1. I'd say technical. Everything you need to trade successfully is right on the chart in front of you, you just have to decode it. 2. In my experience, the ratio between strategy/psychology is 25/75. Someone can make money from a strategy which ...

Congrats Kov, your first proper jealous hater - it's a sign you've made it ;-)

Scott - the zone was good, but what you have there is unconfirmed ftb trade against strong trend, the tight stop is not appropriate. Since it is highly likely price can break the zone and then RT, you should use an atr based stop here to give ...

Kov - quick question buddy - why do you keep track of number of pips like this? 200 pips on GBPNZD is very different from 200 pips on EURGBP for instance. Doesn't it make more sense to keep track of RR multiples, or %age account gain?

Hey guys, smimon here from RTM. Great to see you guys active and killing the markets as usual :-) I've been on the sidelines this week, busy with Xmas stuff, and also was unsure of trading conditions in the run up to Xmas and NY - I know a lot of ...

Talking to myself here I know, but interested in this idea - going to fire up Matlab over the weekend, stick a debugger on it, and walk through genhurst so I can replicate the code precisely in MT4, and come up with an indi to show the Hurst ...

Been considering this myself after reading Ernest Chan - Algorithmic Trading. There is a MATLAB library referenced in the book for finding the "generalised Hurst exponent of a stochastic variable". The source code can be found here url I'm a ...

Hey Yogi. Actually, USDX should be balanced according to the trade-weighted percentages of its 5 largest trading partners. These can be found here url You can also in this fashion make composite indexes for AUDX, CADX, CHFX, EURX, GBPX, JPYX and ...

A flag limit is a cluster of orders that limits the edges of a flag, not the edge of the flag itself. Mohsin, your timeframe is too high to see details clearly. Try dropping to M5 or M1 and zooming the chart as far out as you can for a clearer ...

Could someone please explain to me what is meant by "completing the flag"? I've seen the term used on PIE, and in here a couple of times too, but I'm unsure as to when it applies, and what the significance is. Thanks

Excuse me for dredging up an old comment, but what if there is a pole base within an important FL, but not at the edge of the FL? Which is then the important engulf - the engulf of the edge of the FL, or the engulf of the pole base? I'll post a ...

Brilliant, thanks Yogi, that's exactly what I was after. That makes reading things an awful lot simpler. Now I've just got to figure out what I didn't read correctly when the principle seems to fail!
- Hoodlum replied Jan 9, 2015
Hah, I was thinking that might be the answer! From what I've seen myself, sometimes the DP to engulf becomes an important level in its own right, and sometimes it seems inconsequential. It's figuring out why that's preventing me from getting over ...

Hey everyone, great thread, really picked up a lot from it, thanks to all, especially IF. One thing still puzzles me a little however. I've created a few images to help me explain myself. In the first chart here, we're on a bullish move, and there ...

Haha, glad it's not just me then. I have been using this style of analysis quite successfully, honest... Yes you're 100% right about assessing the market when it gets in range. Patience is a big problem I'm battling, probably the last ...

Well we got a small reaction at 1900, but much more bullish than I thought, and price is now up and around the supply area that caused the engulf of the strong D1 surge area to the left. I'd expect a strong reaction to this supply level, dropping ...

Ok, my data feed is crappy, so not sure of the accuracy of these levels. Daily - we reacted strongly to the demand level shown in green. A few days prior, the decision was made to push price down through an important level, shown in red. We also ...

Hey pal - do you mind me posting up a couple of charts with my slightly longer term outlook based on what I can see on the charts? It's not based on volume profile, rather simply analysis of S/D and SR levels. No worries if you want to keep the ...
- Hoodlum replied Oct 14, 2014
Hey pal, good to see you posting again. Been off doing quite a bit of study over the last few months. I didn't really have a good enough understanding of the markets when I first found this volume profile stuff some time ago to put it to best use. ...

Hey, I'd just like to share something I've been working on, as I found it of interest. After trying to trade for a week using daily/weekly volume profiles (with VPOC, VAH/VAL etc), I ended up abandoning them, as it was interfering with my preferred ...
