Well, the 9th was the charmer... cought the little runner I needed, bagged +46 pips, plus the previous 8 attempts that gave baby pips. I would be happy even if I would only had BE today. Tomorrow is another day. Good luck to all.

Tell me about it... made 8 trades today, all marginally positive (1 to 2 pips each), because I keep picking an entry, then moving SL to BE as fast as I can (after 6 to 10 pips in positive), because of this up&down price action... I keep waiting, ...

I can't believe what I've ran into, openning this thread... Like someone already said, his technique is in a 355 pages' thread... not created by him, but where's he has always been the best mentor and the most important contributor (along with Dr.G ...

Hi fourxtrader, He might have left this thread, but he's still around in others... and while this hapens, I'm pretty sure he will eventually come back posting in this one as well. He is trully a great trader, and I've been learning a lot from him ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Not knowing that last broker you speak about, I would logically assume, since the profit seems to be one tenth of the profit made with the other brokers, that simply their lots are one tenth smaller than the "regular" ones... Meaning that when you ...

I'm not sure what you mean by "attaching" the server file... as far as I know, the server is chosen in the act of opening an account, and can't be changed after that - if I'm wrong, it's because I haven't figured out how to do it. When I opened this ...

Lookback is how many bars back it is averaging to compare to the current bar... That's why it's more "colorfull" with a low number (the variation is more extreme), and less with a high number. It shouldn't affect your decision, if you have grasped ...

I was riding this fall, needing to cover some losses made yesterday... but I was anxious, and wanting to close prematurely; It was your insistence to see fresh lows that helped me to hang in there. Short closed at 1.3717, +100 pips bagged (50 more ...

Nice perfect setup, Gez. That's why I like IBFX demo... very high volumes are very clear I can see by the beginning of your chart that it seems you had the same volume problem (though yours seems restored a bit sooner than mine)... did it ...

ibfx volume - update — Just when I was preparing to download a demo from FXCM, I noticed that volumes on IBFX 4 digit demo seem to have returned to usual higher levels, since 7h35 am GMT I have to wait to have at least a complete ...

Trade Using VSA (Volume Spread Analysis)

Yes, I understand... I do that, depending on the context of the trade, for example: - If I'm trading against the major trend (if I believe it's a minor retracement and won't go far), the orders will have the same (or very close) and smaller TP; - If ...

I totally agree, too. That is in fact my weaker point... I'm terrible at deciding to close a trade when I see it going the other way... and I also protect my trade by moving SL to breakeven, sometimes too soon... My particular solutions to that ...

Just to keep track of the situation: - Like I said before, spikes are a lot smaller now (but they were excessively high before, anyway); - The differences between sessions are a lot smaller... the effect "montains & valleys" is almost none. ...

EU, GU & EJ in my case... reasons are a combination of broker's spread and lack of space (& eyes) for more. TF... I look at M15 for direction, but take the final decision on M5 & M3 charts. But I only aim for 10 to 30 pips, with a 15 to 20 SL... ...

Thank you... IBFX 4 digit was also very close to esignal (except to the fact that very high volume spikes were actually ultra high); I guess that's what I'll have to do... wait for some esignal chart to show up here, and then compare this new ...

Nevermind. Anyway, I'm trying to see what these changes will mean, and if it can produce signals as it could before... Only took 1 trade until now (because I'm very suspicious and prudent), it was a short EJ and it did well (closed in profit); ...
