{quote} It's how you use it. You lean on yours making price secondary, thus you put indicators first. This is a subtle difference but you appear unable to grasp it. However, I am not perfect but at least I admit it. I merely drifted in and noted your struggle with your critics and merely wished to add my view before drifting off to more interesting reading on Divergence's thread.
What critics? Oh them! They are wasting their own time. Drop by some time would like to discuss that "unable to gasp".

Hi Tekkies,

The M30 1 SMA leads the way and the M1 1 SMA (Black) is the Trigger.

{quote} Here's another example. Sometimes thinking outside the box can really create something... Hmm {image}
- Have tried to only trade with line chart. You can clearly see the trend. (the day after it happened). Got burned in demo and walked away. Even proudly told a member that is how I want to trade.

Thanks Steve.
Would rather stick to what I know. M15H1 works for me, happy with what the market is willing to give to me.
Really don't care if it is the TDI crossover or Post#647 that make it work.
Those that come to visit to bash TDI are more then welcome. It will not change me or M15H1

Let patt and divergence show the way to go. Trouble is it takes hard work and dedication.

Anyone who thinks that trading can be made simple is deluded.

So what can be said about an individual who started a thread with those words in the title? Furthermore, that thread is filled with the same content as it ever was years later and no one is ever talking about how delighted they are with their earnings.

I mean, even Davit has dropped it.

I'm not going to bash Tekkies, but I struggle to understand the logic of what he said. If he was sat in front of me, I'm sure we'd laugh about it. But much can be misinterpreted in writing.

I think there are many traders who simply don't have the account size to trade futures. The problem is that it is easy to get stuck in a loop, and a few losses at 5 dollars a contract is going to be hard to swallow.

Psychologically speaking, you could say 'if you aren't profitable in FX, what chance are you going to have in futures?'

I know brokers make you a market, but there are some well respected guys that have made money despite that (hilmy).

I get the closed mindset, but having traded both, the follow throughs you get on the nq can carry you sometimes, even if your entry isn't that perfect. Yes, it can slap you but I'd rather learn on something that is regulated.

You just have to keep an open mind, and if you can't do that then good luck operating within your silo.

Hi Tekkies,

Only you know where you are at with your Trading.

The only advice I would give, for what it is worth, is keep an open mind to new ideas.

Forex can be very profitable and very easy to trade with the correct tools, some traders just never found the right pathway.

If it goes up, BUY with a Average Price Exit Strategy using a EA. If it goes down, SELL with a Average Price Exit Strategy using a EA.

If your Reversal Build EA that is BUYING is experiencing a major Draw Down, hedge it with a SELLING Trend Build EA.
If your Reversal Build EA that is SELLING is experiencing a major Draw Down, hedge it with a BUYING Trend Build EA.

Price either goes up or down, just take the trade. The problem is some traders try to TIME THE ENTRY, that's very tough.
Why bother, my entry's are careless but normally end with good profits.

Hi Munchie
All fully automated.
That was one 10 k account trading 7 EA’s. Two primary EA’s which are reversal models, 3 trend models to use hedge the first two models. Also two more models to handle any flash crashes which may occur again. They trade only with small to moderate size trades because you will have 80- 180 trades opened at any one time. I would say I harvest pips with lots of small wins rather than take any big winnings. The hedging trend models still make profits as well but they are there to protect the account.

But you openly admitted that you weren't profitable. Which is a statement of fact that you made and only you know.

As a key poster on this forum, having made that statement, how can you expect anybody of sound mind to feel they can build a future for themselves with this. Where/how can you go back on admitting that?

You are correct when you say 'who cares'.

But, that in itself another contradiction. Because if you didn't care, why post on a subject that doesn't make you money or enrich you in some other way?

On reflection I think what you said and what you meant could have been misinterpreted/lost in translation.

I do have loses. I don't make money consistently therefor I am not profitable.
What I do everyday is to grow my account by xxx profit. Even 1 pip growth makes me grateful. It is one pip more then what I did not had in my account yesterday.

What did you not understood.

- I am not profitable
The mindset of many here is when they read "I am a profitable trader" they lose all sense. Thinking "I must learn all I can from this trader, he will make me rich"
How many FF members accused the thread starter for making false claim to be profitable and the method is profitable. (BigE included) The word "profitable" failed them because they have are not willing to do the hard work.
Members read profitable, place trades based on the claim of profitable and get burned.

- ..............grow my account by xxx profit.............
He does not claim to be profitable and still manage to grow account. How come?
Hopefully the member will start to learn how to grow an account is based on hard work, many hours of live screen time. Not the magic words "I am profitable"
----
You yourself have showed the typical mindset that is displayed by members. The word "not profitable" overshadowed the words "grow my account" clouding sound judgment and reasoning.
