Great thread! I enjoyed reading it. I concentrate more on the exit rather than the entry and use different rules for my exits than my entries for one particular reason. I assume that I am always wrong. I could look at the chart, the price action, ...

So far I've bought $100 worth of books (Murphy's Technical Analysis & Left Brain Trading) and about $500 to upgrade my monitor (nice 19" lcd with an adjustable arm). I don't do courses or expensive subsciption services as I think that there's more ...

Pitchforks seems to work really well on the GBPUSD don't they? Thanks for sharing the stop loss move that you did. Anytime you are stopped out and still get a profit is a good trade, in my books.

Every timeframe has a trend that you can trade. Sometimes the trend of one timeframe will be in the opposite direction of another time frame. It's generally considered dangerous to trade a smaller trend running opposite of a larger one. One rotation ...

I really like these turning point pitchforks you've been posting. I think every channel eventually gets violated and every trend comes to an end. I saw a cool presentation that involved closing a third of your position in a pitch fork trade at ...

What I've always wondered is that if these global conspirators are so smart and able to manipulate the entire world to get what they want, how is it that some guy on the internet was able to figure it all out. If that's the case, they're pretty ...

They would have the same interest rate, one negative, one positive and cancel eachother out. The point of this isn't really to hedge. The point is to maximize interest so you're basically getting paid to leverage.

Here's a chart of a pitchfork on the 10 period EMA. I drew them in real time. I should have taken a screen shot, but it confirmed, very very nicely.

Excellent thread guys! I had just happened to find an article somewhere about pitchforks and came here to discuss it and here it is going already! I've only been using them for a couple days on a demo account, but I'm not finding it that hard to get ...

I'm with soso_beton, but think it will be less dramatic. I think it's nearing the top of the channel and will simply make another move back to about 2/3rds the way to the bottom of the channel and back up again. At that time it might once again ...

I have some custom indicators for use with MT4, but I don't really like any of the MT4 brokers. I'm another one of those people who trade with Oanda and use MT4 with a free demo account. I've heard good things about Tradestation and might move in ...

Didn't say "everytime." I said "some." Or for that matter, any would be nice. Otherwise it's just the same as me doing this: Short USDJPY 114.95 Buy USDJPY 114.05 90 pips $5 a pip Wow. Informative. Worth discussing.

Now this is certainly a cool thread, but what would make it better would be some charts and an explanation of how you go about identifying these trades before you enter them. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely NOT one of those people who think the ...

Moe, thanks for posting the article on so many threads. There are tons of threads dealing with much the same topic-- so posting the same reply to them, certainly makes sense.

I'm talking large and mega-trends. Commodity bull markets (where *real* things are up vs the dollar) typically last 15 to 25 years. I believe it's starting point was just past 2001-2004 when gold and oil prices saw their bottoms. I don't think ...

My system also produced an indicator for this move. I'm still riding it, but so far it has exceeded my expectations. I'm thinking it's time to put in a trailing stop and go to bed. Even if I get stopped out immediately, I'll still be up 30 pips on ...

We're in a dollar bear. All the fundamentals point towards the dollar being weak against almost everything-- commodities, other currencies, precious metals, oil, whatever. Every now and again there's a piece of news or a rate hike that injects a ...

Great idea! Chart formation flash cards! I think I'll print a set off after I make them. I think I'll print them to mailing labels and stick them right onto playing cards. Most cardstock isn't as nice as a nice plasticized playing card.

I actually think the opposite is true. With 95% of the people losing money in Forex, I'm guessing that a good portion of the material out there is pure crap. I wouldn't want a resource that just brought everything together because it would include ...
