5 minute would work BUT only if you are picky and olny take trades once a market is trending, wait for a break out and play a continuation, rather than taking all the IB's in a choppy range.

Crossed wires i guess. If it's in a large uptrend then don't take the short. If you are taking the short you must believe that the uptrend is over, exit the long and lock in that profit and then go short the full amount for the short. Otherwise, if ...

Save clogging up the thread with bizzare "hedging things" here's two links here where they have been extensively discussed. url url

Yes but if you are long 4 and short 5 then you are short 1..that is a fact. doesn't matter how you word it or if you have two accounts or whatever you still would have a net short position. say you keep open you're long, and open a short of the same ...

If you are LONG and you get a revesal signal that would mean that the trend is over and you would want to exit your LONG and maybe go short. Opening a separate short position acheives nothing, it just offsets the other position so you don't make ...

That is up to you. By only taking trades with the trend you may miss a big reversal...BUT you may also miss quite a few fakeouts.

Scary.......... Good reminder to keep those losses small!

Couldn't agree more. Look at the last few years....... Remember oil hitting $138 and everyone was moaning about the price of petrol...all the analysts etc were calling $200 etc and what happened.........$50 S&p hit 666 (if i remember rightly) ...

Not a smart ass at all, if you check the few posts i've put here and the ones on Trade2win under the same user name you'd see i'm usually trying to help people who are confuse or want help etc. I was actually trying to be helpful to anyone who was ...

I was just making a point that may interested some who have looked at smaller TF's but obviously that is not allowed here, except for when you decide to mention you're attempts at trading small timeframes. Guess it must be one rule for you another ...

Timeframes — A little note about timeframes, sorry if this distracts from your point but thought this might be of interest to a few. I mainly trade off the 1hr charts (you may not approve but hey...you're not me) Now i've not taken all these ...

Thanks, just wanted to see what others thought, EURUSD looks like a lame dog compared to cable which over the same period, entering with the same criteria, mainly Hourly Dibs and some Pins would've made 1000+ pips

Does anyone have any data on their trades in EURUSD in recent months, as this on (to me anyway) doesn't really seem to breakout nicely. I think over the last 6 weeks it has only produced 95 pips from 28 trades so it would be interesting to see ...

Cable Dibs
- foredog replied Sep 24, 2009
The power of letting it run, as i said i snatched a quick 80 points out of the cable DIBs this morning, if i'd been patient i would now have my stop above the 11am candle (not yet closed) whose high is 16200, so even with stop at 16206 would've had ...

Lovely Dibs at 7am on cable. Taking out the lows and falling 100+. I snatched profits on this, which is the area i need to work on, but still got 4x risk. woud now be 7x though...naughty me!

4. A pencil?
- foredog replied Sep 16, 2009
I never said you were wrong. I was just attempting to clear up what appeared to be cross messages. You're use of the word trend probably "spooked" a few who thought you meant trading against the larger trend (down) as opposed to after the short term ...

I'd guess that most of these guys would call it selling a pullback, five up bars is hardly a trend.....

BUYERS push prices UP....so until more people wish to SELL then there will be more BUYERS so price should rise. Think house prices....went up with easy credit...more buyers, have fallen now there's less credit, eg less buyers and more sellers ...
