{quote} I dont know for other strategies, but for patterns, the higher you go the better results will you get.Because the trend and the momentum of price is stronger at higher timeframes, so a hammer is stronger at H1 than on M1, just as it is told by my spreadsheet, but you have to count the time too, you can have 50 trades on M1 before you get 1 trade on H4, but also the spread is stronger on low timeframe, so you have to decide. If you have an ECN with no spread or a marketmaker with fixed spread than M1 is the best TF because you can trade many...

Now now, Turv, don't get all chafed on us....

Some people have asked a few questions of you. No one has called you stupid ( like you just did to us). If can answer the questions as a legitimate trader, that would go a very long way.

So far, what you say, and what you do are discordant. Do you deny this?

Well, ol Turv tapped out. He put me on ignore. Too many well placed questions I suppose for him to handle.

Magix, nubcake, you were right.

In a way, I feel badly for that poor chap.

good morning from a wind swept rained out uk. I wont be on here much today as it makes me sad but someone mentioned ema cross overs...
as I told the thread owner The Redlion,,, my daughter got me onto trading a 2/20 crossover but I developed it more.
she had a massive strike rate but wouldn't quite tell me how she traded but I am sure I cracked it lol.
One thing I did ask was,,,, what happens when it ranges you'll be smashed...She answered with STUPID, YOU JUST DONT TRADE.. simple enough I thought .Her set ups came every few days and then she stopped trading and went onto other things.
she was 10 when she stopped trading

before she went to school or after she came back she would be watching me trading and watching charts and asking questions,,,, why has it gone up why has it gone down, whats this whats that??? so I let her play on my laptop. one day I was explaining waves as in Elliot wave theory (AND NO I never traded off Elliot wave knowingly) but she actually corrected me , she actually had the balls to tell her dad I was explaining waves wrong (she was 8) so I let her trade at 50p per pip and she ended up about 18 months later trading £1 per pip lol. she progressed to 2/20 ema cross. then stopped.
she is the only person I know who could trade and talk about unicorns (hence my signature) elves fairies and other girly things.

and just like me she doesn't know too much about the markets, perhaps this is what is needed, NO IDEA, Just trade

You can tell how truly intelligent a person is by how resourcefully he defends his incorrect conclusions.

Newton spent most of his time trying to turn lead into gold.
Jefferson thought it was useless to try to teach slaves to read; they were just not able.

Just because you are intelligent does not make you right.
You can be right and still not be intelligent.

I would rather be lucky than either, but there you have it.

The mathematical constructs that seem to best model the market do not seem to allow any actionable conclusions.

Ride the hot horse into Hell, sail the fast ship into Harm's way, or go home with your tail between your legs.

Winners persist; unfortunately so do the destroyed.

Having rejected the price-predictability assumption, how best, now, to construct a winning method?

I can see clearly now, the rain has gone....

Why would you without more information to begin-with? Unless I've not bothered to unhide the post where he explains a bit about what she does, then for all we know she just opens willy-nilly with no concept of risk management and just closes stuff that goes into profit. Anyone can do that. If she has some risk management and is still pulling pips then that's something of interest.

This is where someone either decides to employ a basic amount of due diligence, or they put their money-blinders on and follow the shepherd over the cliff.

Maybe you cant comprehend it, read every word again, its true, if you trade patterns, they work better on higher timeframe than on lower, i didnt made up this, its a fact, if you dont believe me check it yourself.

IQ scores...

Is this the new Dick Comparison for FF?

And where exactly are we obtaining this information, IQTest.com?

Turv, you do realize that the IQ test changes and is on a sliding scale right? So, if you are using results from some test 10 years ago, you would have a had a high IQ with this score, 10 years ago. Currently, this means absolutely zero and going off of the leaps of logic and spelling mishaps, I would guess that the IQ test you have taken may very well pre-date the common use of the Internet.

In the event that you did have, said high IQ, there isn't a lick of proof that it is any higher than any other person that you have been conversing with in this thread.

Additionally, because of you claims of still trading the same $500, this actually doesn't make you profitable...$501 would...because, even a genius from 10 years ago, should realize that 501-500=1 <-That is the profit, this is what you could base a claim on. We have no proof of this either.

So...uh....

Still kinda seems like you are pissing in the wind here...
