So they lose because they do not know how to respond to change?

Everything works and everything doesn't :lol:

No, I don't think it is about responding to change.

Price goes up or down.

If you only trade one direction and limit your loss in the other then the outcomes are:

1) you lose X pips

2) you stand to gain the average of ( high - open ) on average which is more than X pips.

3) you never get an entry

There is no analysis, thinking or guessing. Price has to go up 5 pips from the open or you do not trade. If that happens, then you buy. If price drops 8 pips from your entry, then you lose. Otherwise, you are in the position to profit from the move.

If you "get lucky", you may get a 50+ pip winning trade.

The hardest part is QUITTING WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD!

Almost as hard is clearing your mind of the nonsense that it has learned regarding trading.

The chart shown is "cruel". If there was a possible way to lose, the trade is shown as a loss.

Hi TRO,

If possible, are you able to modified TRO_RANGE_EZ_P2 to show the median Q2, lower quartile Q1 (25%) and upper quartile Q3(75%)? I found them more informative especially if there are extreme outliers.

Here's a diagram to show their relationship to a normal distribution curve.

Thanks.

thanks TRO I especially was interested in the range gauge but it seems I don't have this one. I think it has some different name.

1. When there is a higher low

2. When there is a breakout from either end of the candle that made the higher low.

3. When there is a breakout from a trading range.

Joe Ross says that a trading range is defined as 5 candles closing within the range of a previous candle.

I start with 1 candle closing in the range of the previous candle and then use the range of the last 2, 3, 4, & 5 to determine a trading range:

Just because an indi is on or off my chart that does not mean that I am or am not using it.

I use the following indicators to trade:

SweetSpotsGOLD

TRO2009_%CHANGE_CW2

TRO_TopOfHourAlarm

TRO_MO_MoneyManagement edited to THREE & FLEE

Candles ;)

I reread MightyOne's rules.

"I start with 1 candle closing in the range of the previous candle and then use the range of the last 2, 3, 4, & 5 to determine a trading range: "

This version is closer to the rules.
