The problem with horizontal SR [for me] is that they are entirely subjective - there is no strict rule [at least I don't know it] of how price should behave - sometimes it bounces, sometimes it penetrates and both are valid signals (breakout / ...

Beware the beast of Caerbannog! video I promised to write something but to be honest, I have no idea how to start so I'll talk this and that. My background is on tech side, I have had some quite high positions and founded a couple of companies. I ...

Compare your results to the no1 hedge fund at the moment [medallion of renaissance] and you have a reasonable idea of what the cream of the crop makes. url If you really can archieve 10% in month (which means tripling the money each year) then ...

Here is something interesting. I assume the price goes below 1.25. That's the next cluster of strong support available below ps. those are not your usual pivot lines. They are something totally different.

EURUSD

Exactly my point. I agree. However I just pointed out errors in your calculation - I think it's quite important because otherwise people tend to believe professional looking graphs like the one you posted. I tried to suggest some possible methods of ...

huh? Are you assuming that the betsize is calculated from the original deposit? Of course it is not. The bet size must always be calculated from current account balance.

Okay let's play then. Did you know for example that there was no housing bubble in germany? I don't mean by any means that germany is without problems but it's one of the least problematic countries.

EURUSD

Sorry but what are you talking about? Those are facts, not opinions. ZEW is nothing more than survey. Trade balance is a fact. Germany has not been in that bad shape. Why are these numbers surprising? ps. use the new chart feature to see why the ZEW ...

I closed my [technical] shorts few pips in profit, ZEW [fundamentals] is too strong for me to fight against. I don't like to play against fundies.

You want the truth? Nobody here knows. Trading is all about probabilities and that's why you should only risk small portion (2-3%) of your account every trade and aim to bigger wins than losses. And there will be losses - many losses. If we would ...

My long term view is still very dollar negative but what can you do when there is bottom of bollinger bands AND long term trendline AND 20 day donchian channel pierced at the same bar [on daily of course]. Too good position not to short couple of ...

Barhopper, Sorry I was not trying to say that you should move to usual technical analysis, I was meaning that as you can't use this method directly to trading as curve, you need to find some specific ways of using this kind of techniques to trading. ...

CB, Thanks for the reply, I didn't notice this before as I said, I removed my subsription and only now went back the pages I missed. I marked one part of your post bold, that is where I think we don't agree. In fact higher volatility usually means ...

Thanks a lot, I'll take a look at MBT fix - I have used alpari historical data in the past, it can be downloaded in CSV format from their site so historical data is not that big issue (it's not that hard to automate fetching of those csv files). ...

Couldn't agree more.. I'm getting a bit interested in reprogramming my stuff for FIX, does MBT quote server give out historical data as well or just the latest quotes? Does the quote server offer some kind of order book data?

Automated longer term trading with MT4

This has been one of my thoughts as well as IB offers FIX too but at the moment I'm looking for lazier way of doing this.. But it's something I might take a look again. The problem with fix usually is that it's usually not free, at IB it's something ...

I'm not fluent in math lingo [neither am I looking for holy grail here, I already have my own grails]. So what does non-causal here imply? That all of the [history too, not just the last point] calculated curve basically changes at every moment ...
