You cant, and you dont need to! If you are a trend follower then you probably know that few huge trades makes up (and + some more ) for a long series of frustrating small loses. Can you afford to miss one of them (big winners), while trying to ...

It is a common myth, in my humble opinion that the spread matters less if you are trading on higher timeframes (daily, weekly etc). One of my favorite methods, trades 15 times a year per pair on average, and it wins anywhere from 20-28 pips per ...

I never tried this, but I agree it is totally out of the box. So, Were you " buying left, and selling right", or the other way around!

The battle of trailing stops (tighter or wider) is pretty much matter of trader choice. As a rule of thumb though, I ve found that wider trailing mechanism means more profitability but wilder equity swings, and tighter the trailing stops - reduces ...

What defines a system good or bad is its profitability only. Not percentages of account gained. A good system should be universal (works on all instruments and all timeframes), and robust (stands the tests of time). These characteristics are to be ...

Another IB on USDJPY daily worked out, only 30 pips risk. Hope everyone got that.

If price hit your order in active trading hours it will most likely get hit. If market is very fast you may get some slippage against you, or in your favour, depending where the market is going. If market gaps around your order however, during the ...

"Central banks control FX market" Well! Another myth went BUSTED!

Ha! This notion is something I realized few months ago (not bragging), and use it in arguments of why trading the breakout is superior with "waiting for pullback". I am very glad to be on a same page with Mr. Rensink. Put it in other words, 1. price ...

I was misunderstood! I like trowing ideas on table a lot. Doesnt mean that I trade it (the idea) or encourage someone to trade it before a carefull research is conducted. I wouldnt put money at risk at anything I havent checked and researched in ...

What caught my eye in the presentation, was also taking a counter trend trade. In the first line when he was describing the dibs rules Joel said " take the breakout of inside bar, with stop and reverse on the other side". This type of trading was ...

Are you serious? Well in case you are, I am sure youll get a lot of e-mails as a response to this post, claiming that 10000 USD.There are much more people that make a living from system selling, and market analyzing then from actual trading. You can ...

This was the most interesting part for me too. There are times when Donchian channel is broken and price just climbs up to it like its never coming back. When I see this in realtime happening, (on short timeframes) it looks like my monitor is ...

WOW! Thank you Timek!

Vee! Are you gonna take your profit at R4 as first planned, or you try to build a millipede onto this trade? In case of following the initial plan, (stop loss or R4), I feel that maybe you shouldnt move stop to BE, cause it may mix the results ...

A big gratitude to Graeme and Vee for the effort of providing us with first class live lectures. @Graeme! I must say I am very excited about the direction where the thread is headed atm, because expansion of the MA is the most important theory by ...

AUDUSD, GBPUSD, EURUSD, USDCHF they are all flying as we speak. I am selling USD as madman. Pull up your 5 minute charts and watch. THis is momentum. Is our biggest chance to add freetrades to the millipede. I have so many of them (BE`s) that I cant ...
