Disliked{quote} The 15 and 20 minute freezes tonight were the longest I've seen yet. I'm assuming it happens fairly frequently but, I'm not in front of my charts all the time. However, I do hear the "disconnect sound" from MT4 quite often.Ignored

Didn't trade much recently. But today is really a good day. LO don't give many good signals recently, a lot of them finish as BE trades. But then there are a lot of good moves on continuation, which are good to take on M5 or M15 with EMA10. So today i took 3 trades. EA in BE, GA on LO +50, and GA on continuation +60. I think i am done for today. {image} {image} {image}

SK,
I believe doing speedtest.net tests does not help with micro cuts (I think that's the correct word, when you loose connection for a brief period of time)
Networking is not really my thing, but perhaps you could try the following thing:
1. Open windows cmd. Windows key + r will bring execute window. Type cmd. It will open the black console
2. Type: "ping -t 8.8.8.8" without quotes. Just to clarify for you or anyone else, this command does like "calls" to the ip 8.8.8.8 (which is a DNS of Google).
3. You should see something like:
Sorry that it is in spanish, but it would say something like "answer from 8.8.8.8 ....time, TTL, etc."
4. If the time in ms or the TTL is too high, it means that at that moment, your connection suffered a speed drawdown or even a micro micro cut
5. If you see something like "timeout for this petition" means that at the moment of that petition, you don't have connection.
6. To stop it the ping command, just press cntrl + c, and you will see like a report:
My report says:
Packets: Sent = 4, received = 4, lost = 0. 0% lost
That is a good sign of good connection, no lost packets and small ms times.
I hope this helps you to identify your issue with the connection. If you need more help, I'll try to help.

likica, may I ask what pairs do you watch? I did a little research, and I found some of the pairs you monitor, and how you pick your pairs to the session, but not a whole list. Thank you very much in advance!
My favorite pairs are those have G in it as they have big ADR.
FO/LO have good volume to trade but need to wait like half an hour to let the crowd cooling before jumping in that s one of the reason I like M30 instead of H1.
I sometimes took other pairs when spotted TDI with good angle but found out they had small moves so I kinda ignored them. Also I did not do well taking EU GU AU compared to GA EA GJ GN EJ...
If you watch GA EA and know them well, you should be well paid

Personally I think trading is quite simple and people tend to complicate it. I have been trading for just 3 years now with an investment of $5000 which I have grown to $3,000,000. There are only two conditions in the forex market. Trends and ranging. You just have to get the perfect indicator for both trends and ranges. I use moving averages to identify trends and bollinger bands to trade in a ranging market. Of course good money management and a good risk reward ratio are very important. I always make sure my risk reward in both conditions is never...
Totally logical post
........ as long as I haven t seen a tradeexplorer or a myfxbook verification , as long I prefer to stick to the working strategy.
Bollingers aren t bad.., don t get me wrong ....... but first post , no verification .. and just thrown big numbers in the round of us sounds like a scammer.

{quote} Thank you very much for your answer. Besides these pairs, you also watch USOil, right? You still up with the gold? I wanted to "clean" some pairs, because I always end up jumping from one to another (I trade 4H mostly now) and I don't focus enough. Thanks again, and keep up the green
Remember to trade away from DOL, 200MA, Weekly S/R.
The hardest part is monitoring trades, so after entering a trade, I normally do other things instead of staring at candles

Now that I have your pairs open I can see patterns staring at me. Hope to do well these next few weeks and recover some of my losses. Positive anything is better than negative thinking.- Elbert Hubbard

{quote} ah, I take gold when H4 confirmed (not everyday), I trade oil almost everyday taking from M5 m15 with H1/M30 confirmed. Remember to trade away from DOL, 200MA, Weekly S/R.

I agree with you, monitoring is hard! I also try to do other things to avoid pulling my hair out
Do you always seek for confirmation on H1 or H4 when trading 30M / 15M? I reviewed some of your charts, and the angleator indi have all arrows in the direction of your trade, but I don't find this very often, and perhaps for grab some quick pips, let's say 50 it is not needed. My understanding is that you check PA and TDI cross above or below 50, or TDI cross above /below MBL, and if that looks good, you take the trade.
Sorry for all these questions, just trying to learn more and ideas to adapt the system a little more for me.
Thank you very much for your time.

{quote} Thanks again likica! I'm thinking about trading 1H / 30M, because I don't always find A+ setups on 4H, and those days would be nice to grab some pips in the lower TFs. I agree with you, monitoring is hard! I also try to do other things to avoid pulling my hair out
. If you only watch a few pairs, you should have time to do your work correctly before entering. Of course there r some good one ending up a loss...that s when your management skill is needed Appreciation is the key to wealth and happiness
