Excellent point, I've always used bars but it may be time to start paying attention to the candlesticks. Nice move with your trades, you called that one correct!

Bad Night!!! — Wouldn't you know it, I finally put this system up and boast about good its been for me and right away it turns on me. All but one of my trades went south on me, so much, that I had to close everything out this morning. I would ...

Scott, Mine had gone green and I was about to get out but it has turned red so I'm good. Typical Sunday, my buys went south on me, it went down almost to -$600 (remember I'm buy single and double lots). I have to admit, that was one of the bigger ...

Update — Currently my trades have all gone against me, but this is the norm for me. Sunday nights I experience my largest draw-down, but by Monday morning I'm usually in positive territory. I'm still waiting for the spreads on those two pairs ...

At this point in my trading, I do not use SL. Risky, yes, but it's worked for me - so you need to do what is best for you. Dont' misunderstand me, I know deep down I should have some protection built into my trades. I just haven't figured out what ...

My trades — Ok, Here are my trades for now. I actually have a couple other pairs I'm interest in but the spreads are way too big right now. I will monitor them and hope they go down: GBPCHF, EURCAD. If you can't see the attached, let me know ...

I try not to second guess the signals, if it says sell, I sell! I try not to worry about one specific pair or another, I'm trading a basket of pairs and the net effect is what I'm concern with. So in the beginning I take the trades as they are ...

1522Dad, When I started out, I only had enough money to trade a couple pairs. As my equity/margin grew I was able to expand that upwards. Though I had losers, my win were higher and I was able to reinvest my equity into more pairs. I also must say I ...

Stephan, Yes, I'm going to put it all on the line and let everyone follow my erract style of trading. Since I usually don't start looking at the charts until after the start of the new week, look for my trades around 7 or 8pm CST tonight. Mitch

Thanks for the analysis, it sort of confirms what I've suspected about Goldmine (that it repaints more than I thought). But even though it repaints, I don't really think it has hurt me, maybe just kept me out of a trade longer. I think this is ...

I added the word "Daily" to this system so people wouldn't confuse it with other Traffic Light systems. This is not to say that this is exclusive a "Daily" system, it's just the way I trade it. I encourage all to test it at all levels and share ...

Ben, Thanks for the support. I never said I invented anything, in fact I think I said all I did was find a way to trade the dailies using the best of what I had read about on FF ( if I didn't, then I just did). This method works for me, at least so ...

Sandy, To be honest, because of the my noobie mind, I tend to forget about looking for major news. I will always stay away from Non-Farm, but up until now I haven't stayed away from anything else because of news. Mitch
