Great GBP/USD Strategy for Swing Trades

Stochs are heading that way, but not there yet. Until they bottom and turn up, they're not saying "long" to me. (Been studying SpudFyre all weekend). What TF are you looking at to see an uptrend?

Great GBP/USD Strategy for Swing Trades

I'm short. Not crazy about going against the trend, now that I look at it. But, on 3/2 it set up like this and was good for 300 pips in 3 days, so, I'll ride it out.

Thanks a million — Spud, Thanks for taking the time to put this together so clearly. I've learned a lot, and un-learned some things - I paid good money to be taught wrong! I've made a slight mod to the bar end time indicator so it will clean ...

parabolic — Your EA can call the indicator. The command is iSAR. Attached is an EA I wrote to attach a parabolic trailing stop to any active order using the ticket number. I just updated the code and haven't tested it, but it should be OK and ...

Indicator update — Howdy VyNNeR and all. Good to see this thread still hopping. I've not been following, but will take the cable trade on Monday. I've revamped the indicator, but now I see someone's programmed an EA. Good going. This indicator ...

I don't know if this will clarify or confuse. A script runs through once. Maybe you have a script that will close all open orders. You execute it, it does the task and stops. An indicator program runs through the code (program) each tick, and ...

That's what I thought too, but I try never to assume anything. Remember, ASS U ME makes an ASS out of U and ME..... (oh brother...) Do you know I've read at least three diffrerent definitions of what PIP means? All came from sources that should know ...

Then if things get too one-sided, they cover their risk by moving the order to the bank, or buy options. Igrok mentioned working with a broker to program something like this. It wouldn't be hard to see which direction the 90% was going, and cover ...

This would be true if the broker offset every trade with a bank. 90 - 95% of all traders blow out their account within 90 days, or whatever that oft-repeated statistic is. So, on accounts under, say, $5000 or so, why wouldn't a broker just take the ...

It wouldn't be hard to guage timing, even something as simple as putting it on a 1-minute chart and checking the previous bar for up/down magnitude compared against an average range. Although that wouldn't be much different than taking the slope of ...
