Also, be careful with zig-zag type indicators. Many of them repaint horribly. This can lead you to believe you are at the end of a directional move, when the move has not ended.

Trend Trading

This more the profit target that I would expect from a "Trend Trading" system. I'm just getting back into FFactory after a hiatus (it was blocked from work!) The system I use now has a 50 pip S/L and 200 pip profit target. From the trades I've seen ...

Trend Trading All Pairs

I agree on the volatility of the CHF pairs. I think when the Swiss bankers get tired of skiing and drinking chocolate, they play with the currency and make it bounce around for a few hours. Or, it could just be all the hedge fund / drug money being ...

Trend Trading All Pairs

Mr Ed, You have a good and robust system. Keep the faith, and don't worry about a few weeks of drawdown. Even if Nov 2009 is a loss, this is hardly a big deal compared to the system's performance overall. If anything, you need to look at this as a ...

Mister ED's HA trading journal

Looking at the monthly chart, the last time the Yen was at these levels was in August 1995. Not likely that it can go much lower. OTOH, I don't see convincing evidence that its really starting to appreciate just yet, it may need to go into the high ...

First Strike: The result is easy to see... — It's on Joel's blog! He's gone from $500 to around $1400 since Dec of last year. I cant comment on my own trading, its too early to tell; but this system is the best fit for me at the moment. I ...

Dead end...

Haven't posted in a while, because this site got blocked from work But I am home today. I don't think determining the trend is the question. As a swing / trend trader, what I want to know is how to determine when the daily / weekly trend is ...

How to determine the Trend

No, you would go back to page 1 and read the first 5 pages of this thread. and also, use the OsMA color indicator, not the default one. Its on post #29. Currently, I use this indicator with a couple other ones, it tends to lead trends a little.

Trend Hugger System

Unable to connect to perms error (at work) — Justin, I know a few posts back you mentioned that MBT wasn't supporting the remote trader tool, which I believe was a web-based interface to MBT. I'm not able to use Navigator at work (I think they ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

second guesses — I shouldn't try to second guess myself. Yesterday there was a decent setup (not perfect) on the 4H for EUR/GBP. But I was unsure about it, so I exited after a few hours at break even. Today, that trade would be up 130 pips! ...

Volatility before the news — The markets are getting volatile before the news release tomorrow...good time to stay away. I had three trades stopped out in last night's reversal, 2 for profit and 1 for a loss. I was glad I moved my stops up on ...

Fx, I think you are doing most everything correctly. But that doesnt mean that you'll have instant setups, esp. only watching one pair. The gold line setups are just that - gold. I've traded a few of them w/o waiting for the MA's to cross, if they ...

Hmm, they appear to be based in Finland, but have contact info in Canada...but anyone that can do this, would at least show the others that it is possible. They mention that they will not impose their own spread, just pass on what they get from the ...

I think you are getting better (or just more frequent) signals on the 1H charts than I'm getting on the daily charts. August tends to be nasty anyway and we are almost there. I'm going to move to trading 1H, although I will surely miss some trades ...

Yeah, its time to move on perhaps... — Mta, I think I'll follow you to the new thread. Last week was another rough one ( typical July) for this system. We need a way to manage our trades a little more closely, and I like your ideas. So, off we ...

Hunky, I'm hoping you are aware, this is a WEEKLY trading system - you don't look at 30M charts? In fact, you can trade this system with no charts at all ( only last week's closing price ) if you choose to! But, ask more questions if you like. Or, ...

2 pairs for this week... — I'm trading AUD and CAD pairs this week. Both pairs seem to have reached a support level, and should trend. I'm trading Euro and Cable on the daily system I referred to in the link above. I did a stupid thing last ...
