I think that's a bit over the top Kat, I think you're going to give yourself analysis paralysis. Isolate, and remove the less popular markets, which are usually a bit more noisy and harder to trade. I watch all the majors, and their crosses. Gold Silver Crude, and some of the popular Indecies...

I think one big factor here is where price is correcting from. If the market is correction for normal looking trend swing highs and lows, then you will most likely see trend continuation. But, if the market is correcting from extreme prices, where there was a large gap in the mean - generally we...

The default color is blue. Did you try change the color. Also in the chart properties (press F8 on the chart) - try turn off 'chart of foreground'.

Good information here, and motivational for other traders Coach. Thanks for sharing your trades with us!

Generally currencies will 'breakout' when their respective economy is active. But some of the majors have worldwide interest. For example AUDUSD can be very active in the London session as London traders chase the AUD or USD. But generally speaking things like USDCAD where both currencies are...

Thanks for your contribution beta_trader. I am planning to make an indicator which you can attach to your chart to mark certain candlestick patterns like the inside candle, and others like outside candle and rejection candles. It will monitor time frames you select and give you the option to be...

Thanks for sharing your MT4 hack :). If you want to do some small adjustments in your market watch window, you can click - hold and drag currencies up and down the list to arrange them if you only want to adjust a few.

Yes, it can push you to your limits, but I still view it as one whole trade plan. If one trade gets stopped out they all do they are structured to be tightly linked to one another. Going out and taking 4-5 trades on multiple pairs at the same time is different and won't usually work out in your...

40/100 EMAs mimic the 10/20 emas on the daily chart. Those values wont work on the timeframes in between, you will have to do your own experimenting there to try come up with a close match. It could be calculated mathematically but I don't know how to - the math would be complex.

Stick with this then, it's pretty much what I do. Opening more trades that once is going to give any trade anxiety in my opinion, despite what you might hear. I've had in the past 3 trades open at once before and it put me on edge, and I felt like I needed to keep checking up on things. What...

You have to accept the market for the beast that it is. Sometimes trades will hit target in 1 session, others can take two weeks. Sometimes a trade will swing in and out of profit for days before actually moving decently in your favor. You just have to believe in your trading ability and your...

Are you worried about your winning trades turning against you? Once you're in a trade, try closing down your trading platform - and no mobile apps either. Don't re-open it until the next daily candle close to check what happened. The more you keep looking at your trades throughout the day the...

Fun Fact: I don't actually know any other real life traders in my area. I checked out the page but my internet is playing up. What features does this EA have that you're interested in. I could expand the money management tool.

I think you're suffering from a bit of anxiety fuelled by 'fear of loss'. I see you mentioned 'trades', as in your take multiple trades at once. If that is the case - try to only take one trade at a time. Most people tend to freak out like this when their trade is sitting in the negative, but...

Is my name Adolf Hitler :P Feel free to talk about your ideas!

Hey Guys, I just wanted to post this video to show everyone how to attach images to their posts correctly. I've noticed a lot of traders just leaving their charts as attachments. It looks much better if you attach the chart into the actual post - like I have been doing on the chart of the day...

they are peoples own personal chart preference, you would need to ask them directly.

1:50 is probably the minimum comfortable level you would need for sensible trading. 1:100 would be optimal. I know most US brokers don't offer more than 1:50.

Yes the mean value EMAs should ideally be applied to the weekly chart also The 10/20 EMAs are used.

I would just focus on find a broker you can trust with your money over anything else. Either model works fine - spread shouldn't be a big issue for a swing trader. Comprising a broker who is trustworthy to one who isn't over a couple of points is not worth the trouble. For more information...
