It's probably uncommon amongst the retail forex spot traders, but using Nadex options to hedge is a great alternative to a stop loss for the shorter term trader. However, it does require timing and some knowledge/skill to execute. For example using ...

Hedging vs Stop Loss

No news Friday. Should be small a range. Currently have a Nadex Binary Iron Butterfly in play. Risk is 30. Reward is 70. Probability of winning is 70%. R:R just over 2:1. I'll have more analysis recap later.

Looks like that 1x1 line held pretty well. B/E on the short. -40 loss on the first hedge. -25 loss on the binary short. Check out how price went straight to the top of the yellow box? That's my daily range box. 8 times out of 10 price is snug in it. ...

A little more detail and some insight into how I see and use the Gann Square.... I highlighted the trapezoid price played in as it gravitated towards the angle lines. The 1 x 1 is where price and time balance and is always a strong target and ends ...

Cycle Trading

From earlier tonight. Sold a Nadex US500 spread right near the ceiling on negative osci divergence and price stalling on the angle line and getting ready to follow the next angle line. Initial target is the red 1x1 (highlighted with yellow). Overall ...

That's sexy.

Oh yeah. I"ve got an Iron Butterfly on the AUD/USD right now. Price smack dab in the middle where it belongs.

Don't worry about it. Be active in it and I think it should show up in the front page? Maybe not. Either way, let's talk Nadex! I mostly do binaries, but will employ spreads to do things like Iron Condors. The one thing with nadex is that while your ...

Nice use of divergence. Still trading Nadex?

COGS's Mental Forex Journey!!

You can somewhat simulate a one-touch. Put in an order to get you out at a certain option price level. For example price on the EUR/USD is at 1.4960 and you bet price will be higher than 1.500. You could get the EUR/USD > 1.500 which is OTM and $20. ...

Nadex binaries

haha. Yeah, I can probably start posting in here again. I've been away from trading for a while. Been back at it for the last month or so. Focused on Nadex options. Mostly OTM binaries. Made pretty good on the S&P the last few days. MT4 has changed ...

Or use an ellipse and set the.. shit, I forgot the name... but there's a property you can set to 1 to get a circle.

Circular Trendlines

Over the years I've been involved in a few private groups exploring esoteric and non-traditional approaches to the markets. The groups usually started from like minds that met in a thread similar to this one. All went private due to the downward ...

I find if fascinating that most of what we're talking about was talked about in antiquity. (Yet why is that we tend to only focus on fractions of the framework? ) The Trivium: the elementary three. [1] General Grammar, [2] Formal Logic, [3] ...

You sure do speak in absolutes. How much of Gann's concepts have you tried? And I don't mean on the surface, but delved into? It's not like Gann spelled things out step by step. Do you know how to use the Square of 9 chart? How about the angles? Or ...

For sure. Gather data, develop a historical result set and go from there. I wouldn't consider my quest a quest of prediction. I view it as plotting what I believe to be the most probable wave set from a series of wave sets. Forecasting vs ...

I'm familiar with that gumball jar experiment. The Code episode 2 or something. I think that model has been applied to trading. Crowd sentiment. Sparkprofit.com and a few others I don't recall off the top of my head do that sort of thing. I wonder ...

But is it possible to find a possible/probable wave set that collapsed to form the particle? The common theme is that the quantum field is the infinite possibilities and depending on the situation will collapse to a particle which we can them ...

Concur about Gann. Also agree that he died broke or didn't make money from trading, who cares. Didn't that Elder guy or whomever everybody worships also die broke? Someone's financial state has no bearing on the principles or theories. I've been ...
