i don't know about TDI - don't want to start learning new bags of tricks. i think though, at least now, one needs to find confluent and more perfect setups. to trade much less.

thanks everyone, including dkrock for the indicator. i actually have been mucking around with trend lines and didn't get a good result after 1h tests 85 trades sample. its possible though that more requirements are needed ie confluence to make it ...

so u guys think my 4h system might be a working system? and even after 20 trades it can be normal to sometimes get say 0R or 5R? i haven't succeeded so i don't know what normal likes like

yes it does make sense and that's probably what the top traders are doing. thanks havo. that would be a good way to go.

Thanks havo and others. Definitely some great ideas here. Havo - that's amazing. i think i know what you are saying. execute a short term trade like 20 pips, or even less, and just let it run sick forever. "can I"? i don't know, but i do need the ...

wouldn't mind some clarification. say the timeframe is 4h, trend following. rather than just trade a small basket of say 5 majors, why not also trade many other cross pairs ?(the main non US currencies, nothing exotic or unusual). more opportunities ...

what are u talking about? longer timeframes (4h, daily weekly ) mean you're less exposed. bigger stops, ie less money for1% risk..

i got it working, but i would have liked it to display PAST news events as vertical lines. it does that, but not that far. that way i could look over a long way and see the effect of news. let me know otherwise people. thank you

i'm new but this is scary stuff. if one was trading the 1h timeframe, or 15min, stop loss size is very narrow => massive loss. negative value even. maybe it's better to trade 4h + timeframes only (stop losses tend to be bigger)? i feel scared to ...

i mean if trades are correlated, DON'T trade them on the same timeframe (e.g. two 4h setups that are corelated, that is twice the risk). but i could take one 4h trade and another daily trade, even if currencies are highly correlated right? the ...

i see that some people trade price rather than the candlestick. e.g. if price breaks past a certain level, jump in, even if the candlestick hasn't completed or near completed. what is the correct approach, or which do you use and why ? if u trade ...

thanks for the advice. and i looked at all the pairs and found similar movements... much more correlated than i thought. when things are breaking out at the same time and looking similar, i'll try to pick one currency (or diversify)

i made a mistake with the title. it should be: WHICH CORRELATION COEFFICIENT TO USE AND WHY (e.g. daily, hourly, weekly etc) when deciding if a trade is too correlated or not to take?? (don't want to double up on risk) i re-posted the topic in a new ...

i'm new to it as well. you should do what i do - get a strategy going and then manually backtest it on past charts. it's time consuming, but you will see every kind of wave/situation you can come across and get used to it and know what is worthy ...

go to your library - they usually have the most up to date and popular books on forex trading. i picked up a few technical trading (forex) books from there, and those books are quoted online and in forums. library has up to date stuff, and you can ...

i know some people who trade stocks and leave their stop loss out of the market. the beauty of this is that you don't get stopped out from market fluctuations, and often their trades continue higher. if however the candle closes past the "mental" ...

hi. i'm still new to forex and I would like some 'basic as' code to function as a script. i just want to attach the script to the metatrader chart so it draws on the chart for me. can someone give me the code for it. it's merely this: plot point for ...
