ?

Hmmm looks better on the 30min charts, as a trade in trend indicator mainly.

Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse) ind

Well as no one else has answered. It's one of the few indicators I've tried to use, i've messed around with Experts using to. But I keep turning it off as I don't / Can't use it real time. I'm better off with a selection of SMA's and a Envelope or 3 ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

FXCM's IFR Watch, Momentum is fading following the 2 day climb from 1.9530 and a bear bias intraday has put the bear side back in play. The Daily chart shows price moving towards the apex of a triangle and with a series of falling tops the risk is ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Definately Buyers around here currently people ( Possible Lambs to the slaughter ) Eur sitting on 12hour support, trying to break 1hour down trend, GBP shouldn't go anywhere without Eur doing much the same. I should put a limit in, incase I die of ...
