MO, I really like these chart examples where you toggled the colors to highlight only A SPECIFIC RAT's colored bars. :smt023

That simple tweak really makes them stand out especially for us feeble, old, near-sighted farts for sure! :D

A relatively simple nuance, but also a Great Idea.

Maybe A Reason Why

Postby oldmangeezer » Sun Oct 18, 2009 9:48 pm

Maybe a reason why we shouldn't keep our positions open over the weekend??

One old geezer to another, wondering if you were in the market at the close on Friday. Ever since 2009.09.11 I've decided not to ever be in the market over a weekend close. Also I like the idea of being out of the market while I sleep at night. What was this, about a 70 pip drop, it could be a lot worse. Why take the weekend risk?

If I knew how to code MT4 and was coding an auto trade EA, I could have it close all contracts each evening, and each Friday at the market close. Does this make sense?

I would never leave a trade go on over a weekend. Never know what will happen when the market closes from Friday 5 PM New York time to Sunday eve. I see the window closed on the GBP USD.

So just to tell the end of the story as it occurred over the past three hours, plus or minus, just look at the attached M1 chart below. Tonight the gap was filled in short order. When I saw the gap this afternoon, I asked myself, I wonder if the gap will be filled. If I had been long in the market at the Friday closed, I could have closed my position immediately or stayed in. I watched the market for the first 20-25 minutes and after 7 to 10 minutes decided it would be best to stay in for a while. The risk is that the market could also continue to plummet. The market opened on a long M1 candle, this helped the cause to "stay in".

As a BuyZone kind of guy, I also can't help but notice the short tails and many zero tails on the blue (sorry should be green) candles and the same thing with regards to the wicks on the red rat side. Looks like a lot of MO's momentum around this evening.

Trading is a gutsy business at times, in truth it takes guts to step up to begin with and stick it out.

What better way to keep you trading in one direction than to not have any short triggers?

I cut the TRO_HL in half and spent some time trying to "Sweet Spot" the indi before I just gave up and used fibo :lol: :lol: :lol:

1) price within 20 pips of the daily low - that is OPPORTUNITY

2) red candle closes

3) green candle closes - note the high price of the green candle.

4) enter long at the green candle's high price

5) STOP LOSS IS 10 PIPS

6) Take whatever profit you can.
