Well, I noticed something I hadn't seen before. In the number of trades, I see a lot of trades were counted as neutral anyway. So, in reality, if you were scaling out to improve your results, I don't think the real figure is 25% winners. The backtester in Dealbook 360 does not seem ideal...

Yeah, that's a good one for the stock market. But, I was thinking Forex. I can't tell when we'll have another rally but the last leg down seems like the same length of the last one plus the volume on the double leveraged SSO has gone higher. Imagine a sharp 1 month rally in this situation. whoa.

I'd like to thank those who suggested fading the signals, looking at support/resistence and using a trailing stop. I might investigate this as a brain exercise. The only thing I see that might be a problem is figuring out how to determine entry price lol.

If any of you trade using these indicators, how do you determine your directional bias?

Well, there's no volume in forex lol. I agree context might be a good way to filter out losers. Like, for a moving average crossover system, it might be to eliminate the following signals (after a loss) if the price continues to trade in a flat trading range. BTW, the backtesting did show...

I've done a lot of work. If someone helpful would say something like: "fib ratios" or ANYTHING helpful, I'd be willing to consider ideas. But, that kind of reply, I don't need.

What is better?

Uh, is it normal to only see 25% winners max on moving average crossovers? This is the first time I tried backtesting. And I did it on DealBook 360 (from GFT Forex). I find that a little low.

Oops, I meant to say the weird correlations in the double or triple leveraged ETFs. Anyway, yeah, you could have a rally at any point in time now. But, I have another sort of odd question. What if URE went down to like $0.50 and it would pay a dividend. I mean, the REITs have stopped...

Can anyone please help me to figure out how to remove the white border around the candlesticks in Dealbook 360? It's driving me crazy. I'd like all red or green candlesticks.

I find it kind of sad when someone ends up on the street. However, it says in the video he's been on the streets for 5 years yet you say he went long oil at $145. The price of oil only peaked that high months ago.

Hey, I clicked on the Ninjatrader website and found that Mirus Futures has accounts through Hotspot FX. I think they sold their retail department so I don't know why Mirus can offer accounts through them. In any case, I read several times some people think they are among the better brokers.

I don't know if links are allowed but I saw a pretty scary video on yahoo (looked at the headlines on URE and clicked on "Returns at These ETFs Could Shock You"). Anyway, it seems to imply these double leverage ETFs could go down to zero. Could that happen? If the market goes up, could URE...

I think they need an office in North America or something like that. I can't remember exactly.

If I remember correctly, FXCM is one of those brokers that does not allow residents from Quebec, Canada. This is rather weird as there are others like DBFX, IBFX, MB Trading and etc will not open accounts for residents of Quebec. This is kind of a cheap deal for me.

I was kind of considering PFGFXlite.com as a broker.

Well, thanks for all the replys but I was also thinking along the lines of..."when will everyone including his dog be hot and horny to buy"? What constitutes a value that you cannot overlook anymore?

Enough said. lol

I'd rather not reveal any parameters but I looked at different times frames for stock charts. I found the patterns are not as reliable for 1 minute charts. I hate to say this but there might be a chance the only thing that's wrong with your trading is the time frame or parameters you're...

I'm wondering if anyone who follows the fundamentals can comment on how cheap we will be if we hit 500. The last decline we had lasted two years and this recession is worst than the last one. So, I'm wondering how cheap 500 would be.
