moneybiz, I'm modifying this to also remove the limitation on fixed lot sizes which are closed, so that at TP1 I can have X lots closed, at TP2, I can have Y lots closed, and so on. In the process of modifying the code, I ran across a portion of ...

As far as I can see tiki, nothing more than a weak USD... everything trended up strongly against it. FWIW, the "all-time high" you refer to is just a composite value of nation's currencies at the time that comprise the euro currently, as at that ...

Yes, our perspective differs here.. Yes, that's the way perceptions work--we all perceive ourselves and what we say differently from how others perceive it. That's just life I suppose. You didn't offend me, I just wanted to make myself clear--I am ...

Trade 052 — AUDJPY Range trade, try #2 +0.9% Perfect entry. Exited at 1R. Yes, price plummeted even further after I took profit near the bottom of the range. But range trading is not one of those "hold it and see how far it goes while you move ...

Trade 051 — AUDJPY Range Trade. Short at the top of the range. After trade went into profit, I moved the stop down, and my stop was hit on the tick, and price went back down again. Stop should have been moved a little further away. But loss ...

Trade 050 — EURUSD Beautiful H&S pattern. Exited b/c of fear. Will not do that again.

No worries mate-- and I will consider your beer idea a good one :-) Actually this week is the best week I've had ever so far.

I understand KGB. I'll implement this tonight and post it later. However, I must say that anyone who would take a 20% risk on a trade will definitely blow their account sooner or later... at that high amount of risk, then one is certainly subject to ...

While I seek to not be argumentative, I would like to defend the intent and spirit of my post from being twisted around to sound like something it's not. Nowhere in my post did I mention monetary amounts or "getting rich" ... I talked about price ...

That's awesome dude... hope you weren't risking a lot while doing that though ... I agree, as you might have guessed from the chart I posted a few weeks back that you commented on. All you have to do is turn on 15M or 5M charts, put ...

Trading log — It's amazing how much more enjoyable a trading log is to keep when you actually make money. I know it's only a small sample of trades, but so far the last 4 days, this week, I've had 9 trades, with 7 winners, 2 losers, an ...

Trade 049 — EURJPY Took small risk on a pullback, but price stalled further and I got out with -4.

Trade 048 — EURJPY Beautiful, picture perfect triangle pattern. Price shot up right on time, and I took profit as price stalled at resistance. My stop was way too big here. I was trying to hedge against a false breakout, but a 36 pip stop was ...

Fib numbers: 1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233 and so on. Yes, 144 is a fib number. But it's not a fib ratio. Fib ratios, such as those used in a retracement, are ratios of one fib number to another, are defined like so, where "x" is some number in ...

Yes liquid, as Unforseen said, a tick must occur--the start() function in a custom indicator is run every time a tick occurs, so there is only one way around the problem: an infinite loop that polls continuously for the location of the line. This ...

Hi Peter, so let me make sure I understand--you need smaller than micro? So standard is 100K, mini is 10K, micro is 1K, and you need 100? Correct? I suppose I could just put the option to be units instead of standard, mini, etc... that way you could ...

Trade 046 — USDCAD Long on 15m pinbar, +8pips Quick in, quick out. I'm not fond of counter-trend trades these days, so I was mainly concerned with taking a quick profit. Fear, yes, but I did not like the down-sloping 34ema, so I considered a ...
