i don't know about TDI - don't want to start learning new bags of tricks. i think though, at least now, one needs to find confluent and more perfect setups. to trade much less.

thanks everyone, including dkrock for the indicator. i actually have been mucking around with trend lines and didn't get a good result after 1h tests 85 trades sample. its possible though that more requirements are needed ie confluence to make it ...

so u guys think my 4h system might be a working system? and even after 20 trades it can be normal to sometimes get say 0R or 5R? i haven't succeeded so i don't know what normal likes like

yes it does make sense and that's probably what the top traders are doing. thanks havo. that would be a good way to go.

Thanks havo and others. Definitely some great ideas here. Havo - that's amazing. i think i know what you are saying. execute a short term trade like 20 pips, or even less, and just let it run sick forever. "can I"? i don't know, but i do need the ...

does this thing still work? i download the ql4, clicked compile and i don't think it did it successfully. plz help with any steps needed (i need an indicator or something to plot vertical lines of PAST news events. so i can see what happened on high ...

i'm new but this is scary stuff. if one was trading the 1h timeframe, or 15min, stop loss size is very narrow => massive loss. negative value even. maybe it's better to trade 4h + timeframes only (stop losses tend to be bigger)? i feel scared to ...

i see that some people trade price rather than the candlestick. e.g. if price breaks past a certain level, jump in, even if the candlestick hasn't completed or near completed. what is the correct approach, or which do you use and why ? if u trade ...
