Thats the thing with forums, a comment or statement, can be taken abstractly, litaturally. Throw in communication barriers, and mix it with ones personal fears and desires...It could be a mess!

Nice one, I'm glad someone said it.

All I keep seeing here is H4 then drill to H1 then so on and so forth.... copy dragon down to the T ... emulate ... doesn't work out ... find out why .... do it again ... go in circles etc... jmho but waayyy too rigid

I guessing the ideas presented here is deliberately being introduced mechanically so that kreslik traders 'may have a aha moment' after more experience

GOING WITH THE FLOW is the best advice I got

What can I say, I make it look easy ;)

I do highly respect the other traders here (without naming names) but I couldn't trade like they do if I tried.

My way is simply: position = safety, lot size = money, & pips happen to those who wait.

In four years I have tried to explain it mechanically (yes, body in the direction of profit, wick in the direction of loss) but the answer is not in the mechanics, it is within yourself.

Its a good thing that BB is making up rules.

Its easy to drown in relativity of the market. Market is not rewarding for every good decision and punishing for every bad decision. To see the variables You need to stick with ANY RULES.


Rules wont help him but "buy cheap" will. Im sure :wink:

How are you guys using TRO Price Turn indi when actually trading?

I had the original one, the candle color indi for awhile but realized I almost never used it, so I took it off.

Something that is discrete...on/off is almost never useful to me.

It's only when you can compare it in a non-discrete way does it become much more valuable.

If you guys can give me some examples of how you make decisions off it in real time, I have some ideas on how it can be greatly improved and can code it over the next week/weeks when I'm bored...

My fundamental problem with it is that it is way too discrete to be useful.

For anyone that responds,

Draw up an improvement example without regard to MT4 restraints.

Just create something that would be cool and how you think it should be even if you don't think it would be possible in MT4.

Some of the more cool stuff I've done in MT4, I determined what I wanted and than figured out the best way to do it given the constraints of MT4...

I think it was a cultural / language barrier.

As TRO says, the only way you can let others affect you is if you allow it to happen
