Oh yeah, we've experienced that before, huh? Ignore the bearish signs just because we're long and like the bullish signs better? That's fine, but they teach them as facts of science. Bought 3, the next summer had something over 90. Hard to count ...

Yup, I was going to say the same thing but my post was getting long. A friend loaned me a course that cost a couple thousand bucks, the trainer went on for 20 minutes, and even took the trouble to find a mountain range that fit the fib levels, had ...

I get it exactly. Expectancy is calculated after the fact. Past performance is no guarantee, etc. You can compare expectancy of 2 systems, but only for the past.

I know what you mean, sm31. I seem to have caught a case of big-move-itis again. Or it's my old chronic case flaring up, as a result of catching all those 400 - 1000 pip moves on vHands. For my trading style, I have to take my profits and forget all ...

Well, there are big banks, and there are big traders, and there are traders for big banks. The big banks, sometimes they have a job to do - money to buy, and they just have to get it done, and probably try not to run the price on themselves too ...

The thing that always put me off about fibs are all the things the believers say to convince you, instead of just telling you how to use it. I've had a couple courses where the instructor goes through all the stuff about the bees, and the rabbits, ...

Living breathing organism? Absolutely. The market is the collective actions of all the participants. Sort of like the borg, except more greedy. Don't resist being assimilated, that's really the key. Can't fight the flow. Now, the fibs? Your ...

That would help, woudn't it? But, that's even more elusive than the grail.

I didn't read it that way. JohnW said he "liked to see an up bias and uptrend". He didn't mean to say that he only trades long; all he was saying is that he likes to see what he calls "bias" match the visual trend.

EA — Here is a very slick EA for trendline breakouts. I didn't write it, I did write some clear instructions, however. It's not hard to put a stop order a couple pips above resistance or below support, set the stop and t/p, and go play or go ...

USD/JPY — USD/JPY Trend and bias are down. 113.12 looks pretty good. Has been hit quite a few times, and has been breached a few times recently. There was a good trade on the 17th; the breach today (12/18) was good for 10, but not 20.

I would think so, too; I don't know the answer. When you open history center (F2) you can view the file, line by line. That might be one way to investigate this. Maybe Bo can shed some light on it, if he can pull hisself away from that possum stew.

Wow, has this thread ever exploded! I had given it up. JohnW, THANK YOU for posting the method, this is simple, straightforward, well-explained, and I like the system. One thing nobody has mentioned -- the chart shows bid price. A resistance line ...

Well, that's the age-old question, that ranks right up there with "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" and "Why do women rub their eyes in the morning?" (that second one has been solved, btw). I think it is not available. Just try the 1 hour or ...

When price is going up, you're concerned with resistance. Going down, support is important. Makes sense. Is that what you're asking?

Thanks, Skunny for the next step, I'll take a look. On the other thing PLEASE not a system! 1. I wanted to learn the guts of it, your real stuff, that I could apply to my style/strategy. 2. You'll be forever answering questions on details because ...

Check to see that the "VisualTestingTools" file is in the "include" folder. My best guess.

OK. I'm ready to answer that question, however, while I'm at it, I should really cover the issue fully. I know at this point we're just studying market behavior, but I'm also trying to stay very objective on anything we look at and consider making a ...
