Hello Trout, Isn't your statement of "interesting times" part of an old Chinese curse? May you live in interesting times? Puritan

You seem to be going through what I first did when I started. I tried every indicator I could, but in the end I just work with a ema cross. It has taken me a number of years to sort through all of the data. In the end you have to go with what works ...

Did Livermore have trading insight? Yes, he is given credit for saying "the trend is your friend". Did he make some marvelous moves? Absolutely. Was he the greatest? Hardly. Even in his own time he could never best Arthur Cutten. Cutten was far ...

Ticking time bombs is a good way to put it. Maybe this is why HHS has purchase over 1 bil rounds of ammunition. In my view we are beginning to reap what we have sowed. For the last hundred years or so we have been living off of the Puritan capital ...

Yes, you are correct in pointing out the REAL unemployment numbers, spreadbetter. No body really spends much time discussing the labour participation rate which has been dropping. The numbers are skewed. Nonetheless, it merely underscores my ...

Well I guess this is the new normal when 7% unemployment is substantial progress. It would be nice if they ever were able to discover that they didn't make substantial progress. It was the people who made the "substantial progress" on unemployment. ...

Those Tea Party "morons" simply want the government to live within its means. People rant that the government is economy, if that is the case, then our problems are much more serious than a simple shut down. If that is the case then we are doomed ...

Perhaps it is because the Democrats are the ones who seem to have the largest spending plans and the littlest regards for a balanced budget. Too be sure, it hasn't always been this way. The one period of time in our history, under Andrew Jackson ...

Everyone wants to blame the house of Representatives, but seem to forget we get into this position far too often, what about the President and the Senate? They just want us to go deeper in the hole. How much more debt can the nation carry before we ...

Been reading a large number of responses to this thread, some helpful some well.... Here is a thought. Take your $50, when you have doubled take out the $50 you put in, after that point the trade doesn't owe you anything. If you lose the $50 analyze ...

Yes, but how do we generate jobs when the government is doing everything it can to discourage any and all who are in business? For example, how great is the impact of ObamaCare? The law of unintended consequences looms large in the sky. The more the ...

Neat concept. The risk is low enough that if you keep working at it ( employing trading methodologies you know work) you really should do well. I certainly don't have a 91 w/l ratio, but even my 2-1 w/l will generate a decent amount of money. Thanks ...

I am aware of the misconception. That said, one has to think of the profound statement I.E. Thomas said,"Whether some is real or not is inconsequential, if it is perceived as real it is real in its consequences". What is now called Keynesian ...

Oh joy, another Keynesian spend until everyone is broke. What happened to rationality and logic? They, like common sense, are cognitive constructs of a bygone era.

I don't understand why it is so horrible governments actually start, at least conceptually, to live within their means. Governments pumping their citizen's money into stimulus only has a short term effect. If a country is serious about getting their ...

Thanks for sharing this, it has real possibilities that I am confident will come into view the longer I work with it. Thanks again!

Thanks for the offer. Here is one that I have found to be effective. It is in the Euro/yen 5 min TF and the MA's are 5 and 8. I haven't done a lot of back testing on this so it would be interesting to see what the results would be.

After spending years testing out all of the indicators, I have successfully settled on just one, a moving average cross over. I have found that it works best with a specific pair and a specific time frame. It should be noted that they work not in ...

I think most people didn't listen to what Bernake really said. Tapering will only occur when the numbers indicate the economy is improving at the rate the Feds want. Recent data hasn't supported the notion of tapering, if anything it re-enforces the ...

From my experience (fx trading for over seven years) I think trading different time frames successfully largely depends on ones risk tolerance. I have tried trading shorter time frames and have always been beaten up badly. I trade the dailies with ...
