Bollinger Band 350/1? What settings do you mean in a bit more detail please?

(binned per thread starter’s request) Fairly long term trend trad

I am happy to go elsewhere. There are many useful threads on the site and most of them written by less arrogant people. You might be a good trader but you have no idea of how to deal with other traders. Good luck.

The end of "science" trading strategy

As I said earlier, I don't fully understand what you're saying.

The end of "science" trading strategy

I'm not showing you anything. I don't really mind if you believe me or not so showing proof wouldn't get me anywhere. (That photo looks a bit like me. How did you do that?) I never post what trades I'm in but happy to post the methodology so you can ...

Trade Pullback

You're right of course. But its apparent from this forum and others that new traders mostly want to day-trade. And most new traders fail. The 90% yardstick comes up with great regularity. So that means of course that 10% of new traders do make money ...

Trade Pullback

I'm happy you keep thinking that. Actually, I'll agree its impossible to make money out of intra-day trend-following. Meantime, I'll keep making money from long-term trend-following. PS. I have no intentions of returning the money just because a lot ...

Trade Pullback

I saw a Youtube clip on grid trading forex showing something which I think was similar (though I don't fully understand what you are saying). So, as long as price remains between 1.4420 and 1.4410, you're continually paying out losses while waiting ...

Is this a type of MACD indicator?

Trade Pullback

Blimey. Now I find I've started ignoring Spreadbetter, and this was by accident. Found how to stop ignoring him and clicked it. Phew.

Can YOU make money as a trader?

I don't believe Mingary trades. When he did trade he lost. I think from what he has said this was a long time ago. He has not to my knowledge added anything to discussions on trading. In view of all this I don't believe there can be any benefit in ...

Can YOU make money as a trader?

Looks like what I'm doing. People say trend-following only works in trending markets. Like that's a problem. Obviously if the market's not trending, there is't even a first trade! Wish I had seen your system earlier. Well done indeed.

position-sizing/pyramiding strategies to decrease risk?

None of these. I don't use TP's on trend-following trades, I aim to have as many positions open as possible if the trend is continuing. I re-set the SL on all previous trades when the latest one is opened, the SL on all (short) trades is the same ...

position-sizing/pyramiding strategies to decrease risk?

I pyramid all my trend-following positions. As soon as the trade is opened, I've got a duplicate order set that will trigger when the unrealised gain equals the initial trade's capital risk. I keep on doing this until we get a pull-back or the trend ...

position-sizing/pyramiding strategies to decrease risk?

But seriously, you're saying that over-night markets are dead, Redeflect's saying trends can easily reverse over-night. One or other of your analyses must be wrong. But I think where you agree is you carry a fear of what might happen while you are ...

psychological biases affecting trading

Its actually down to good planning and market awareness rather than luck, but thank you anyway. (he said modestly)

psychological biases affecting trading

Well isn't that what I said sustains day-trading? Fear of over-night reversals.

psychological biases affecting trading

Speaking as a long-term only trader, doesn't anyone see the irony in day-traders' concerns about psychological biases, irrational influences, emotional trading, greed and revenge trading and the rest? When day-trading itself is sustained out of fear ...

psychological biases affecting trading

This is all good. I know dailyfx.com is tied in with IG, I had to get an IG demo account through dailyfx.com when I wanted some market sentiment info from them But I was suggesting dailyforex.com.

The struggles of a Forex trader

You could be right, they might have their own motives. I don't know what their business is, haven't looked into it. Nevertheless, I am running long-term trend-following trades and its all I've done for quite a time now, and making money out of it. ...

The struggles of a Forex trader

Go for long-term trend-following. Avoid day-trading. If you can't make money consistently long-term trend-following then day-trading is not for you. Have a look at dailyforex.com: they certainly reckon its one of the easiest strategies to learn and ...
