V, yes, in the futures world everyone pays for data, however its peanuts considering all the various benefits: singular market, "fixed" spreads, commission structure, execution, etc etc. Also, it's an a-la-carte system so you only pay for what you ...

Small token of appreciation for all the food for thought this thread has provided. Great work, and awesome music! video

Diversified Trend Trading Approach

Targeted RR is your original stop and target. I use hard stops but do not have fixed targets, but i do have "minimum" target which dictates whether i should even consider closing a trade. Anything less than the minimum target i'd rather take a BE ...

(binned per thread starter’s request) Give me your money

I would recommend keeping track of your RR for all trades: Targeted RR, Current RR, and most importantly Effective RR. Remember that within the expectancy formula, which ultimately determines every traders success, there are 4 variables, and only ...

Monocor, You cannot identify a swing or an expectation yet you have studied this thread for a year? This makes all of us laugh, nothing more. It is obvious that you have been posting on this thread this past week only so you could drop some youtube ...

Ratios & Harmonics: a Different Way to Trade

Hey Ensale, Nice to see you around . . . i see we agree on some points but not on others. Fair enough. N.

Ratios & Harmonics: a Different Way to Trade

Evocpr, I must disagree with you and let you know that I have been "ignoring" your charts for quite some time. Firstly, i will admit that it is probably unreasonable to expect the same high level of transparency and honesty that we all enjoy from ...

Will PM you... let’s keep DonPato’s thread clean.

Thanks HG. I will gladly post more examples tomorrow once the markets opens back up. The great thing about absorption is that it occurs every day and on every market, so examples are easy to find (and trade). Also, i noticed the discussion on ...

Hi Peter, You may also want to consider that no major markets are currently in session and the NY forex cash market has closed. No reason to expect any meaningful liquidity till Tokyo open and even then this pair is best suited to trade from ...

Hey...what about Volume?
