{quote} nice mate! whats your settings? For me is EMA 200 and simple-ma5 shift 2 Greetz Michael
Was wondering if the attribute of 5ma price matters (i.e. typical, exponential, smoothed)?

{quote} Hey mate.. I'm using spread betting on this, and scalping fx in general. Try cap spreads.. their charts have Heiken Ashi.. and reasonable spreads on majors.
Thanks for this, I found I actually have an old Cap Spreads live account, so have given it a try, but unless three's a setting I've missed, the EMA can't be shifted?

Cheers

To be honest I use mt4 and trade with caps.. just you said your SB didn't have HA.. which caps has.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! One of the best posts I have read. After watching some BBC produced episodes on youtube about Traders, I have come to the conclusion. 80% of retail technical traders, have not a clue of how to make money. I actually got frustrated watching them. I have been doing the same thing for the past 3 months and have only had 2 losing days. 5 pips is ridiculously easy. Like you said, if you cant make 5. Get out of the business. My goal is 20 per day. Even 1 pip is a good day to me. As long as commish is covered. Thanks...
I am checking out those HA candles as well.....looks promising

Hi members,

anyone in the last trade? down move of e/u... fu**, me missed it, had a bath... expensive bath

I have marked my risk-tolerance (Sl) on my trades, for all the stoploss-seekers, it might help for finding a solution.

Tick-label above candle = short / Tick-label below candle = long / red trendline = stoploss area

Referring to the chart above, imagine how much pip you will gain throughout the day? You will not believe your own eyes.

OK.
Regarding stop-loss (exiting).

I suggest all to manually control exiting. It's a shorter timeframe anyways.
Just observe and close if you believe the ratio of position size and equity can already harm each other.

or

you can go classic by putting SL 15 pips below last HA candle and 10 pips below last Jap candle.


Best starting time for trading..

Start locating trade set-ups one hour before opening of London (Europe lets say) and trade up until the FIX (4pm London time).

TK5,

With the kind of strike rate this generates I can see how this would work in the long run, but I anticipate a few concerned posts about a perceived negative R:R !

Now lets examine internal organs of HA.

Same set-up in two candles

HA
http://www.imagesup.net/?di=1514150336701


Japs
as you can see..even after long (first) candle breaking ema down it still moves down (later) and generates 12 pips!!! assuming you entered from second HA candle.
And in this example movement isn't big, candles not long and it's NZDUSD (pair with low daily pip ranges!!)...

Read it again, look at the charts of what others are doing and continue viewing new post while practicing on demo. This will take time...... Weeks, months, years...

Remember, you are trading price using a moving average as a guide. You will not be wasting your time watching price.
