Folks:
Being this my first post here I want to start of by pointing out that: I GET IT, I SEE IT, AND I AM USING IT! Boy talk about the K. I. S. S. principle, this it by far one of the greater examples and to think you can make money with it, too. WOW. TRO I took a look at the TRO_DYNAMIC_FIBS_SR code and I see that a Buy/Sell alert is triggered any time that the price crosses the required levels. Now, I was under the impression that one of the requirements is that the price crossing the goShort and goLong leves needs to be in the same direction, that is, going lower or higher in cojuntion with the bias of H1 and D1.. I would recommend having the code detect when a red candle (blue candle) is crossing the goShort(goLong) level. If it's ok I can add that logic to the code, I already have some lines of code that does that. With this setup, now the alert would correspond to the required trigger and one wouldn't have to wait for a candle to form in the direction it should be. If you folks are interested I can provide info and instructions (with pictures, I like pictures :D) of how to setup a simple (secure) mailserver on your machine which can be triggered by the code to send alerts to your phones or emails. I have been doing this and it beats having to be in front of the machine. If you have a PDA you can then initiate trades from basically anywhere. Sorry for the long message.... I do have more to contribute. Dragon your story intrigues me.. how are you doing? How is your daughter? |
Oh hey, one more thing. Which script has those huge arrow indicators? I downloaded the motherload zip file, is it in there?
Thnx |

That logic is in TRO SR RR ;) By the way... WHAT DO YOU GET? WHAT DO YOU SEE? |

Did
a few rushed trades today as I was a bit eager to give this a go live
again after looking at alot of charts over the weekend. Learnt a few
lessons this way. I also started doing a bit of trading taking the h1
and d1 biases into consideration and using support lines as entries to
go short (provided h1 and d1 agreed with me) the way dragon33 has
talked about. You can get some great pips from those entries! I'll
definitely be experimenting with that more during the week. You just
have to be certain a breakout actually occurs and the market isn't just
testing....
Also took the news times into account for the first time. Works out well for me in Oz, EU/$ in the morning, GBP/JPY in the evening. Anyway, I learnt a few valuable lessons... 1) Don't rest your finger on the mouse button while it's over a buy/sell button!!! I accidentally triggered a sell when I saw some decent movement over a go long bar! 2) If you're trading a new currency pair, be sure to take spread into consideration when you set your stops and TP levels. After trading the EU/$ this morning, I switched to the GBP/JPY this afternoon and I have never live traded this currency. My broker has a pretty steep spread on this pair, so I set my usual stop and got wiped out 2 times in a row before I realised what happened! 3) Stick to your rules no matter what. Just because it looks like the go short/go long lines should be placed somewhere doesn't mean they actually should - always calculate the pivot properly! Likewise, just because the price has crossed before doesn't mean you can buy in late and hope for the best. I'm primarily talking about buying against the h1 d1 on a retraction by the way. So 17 trades, 8 wins, 9 losses. 57 pips up overall, after taking spreads into account etc. Not bad for a learning day! |
Pitty i have worked the nightshift, it seemed i missed a lot of action today.
|
I
still can't get things right. What the heck do you do when a trade goes
bad? I'm watching USD/JPY today. I made 3 good trades for about 10 pips
each. Little bits, pulling out for profit. I had to ride through two
retraces with about twice as much drawdown as profit. I don't like
that, but things are generally going north so I guess it works.
Now I'm stuck in a trade that reversed and I'm 70 pips in the hole. How do you handle that? I could be in this trade all day or better just to break even. |

http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/e...if/1/w1024.png another good trade. I had to wait a while for the H1 bias but patience is paying off!!! |

You are probably OVER TRADING!! You only need ONE good trade a day. LEARN TO WAIT FOR THE BEST SETUPS. Also, EVERYONE PLEASE POST YOUR CHARTS so we can SEE what you are talking about. |

What was the time of the entry/exit? |
http://i38.tinypic.com/2qvqr74.gif
I made a TRO SR RR FREEWAY indicator with BIAS. The color of the column periods is the BIAS of that time period. The HORIZONTAL LINES in the column are the Resistance, go Short, go Long and Support lines for the time period. I also have the MURREY MATH lines on the chart. I like HORIZONTAL LINES. |
On
EURUSD I made 3 profitable trades between 8:00 and 9:00 gmt, after both
1H and 1D candles match direction, and price was moving away from
resistance down to support.

Hey guys help me out please I can't figure out how it works. The market depth screen is not similar as shown before. What am i doing wrong. |
I also followed the guidelines from Daytrading 2.0 for small traders.

Some people do not like the columns so you can turn them off but then you can turn on the HORIZONTAL LINES. |
that
is something i am starting to get the hang of. i tend to look at the
charts now and if price is in no-mans-land in between support and
resistance i tend to leave it and wait instead of just jumping in in a
desperate attempt to get pips. if it starts pushing support or
resistence then i go long in that direction if its with the hourly
bias. ive not really been using the go long or go short lines.

In at 188.90 5 pip trailing stop entered at 189.15 Out at 189.25 Do you see how trading WITH the H1 CANDLE COLOR AT THE HORIZONTAL LINE IS PROFITABLE? Back to waiting. TO BE CONTINUED... |

THAT'S GREAT. You are SEEING WHAT WORKS FOR YOU. THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS. YOUR GRADE A+ |
So
now that it's pretty obvious my trade is not coming back anytime
soon... I'd like to get out of this trade so I can focus on good
trades. The only problem, is that I'm down further than all the
profitable trades I've made on this account total and I feel compelled
to wait it out. It could take all week though, and it still might not
come back. I really get frustrated pulling in a barely a dollar or two
per trade, then going in the hole for $20 in less than a minute and
being locked up not able to trade anymore.

thank you TRO,
I waited for a setup and when it came it was for short trading. The 1H candle was red, and so the 1D candle. I also learned the hard way it's better to trade inside the range of support and resistance and for that I got help from TRO_SR_RR. The guidelines from "Daytrading 2.0 for small traders" are pretty simple and straightforward, mainly: - the price moves in waves, large and small, just need to identify in what part of the wave the price is and when a new wave starts, that follows the direction of the larger wave, enter the trade. - follow the price for like 20 minutes in one day and that's it. In the case of EURUSD, from 8:00 to 11:40 GMT everything lined up, and I took three profitable trades within one hour, 5 pips each and that made me a good 4%. After a good sleep I'll just WAIT for more setups. Cheers. Quote:

So
how are you guys so lucky with this? I'm going to have to get a second
job to support my trading losses! Dudes come in here with <10 posts,
and in a couple of weeks they are doing well. I've been studying this
for a few months now and I'm doing worse than ever. Maybe everyone
starts to fail after awhile. I did way better when I first started than
I am now. I could shoot myself.

So part of seeing "IT" is seeing the "Waves"?
