This is an example of an NZDCHF D1 I just back-tested. The first entry would have been 16 days ago, on the bottom of the third red candle, after MACD lines crossed. I calculated the profit, using as an exit, yesterday high, but this trade could ...

That big drop you saw yesterday on USDCAD M15, was a good old Stop Run created by the big boys. Fundamentals and news might push the market up or down for days and weeks. Big Boys will run the show, hitting as many retailers ...

Now I don´t want to complicate things too much, but here are some facts: -Take any winner you had, any time frame, entering with only 1 position. -Go to the next lower TF, and calculate how much more could you have made, if you added only 3 ...

I use the indicators from this thread for trigger and trail and filter with my own EW studies. Look what happened after I took profit, guess there was some news. As I said, M15 is tricky.

Here´s a USDCAD M15 I just closed. Maybe I could have kept it till the next red bar, but 15 minutes turn on you fast, I have my good old EW studies with momentum so I had a TP set on it. Took another EURUSD winner last Friday. Thanks ALI again.

Not for the shaking hands, but last Friday, if you look at : 5M EURGBP USDCAD There were plenty of winners What makes it difficult, is to read the chart properly and click the trigger, fast enough. And yes spread, I have 2 brokers, one is OANDA, and ...

By no means do I want to put higher TF down. People like Alihelmy, produce 15 to 20 % monthly. And probably with less work How can you criticize that? It depends a lot on trading style, time schedules, etc. My broker has some brutal weekend spread ...
