I'm going to wait until tomorrow morning (UK time) before I make a final decision on which pairs to trade next week but at the moment I'm looking at a bit of a confusing picture with both eurgbp and gbpchf short. As these are fairly strongly ...

Ah, ok. When the 100 sma is so far away from your entry I would just use a 2 x ATR stop. 50 or so pips should be ok for this pair. By now you want to be at break even and then just wait for the 100 sma to catch up with your entry and start trailing.

If you've got 150 pips profit then the ea should have moved to break even already? The second entry is a good one so I'd hold it until the 100 sma is broken.

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

I'm back. For some reason the demo account has frozen. I asked for an ongoing demo account but it seems it has expired. Anyway, the first shot here is how the cadchf trade looked at the end of last week. The second is what it is looking like now. ...

I'm going to be out of the country for a few days so won't be managing the open trade at all, just going to leave it. I'm starting with the new account on Thursday anyway. See you when I get back.

Hey, still going well, the old site will be up and running again in a few weeks and you're welcome over there again.

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

An interesting example is this last month on my demo account. I was about 12% up at the peak and now it's about 2.8% but to be honest I haven't been actively managing it so there may well have been other opportunities that I didn't take that would ...

So you're closing trades for emotional reasons and reopening for an extra spread? ;-) When you think about it you could just use the 100 sma to tell you when to get out and hold on to some awesome trades. Of course it doesn't always work but it ...

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

Hi, glad you like the thread. I'm away for a few weeks and so not actively trading, just letting a few trades run. I don't like the sound of the 50 pip stop / 20 pip gain but if it works for you then go for it. It makes sense to me to let your ...

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

Hello, you are right that the price is above the 100 sma on the cadchf weekly chart but the general direction is down/sideways and the there was a definite turn to the downside so it's something I would consider. Same for gbpchf, the pressure is ...

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

Good pairs for this week are usdcad, gbpchf, cadchf and oil. Wait for a clear signal.

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

I am looking for a broker who offers a wider range of instruments. Can anyone suggest a broker who offers forex, commodities, stocks, bonds, etc all on one platform. It doesn't necessarily have to be mt4 but it must be programmable for trade ...

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

Hi, glad you are finding my threads useful. What you are doing with the higher timeframe is waiting for the conditions to be right for there to be a move. The aim is to try and catch those long runs of heiken ashi candles where they stay one colour ...

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

Thanks Seany but don't forget that's not banked trades yet, anything could happen next week although I think now with that audusd trade really starting to lock in some profit that the worst that can happen is that I break even. Of course it would be ...

Quoting nubcake mpc is clearly just being a cunt to create more posts with advertising links to his shitty website Subtle

Out of interest here is the usdcad chart again. A very nice entry with a 20 pips stop!

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

Ticking over nicely but got to switch to the live account soon. I'm away for a few weeks now but I should be able to let these trades run while I'm away so that we can see what would have happened if I had held them. Of course the dynamic would be ...

Usdcad just moved to break even. That was a nice entry, you won't get one like that every day. Now let's see if it can stay afloat while the 100 sma does its thing.

Eurgbp just stopped out for a loss.

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

Just took a cheeky entry on usdcad. News came out 0.1% better for Cad GDP, that's probably not going to change the direction of the trend but it did push the price down to just above 1.03 which has already acted as strong support. This allowed me to ...
