Are we allowed to vote for ourselves, or do we have to abstain? : Actually I will vote for somebody else - although the rest of the choices are all good. I'm curious to find out why this poll came about since (until Merlin just said so) we ...

2003 to present — I've marked points where the momentum turns drops off using red vertical lines and there have been 8 decent turns on the chart. image You should be able to see them on the MACD Gradient indicator as the point where it drops ...

Momentum Study — Now I've coloured in the indicators I can do a nice little study and try to figure some stuff out with a time series example. I've picked the loony and will highlight one year (2003) which marked the slide in this pair and see ...

I've had a quick look at the link and I think it refers to v2 and not 3 (quite what the differences are I'm not sure). Anway from the text file given below I've checked against the code and it looks like the optional stuff is junk, The weekly ...

Bob Does your chart mean your neutral on the ECB but more hawkish on the Fed right now (since its above the centre line)? Also do you follow GBP, CHF or JPY fundies? I'm also based in the UK and would love to get your opinion on stuff like ...

I also played with the spiggy stuff and some of seemed to be redundant. Like plotting the MA's on the weekly - why not use MT indicators instead? Also the backtesting although useful for future reference showed a loss when I ran it on a number of ...

OK here goes: 5.1) The 1st indicator "tun_lines" puts a red line on my chart. What is it? These serve to highlight the "exclusion zones" for price if the 50 pip rule is invoked. When the rules is not valid the lines should disappear. You should get ...

I don't think Merlin minds at all - I've been posting on his journal for ages! Yes most forums are populated with more technicans than fundies (I'm much more of a techie than a fundie as well I'm afraid) but you can't complete ly ignore them. Hey ...

Hey bob welcome to the fundies club! Nice to see another heavyweight here - I was beginning to think Merlin & Nader had the place all to themselves! I don't spend as much time as you guys chewing the fundies but I do like to follow what ...

Man if only I had your monthly pip scores then I would be really happy! I quite agree that breaking your system in the middle of a trade, although tempting at the time and sometimes successful, is sheer madness in the long run. If things don't ...

I hafta agree with Dial you sound like a smart guy and a fast learner. Your posts and humour are some of the best on the forum. I dunno why you do yourself down with the "bonehead" comments though? Still maybe we all need to take a leaf out of your ...

given that the euribor is hovering around 2.5 then they're saying trichet is going for at least 25bp on thursday. i hope my reading is correct though...:

Always good to review all trades, good, bad and plain ugly! Why not keep this thread going as a general discussion and carry on using yours for trading? If you want ask me or Dial to change the name (if you can't do it). Keep the faith ...

Same story here too. However I did book 10 pips but I came in too late to move the other half to BE so I took the slide along with the rest. The big move came ater housing report at 1500 gmt which normally isnt big news. But sometimes even a ...

swissy follow up — from heavy's earlier position...this time i'm just gonna stick to the charts without any specific trades. i will try and follow this throughout the day at the 4h intervals: 0800, 1200 and 1600 whenever i can. i think i can ...

If you pick up the indicators from post #113 the sma line & exclusion lines should flip between timeframes. That was one of my changes for later on - hard code for 4h! Nice attempt at daily but then why not rework the fast & slow ma's for this ...

If you google for +woodies +cci +mq4 you can see a number of links. There is a cci indicator in mq4, however you might want to follow this link for a further discussion. The link is to a forum which you may have to join. Alternatively I've picked up ...
