How is the GBPUSD trade a TC trade? The over all trend trend has been down since the middle of March. The short term trend was down as well. As far as I can tell, the only way this would have been a TC trade is if it would have CT back to the 89 and ...

4 Hour Strategy (MACD)

I passed on the LONG GBPUSD, because it was CT and I was not sure if it had the steam to keep going up, or if it was going to die off and eventually continue back down on a TC early next week.

I have the WHC MT4 version, which has all sorts of futures, stocks, and commodity charts to view. So the DOW futures is very interesting to me. How is the DOW chart used in determining decisions in FOREX. My guess is the USD often follows the DOW ...

Saka, you can add the .786 Fib line to your Fib tool in MetaTrader by adding the Fib Retracement to your chart, then going to the Chart Objects, selecting the Fibo you added and clicking "Edit" and then adding the value .786 to the "Fibo Levels" tab ...

Zero Bounce = the MACD comes down to the 0 line and then bounces back (either back above or below) where it came from. Zero Break = the MACD crosses the 0 line (from above to below the 0 line or vice versa).

Pivot Point Zones - I am fascinated. What a great addition to my trading tool belt. I have a few questions regarding them. Do you normally just look to draw them on the Weekly charts, or do you start at the Monthly, work down to Weekly, and then ...

Oh, very cool, thank you for sharing. I found the ATR in my MT4 as a standard indicator, but I was not sure if there was a special version added to this method or not. The default was 14, so 14 bars of course. This is very helpful information. ...

Palmer, I am not sure how I missed this, but I was probably going through a "I am burned out looking at this thread but I will force myself to read it anyway" moods. What is the ATR indicator? I do not see it on the fxtradeblog website. Is there an ...

Thank you Tom! A new trick for me to practice.

GREAT! Thank you again. I use the 8, 21, 89, 200 and 365 moving averages from the 4H MACD thread, so I wondered what moving averages many used over here. 150, I will need to add that to my daily and weekly charts. Is there an indicator for the PPZ ...

james16 Chart Thread

GREAT post, and thank you for your time of putting this information out there. I have two questions relating to your post. What moving averages do you use, and like to see for PB set-ups? What is PPZ? I am guessing Pivot Points. If Pivot Points, do ...

raczekfx, do you trade the Dow, or do you just watch it to get a hint of where the USD pairs could be heading?

Do you guys trade Dow futures, or do you just follow them for a clue into the Forex markets?

I got in on the Daily EURCHF and the Daily USDJPY. I was not sure how to trade the Daily with all the news released today, so I kept my Units (Oanda) small, so that my stop losses are very reasonable.

Thank you everyone! This thread is my life saver (in more ways than one). Phillip, by "round bottom" do you mean how the small spinner candles all form a round bottom, because my MACD is almost flat at 0 at this point, with a slight dip below 0 and ...

I sat out of two trades that would have been profitable. The first was the very same EURUSD trade Phillip took. I did not take this trade due to the tail to the top. For those of you who took this trade, did the tail not scare you off, and if not, ...

Questions — I have been quiet lately, studying both this method and the James16 thread. I can feel myself growing as a trader, though my account does not reflect it, yet. Okay, on with the questions. #1) I wake up at 5 AM CST to check the 4 ...

I took the EURUSD Daily Pin bar yesterday. It was bitter sweet. I was correct, and made 65 pips real quick. But I set my TP too low and with Oanda I don't have a trailing stop, so I cut my profit short.
