    Seriously though when looking at your chart with entries and exits you enter and exit at the same bar nearly every time. Try sticking with your idea if you feel strongly about it and pick a stop you can afford to lose and trade again. And see what materializes.

    98% of Traders Fail? Says Who...?

    Probably, but after my last post I got to thinking how many millions of people consider themselves traders in some capacity or another. Everybody I know has lost money in securities.

    macd indictor lags, is there software that doesnt

    Volume is after the fact (price) are you speaking of DOM Volume, if so what indicator is used with this I would not think any trading related to DOM would be a good idea due to the number of orders cancelled and others placed just for show.
