Yes they are and it is an edge I use in my trading. I believe Dragon33
mentions 50% also, sorry I don't follow him so much. Not sure
exactly how he incorporates it.


The 50% areas are everywhere on the charts. Starting with the body of an H1 candle. The retraces are also 50% and so on. When you start looking for them, yes they are everywhere on the chart and yes they are very important


When I was researching fibs for awhile I did SEE the relationship of price
retracing 50%. (not timeframe dependent)

It seems as though you fade the 50% as I do and look for continuation of
trend.

Well I already have the RAT automated, so just tell me what you want to add to it.

Thanks newschool, I will definitely keep this in mind if I think up something I feel confident enough in.

Can you apply the automations to custom time frames (like say, M12 chart candles)??

Thanks

The past week was the first time I was able to see green on the excel I use to track my trading progress. Been seeing a lot of red lately. I feel more comfortable in the trades I have taken. Trade demo if you have to. For me, I always knew I was trading with fake money and could never get past it. I trade live and just lower my lot size (can't lower it much more then it already is). :smt046

Skaven,
Instead of doing your own Excel sheet, maybe to consider http://www.fxstat.com or http://www.myfxbook.com ??

In addition to keeping track of your P/L, they do a ton of different, fancy data analysis's .

How did you get a link to an individual post?

The trick is to scale in and rest your average orders beyond S&R :shock:
Thanks MO, if simplicity is possible, then I believe that once I keep this in mind, I will be able to find it as well.
After taking some time off, I feel much better to relax, take it easy, enter with smaller lot size, and learn to let the charts talk to me without overcomplicating.

:evil: And of course PATIENCE IS KEY! :evil:

...when I do my cut & paste notes, I include a link to the exact post, so that if necessary i can go back and check out the note in the context of the thread. This "" icon {next to 'Posted: <Date>'} gives you the link to the exact post.

You certainly have been putting in a lot of effort with this thread. With all this work, you are surely on your way.

Yep, I'm figuring it out bit by bit. And I'm also remembering to keep a simple outlook with the charts.

But I've been noticing your moves too, Mr. "I figured that i can't get help unless I start posting." :D

When I get back to Blind Mouse, I'll be checking your recent posts for more insights.

Thanks for the input. I will definitely check those out (especially fxstat), but for now, I will still use my excel. It's an ever growing excel I put together myself that tracks my progress (just manually inputted lots gained/lost and money gained/lost) and uses that information with some other predefined variables to determine number of pips needed per day/week, lot size to trade, etc. Just lets me know how far I've come and how far I need to go based on my money management rules. Even lets me know if I exceeded my goal. It also tells me if I need to stop for the day. The other day I threw in some extra cells into my "if" statements that will still allow me to trade if my wins exceed my losses by a certain ratio.

Edward

PS - Seems you have your focus back. That's good to hear. There's already too much to read on this board, but I would have hated for your thread to go away. Good luck.

Are you starting with and trading based on a high TF chart?

If so then you will start off with a 1/5 or 1/4 position and increase your position size as larger periods of time close over stronger and stronger imaginary lines.


MightyOne,
I must admit this is about as far as I usually look as far as higher timeframe goes. (When trading, I am visually focused on the M15/M45CC chart):

Image


I feel, if I go look out on the H4 this is what I'll get, and don't think that little bit more will help:

Image


And this is my chart in relation to a daily that I might pull back to: (I guess I check it out occasionally, but I can't explain it, it feels weird trying to make decisions off of it if my focus is the M15/M45CC and if I am already getting as much info as I am getting in the blue rectangle.

Image


And I'm not saying I disagree with anything you're saying, maybe, I just like the frequency of signals I get on the M90, and when I look at daily, it seems like I'm waiting longer for a signal, so it feels like I'm not viewing it correctly or doing it right at that timeframe...
