Thank you for a nice and clean cut system Jiva! One question: Shoudn't it be "200 lsma for trend" instead of 21 in your first post?

This method is either the best thing since sliced bread or the worst thing since atom bomb. The way I try to deal with the DD is to only take profit when the DD is in my favor. When I take a profit and substitute the winning trade with a new one I ...

If you want to catch trends that way, maybe you should loose the indicators, just plot the 20 HMA on the chart or maybe 20 EMA and see how you'll do trading off fractal breakouts.

Nice idea. You might try putting in higher period HMA as a filter - e.g. 80. What lookback value do you use for SSL?

You decide how high is your risk. Volatility has nothing to do with it. Count money not pips.

In the very beginning I played with a lot of strategies involving MA crossing but have never been able to get any of them to work long term. In range they would ruin your account. In trend they would give signals late necessitating large stop losses ...

Another way to enter I found profitable is to look for momentum candles forming near or across 20 EMA. Here is an example of a trade I took today on GU - the candle is a little long +100 pips and it is a little late in session but I couldn't resist ...

Here it is. Red bar is where I entered (at open of the 15 minute bar). Blue lines are SL, entry point and TP respectively. It was actually a really nice setup because we've had at least two additional confirmations besides PA around 20 EMA: - 38.2 ...

I think we cannot equal earning money be means other than honest work with being a bad persons. There a lots of professions, by which people make ridiculous amounts of money. Should we say therefore that all these people are bad?

Just to illustrate the method - I am looking to enter short from m15 on EU right now. Waiting for the bar to close. ... and I went in.

Hi, I am learning trading forex but I am still far from losing the 'L' But the more I look at the charts the more I like 20 EMA. What I usually do is to have two TFs - either H1, M15 or H4, H1. I look on the higher one (let's say H4) and wait for ...

I am not sure. But his heritage surely lives on.

Oh man! How can you even call yourself a trader if you don't know about AS!!?? url Pray that Chicky and merlin don't stumble upon this thread because if they do they will ban you from FF for like forever and then they will hunt you down and kick ...

The only strategy that can do that consistently that I know of is the Amazing Strategy.

In that case all I can say is that if you can get these kinds of gains consistently you are probably the most successful scalper ever. And on behalf of the world I can only ask you: please do not trade like that or we are all doomed! If I calculated ...

From what I have noticed usually when people post their pip results using 5 decimal quotes they use a comma (point) in pip values e.g. +12,3 pips.

150 winning trades in 10 days. 80 pips profit per trade on average. 15 trades a day on average. ATR for EU is now between 150 and 200 pips. Yet you managed to follow the price for some 1200 pips each day on average. I am a rookie so maybe I am ...

Wow, does the thread grow! Hard to keep up with you guys. But a lot of interesting information here. My humble rookie voice in the discussion: Hey, don't charts like these give you a headache after a while? When I open some of my older templates (by ...

Here you have a link to my myfxbook demo. url Please do not suggest yourself with anything I am doing there. It is one huge educational experiment. I think I didn't block any access there so you can view all the retarded stuff I've done to this ...

There are some threads here at FF dedicated to SL vs no SL trading discussion. I am not an experienced trader but I have yet to hear one valid reason not to place a stop loss immediately upon opening a trade. Both of course. You must place a stop ...
