Sure. My life became a blur of 16 hour days (start at 7.30am and get back 11.30pm). The only time I get more than a few minutes to think about anything is weekend and the markets are closed then. I haven't traded under any strategy for some time. I did have a little success with VES before I...

Hi Mr Smith Wonderful. Please keep us posted (pun intended). I have had time to do much more than work sleep and college so forex has taken a back seat for me. Best of luck Matt

Thanks Popov. That's wonderful. I'm rather pleased you introduced us to FSB. Thanks. Great to hear it worked better for you with EMA(8/68). That surprised me I thought you'd have to increase to the fast EMA(8) to smooth out the smaller triggers. Just goes to show. I have downloaded FSB...

Hi Popov Yes, when I used automated triggering it also let me down. Thanks for the tests however. Just a reminder to anyone who missed this paragraph in the original post. Also I'd guess the volatility of GBP/USD recently doesn't lend itself to this approach. That said I have found...

I have another idea. I not sure if it is best to post it here or to another thread or not publicly at all. I'm emailing the forums admin with it to pass to Felix. If there is interest I will post on the forum and gather additional feedback.

The big fish control too much and are the only ones making big money. The odds are stacked against the smaller guy. Gainful jobs with useful output typically benefit the employer more than the employee. How many independent gainful jobs can keep you living comfortable? By that I mean where you...

Thanks zarni Sorry I should have been more specific. Where I said: I perhaps should have worded it as: I have almost 15% of a likely purchase price. If I can continue with Forex and learn my stuff you never know I may get the rest... I'm pretty sure I and others would love to know where...

Thanks. I realise the future is uncertain and thats fine. Some events are very likely and it is wise to plan for them, 'just in case'. This time around I happen to agree with this 'pundit'. Yes, we could both be wrong. I'd be happy if that's how it turns out. Here's hoping eh... That said...

How to best weather the storm? Ok there is a lot of information here and I haven't read all of it. Forgive me if I re-ask this. I am a Britsh ex-pat living in America. I am solvent but no pension, I have savings but not enough for 20% down on a first house. I will have to purchase a house...

Hi About a week ago we saw the GBP/USD reach around 2.11. I was flabergasted it got this high but then all indications suggested it'd weaken further. Then it tanked to its curent value of around 2.05. I was curious as to why it might have done this and in such a quick fashion. It...

Hi John I initially replied to this post but got confused and answered as if it were a different strategy. Sorry for the confusion to anyone watching this thread. I am currently trying a different strategy (Volatility Exploitation Strategy) as such it is some time since I traded with this...

Hi Yup, EST. Based in NJ. Got your PM too. Remember I'm very new. I am still learning what a lot of the indicators are. I'll read up on Bollenger Bands, when I can. I have played with the software from GFT which I liked but hated no hedge betting. I trade with XE.com who introduce for...

Hi Pharaoh / timinaz Timinaz, yes thats what I'm saying. The closest limit usually hits first. So long as you keep it fairly close to the starting position. 10 pips is pretty safe, 20 pips less so, 100 pips and you'd better be right about the trend you bet on. Yes, you are right again, you...

Hi egg One, usually around 7.30am. Sometimes another around 6pm but usually one. I usually risk 100pips a trade and target around 10-20pips profit a trade (sometimes a tad more) in whatever direction seems sensible. Best wishes, Matt

Hi kamoro There isn't a site as such. The EMA is a indicator built into most if not all Forex charts, whether they be on the web or in some desktop software. I can't recommend a particur package or site but I'm sure others here can. I also suspect it'll be there in whatever you use for...
