Quoting Mr J
So there's reason to call a bottom when your custom stochastic is oversold? Tha may not be quite what you meant, but the market doesn't care about "oversold".

Anyone check out the GS hearings? What a joke.
I do not mean a major bottom. At least a short term bottom / low will be put when my indicators line up. It's not just stochastic with specific settings, but a few other factors too. And I will post here when the market is ready for it with potential upside targets too. But I said, no reason to call a short term low yet. I still do not see my favorite setup.

Try this average down Long lot 01/02/03/04/05/06/07/08/09/ Every?

Depends on volatility of the pair? Could be 20-50 pips or more

Depends on account and Balance adjust either 0.01/0.02 and on

or 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/8/10/11 and on

whatever

retrace even to the middle back =

Payday..

And don't tell me that it will go straight to 1.23 non stop..

It can drop to 1.30, and then retrace to 1.3130 and I will STILL make a money..

And I don't have to f*Guess which way whatever.. I don't care..

Just make sure you don't buy Tops and Sell bottoms, that's...
So you dollar cost average at different levels scaling in using same size lots ie

Buy 1 @ 1.38
Buy 1 @ 1.37
Buy 1 @ 1.36
Buy 1 @ 1.35
Buy 1 @ 1.34

Average is 1.36, so aim to sell at 1.36+? IMO you are playing with fire, because that is acceptable strategy in an up trend, not in a down trend.
Prices oscillate, trends persist. Trend is your friend.

Depends on your cash reserves
Or? right! Lot size!!!

If I can always win with small lot size and 100k Account making few hundred

$$ so be it. Nothing wrong with that.. The problem is Small account

and large bets.. That's why we are comparing apples to oranges here.

Whatever floats the boat..

anyone know of a good place where i can open an account with less that 5k to trade Sp minis and dow minis?
however 5 k may not be enough

1 es is about 3600 margin requirement and 10 point move aginast you , you have lost 1 k just like that

i would stick to fx for now... but that is just me.

I have a MF global futures account where I trade fx , gold , and index futures

the market will jerk everyone this time, and continue down. That new low wasn't set for nothing.
Even the other guys are on board the short train!
Trend doesn't lie. I told the forum this way back. Long term target, 1.26 before any real retracement,

Please lets go back to the topic.. I don't say same lot sizes, that's what I

mean by

0.10/0.20/0.30 and so on.. lower/higher it goes against more you bet

and it's reasonable.. And I say catching waves.. My entries now

starts from 1.3186... Count from there.. ok? And wait till 1.34

next week.. That's where your Indy will sound buy alarm..

Be reasonable.. Did EU went from 1.3205 to 1.3420 couple of days ago?

Ok now 1.3050 to 1.33+ And I'm buying below 1.32 like money in the

bank.. Just watch.. Should it go lower? even better.

Damn Skyzer! I have been doing the opposite of what you speak and I managed to get some profit!

Now I am in the same boat with you! I am long and that makes me very scared!! Arghhh!
That is hilarious. I do the SAME thing and come out good too. But now I am long too. I probably go long about twice a month, short about 200. It feels like I'm on that old show "Fear Factor", where people do crazy-scary things like get in a tank for 2 minutes with a thousand spiders and get paid if they make it. I wish I knew how to post a vid of that-cuz that's how I feel at .3170.

Legging into a position works you just have to find S/R on your charts...i sold EU/JPY Friday at 125...watched it get me down over 100 pips but was waiting for a test of 127 to add lots to my trade thinking 12790 would be last stand RES....got out today w/o adding...i dont see any problems with Skyz buying...if you plan on averaging your way in...but at the same time looking at S/R zones on charts with some TLs there have been fairly easy buy/sells w/o adding lots and waiting for trades to turn positive...just remember theres more than one way to skin a cat

I'm not in this pair, but if I felt like scalping a long, it would be right here. Trouble is it's the end of the day and the trend is down. I would not trade at this time.
