You Can Lead A Horse To Water... — Yezbick, I feel for ya, man! It looks like your audience wants to do ANYTHING but learn and test your method. But I'm alright with that. We've got to keep that bottom 95% freshly replenished with new ...

I Find That Surprising — Darkstar - I'm quite surprised. Not that you're a successful trader - we both agree on that account. So while you might be a H.S. dropout - you ain't no dummy! Some of the most eloquent and insightful posts that I've ...

Graduates vs non-grads in trading

Afraid that I completely disagree... First of all, it looks like you're boosting fundamental analysis at the expense of technical analysis. To each his own, but I trade from the charts in conjunction with real-time price action. I do just fine - and ...

Graduates vs non-grads in trading

Points To Ponder — I'm NOT vouching for Yezbick's method. But would like to clarify a couple of points that have been raised. 1. I believe Yezbick inquired about the swap (or interest), all brokers play it differently, but with mine - I earn ...

Plutonite - Great post. Great truth. It really isn't any harder than to follow what you've shown to be in the top 5% of Forex traders. Ta-daa!

GBPJPY

Aaaaah - Aaaaaah! The "M" word. None of my hedging experiments have devolved into Martingale. But I do need to get one more order on the right side of any particular move for things to work out. So in a very relaxed and controlled sense, ...

Bad.Hair.Spray - That's it above. Set it all up at the same time. Use the "tabs" on the Moving Average box.

I learned to trade without having hedging available - which was probably a good thing. It forces you to be fundamentally sound. BUT - the more I consider hedging and toy around with it, the more I'm inclined to believe that it is a fundamental ...

I agree... I suspect that there could be some sort of "China factor" at work here behind the scenes as Japan is probably coming to grips with the fact that they have a new uber-competitor to contend with. More short-term, I believe these ...

Japan... are they really this weak?

Forexpert310 - Welcome back. And nice start.

(pouria method II on the test)

[quote=tradeigel;261322]Don't just trust other people's backtesting results...quote] Agreed. Backtesting is one of the most over-hyped and least understood tools in all of Forex. It cracks me up when that's one of the first things that people ask ...

simplest strategy for GBP/ JPY

I haven't been in with this method yet this week. I prefer an opportunity for all three of the SMA's to get crossed. If we're patient, we'll get a shot at some major pips some day soon. It only takes a couple of days of the right price action to ...

I have no great expectations - other than be greatly amused. If successful, this will be one of the great feats in FF history - running an EA backwards and producing profit. This is going to be great. Let the testing begin, SunDevil!

The Pouria EA Development Thread

The rationale was that this combination minimized the whipsaw effect. It was mentioned at least once, but perhaps not prominently.

Eagle Method MA Crossover System

That's my general understanding... Somewhere within FF, I've seen a broker's definition of scalping. And it's not that tough to get around. It's largely a function of time, meaning trades of a very short duration - like 5 minutes or less. And then ...

Scalpers Go Here

WOW! — Nicholas - That's ridiculous! We've got a new month to work with. Here's to 600 or better... Since some us may be trying some minor variations, hopefully you'll check in and give us an update on how you're doing from time to ...

simplest strategy for GBP/ JPY

Hi Chartist: So the first of (4) trades would be like a "test pilot" getting in early based on the price action and then the SMA's crossings kick in? If that's what you're saying and illustrating with the charts - I'll check it out this weekend. But ...

I didn't trade today with it being Friday on the last day of the month and some FA's coming out. I've learned to enjoy those "extra" days off that Forex can offer you.

Hi There NewstraderFX: Regarding pulling the trigger as the price passes through the MA's... that's not a bad idea. It kinda depends on the trade. On some it's going to get you in there a good 30 pips quicker. On others it looks to be a wash. And on ...

The Power Of Backtesting — Yep, the method sucks. Don't do it. It's a killer! While you were looking backward - I was looking forward. And I like what I see. With a better exit strategy - that equity curve will easily be reversed.
