    trading with MACD crossovers

    I use MACD as just ONE indicator. The MACD-line can at times be very misleading. In addition use an EMA, that corresponds with the MACDline plus CCI and Stoch as forewarners. For longer term forex swing trading (2 to 5++ days) I use 180 min charts with smoothly moving pairs and these...

    Ratecut Canada

    What's the effect on the USDCAD going to be when BoC cuts the rate today? A cut of 25 basis points is expected. The CD future has fallen already. Happy trading, Felix

    What's the best to trade?

    I use Tradestation's charts and also trade some futures with them. And I use Interactivebrokers to trade futures and forex. At IB's website you also find the margin requirements: http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/marginRequirements/margin.php?ib_entity=llc Should...

    What's the best to trade?

    Easy because they are no-brainers to follow and trade. The ED for instance moves very smoothly with little drawdowns compared to some currency futures like the BP or lately the AD. With the lately very jumpy US$ (DX), other major currencies have become even more jumpy like the BP, AD and to...

    What's the best to trade?

    US treasuries are easy and profitable, as morreo said. I love the Eurodollar (ED or GE). Trading it with 60 min charts for the past 4 months brought about 8 to 10 times the margin ($ 1'031/750) with about one (swing-)trade every 3 to 5 days. There is probably no easier way to make good...

    Vote for a technical indicator, for daytrading

    None of these, only combinations and a good eye Trade with 2 WMA - weighted moving averages or perhaps EMA Directional warning with Stoch and CCI and MACD Example: Forex pairs with 180 min. WMA 10 and WMA 30, Stoch 21,21,3 and CCI 30,18 and MACD 18,39,13 Reading these properly (lots...

    Tradestation data gaps

    Recently I get lots of data gaps with Tradestation 60 min. for instance - AUDUSD 1/31 and 2/1 - CADJPY 1/29 (only 1 instead of 24), 1/31 and 2/1 - CHFJPY same as above - ECH08 yesterday and today - especially annoying with this wild market. Question: What can I do do rectify and...

    Technical indicators - confused

    If you have learned to read and trade on a setup like this, your trades are bound to be profitable making about 500 pips a month with looking at the charts once a day. Easy money every month with about 1 trade per week. Felix

    Price Action v Indicators

    In my backtests CCI and Stoch produce best results. I tested EURUSD for the period June 6 to November 16 with 60 min charts using Tradestation: indicator #trades $ profit curve CCI 223 22'340 steady up Stoch 245 21'856 steady up...

    Stocks VS Forex

    You're right. I only use TS for charting and some backtesting. Occasionaly I trade currency futures with them.

    Stocks VS Forex

    Re fast moves of 2-3% see my previous reply. SAXO is ok, although in Elitetrader they got bad comments. Forget their charts, just as bad as IB - I use Tradestation for years.

    Stocks VS Forex

    Most erratic moves of 2 - 3 % come back, at least to some degree to give you a chance to enter or exit at a favorable spot. Besides 60 min charts I also use 360 min to see the general direction. And if CCI and Stoch have not reacted before or after a gap, price is most certainly turning back.

    Stocks VS Forex

    Andretrader, Same here. Got out of trading stocks because of same reasons you stated. I now trade currency futures and forex pairs. I paper-traded for months to find a strategy that suits me (and to sharpen my eye for good setups) and produces a nice profit like when I was trading stocks...

    Indicators: reliable tools or n00ber's only holy trash

    Use indicators as forewarners or even predictors and act on price and EMA. The attached screen clearly shows entry and exit points and leaves enough time (often 4 - 6 hours) to trade. Times shown are GMT. Happy trading, Felix

    How do you use moving averages ..

    I rely on EMA together with Stoch and CCI for entry and exit trading Index futures with 60 min. charts. I use a EMA10, CCI15 and Stoch 7,14,3. If CCI and Stoch are signaling a change in trend I wait for price to cross EMA10 and then enter after havin consulted a 5 min chart. On the side I...
