I've said it before and after reading the most recent posts I feel it's necessary to state it again. This method will not work if your not going to accept the losses. No filter in the world is going to change this reality. The more your try to avoid ...

The DIBS Method... No Free Lunch continues

Hey James, Real good questions.. I try my best to get as much sleep as possible before London opens. But as you are finding out it's hard. Basically trading these time frames is the same as taking a 3rd shift job with major overtime thrown in. I've ...

The DIBS Method... No Free Lunch continues

No problem in asking and you have not offended me. I will take time over the weekend and try to organize my trading rules in a way that you could go and back test for yourself. The point I was trying to make before is the fact that most people will ...
