DislikedGood morning friends. I have lurked from time to time to catchup with interesting thoughts from a superb bunch of members on this thread. I have kept myself busy reading and doing a bit of coding. I thought I had left my IT profession well behind but the urge to understand MQL and see how some of the indicators work, got me started. So, for the past week, I have been testing my skills. Now, I am certain, I am reinventing the wheel or that there is a nice shiny wheel already out there but I thought why not make my own wheel.

DislikedGood morning friends. I have lurked from time to time to catchup with interesting thoughts from a superb bunch of members on this thread.

So, for the past week, I have been testing my skills. Now, I am certain, I am reinventing the wheel or that there is a nice shiny wheel already out there but I thought why not make my own wheel.

DislikedPosting this as a reminder to myself as much as anything else, as I just missed out on a very nice Dax breakout because I hesitated for a couple of seconds, that was all it took, and the price was away beyond my risk limit. When the signal is there, take it, immediately. I know this as well as anyone, but I am still prone to it from time to time. ps - thought I'd post the chart. My signal came on the opening of the candle with the orange arrow beneath it - I had a very short window in which to act before the price broke powerfully out, but once...Ignored
