what reliable is the human brain. above is and we have god.

take the best system and best indicator, eventually they will fail. forex is not purely about system or indicators. The market is constantly changing. No system or indicator can adapt to it. I can tell you someone is making huge profit in the forex market. he has no system but a very good money management method. it shows that you can make profit if you manage your position properly.

to me indicators are like candle in total darkness. yes u can see but very limited. those who depend on indicators can make profit but it is limited. you will see that most system that are indicators dependent take profit from 20 - 100 pips but traders not using them taking profit from 500 to over a thousand pips.

Investment is boring, it takes a very long time to gain something. if you are looking for fast cash, go join mlm or something.

Agreed... But I Think Signals from combination of different indicators are of very good Impact and Reliable........

using different indicators... is like using different timeframes... because many times they have different parameters...
for example.. you may have.. a momentum 10, a stochastics 14, and a moving average 100... it's all different periods and it reflects like different timeframes... it may become difficult to have a combination of all of them with a good signal... My experience is that is better to only use 1 indicator and read it in different timeframes.

yes... Imran method can be good... but I like to keep it simple.

Imran may have found with hard work.. and a lot of system adjustments to find a good system that works now... but market will change its behaviour (because it always does) and then he will have to readjust the parameters of the indicators to have the same success ratio. and have a 1.3 version and then a 1.4 version a so... That is easier to do with only 1 indicator.

Do you know the concept of the lucky of the newbie? That's because it uses a simple method... as soon as it starts learning other things... and mixing concepts... starts to lose because starts to make it complex.

i would like to throw one of the biggest missconcept question

why would an indicator works in trading?

the probable answer...

1. since based on historical chart they seem to signal entry before the price move to certain direction....

in other word, the indicator predicts the market direction

do you really think this is a logical statement? and would you risk your hard-earned money on such belief? how about "repainting" indicators like fractals, QQE, accelerator/decelarator

2. it is a self fulfilling prophecy

since thousands of traders use similar indi, they will react the same

how many new indicators are being made every day? compare an indicator on a pair with different broker's feed, try odl and fxdd for example. do they give the same signals?

think about this,

can you predict whether tomorrow is going to rain or not with high accuracy?

if you can't why risk your money on something that even harder to predict?

but hey, we all still does it anyway, we are still here learning to understand the forex movement

now, let's say you live in town A which is on a raining season, you are on day 1 of the month, and our task is to predict tomorrow's weather for a full month

what is the chance that we will make a correct prediction by predicting that tomorrow is going to rain (trend follower)? and how's that compare to those who predict that tomorrow's going to be a sunny day (scalpers)?

and now in order to predict the weather with more accuracy would it be better to predict just based on our town's today's weather for e.g, if today's raining then tomorrow is going to rain, vice versa, if today's sunny then tomorrow is sunny and so on

RAIN - RAIN - RAIN - RAIN = Trending market
SUNNY - SUNNY - SUNNY - SUNNY = Trending market
RAIN - RAIN - RAIN - SUNNY - SUNNY - SUNNY = Reversal
RAIN - SUNNY - RAIN - SUNNY = Ranging market

OR perhaps we could collect from neighbooring town's today's weather to predict what will happen tomorrow

let say we have town A, B, C, D, E in 50 km radius

if town A,B,C,D,E = RAIN what is the probability of town A is going to rain tomorrow?

what if we have mixed weathers on a day?

would that improve our predicition? or not?

Well Here im not agree with your concept... I think Imran's Scalping methos is the best Ever and successfull ever i have seen in this form. He uses lot of indicators and his entry is based on the combination of different indicator's and success ratio is also excellent i think it's the favourate method of scalper's...
Also You say's Newbie's need simpicity in their system but you are forgetting that simplicity also need's perfection... Simplicity will be useless without +ve Outcomes...Anyway's i think it's a vauge discussion...Not related with the topic......

whatever people use, the most important things is the "understanding".

Technical Understanding

if we use indicator, we have to understand how it reflect with the market & what information/clue it give to us.

if we use price action, we also have to understand what the information/clue it give to us.

Money Management & Position Sizing understanding

beside technical, this will help us to stay for a long period in the market. We need to understand how to control/manage our money.

trading is about package....technicals...fundementals...money management...phsycology etc.

thnx

The problem is all indicators lag, so when you apply these to your charts, you're trading the past! Essentialy playing catch up.

I had fairly good success using the QQE filtered with laguerre rsi. I need help finding an alert that signals when the rsi crosses its set boundaries.
Thanks.

Well, Trollmann had his own thread here on FF with many explanations (still her, but locked because he decided to create his own forum just for scalpers -helping scalpers).

Also he had written an e-book with explanations to his method.

I never found a pdf but found a word document but still it all seems a bit vague to me. The same with his thread which seems mostly left up to individual interpretation.

Anyways by watching the rainbow my interpretation is that its signal is when the price action passes the bold white line up/down using the 1/5min chart, or maybe when rainbow flattens out and then makes its move (I might be way off though)...

The PDF is on the site, explaining the method...but anyway...the word doc. is indeed of a member.

We use it on 1 sec. chart...I alone have written so many rules and manners to trade it...but your interpretation is also good...
