    A Comprehensive Trend-Following Strategy based Expert Advisor

    The indicators you use seem to be similar to the ones I use for semi autotrading. I use the MAadaptive RSI with 2 values, the Supertrend and SubDem. But I could not find the indicators you use or at least not the versions described by you. Could you please let me have the indicators you use...

    The truth is trading is incredibly boring..

    Trading a couple of hours every day and quitting with a $ 5k profit is enough for seasoned traders. Neither boring nor exciting!

    changing my mind on day trading

    I too traded many markets and timeframes with often disappointing results even with spending la lot of time trading. Since about 1 year I daytrade about a couple of hours from 4 to 6 pm (living in Switzerland). I trade 4 indices, namely the US30, N200, UK and German DAX. And I avoid the open...

    Uneventful markets today

    In retro you are right - usually I wait for nice and longer waves to jump into - should have concentrated on smaller moves.

    Uneventful markets today

    Why are the stock markets so listless and calm today and yesterday? No nice waves to trade, mostly jumpy and hard to trade.

    New EA M5 scalping

    The backtests are not exciting at all. Major Forex pairs trade once or twice a day and some showed profit. Gold was negative, testing many days. Most Indices were profitable but exiting at the end of a period most of the profits were eaten up when the program closed all the open positions...

    trading overnight futures?

    I find that the times you mentioned are easier to trade than the market openings. But a couple of hours after opening, things are getting smoother and easier to trade. The last 30 minutes are also quite profitable to trade most of the days. I also trade the UK/FTSE and DAX/German 30 opening and...

    Physics Vs Prediction in Trading

    Right you are. Once you learn how to catch the change in trend and when to leave the trend, when it is flattening out, you are on the right track.

    " BEST " method to use for Stop Placement ?

    #3, but not a stoploss with a figure, which in a gap situation might be easily reached with the price bouncing back and loosing all or some of the accumulated the profits. Instead of a certain figure I use an Exit EA (in Metatrader) based on MA of an adaptive RSI and an ATR. This produces a...

    Best Country for Trading (Tax efficiency)

    For a private trader, add about 11% for pension scheme etc., called AHV. Even as a pensioner, one has to pay this with no increase in the pension amount. Better to trade as a company in Zug, where the actual top tax percentage is about 17% net incl. all the different taxes (income, wealth...

    Setting stop losses

    In volatile markets like crude or some currencies, SL often get activated and shortly thereafter the price turns around. Instead of a specific StopLoss I use an exit program/ExpertAdvisor which exits the trade, when a specific indicator shows a turn in the trend.

    Should we use the same indicators for everything?

    I use the same indicators on all markets but make sure that most of them align (with pretested value settings) to make a trading decision (entry or exit). Looking at the 4 hr chart and working down to 15 min. with an MA of an adaptive (ATRbased) RSI, and Stochastic plus Donchian channel with a...
