  1. Always read that Astro trading is for longer term trading, but recent advances in software that can tell us to the second and minute when planetary movements/ingresses/regressions are happening can this be used to scalp the market?


  2. Looking for a horizontal line indicator for mt4 that draws lines of the last 10/20 candles and adjusts as price moves it has to be customizable not set.

    Makes life easier rather than using your crosshair tool or drawing lines every 10-20 candles.

  3. Looking for an indicator or script that can close out partial positions and also has the option to close the full position and customize size all from the trading panel without popping up another window entering values as normal takes too long. Its all about speed when scalping and seconds costs money.


  4. Anyone who has a solid trading strategy found by increasing trading frequency helps or hinders there progression?

    Willing to take more hits to get to the final goal as the numbers i believe work out in the end rather than setting an x trades per day limit.

    Yes like the majority state trade less and less and more less and get nowhere.


  5. Moving Averages work all the time anyone who says they dont they dont know what a chart is or what one looks like.

     

    Backtest it last few months and you will see its best to trade after a multiple cross when there is angle and seperation and price always bursts in that direction.

     

    the 20, 50 and 200 MA are used by most traders.


  6. Hi,

     

    When these types of bars come up on any timeframe are they stronger the more previous support or resistance points they break?

     

    E.G

     

    This CAD/JPY on the monthly has broken 6 previous months high lows likely to close end of month at this level does this make this bull very strong as its 6 months its broken resistance?

     

    Also, it has a GAP underneath it does that act as extra support/supply? Is price action likley to revist the gap?

     

    Thanks.

  7. you have a few weeks of data.

     

    Take the MAs off, or whatever they are, change the timeframe to weekly, and post the same charts with a min of 150 data points, showing only the weekly bars. Then do the same with daily and show about a year of daily data of whatever fits on your chart so that they days are still distinguishable. If it is not clear at that point, then post the charts and I will help you.

     

     

    Okay I have attached can you tell the strength of the trend without MA's?

  8. Hi,

     

    Just looking for some input from the pros about these pairs which have MA's added to them, which they would feel would be the strongest going up/down? Is the steeper the MA's the healthier and stronger the trend going up n doon?

     

    Thanks.

  10. I check the overall trend (ichimoku clouds), which way the speculators are betting (CoT report), trendlines, support/resistance lines, candlestick formations

     

     

    Cool, do you find the COT report useful do you use an indicator I am learning how to read it do you require to calculate it manually I found this website am I right and saying I look for the green line to go with the large non commercial speculators rather than hedgers or small specs?

    Do you select the currency pair as it states or are we looking at euro future? As fx doesnt have a central exchange?
