Fibs are one of those things like Trendlines. In hindsight you can make them look awesome. But I never know where to begin or end them in order to get the correct retracements. And honestly, the rational part of me wants to say it's voodoo BS... but since they appear to be mentioned in...

Ok I'm taking a break from my quest to design a holy grail indicator and I'm going to use ONLY PRICE ACTION. As of now, the following are my thoughts on price action (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) Price Action has no definition. For the longest time I got pissed off every time I...

Maybe I didn't get enough sleep last night but how would this work then if you have a trend following system and a mean reversion system working together. Say the trend is going up following a HH and HL, so you'd go long with the trend following system. You're long 1 contract. Suddenly...

are you guys combining multiple systems in one account or in two different accounts? if in one account, how are you dealing with being long and short at the same time for different systems?

by anti-martingale do you mean doubling the position size as it goes in your favor? ie. 1 contract, + x points, add 2 more, + x points, add 4 more, etc.? That will wipe out your giant gain with a small move against you.

Word. I get the direction right a LOT on the YM but I can't stomach 30 points of noise before it actually goes. Fuck that. It's infuriating. Tall bars. I thought I was onto something by switching to constant range bars to eliminate the giant tall bars... but not really (altho it makes the...

in for someone to make that HH/HL study in SierraChart :D

thank you, sir!

i have a blackjack 1 with a cell browser and not a full browser like iphone or newer smartphones. finance.yahoo.com crashes my browser when i try to view individual stocks stockcharts.com doesnt let me load individual quotes bigcharts.com didnt fully load (is it even still up?) is...

does ahg use heiken ashi? i never thought they were a good idea cuz you're not seeing actual price data. better to use a fast, smooth MA over real candles for seeing trend. by the time a HA trend reverses, not only is it usually one bar too late, but price is farther away from you than you...

you have a profitable strategy using stochastics? what is you exit criteria? x number of points? a MA changing slope? some sort of crossover?

that is weird. compare their charts. they're basically the same. maybe your answer is "don't trade the YM" :D Can you post the equity curves? What entry system does your system use? specific price points like pivots or dynamic points like "enter first bar after MA slope changes"?

it will give you consistent days of profit, months and years even, until the one day when you get a trend that goes 1 tick higher than what you can afford to keep doubling down, and then you blow your account.

you will do fantastic UNTIL you hit a choppy period where it's chopping above/below your MA. See my attached pic:

this thread needs a chart for illustration

You hold your positions for a greater number of ticks against you than your number of target profit ticks? In other words, if your target profit was 5 ticks, then I'm talking about holding a position for 6 or more ticks against you. If your target profit is 20 ticks, then holding a...
