You can only trade pairs with + in the end. Like EURUSD+ or GBPUSD+ etc

I think it is not possible to use automatic trading system, because the data is changing and so I always adjusting the numbers. Well, it may be possible, I just cannot imagine how. :)It is best in swing trading, but also great in daily trading. In fact, in daily trading there is another parameter which can be used - interest rates. It is possible to build zones based on Interest rates and find out entering and exit levels of the banks.

small remark to previous post: not all traders will have Margin Calls, but the worst ones! (with the smallest accounts and worst entry prices). This Margin Zone (0.78177 – 0.77977) represents price levels with increased amount of supply.

Let’s look at AUD/USD:The price right now is above the Balance Line and that indicates an uptrend. (“aud1” attached image AUD/USD Daily chart), but to be sure we need to look deeper. On “aud2” AUD/USD H4 chart you can see the blue “Margin Zone” (0.78177 – 0.77977). Most traders who are still holding short positions since the down movement from the 03rd of June till the 6th of June will have their Margin Calls on that level. What does that mean? If they were selling, margin call means “buy at market price”! So as soon as the price will...

Analyzing price chart with different oscillators, moving averages, and other indicators make to me no sense. How can you predict future looking to the past? Well it will be very subjectively. It is just not enough! You can draw some support or resistant lines, but why should they work? Be course a lot of traders also drew them? You put 30 periods MA, or EMA? Why 30? Why not 32? Or 33? For how long will this work? When should you adjust? After you lose all your money? All this indicators are still part of a gamble game or let’s say blind gamble game. Of course you can win and if you do - ...

There are a lot of links and a lot of calculations involved. I will be posting things slowly. However I take everything from Exchanges where you can trade FX DERIVATIVES. CME website or sometimes ICE

It is little more complicated. The goal is to locate critical zones for the hedged positions of the market makers. As soon as the price will leave this options corridor, and as long the price will stay outside of it, the market makers will lose money. However sometimes they do. :)

EUR/USD in Experienced Traders Jun 14, 2015 at 12:50

Let's use Derivatives OPTIONS AND FUTURES to analyse EUR! The month began with the down movement but then the price returned into the upper half of the “Options corridor”. On the first attached image (daily EUR/USD chart) we can see a resistant on the Balance Line (1.12250). I would like to repeat, that this Line as well as both green and gray zones are results of EUR Options trading on Chicago Exchange. Everything is based on real data and not on some questionable and subjective parameters.Anyway, this situation indicates an uptrend. But let’s not hurry. There is another...

Thanks @Niels for your comment. I work with Limit Orders already. However the problem in my RM strategy is not that T/P wont get hit, it's that after hitting, the price continues to go and I miss larger profit. I mean, I limit my profit...

Nice performance James! But be careful, I noticed that you use 50 pip S/L and 2-3 pip T/P, I think that is very risky. However if that is working for you, good luck man! 😄

EUR/USD in Experienced Traders Jun 07, 2015 at 15:59

Hey everyone!I would like to share with you an interesting way to interpret a price movement. So if you are tired of using some questionable support and resistance lines, moving averages, etc. - this method will be right for you, because it shows you the anatomy of a market. As you may know the market makers are using various derivatives to hedge their positions. Like currency futures or options, swaps, forwards. Guess what! We can use that! So here I will show you how I use information about FX Options to trade spot.On the daily chart you can see EUR/USD. The green zones are representing a po...

@alexforex007 do you fix S/L and T/P?

The reason that new traders fail that doesn't involve psychology in New Traders Jun 02, 2015 at 06:46

Hey guys! I think that most newbies are looking for a perfect and simple trading strategy but they are totally forgetting about Risk Management. And that's causing the problem! I believe that even most of crappy free fx-strategies which you can easily find on youtube will work if you will implement correct RM. Will you agree on that?

Im an investor. How to find a consistent traders? in Experienced Traders Jun 02, 2015 at 06:45

Has anybody heard, that a broker give funds to one of their retail-client (traders)? I mean like for example: FXCM sees that one of their clients "Trader Joe" is very profitable and they decide to invest in his performance.Is there such a thing? Just curious, although I have never heard about it. But why not actually?

I think every fx-trader should use Barclay Currency Traders Index as a strategy Benchmark. What do you think? http://www.barclayhedge.com/research/indices/cta/sub/curr.html

RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES in Experienced Traders Jun 01, 2015 at 12:00

Hi there!Any good trader will tell you that Risk Management is the most important thing. It is even possible having a bad trading strategy but still make profit constantly with a good RM. Agreed?I use the most standard one: My S/L is certain percentage of my balance (I use 0,35% for one account and 1,5% for another), and I have always fixed T/P which is S/L*3. So profit/loss ratio is 3:1. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!This Risk management strategy works for me, all I need to have is winning rate above 30%. But there are some weak spots:First: I don’t move my S/L, I don’t even touch it. It is eit...
