Looking for a channel to trade closing up to NFP. This is one possibility but I expect we will have to go to 1 Hr as this settles down. Either way, there will be some great counters out there thru morning up until release. Pair has tested the back side of that 1 Hr UTL and it seems to be holding.

Hi Notch, I dont see NeuroShell RT Trader, did you mean DayTrader Professional?

Yes NeuroShell daytrader.

I was confusing it with TradingSolution Real-Time. A product that I purchased only to find out that there is a problem at the heart of the technology.

There are numerous studies available within NeuroShell but my system uses Adaptive TurboProp2 indicator, Principal Component Analysis and Wavelets.

Question for all the experts here:

I'm not sure that i understand this fully...but to me it seems like no matter what the news is....it's always bad for USD. Everytime we get + numbers on US fundies, EUR goes Up, Now we have bad news on EUR and again EUR goes Up. So what kind of news do we need for EUR to go down? Just wondering how this whole thing works b/c as i see it...it seems like no matter what...USD keeps going down.

Hello everyone, I got a little confused here, and I want to hear your pros advise.

I'm a newbie FX trader, trading just for 6 months. Now I'm developing my own trading system, which works well in swing market condition, but soso in market like this week.

each time I entry, I have a high potential rate of market following my signal. If the market does so, I hold and wait. If it not and give reserve signal, I close position and go opposite.

The problem partly comes from of my greedy. I always hope market could move in a large direction(like...
sorry mate u already said that -------->The problem partly comes from of my greedy... use stop loss take what u see and buy another ticket ,sometimes the train stops to buy gas...just saying am not a pro just a contribution

yes, stocks are down and this is due to the fact that banks STILL have bad loans on their books.....


mm

p.s. 30+% run up in the DOW w/o retracement.....smells fishy
mm, they do have a lot of bad loans on the books, but they are also cranking out a whole bunch of new ones. wells fargo did 800,000 loans in the first quarter alone. no stated/stated, all income qualifying and a lot of fha, which is 100% insured by uncle sam. plus, is in the process of buying up all those bad loans.

as for retrace, i see small pull backs from here until 9000, then maybe a big breather?

I had the same problem with my model. I came to realise that it is more psychological than system performance. What is the profit/loss ratio of your system? My system has a ratio of four, so on average I should earn 4 in profit for every pound put at risk. The down side is that it some times has a series of losses that I find hard to stomach or that I'm sitting on a heap of pips only to see them evaporate because no exit signal is generated.

But the expectancy/profit ratio changes if I start to second guess the signals of the model. Either, trade it or redevelop it to reflect your exact risk appetite.

My two cents.

Is anyone else trading the bearish butterfly that completed it's initial formation at the 1.3469 high?

I'm presently targeting the equilibrium point of 1.3308-ish but it could move along fast so I would feel better.

(Note: I'm trading the 1-hr and 15m timeframe)

more and more traders are starting to realize that the dollars they have are worthless since the FED is going to send more new ones from the helicopter the next day... so what do you do having those papers ? convert them into something with more value before it is too late...

Believe me, I have been trading for 10 + years, however, not all in Forex. It's all about momentum, momentum, momentum. I would never trade a news release. I always wait to see where the dust settles, then I trade the aftermath, or momentum it takes when it bounces or breaks. That is the best advice I can give you.

You're always best off to just trade the market and ignore the news/reasons why the market's moving. All that matters is how the market reacts.
