Many thanks for this and your other posts, I had the cart before the horse. Maybe i can get this month turned around to at least break even before the month runs out. p

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

When I said I only trade the NY session I meant that is where I look for an entry but I will let it run for a day or 2 if it is staying profitable. Unfortunately this month I have had 6 losing trades, no winners. Just can't see the forest for the ...

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

I like the mechanics of this strategy but I'm not doing that well with it & perhaps because I only trade the NY session. Do you mostly trade the 1H/D or the 4H/W? What SL would you suggest for both? Thank you for your hard work here & for sticking ...

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

I agree that the 50ma is a better "get out" than the 7ma; a little more room to breathe but might cause some anxiety for some.

Simple 7 Strategy

Thank you so much driftwood, now I can test this strategy for myself this coming week. p.

Easy entry system: coloured candles

problem — I have never had so much trouble loading indicators even though I have Build 419. I can't get the CCI "dots" to show on the chart. Where do I find it and where does it go: experts > indicators? I think I have all of the other basics ...

Easy entry system: coloured candles

Somewhere along the way I have lost a sense of direction: on the Daily, before switching to the Hourly, do we need the candle to change color?, the stochs have to cross?, or just the trend direction provided by the 100sma? I'm not coordinating the 2 ...

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

second thoughts — I am short the $/Y based on the 4H TF. Looking at the D 50, 100, & 200 sma, they have been up since Mar. 22 but the HAs have been red (down) from that time on the D. Maybe 1H & 4H is better? Smaller period MAs? Don't know but ...

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

I look at the"Market" tab at the top of the page quite frequently. When I read that HB is thinking of 1H/D I looked at the following 3 prs (Market has 6H and not 4H - go figure) - 6H 60M E/$ -37 +5 gbp/$ -34 -5 $/Y -20 -1 So the shorter TF reflects ...

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

Stopped out on the gbp/usd - there wasn't a whole lot of upside to this long/buy trade so I had a stop at the nearest swing low. Looks as though news is good for the dollar but I won't try and reenter. Part of the game. p

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

gbp/usd — I am in this long @ 1.6238. Good cross and both MAs (100 & 200) are compliant. $/C doesn't have a cross yet, I will not take this trade.

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

I"m still using the original setup, 4H+stoch cross + trend, and I see a potential short for the $/Cad. I have 14 minutes yet to go for a new candlestick but looking to place a sell stop @ .9859; SL .9894; TP .9810. Any comments are welcome. edit: a ...

WOW — Thanks Hugh,great work and much appreciated by all. I don't quite have a handle on this latest but it's all there for the studying. Will start to absorb all of this as soon as I finish typing. Many thanks again, p.

Thanks Shaishen, I will give it a try.

Buy sell line trading

E/$ — I jumped the gun this morning and paid the price. The morning low was 1.31065 and that candle's close was 1.31145 so within that 5 minutes it closed 8 pips above the low. I got in around the close and price never went back down. My error ...

5min EUR/USD mini trendline breaks

H4 — eur/aud - sell @ 1.2837; nuz/usd - buy @ .8234. !st one is against the trend, 2nd is with.

Buy sell line trading

Combine the two? — I am wondering if the OB & IB signals can be put on one chart. Say the arrows for the OB/engulfing setups and maybe triangles for the IB and on the same chart. The triangle colors should be the same as the arrows, blue & red ...

Buy sell line trading

I just stumbled across this thread and then read the complete pdf by Tony. I have never been good at trading strategies that require discretionary action, ie a certain angle required, judging trends for the same pair but on different TFs, and I just ...

Simple Forex CobraSystem Thoughts Please?

Hugh - I have looked at 10 pairs on the 4H TF and there were no 50% retracements; there were two on the 1H. This was after the FRi. close so action was frozen. I assume there are more opportunities on the lower TFs (which I haven't looked at below ...
