There is no 'best' setting/indicator/strategy in any market. I use a simple Trendline, HH's/LL's, and an understanding of market participants' psychology. I do very well. Take that as you will. I do not know how you can code this.

CHF pairs are like a one-armed stripper. Sure, it seems ok naked...but something always seems different. Personally I prefer avoiding most of them for intraday trading. Glad to see you back NM. Hope your thread continues helping those who seek it

Just incase you haven't noticed, p.a. may seem awfully similar on the lower timeframes (1min/10-sec, etc), price range differs greatly. 1 tick may cover 50% of a bar high-to-low. When price range shrinks down, it becomes increasingly hard to come ...

Paul...it is all a measure of viewpoint. Keep track of your positions separately and it is all the same in the end. Fifo/Lifo is nothing more than reporting. Your positions are managed by however you see fit, not the broker.

Any good trader knows there are many ways to take money from the market. I don't trade specifically like many here, while you don't either, as well as mktscape and custos. What good is 6+ signals on solely JPY pairs, or 4 SEK signals? I keep it ...

yup, expected in august. this week is range-based on all the pairs i focus on. index's have been slow as heck most of the month as well.

When you keep hearing 'higher timeframes are better' etc etc it is due to price range. On lower timeframes, levels tend to work almost as good but there is a catch: 1 tick may be 25-75% of the move to the next pivot. As you cannot breakdown 1 tick, ...

custos the reason I said there is no edge is because the first 5-sec candle has absolutely no directional edge; in trading things must be proven otherwise. His basis of a system is solely on money management, which is pretty faulty. Now...5-10-sec ...

Attempt for small stops is perfectly fine if you have an edge and wish that to be your MM goal. With that being said...they aren't using any edge. They enter with good r:r and hope it works. Good MM won't turn a losing system into a winner.

interactive brokers...generally .00005 spread on majors, and tight on others. get away from mt4 crap and you'll find decent brokers.

I used to have neoticker, which does. Costs about 1k. Also has a feature to randomly generate data. Other software like ninjatrader/sierra chart allow for simple market replays with what you describe.

Every trend trade is against a different trend, and is timeframe dependent; unless you are one of the few who lines up weekly/daily/4hr/1hr/15min/3min/10-sec trends...lol

I think I dislike breakouts and prefer rejection -> flip scenario. I didn't think breakout traders existed outside stocks lol (and only to the upside). The advantages of breakouts: momentum play, so easy to average-up without losing the edge of ...

I know a two guys who mentored a few novice traders and it went well. However, it was done in person and he took a % of their profits that they made after he trained them, as opposed to charging them for his valuable time. He had an office so they ...

The swing low/high of the day is often created within the first 60minutes of the euro session. Big positions are created and managed later on. Now..how can you use this information? Can the low/high be anticipated? Is momentum the strongest within ...
