I think is volume. Maybe I discovered some things about volume that nobody knows about volume. Other indicator could be the time. The time sometimes works with volume. I think is advanced.

There is no official volume in spot fx. Time is not an indicator. Think you need to do some more thinking.

Well l was investigating something about time with moving average, for example look at moving average how they are like moving to the price with the time, the moving average moves not matter if the price is changing or not is changing just because of time. I will research more things about the time.

If the market is like choppy and continues going like choppy the moving average will move to the price and the moving average will help you for predict the future price. You should calculate what moving-average and how many moving-average will touch the choppy market with the low volume of the choppy market.

Is something about my research...... Very important, l think!.

This has been invented long time ago, it is called MADC. It measures divergence of two moving averages. When divergence is very low, by definition averages are also close to price, which is choppy, as you describe.

Good observation, but no, you did not invent anything new

For the same purpose you can you Bollinger, Ketlner or any other indicator based on price. Whatever fits you...

Hey Hanover,

Why embarrassed? I thought those were your go to measures.

I learned quite a bit about those topics from your posts.
Remember, Red. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things...

Perhaps I was being a bit harsh on myself, but during the last few years I've learned a lot about the effect of things like economics, sentiment, heavyweight orderflow, and imbalances, and also become more aware of the limitations of TA/'price action'. My trading processes have become more nuanced and less mechanical.

Best indicators are close, high, and low.
Open, previous high, previous low.
Trade the cross.
Works every time frame, daily, weekly, monthly and intraday.

Most traders think they need something more.

I didn't make the distinction but I use the previous high and the previous low as well. I use the close to determine the trend.

What is "trade the cross" mean?

Interesting..... when I look at my answer from two years ago, I would probably give exactly the same answer now. So maybe I perfected my system way back then, or maybe I unknowingly took a knock to the head somewhere and stopped absorbing new information. If I were a betting man, I'd probably pick the latter.

Thanks. Sounds very logical. Can you advice where or how to better understand these factors?
