Ok, real slow........ you say high ART = less liquidity..... this is an indirect relationship..... Did you do maths??
- juandeseta replied Mar 31, 2009

Guys, all I'm saying is people put to much weight on indicators. I would also like to say I'm not bashing indicators because they failed me, I make money without them. Also, I see people feel it's fashionable to bash indicators... why then has not ...

Ok guys, I must be honest. I would like to retract my comment about indicators being completely useless and replace it with "are of minimal use and at best, just guidelines." Lets take what craig said about ATR. This indicator measures volatility, ...

Smittens4212. The problem is knowing when the market is trend or range. This is also subjective.

Thanks for your post Rabid. I find your argument insightful, but I'd be willing to take a bet that it's not the indicators that you use that make you a good trader, its everything else. Psychology, MM, understanding mass expectations etc... You've ...

I knew there would be trade examples to prove that indicators work. Don't you see how subjective they are. I could for ANY price justify my trades with indicators, all you have to do is tweak the settings or time frames. Also Jhig, isn't reading ...

Thanks pipmutt, no offense taken. What you said about letting the market tell you when it time to get out makes sense. When 'dancing' with the market it's best to let it lead, but your signal to exit needs to be objective and give you a fast heads ...

Question: When evaluating your risk, besides the amount of money at risk per trade, what do you look at? Some things I look at: 1) Time of day 2) Economics announcements pending 3) Currency being traded 4) Daily range 5) Distance price must travel ...

Pipmut. Thanks for the reply. I've been using this technique with a negative R:R ratio for some time now and find that so far it has produced better results for me. I look for specific entries and go for small targets. This means my exposure to the ...
