Still thinking about this question... If today where the first day of trading, and trading had never existed before today, would one still have certain ideas about the market? By that I mean, would you know that the market moves Up and Down? Would ...

Forex Trading Philosophy

As to the OP of the thread, I collect MANY stats like the ones you posted in your post. I have tried DOZENS of various iterations, aggregations etc. over various segments of data, and timings within a day. I have done daily data, minute data, and ...

Indicator/Dashboard of Range%

Apologies, I should not said you are looking for a 'turn-key' trading system. What I am meaning is, that nobody who understands WHEN and WHERE they should be trading is going to openly point out that information on the internet. I.e. if someone has ...

Higher Edge within a Single Candlestick

If you are in search of a "turn-key" trading system on the internet, might I suggest you abandon this course of action... it is NEVER going to happen. No savvy individual who knows what they need to know in order to ACTUALLY extract profits from the ...

Higher Edge within a Single Candlestick

I like your post. Particularly your first and third sentence.

You do not know how to trade

I have thought about this question for months off and on. For the longest time, it seems like it would be impossible to find a way to trade w/o some sort of a reference point that would exist from the past, as w/o it seems like you wouldn't know ...

Forex Trading Philosophy

Something that confuses me? So if you take ANY point of reference, there is no doubt at some point in the future price will eventually trade AWAY from it. This alone can be useful it seems. But as to the 50% point, this seems like it 'could' be ...

About Candlesticks: Why they were created? What do they reveal?

Just some thoughts... I have been thinking for a while about the MTF combination, to such I composed a little tool to plot the Opening prices for various Time Increments(I hate calling them TFs as I don't think they really are), onto a live chart to ...

About Candlesticks: Why they were created? What do they reveal?

Excellent thread here with a really good question you posed. I've always thought TFs that are measured in packaged time are a bit of an issue. I've always thought real TFs can be viewed in terms of directional movement. I.e., using some minimum span ...

Illusion of Time(frames)

Howdy, Just for clarity, this isn't about any type of filtering to the actual trade selection one would take, or targeting the 2 profitable dimensions..... but simply keeping max losses small relative to large wins?

Forex Trading Philosophy

I saw that as well, but I don't think we're just looking for divergences at extremes by themselves, as they work about as often as they fail.

The 3-plan

What gap were you looking for it to fill down below? I'm wondering if the main idea is to see a missing activity, like what's occurring right now up top, wait for the stoch to trade through 0, and go long there with an objective back to the top ...

The 3-plan

Yeah, I know what you mean. Was thinking maybe something like ADR might give that 'rolling' value that would take into account volatility.

Grid systems

Just a thought, but have you noticed whether or not the system is more likely to fail once price reaches a certain extension beyond the open? I.e, if for example the Average Daily Range is say 80 pips...... Would it be obvious to see if there is a ...

Grid systems

Thanks, got it working!

Grid systems

No errors. It all the grids I've tried show up in the left hand pane, under "Custom Indicators." But when I try to drag-n-drop onto a chart, literally nothing happens like with all the other custom indies I've installed in MT4. If I right click, and ...

Grid systems

Apologies.... I mis-stated my question. I mean to say, "when I try to add any of the grids into the MT4 Folder, it just doesn't do anything when I load it up onto a chart." NT == NinjaTrader. I wanted to see some of the metrics from the scripts you ...

Grid systems

Along with THIS post, and figuring out what might be useful ways to organize data, I'll be looking at variations of this data.

Money flows: Trading the strongest / weakest major currency cross

I have some similar charts, but seems like the problem is being able to identify the breakout before it occurs or as it has recently begun. By the time you look up, the divergence is usually pretty extended already. Seems like other tools are ...

Money flows: Trading the strongest / weakest major currency cross

Just as something to mention, one of the iterations I came up along the last few weeks messing around with this idea was something similar to what you mentioned. At least with respect to picking an anchoring point to measure from. Here you see an ...
