    I Thought you would like the bit about HFT trading. as for the site, it is interesting as many may use these simple indictaors to trade or look at price bars to trade. It really shows how hard it is to come out of a slump and explains the zero sum game. I doubt any one can be on top after...

    The Luck Factor

    You may rely on good systems. but good systems will never explain how some one wins millions in a lottery. No matter what the system you will not be able to win the power ball based on stats (You may if it builds up and your lucky enough to be able to take advantage of it ) Statistics say...

    Become an observer to your patterns.

    I have just started a thread where I keep track of my bad patterns. If you made a mistake it is to easy to forget about it. It is only through keeping a journal of trades that one can determine at years end where adjusting needs to be and what the P/L is. But what trades are put in the...

    MT4 Automated exit based on trend line break

    I am wondering if anything like this exists. It is an exit that is based on a drawing instead of price alone. when price crosses a drawn trend line the system would automatically exit. The main issue is that usually a typical stop lose is held on their server after entered. Can this some...

    Day Trading the Fed Announcement

    Expect possible changes to any correlations between the yen and gold looking a head. If you are holding even in the eyes of weakness and have large stops (high risk). Then it may be good idea to lower risk either through new trading habits or a less loose and more managed exit. Depending on...

    Answer Failed cause I switch from one to the other without adjusting my strategy CASE 3 ______ switching from day to swing trading can be done, but there should be clear rules and results kept separate. If exit is not based on price alone but rather a break of a trend line or volume...

    Why did you fail at trading ?

    Answer: Unable to decide if I should use charts with day and night data. CASE 2 _______ Keeping an eye on volume seems to be helpful. Looking and day and night price moves together seems not be helpful. (considering most my trades have been at night) Volume changes are easy to see...
