Profit taken, close enough to daily roll to not trust the 5th dig...will wait for a break or clear rejection.

Chart 1, trade with forecast

I must say, 15m does look like it's starting to compress... but, sometimes it's hard to distinguish that in low volume times.

Your kidding right? Theres no magic platform buddy. Stick with the higher timeframes and learn the basics. All you need is love........and a price chart...

As in, You're kidding right?

You don't need to stick to the higher timeframes, and in fact if you learn the fast charts, it will lend you the knowledge for the longer tfs...

All you need is a basic understanding of support and resistance. Sessions trading. Daily roll over. Breakout strategies. Trendlines. Direction. Money Management.

Anyone pay for e signals?
I've used it for a year and a bit in the past...a few years ago. Once I found a solid box of tools for MT4, I discontinued it. Haven't even looked at it since then. It certainly wasn't bad, by any means. I would be interested to see what it is like now...any improvements made...and how it would work for me now.

Will add it to the to-do list.

Yep... it takes time... keep at it. One way or another, you will find a way. All of us have and continue to do so. 3-5 years.

Samesies...

I took a support trade on a 1m chart to a resistance point on the daily roll...

From here, I coulda held the fucker, but really, I see us needing to test the H1 200EMA...so, why would I hold long or buy at resistance if I see price going down?

If we clear the zone...Shit, it only takes a click of a button to get back into the action...if we don't, shit, it only takes a click of the button to get on the short ride...

I don't like to commit, when I can whip the minz on simplicity...

You may like to google this for details. Short and simple - options expire at the closing price of a certain date. Since cash settelement is based on that closing price, a battle goes on to get a favorable price. Once this objective is achieved, price is again at the mercy of other market forces.

No system is perfect...but every little bit can help....

I run volume on a few charts, typically the daily to see what money is doing...

From there, it is just a matter of triggering the trends...and the tpl I posted for gamer is all ya need on an M1....
Mag...hate to bug you here.

Switching everything over from Dukas charts. They had a pretty decent volume indicator. Don't have one for MT4. Could you post up the one I see around the VSA threads...and on your charts from time to time? Would be much obliged.

Doesn't have to be now...just give me a poke when you post it...or tell me where I can grab it.

That is precisely what I have started doing...full time now. I love absolutely everything about jforex, except for the charting. MT4 is a little weak, too...I've used eSignal in the past...pretty good. MT4 has a few good things going for it, namely, an awful lot of talented coders around the world that make some pretty impressive tools. If it wasn't for that...I would close my terminals and forget them quicker than you can say...context busy!

Oh yeah, Stretch. If you're going to give MT4 a spin for charts, FXPro uses Dukascopy's price...
Not quite know if I understand you correctly, but you are suggesting FXPro?
Well at the moment I have jforex and the demo of MT4 (dukascopy) running, even while the demo ended, the prices still work and so does charting. Will keep it this way probably. I like the jforex too, but less for charting indeed.

Correction taken. You're as in "you're a tosser"?


In learning the aforementioned techniques, it is much easier using higher timeframes. As previously stated by another member, the higher timeframes give you much more time to make decisions and price action is easier to read. This is my own experience, however it is also the experience of the majority of successful traders, so giving your advice to someone who has just lost 80% of his gains trading 1 minute charts was probably not a great idea. Perhaps you found it easier learning on the lower timeframes? That does not necessarily mean it is suitable for all traders.

Enjoyed the mag with a couple coffees today. Nice one, mate.

Yeah its good, I enjoy reading about interviews (especially).
All of them give away some good bits and pieces every time.
