FXS, thanks for sharing. Looks interesting. What's making those rectangles on my chart? The indicator isn't on the list for the chart.

The Half-Baked "System" V.5

Sounds like your April went a lot like my March. I did a lot of the same things, just a few weeks ahead of you. When I saw you post the solution which included "higher leverage" I winced. My $300 account is at $128 now. For April I broke even, which ...

I respect your opinion, so it's a nice complement for you to say I'm a smart trader. Are there an infinite number of ways to lose? Because I do keep finding new ones!

A Self-Help Crash Course for Traders

No. Raw stochastic is %K and there is NO MA in the calculation. You then take an MA of %K to smooth it. There is NO MA OF PRICE. Wrong again. See attached chart with 50 SMA and 50 period momentum. There are lots of places where the MA slope ...

However you want to picture them, or whatever scale you use is fine. The question was, what's in between? The only point was that matter is mostly not there.

Indicators and MA's — You're absolutely right. Most people do not understand indicators. This is most true as pertains to those that say they're all based on MA's. I hate to be a @##^& troll, but that's one thing that irks me, and the ones who ...
