enlightedtrader, an indicator, trend line or price action etc. doesn't know what time of day it is - just trade your signal. Use all session charts rather than day session only and take the signals before/at/after open as you would any other time of day.

In some sort of a way I admire this guy. He's a consistant failure calling the wrong direction in the markets for years. Sure he gets some correct, it's just the big ones he fails in. He should write a book like Turing Heroic Failure Into Wealth. A charming snake oil salesman who convinced me he...

No problems today in Ireland trading Euro YM & ER2

aaah go on Wayne!

Walther is correct. Every indicator is powerful if you know how to use it. MA's on sub 1-minute timeframes are perhaps more powerful than on daily charts, but don't expect your daily template to work the same for daytrading. Everything will need adjusting and it will take you some considerable...

I covered this a few times in Interesting Charts thread in TA. There are 2 camps - use them both. See attached charts and Interesting Charts for explanation.

Fwiw, mine is fine now. 2 days back it was crappy.Today mine (in Ireland) is great but 2 friends (USA) were getting problems but ok now. One of them spoke to IB two days back and IB admitted they didn't know what the problem was. IB had added some new features and didn't know where the bugs...

A few years back I bought a CD on Level II. Thought it was really poor quality information - well produced waffle. Put me off any other products big time. To be precise, lots of talk and little of worth.

Let's keep an objective if not scientific mind about this and all matters. Common view: TA can't predict and doesn't work. Commissioner of Patents in 1899 - "We should close the Patent Office, because everything that could have been invented, has been invented." Informed medical...

Really sorry to hear this guys. For me I have not noticed any change and the reason I'm posting this is hopefully to encourage you that the market is far from impossible to beat whatever the conditions. Don't loose hope. But don't keep doing what you are doing waiting for the market to resume...

It's the old story - in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king.

ryancohen, there isn't one product the magazines drool over or only the wealthy can afford so it depends on your needs. I love Ensign because I can't programme and it does just about everything I can imagine. It's not good for backtesting but I'm not a fan of backtesting. Great charts are...

a529612, you should look at Interesting Charts thread.

Spoo, why don't you use live support? Emails take 2nd place to live calls for help.

Well TimDog, you are asking pretty big questions that have got books-worth of answers. Have I seen percentage stops? Sure I have and imho they are for investors, not traders. How do you place them? One course I got years back recommended a standard 10% stop. You can get smarter and do like you...

zf that's very true. Question is can you give a workable answer to a specific problem? I exect you can, so I'm prodding you to give something that a trader can put into use.

Using a % stop is for idiots that can't read entry/exit signals. There is nothing more crude, but if a trader doesn't know what they are doing then placing a limit on what losses they incur makes sense - but it will probably just prolong their journey to loosing everything. Proper stops are...

New trading style

Yes but it's limited and not easy to do.

why don't you use a simulator?
