Great trade guys! Divergence, I went 2b long at 13, after 8.30 and got stopped out. Was that a correct trade?

hey guys, i just need a quick answer to a question and am new and i cant make a forum or anything. Can I add the 8 and 34 period exponential moving averages, based on the hourly chart but plotted on the 5-minute chart in the MT4 platform or is that a feature only available in Daily Fx's Trade station? Yes, how. please show. No, thank you, didnt mean to intrude on the thread.

I took mine at 8:37, that's when it traded up point 2 of a 2b. Guess in the overall scheme, it does not really matter as the signals do not come often.

Divergence, do you concur that this is a HAT or the LS is not properly developed to qualify as one?

High probability signals that are not frequent help to rein in over trading.

Crude oil futures sierra charts. Futures safer than fx also no spread and 4.00 comm pretty cheap to do business
I switched from spot forex to futures years ago - Trade S&P emini, Euro, and bonds. I am not sure why so many keep beating their head(s) against brick walls by continuing to trade in bucket shops. Good for you for starting a viable futures trading thread here at FF and keeping it going.

Hello Divergence and others,​
could not find the broker you are using, you said, the plattform is sierra charts? and which datafeed you are using, is there a demo version available, so I could set up the charts and getting used to it.

I like the way of your trading and want to move away from Forex

Many thanks and regards,
Forex Lion
