Trading is as simple as ABCD

Yep thats the same old game I play nearly everyday, I think its the fear of missing out over coming the fear of losing or rather the fear of a BE trade. How many pips were you up in those 8 trades??? If you had taken just 5 pips per trade then you'd ...

Trading is as simple as ABCD

I've been through a lot of charts today and I'm not convinced we could rely on anything in particular when it comes to trying to hold a few trades as theres not a repeatable pattern that we could rely on. However I'd say theres typically maybe three ...

Trading is as simple as ABCD

Hi Pres78 Yep thats where I got the idea from, your "paper break even" trade. Great way to hold through the first entry then rinse and repeat on 2nd and if you get them to stick, you've banked a whole position and got a whole position going forward. ...

Trading is as simple as ABCD

Hi Jed I personally wouldn't get too carried away with the Divergence theory, I think if you look there are plenty of times when divergence simply doesn't work. Its the way our belief systems work, we are always looking for evidence to back up our ...

Trading is as simple as ABCD

Nice charts and agree 100% with you about getting the earlier CCI signals in the move as soon after the slope change as possible.. Our little CCI just keeps giving doesn't it?? And now we can add divergence to the plan... great stuff... Of course ...
