hey, ive seen the deal4free site a couple of days ago and are interessted in opinions on that offer. do you have experience in that thing ? it do sound not too bad, the concept in putting every cost in the spread is acceptable imo, but i did only get the surface by now. is there perhaps a...

yes, exactly, if you think it over, you find, that, in the end, you will never really get something out of this market at last...its so sad... by the way, i stopped the scalping projekt. i was anticipating, that it would not work the way i would like to have it. no 80% hit rate, as you...

the market will hardly chop for 3 hrs on the 1min timeframe, even on 5min... beside this you can use a pattern made public by linda raschke. it is called "3 pushes down/up" or "3 little indian", means, when you have had 3 up- or downlegs, the trendmode is done and 1) a deeper corrective move...

theres a indicator called "ADX". livechart did not have it. it is used by linda raschke and so. imo it can pretty mark the END of a consolidation period by dropping under a critical level. raschke is calling this "low low adx" situation. her site is down in the moment, but is worth a trip...

i also stripped my charts a couple of month ago...felt good, but, did not work for me, i dont know why...i hated indicators...but, ok, i add some bollinger bands to it. not so bad. i add a MACD with the settings on 3/10/15 (seen by linda raschke)...and, yes, i found out at last for me...

hey huios, i think, theres nothing wrong with playing around, doing this + that...the learning process is not that straight + have no linear progress anyway...going more in circles...i think it is critical to recall or recieve the "right" information in the "right" moment in that process...

profitseeker, hhmm. what would you say, how much of your trades are +2 or +3 ticks and then reverse ? with that RR of 1:2, your hitrate cant be too high. my hopes are with a fixed target of lets say 2 or 3 ticks via a limit order. my only goal is to hit that target for at least 75% of the...

you can trade in sydney, starting time 01:50 CET or wait for Hongkong, trading the morning session, starting time 03:45 CET...you can sleep during your job... :) http://www.interactivebrokers.com/index.html?html/retailAccount/products.html~top.body

i would never say that it cant be done, i just wanted to point in the direction of those "magical forces" (i really have no better word for this..."subconscious" perhaps) that grap you, when you cross that fine line... another piont. offering or seeking advice or information is a bit critical...

gone move right in. heres a nice oldfashioned tale from my childhood: “Most investors and traders approach markets in the same way as they would approach a lake containing a fabled treasure. They feel that all they had to do is set up appropriate pumping equipment and the treasure is...

great. i dont want to bother you, but i do not have the ability to do this kind of testing. could you test your method on ES/NQ with a stop on 1.0/1.5 and target on .75/1.0 ? how would that change you test-results....:confused: thanks :) trading

maybe you dont need to trade anyway ? :) trading is like being inside a mirror cabinet....how could YOU think, that you will find your way trough it... :)

i like those bands also. i use the settings 13,2, they show a nice pattern on reversals. i add a MACD with 3,10,15 to it. the MACD marks the momentum high/low (and as the saying goes, price high/low follow momentum high/low) and divergences. the 15 ema is useful in seeing the "trend"; as long as...

hey profitseeker, you do quite have a good sense of humor (not alone in this post, i remember "the easiest system under the sun" thread) trader fail for 2 reason, they are: 1. undercapitalized and/or 2. overmotivated so, you better have a ton of $ and take it easy, best way to...

i guess, thats more a longterm indicator ? by the way, did you get that bid when you bought yesterday ?

you would laugh, but i did that for the last 6 month. is not working for me, i dont know why. i can not stand the hunt for this 1:5 or 1:10 RR-trades...im more kind of a "collector" i think...

what i have in mind is something like: 5 trades per day, 4 winner, 1 looser. a specific method, that selects high probability trades. just points, where the probability is 80%, that price will make 2-3 ticks in your direction. thats all...i dont know, if this is working in real. i know...

where do you have that from ?

@profitseeker mr van tharp is calling this scale out thing "reverse position sizing" which means, its nonsense beside psychological reasons...BUT, if you are able to trade with multiple contract (lets say >10 contracts) + are trying to think it out, what could be the best position sizing...

ok, lets say my target is 1 piont NQ i get $20, when i win, $5 are going to IB. i need to achieve a 80% hit rate, otherwise i will drop it. my avg loser is 1.5, my avg winner 1.0. on 100 trades, this looks like: winner 80p x $20 = $1600 looser 20p x $30 = $600 comm = $500 net...
