JR97 replied Nov 29, 2011In my opinion, don't waste your time or money on it. The concept is ok, but the accuracy leaves a lot to be desired. It's based around counting highs/lows between lunar cycles. There are a few people that have expanded on the concept to increase the ...

JR97 replied Nov 29, 2011Someone mentioned Gann. In my years of researching and studying Gann type concepts (mainly to prove them wrong) it occurred to me that if you approach price and time in the same way Einstein approaches space and time then you need to find a common ...

JR97 replied Nov 27, 2011I can agree with that. Astro or any other cycle method.... actually just about any method period... shouldn't be taken as an automatic change in trend or trade entry signal on it's own. But even if it is, proper risk management should help keep ...

JR97 replied Nov 22, 2011I prefer to have a bit more history so that you can see how spot on the cycle is and what it looks like when it's not spot on. Does it wander by a bar or two occasionally? Does it just flat out miss occasionally? Again, multiple time frames or ...

JR97 replied Nov 21, 2011Depends on the time frame I'm trading. The super safe play is the bar low if it's the end of an up cycle and vice versa for a down cycle. The other issue is that the cycle bar can be an up or down bar regardless of whether it's the end of an up or ...

JR97 replied Nov 17, 2011I think there can be a distinct difference between forecasting direction and predicting direction. One is based on establishing probabilities whereas the other seems more about certainty in something that is rather uncertain. I'm about forecasting ...

JR97 replied Nov 17, 20111:2 Risk/Reward. Once I experienced the power of that, the rest of the stuff is semantics. Seriously. 1:2 means you can set and forget your orders and you only need to be correct 40% of the time to make money. You can literally flip a coin and do ...

JR97 replied Nov 17, 2011Initial entries were small wins due to trailing stops. Last entries did ok. Ended up shutting it down because things were starting to look too choppy with no discernible or sustainable trend. I usually enjoy trading 40-50 pip swinging ranges, but it ...

JR97 replied Nov 17, 2011Even after all of these years, I'm still amazed at how well trading time works and how easy it is. I mean seriously.. wait for a vertical line and then go in the other direction.

JR97 replied Nov 16, 2011For the record, soso is an awesome developer. I still use a lot of his stuff that he did for me years ago on a daily basis. I've learned a lot about mql and mt4 development from his code.
