Obviously I need to take into account when I can devote uninterrupted time. I am trading the daily charts, only really looking at other timeframes when I am trying to find good entry and exit points on a trade I am already moving in on/out of. So I ...

My own answer to this question is 9am - 4pm EST. Too take advantage of the overlapping of the UK/US trading times. However I am asking because I am not at all sure that answer is correct!

I just wanted to note that I went aganist my own rules here and decided to let this run over the weekend. Why? 1) I set that rule for the wrong reasons. Believing that I am leaving myself open to nasty jumps, and while most trades will still be ...

My understanding is that volume is not very useful for forex as the indicator will only show the volume for your broker and will therefore be inaccurate.

A quick update on the swissy trade I am looking at. Since I posted it has entered another bearish period, this seems weak, but could still end up with a bearish rally. If it turns as I think it will, i'll hop on for a buy. If not, there are plenty ...

Making any short term target like this is foolish. Do not try and make money, in any amount. Instead try and make correct decisions. I know that sounds strange but I believe that it's true. Make correct decisions and you will make money. But if you ...

Well, still watching this develop. I also added a seperate MACD for other periods (40 80 10) to give me a second confirmation. I was also looking at adding some volume indicators but after reading up it seems that these are pretty irrelevant to ...

$100 a day? Easy, deliver pizza. It's easy, largely skill free, money is pretty consistent and guaranteed, and you get fringe benefits (free pizza obv). Do not under any circumstances try and trade on that basis. Its not possible and you are walking ...

Lastly on the subject of poker Caution in poker will often do more than lowering your win rate. A player who is too cautious will likely not have a winrate, unless you include losing as a 'win' rate. To cautious is a pretty much certain route to ...

Yes, I am currently reading a couple of books focused on indicators, this should hopefully help me learn more about what works for me, and then obviously I will need to drill down more into individual ones. A 10k account, buying 1 lot. I do not plan ...

OK, so I went a good few pips ahead and decided to drop to stoploss at breakeven and take the freeroll. It dropped and I stopped out with no loss. I'm not done with this trade though to be honest. Today looks like it will form yet another cross, ...

Yeah, I think I have too many useless indicators. Just trying different things and seeing what works for me Right now the trade is hovering right around resistence set by the last week. I am watching it to see if it will break through and move ...
