Exactly what I thought you'd say. Nana, just joking. Peace !

Ask Nana Trader. He's ET's in-house expert on Middle East affairs.

Steve, thanks for your valuable contributions on ET. You're right. It doesn't really help a learner to have everything spelt out. The concepts that are put forward need to be understood well. Then its for the learner to re-create a process that works for oneself. Chris (AMT4SWA) was...

Bighog, I think you've missed the post where NPP has said that he runs a mechanized system for his trend-following trades. Besides, he's been making money with the 'counter-trend' system for the past 3 years now. I don't use either of his systems but must admit that he's one of...

Yes, you're right. But my trade entry set-up is the same for trends & counter-trends. Adding the PSAR as a filter in the last couple of weeks has kept me out of low probability trades. Let's if this lasts.

The idea is to be on the correct side of the trend. One could take trade entry signals based on whichever indicator (oscillators/pivots/etc) one chooses , but only if the PSAR confirms the direction of trade. The win/loss ratio seems to improve when I use PSAR as a trend filter...

Inspiring stuff that !

Try the following and see what you get @DATEVALUE("11/02/2005")-@DATEVALUE("02/05/2005")

A demo a/c with Oanda would give you live intra-day data in different time-frames p.s. Not sure if you can download that data in ascii format. Suggest you check with Oanda if interested.

What numbers ? do you mean data ?? if so, then there are so many service providers out there that offer market data / charts / platforms for a fee. And why can't you trade with your own money, if you're so confident about your back-tested strategies ? p.s. and if you don't have the...

how about working your ass off in some job (any job) for a couple of years, saving up money for your trading capital and then trading your strategies with that money ? or would that be too mundane ??

Hermit, I don't think you should be too bothered about your trading, as long you're making regular money out of it. Trading is a business like any other. If you're making money but not feeling fully focussed as of now, then what you probably need is a vacation. Get recharged...

My problem would be getting off the markets. Trading for me is a passion.
