You can still delete the whole post. But, you got our full attention! Thanks for posting it, that is so encouraging for us to just keep remembering that IT CAN BE DONE AND IS BEING DONE! Sigh. Another year or two, I'll be there!

There's a madness to my method. You've heard of Bill Williams' "profitunity" method? Mine's a derivative of that -- I call it the "profanity" method.

By "linear" fib, you mean just a plain old everyday fib?

if w is the win %, then 1-w is the lose % so (w / 1-w) is the win/loss ratio, same as (#wins / #losses). then your formula says your win/loss ratio must be greater than your R:R. So, your formula, put simply, says: "if you have 3 wins for 1 loss, ...

The Main Rule of FOREX

No offense, scalpmaster, but people who want an EA but aren't programmers always think this. So you talk to them in detail about what they say they want, then program it, then they can't understand what it's doing, even though it is doing exactly ...

Anyone wants to program this profitable algorithm into an EA?

Thanks for the great call!

turn 1 to 100'S : Straight Foward Trades

There's quite a bit of discussion on this, as well as difference of opinion about how brokers operate. There are some things we know, such as, the broker doesn't run to the interbank every time I trade my fraction of a mini-lot. In fact, any trade ...

Who Wins Who Loses

He has. He's teaching people, for free, in person, on his own time. So now he knows that not all gurus/mentors are frauds.

It took him 4 years to come up with it, so maybe he'll wait 4 years to post it, lol. Seems to me he's got a lot on his plate. He's not on FF at all times of the day and night like us "regulars" are.

I call it a random event -- it was outside the probabilities of the trade, and outside of normal movement. (Or so it would seem - skunny might teach us differently.) If it goes your way, it was good luck. There could have just as easily been a big ...

This is a recurring piece of advice I've been too lazy to take. Time to get on with it. I'm not finding the Vhands EA, is it a trading simulator? Using F12 on MT4 isn't too bad a way to go about it, but changing timeframes is really cumbersome. I ...

Yes, more often than not, it reverses just past my stop, so the stop wasn't placed properly. And, that frequent reverse is what prompted me to add the advice to my post. Lesson learned the hard way. One main thing I'm working on right now is to ...

It depends on your trading style / strategy / system, and the pair. As a rule, I don't trade a trendline or S/R breakout unless a candle closes across the line. Most of the time I wait for another closed candle, with a full body across the line ...

The Holy Grail - Found

Hi Skunny, thanks for starting this thread. I'll take the first challenge. It's impossible to trade 100%. There will always be random events that throw the market against you. Unlike news, there's no advance warning. Just someone with billions that ...

Me too, JohnW. Looking forward to that word doc, hoping you decide to do it.

Wouldn't that be predicting direction? Or are you just saying recognizing it earlier, because that's a problem for me, as for most traders, I'm sure.

The Holy Grail - Found

Interesting video. I like how he uses a chart from 1990 to present. That would be like using a 1 minute chart to predict where the dollar will be a year from now. His arctic sea ice chart is just for this year.... and just for a certain location. ...

Trading the Supermodel Indicator

I'm fundamentally challenged, however, the way I see it, the rally priced in 25. If we get 25 there won't be much reaction either way. But if we get 50, there will be another, much bigger rally. Just the opinion of a greedy fool (who significantly ...

Perfect Head & Shoulder In GBPJPY_crash_again??

I wasn't really clear, either, I shouldn't have said "major" trend. I'll trade down to 1H or even 30m trendlines if it looks good. However, I will still trade it in one direction, only with the strength of price movement. I usually get burnt trading ...

It was probably all planned. Hillary and the dems are the ones that pushed the programs to get those mortgage loans to all those people who didn't otherwise qualify. Greenspan lowered rates to ridiculous levels. (Now he writes a book to explain why ...
