Morning, Vantage Do you think the 5,3,3 sto might be superfluous ? I'm getting the impression that it always confirms. 'Will keep observing, as I do like the idea of using this to scalp when there are no KTM trades on the (near-) horizon ...

... don't beat yourself up, deepsouth : I checked both my platforms, NinjaTrader and TradeStation, and the MA had just crossed down (by 1pip); the only thing to have considered was that you were in the "lunchtime range" between the two main ...

A very fully-dressed chart... — Is this what you had in mind (inc 34 EMA + 5 DMA) ?

V - when you have a moment, please do post that chart. In TradeStation if I set the last MACD parameter to 1, I get a straight line, so I have left it at the default 9 - I will compare with your chart when I see it. Still using 5 DMA and 34EMA, or ...

There go your lovely clean charts ... but I think it could be a good move. I will monitor : I decided this evening to only trade KTM style; I'm doing well this month, but am still both breaking my rules and also exiting badly far too often.

Nice trade, ozziedave. Sometimes there are several euro-morning trades, sometimes not... this morning I had a DAX trade : image is from NinjaTrader (I use their ChartTrader to enter). For the first time I had some kind of tech issue : my stop and ...

Hi, ozziedave, I'm trading the London session - I get back from the school run just before 0900CET (0800 in London)... sometimes I just miss the first good setup, but usually the morning will yield at least one. I'm trying to leave the afternoons ...

I've been thinking about this post for a while : I wonder if your stop was a hard stop, ie. already in the market ? I am at 12 & 1 for November and my single loser was also stopped to the pip; not only that it was at a 48 number, ie, if I had left ...

Hi, morpheus305, I though H didn't like trades where the 3 point does not take out the 2 point high, as per your example. Harold ? I ask because I'm sloooooowly squeezing out all the extra bells and whistles I've overlaid on top of this method to ...

Moderator, I think this thread should be in Systems, not programming discussion...

Di Napoli, RSI, EMA 5 min system

Interesting idea, V. I'm a mere "cut & paste" programmer - and in EasyLanguage only (TradeStation), but I've spent a LOT of time working on automated systems. All the tweaks you suggest are easy for a good programmer, but I would suggest keeping the ...

StepRSI — I think it's this... NB. I haven't seen anyone else using the same settings as me, so you will need to tweak. PS. I do have a copy of MT4 on my trading computer, but its motherboard failed last weekend and my pc builder cannot find a ...

I only have it in EasyLanguage for TradeStation. It's one of igorad's indicators; he's an excellent Ukrainian programmer, and it might not be one that he posts publicy (he has a Yahoo group called Trend Laboratory which costs $100 to join but which ...
