Until last year the OANDA spread for BITCOIN was fixed at $30 so it was easy to trade and make a profit. Now the spread is variable but always above $90 and that makes it a lot harder to make a profit. This is the reason why I no longer trade it.

You were right on the reversal. It lead to a good trade even trading Renko 2 pips bricks.

I really don't like small ATR such as EURUSD but sometimes it's not that bad.

Lot size doesn't mean much these days. My two brokers reduced the lot size of the DJ30 from 100 units per lot to 1 unit per lot to encourage more traders to trade CFDs. However, there is a big difference on the minimal and maximal number of unit ...

This would have been a good trade if I didn't spend 2 1/2 hours having lunch and drinking with friends at my favorite pup. I'm happy for you if you took this trade.

I broke my own rule by being greedy. At one time I was up $3,000 and closed the trades even.

Look at this crap the first 19 candles happened within the first minute of trading today. After that a flat market for more than 2 hours. Sometimes trading conditions are good and sometimes they are bad. More reasons to trade assets other than ...

It all depends on the asset traded. For example oil (Brent and WTI) have a decent market all day with a high ATR but not natural gas (Low ATR this week but last month more than 30 each day) with spread of 0.8-0.9 pips. However, with each pip worth ...

I never trade during the first week of the year because of low liquidity leading to higher spreads but sometimes it would have been good as shown on this chart. Looks like GBP is high on drug.

Putting it all together ***************** Attached into the zip file are the indicators, the EA and the templates with normal Renko candles and with smcC4scalper candles. The first picture shows that the signal arrow of the HalfTrend TT is probably ...

smC4Scalper candles ***************** On the previous post I showed how the Heiken Ashi Smoothed Alert helps dealing with false signals especially on a flat market. However, this was while using normal Renko candles. Below is the picture of the same ...

Heiken Ashi Smoothed Alert vs false signals *********************************** The picture below shows how the Heiken Ashi Smoothed Alert can deal with false signal. As you can see the first arrow indicates a downtrend signal. Normally, on the ...

Wicks vs no wicks ************** The first chart shows Renko with wicks and the second chart without. Please note that the Half Trend TT indicator, like all Half Trend indicators, doesn't exactly work the same way without wicks as compared to with ...

Missing signals ************ False signals are easy to detect because you have an arrow signal but the FxBay MACD on the next brick doesn't correspond because the zero line of the FxBay MACD has not been crossed. Missing signals are not easy to ...

Valid and invalid signals ******************* In order to have a valid signal the FxBay MACD and the Half Trend TT arrow must coincide. This means that the FxBay MACD must be close to the zero line since the trade must be made only after the Renko ...

Source Chart ********** The source chart chosen by traders is important no matter what the Renko chart generator is. Both charts in this example were produced by the STG Renko Chart indicator. At first glance you might say that they are similar ...

STG Renko indicators ***************** Many EAs and indicators can be used to create Renko charts. You might say that it's a matter of choice. The reasons I use STG indicators are: 1. When using the STG Renko Chart indicator to create a new Renko ...

Some threads in FF are dedicated to single asset trading such as "EURUSD only" or "WTI Crude Oil Trading" while most threads deal with multiple assets. I like to trade NG and WTI plus high ATR currency pairs (mostly GPG pairs). This is why I use 3 ...

Nice setup and I hope it will make your trading more efficient. As for me I trade with 3 brokers; a few currency pairs with one broker, NG with another broker and WTI with my last broker but I can't see myself looking at many screens at the same ...
