Ah, the never-ending rookie quest for Holy grail indicator settings. Always amusing.

Potentially anyway. 4H bar is above it, but I'll hold my breath until it closes above it.

Well, everyone is different, but I find after 10 years of trading that indicators are all worthless except for MACD divergence as a POSSIBLE indication of trend change. That's it.

I like for everyone understand how indicators will place you exactly where you need to be....... On April 17th an indicator of my showed the up trend to be long term and I placed a trade in at that time and my entry was at the 101.81 and I am still in this trade and I will close it at the 110.00....... This does not count the pips I make daily off the trend......

Dove, I'm not trying to downplay your own use of indicators in your trading success. Just that most newbies in the first year or three of trading are constantly on that quest (I was too) and don't realize that trading has a lot less to do with indicator settings than money management and proper stops. Its something that is constantly hammered home but never fully realized until one has a oneness with market price movements. For me, I can trade absolutely without them and my own experience is that they are unnecessary. No offense to you, Dove, as they may be an integral part of your plan , I just don't want newbies to be at all misled that any indicator setting will ever lead to their own success. Also, your own or my own indicator setting may work for US, but never for others. Cheers. And happy trading to everyone.

I would like to show everyone how indicators can get you on the wrongside of the trade. They are lagging and don't give you a true picture of what is really going on behind price action.


Dove I can show you many examples where indicators fail badly. They aint worth a whole lot. That is why folks go looking for the newest greatest indicators cause there old ones work for a bit then fail them.
