That's strange. I can upload the image you posted and attach it flawless. I'm using Firefox 17.0.1 under Windows 7. I also have a third option "Upload Screenshot" you haven't on your screenshot. image

What is a bar called where OHLC has the same value?

I know this as a "perfect doji". But a lot of people will call perfect doji any doji where the close exactly equals the open. @pipcorn, don't you have a link Upload From Computer below the [Post New Reply] button?

What is a bar called where OHLC has the same value?

That's not this kind of noise they filter the best. Range bars are very good at filtering 1/f noise: a huge bearish outside bar engulfing 4-5 previous bars against your long position on a time chart becomes a counter trend on a range chart. You can ...

Trading with altered price chart: P&F, Range Bar, Renko, Kagi, etc.

Which is actually (and counter-intuitively) a good thing as long as you add against a pullback in the direction of the main trend. And because one cannot know if the pullback isn't a reversal they shall share the same SL.

That's the nice scenario but as permully says you can have very volatile trend. Imagine your SL4 retracing below SL2. You get a BE and a loss. The loss isn't big but they add up... Not a big deal if you can re-enter though. It can also happen at the ...

Adding On to Winning Positions

Well I think I have a little clue about how to build the range bars since I built them from tick data <;!) I indeed didn't think about big moves that will produce a lot of full bars thus increasing their ratio. But I see a lot of hammer-like bars on ...

Trading with altered price chart: P&F, Range Bar, Renko, Kagi, etc.

Hi, I wish I could give you a nicer answer. Unfortunately it is indeed a poor idea. Yet at first glance it is seductive. You enter with a small risk and increase the lot size for a winner. Small loss; big win? The stark reality is different. I've ...

What TF do you backtest? Are you using long period indicators? If you use say a 200 period SMA or a pSAR on daily these indi cannot yet provide acurate data.

Strategy Results Poor in 2001-2002

FXEZ told me I should be more of a quant. So... I was willing to fit a Gaussian and a Cauchy distributions on a daily and a hourly return histograms. I wanted to see how better Cauchy fits the market compared to a Normal distribution. Actually I ...

Trading with altered price chart: P&F, Range Bar, Renko, Kagi, etc.

Hi. Based on this idea on G/J Daily, a bullish OB on H4 and a 2-bar engulfer on M15 I just took a long (153.25). Now if the plan is to expect the BO of the last daily high (153.89), what is my target supposed to be? I see nothing obvious before ...

H4 Power

Never losing has a cost you cannot afford.

My timezone is UTC. No problem if you don't see it. It will come with your next H4. It's not important because some times the first trigger is a loser and the next one offers you an even better price. So that's not a race. I've read somewhere ...

Just happened. Short @1.0272 - 10pips SL.

Forgot this one. I told you the text deals with the general case, independently of both the strategies and the market conditions. Your trend and consolidation definitions are therefore irrelevant.

Hedge a losing position?

Your problem. Some day maybe you open your eyes. If you were trading like a mathematician you would simply buy the support THEN sell the resistance and make twice more money. When it comes to probabilities the obvious answer is usually the wrong ...

Hedge a losing position?

I bothered writing a 10 page pdf to prove wrong all the position fiddling in the general case, i.e. independently of both the strategies used and the market conditions.

Hedge a losing position?

USD/DKK long. The problem with this strat is to realize you have not enough ammunitions to chase all the rabbits.

H4 Power

It's not about agreeing or believing it's all about maths. Maths say you're wrong. 1+1=2. Believe it or not. Like it or not. Accept it or not. That won't change it. BTW closing half at 1R to have a "free ride" is also mathematically sub-optimal.

Hedge a losing position?

E/J Weekly - closed with a hanging man finishing a stalled rally pattern. (bearish) - Far above the MAs - Oscillators users may see a bearish divergence on RSI+Stoch. But I don't rely on that. image Daily - Clearly bullish but near the top - ...

H4 Power

Losing in a traditional way or losing in a fancy way is still losing to me... Be honest (with yourself) if you had closed at loss the 60pips and taken the short at the top would you have held on to get the 144pips or would you have closed at +60 ...
