backtester chart question

It's a personal thing...if you're comfortable exposing yourself to that kind of risk, then go for it. Personally, my SL depends on the situation, but i always aim for reward>risk. I'd rather have 1 winner make up for several losers than have 1 loser ...

Is this a good R:R Ratio?

I've never done this, but couldn't you do something like: extern int alertnum //number you want to be alert at the cross int stochtotal = sm1 + sm2 + ss1 +ss2 if (stochtotal = 0 | alertnum) { ..... again, this might only work inside my head, but it ...

Tricky Stochastic

it honestly wouldn't surprise me...i can't document it, but i can remember one or two spikes where my stops got hit out of the blue. Outside of those events, imo, oanda is a pretty reputable broker. I'm not going to hold anything against them unless ...

Oanda Stop Hunting?

thanks for the help bud.

you have a "start up" folder somewhere...stick a mt4 shortcut in it and it should work...otherwise scheduled tasks is pretty straight forward. looks like the start up folder is under C:\documents and settings\user\start menu/start up... best of luck.

Getting MT4 to Open Automaticly once computer is turned on?

i got on earlier today...

Did Oanda Die???

it's just another trap to make money...although i'm sure it could be used as a hedging method or profit booster...

Forex Binaries

Most of what you've said is nothing more than basic trading psychology. On topic of a "Holy Grail": It's not about finding the Holy Grail. It's about the journey getting there. In each of our own "quests" to find the Holy Grail, we grow wiser and we ...

Holy Grail? (Why most people think that this is a system?)

Millionaire Run

I have the same problem you do so i've developed a system to capture the larger movements. This usually doesn't give me too many problems, but i have gotten caught putting stops too tight and getting stopped out before price moves in my direction. ...

Work fulltime during main trading hours ?

Here's a classic example of why you can't rely on backtesting... Opps!

ADX Daily System

I made a new system...it's good for quick pips. I've personally made over $1mil...let me describe it to you... It's called: Sure Things Fall Up Take a MA of every period from 1-200. It'll create a rainbow that clearly defines the trend. Next, apply ...

Pipstert's Trading journal

You're not the only one, i've been lost for a day or two. I'm just waiting for the week to end so that i have the weekend to get refocused and have more time to analyze some charts.

what is going on today about todays trading,someone help

I'll be honest, i'm not use to a OLHC bar chart so i don't know exactly what i'm looking at on your chart. But here's my 2 cents. As price hovers around support or resistance, it'll typically close and head away from the S&R...so the next open = the ...

Does daily open provide support and resistance for trades later on?

looks like someone read the thread about what 10 pips a day gets you... to the OP, maybe if you researched things yourself...e.g. read the "trading system" forum, experiment for yourself, etc. Asking questions like this will only lead to questions ...

Any system that generate only 10 pips/day?

I have to agree with: But also, if you're asking who's made 1mil, i think your expectations are largely outta whack. IMO, most newcomers seem to want the quick buck. Once you're comfortable working for the money and once you understand it won't come ...

Who's made a million dollars?

I think we'll break resistance during the asian session tonight...the news for tomorrow will bring up recession concerns as well as oil and inflation concerns. As long as the fed doesn't raise rates, which i don't see happening, I'm waiting for the ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

I can't seem to find a good reason to sell at 107.5...unless he's trading a MA crossover on the 5min TF. I would hope his SL has already hit... I wish i would have been watching USDJPY. Earlier today it made a nice double bounce off a fib level. It ...

I believe that there are certain rules that are followed regardless of pair...S&R and price action seem to be universal.
