Gator and FX Petra, did you stick with the short trade from 1.4100 from yesterday or did you chicken it out?

Beer is on the house.
Don't know about them but I stayed up all night nursing my newly found ulcer from comitting my biggest sin - the dreaded over leverage with standard lots.

Lowest marging was 179%. Not smart at all.

Lesson to everyone that hasn't been their yet - Don't do it.

This time it payed off big time but note to self - Never again.

Half my positions closed and the other half at BE. Looking to close around 1.35

I am strongly in favour of 1.3932 as long as 1.4072 isn't taken out with CONVICTION. Supply is building at 1.4072 as I type of I don't see enough demand to stop the price from falling to 1.3932 at which point there is plenty of demand. But if 1.3932 is taken out with conviction then I expect the price to fall to 1.3862 at an eye watering speed. I'm waiting for the next test of 1.4072 to go short. Market Profile.

So, next signal as you mentioned would be an uptrend, since the indicator just shows UP or DOWN once...

Covered my short...sweet action. Very nice of market to give me chance to get out before "FED". That trade makes my week.

I think I might try to get short again on any pop on news.

Yes but I don't use it in isolation. You really have to watch it for a few days and decide how or if you'll integrate it into your methods.

Decide for yourself.

EUR/USD long trade before FOMC. Nice channel forming since last evening. Would have much preferred to have gotten in at the top of the channel but wasn't paying attention

What if the trend has changed? Will you add untill your account disappears?
Yeah,when a trend changes i go with it.But i always never have lost following a trend except for my own indecipline.
You say when do you know when a trend has changed,simple once you feel Unconfortable with the trade.Thats if you have a plan and know how it works.Just like your normal indicator "TRAP" when this crosses this buy or sell right?

Most of the time when a trend changes it would almost always correct substanssially before taking off.Check out Forex in action,

Cobra,

I had 1 lot stopped out at 4125, but I let the other keep running to 4025, 38.2% of yesterday's up move. I also caught another 30 pips on the stop run below 1.4000, from 1.3995 down to 65. 1 loser, but 2 big winners! I must confess, I was sweating it out near 1.4140.

Not sure about longs at this moment, will wait for Asian performance to take a position in the London session.

Flat and happy to be at the moment.

At the early London session I didn't feel very comfort neither but took the advice from Jay to tape the hat and got out at my DP, 1.4001 with all lots.

Could have made 50 pips more but the nerves and the hat, you know.

A channel within a channel...trippy. My game plan for the rest of today is to buy at the lower wall of the green channel or sell at the upper wall of the coral channel. I would prefer alot more if it was selling at the upper wall as it coincides with the strong support at the high....a retest to make sure its resistance now would be nice. Of course any trades would be after the FOMC statement as what will be said is still a mystery. The main issue on my mind is if the Feds will give any clue as to whether they will continue buying treasuries or not (those bond auctions).

Careful pippin all

OMG! How difficult can it be to understand that line? Just look at the pips it would have earned you over the last several days/weeks etc. Just watch it for a few days on various TM then make up your mind.

Notch,

Do you have the code for that indicator or only the compiled version?

My readon for asking is that it lags my indicator by approx 4 bars on 5M.

Curious how the code was done.

A quick glance the 2 indis lined up once. But really a quick glance.

If you don't have the sorce code could you point me to the direction of the author.

It is the same as the volty (with source) that I posted on the previous page.


Please post your indicator or post a chart. Prove your claims. You can alter the settings to make it more responsive at the expense of more whiplash but - as I said - the current settings are good for me as this indy acts as a trigger for longer term trades.

It's basically a trailing ATR stop.
