so, you don't use any external analysis/predictions of other people? making prognoses is far more difficult than TA. banks have special departments for this skill

@jpadvisor do you also make your own predictions/analysis? let's say making predictions at the beginning of the week, or sunday seems to me the best day. we know what the economic calendar will be, but how to make it's predictions. i can't find ...

i use alien's system. but to me the adx is not important, because i only watch 1-2x a day. to me, the rsioma is the most important in combo with the stoch. but you also need PA and perhaps some other indi's, but not too many, because it will be too ...

@danielesse87 i don't know which kind of trader you are. but every TF has a different dynamic. it's up to you which one feels the most natural to you. i was a scalper and now i prefer day because i couldn't handle the stress of 1m tf. what i do, i ...

@jpadvisor so, you don't have a system to filter news? i do think, when you have a step by step plan/journal you could be far more accurate. because you can read your progress in thinking every day and make changes in it to be more accurate the next ...

@davit range trading is very difficult, you need alot of experience to be a range trader trend is for me,less experienced, easier to grasp. also noticed, pivots often give different signals, sometimes 180 degrees, compared to indi's. are pivots more ...

@jpadvisor do you write them down on paper? can you tell each step from newsfeed to your summary. iow your way of thinking from newsfeed to create your prognose step by step. 1: read news feed 2: which ones are important, write them down? 3:? you're ...

@Davit which of the 2 is most important, your own news prognoses or pivot points? iow which of the two is the most important/leading variable in your system/thinking?

@jpadvisor what you are doing is very important. what i've noticed, 9 of 10 times i lose, it's because of news. when i'm trading, sometimes trades are longer than 1 day. those longer trades, at some point there is news. my question: how do you ...

@Davit which newssites do you read to create your prognoses? i've always wanted to avoid the news and i only trade when everything is quiet. but having trades for 1 day or more, you can't do without news. for longer trades news is a very big ...

@cxqsm88 yes, the 4h and 1d are the core of this system but don't forget the 1w, perhaps more important than the 1h, unless you're trading 2-3 hours and get out. funny, i never use the adx. because each day i only watch 1 time the charts and that's ...

@madboy4u3 1h tf, 15-1800 hours highest, 4h tf volume is always highest on 12 and 16 hours, it's almost always the same pattern. it's only on the smaller TF there is difference in volumes. on larger tf it's difficult to see those differences.
- 19lexicon78 replied Nov 11, 2018
@madboy4u3 i've used volume for scalping. for scalping it's only volume and price. but i will check your method. to me, holding for hours or more, i've noticed volume is less important. use w/d/4h/h tf's, especially d/4h main tf. my method is now to ...

@sparkoz it's the problem of having to trade for 4h or more. with this system i can look 3h forward, i can win 10-20 pips, when i lose=news=100-200 pips. iow win/loss ratio isn't good at the moment. the system is ok when nothing happens, unfortunate ...

@alien and others i'll try it again. when everything is fine=indi's ok, charts ok, but at some moment there is news and you have a major reversal, not only for 1 day, but for weeks/months. when do you take your losses? using indi's and other ...
- 19lexicon78 replied Oct 25, 2018
@alien and others do you have sometimes trades for months on end? when you follow the day and week trends, often news does give it another direction. sometimes it takes 2 months before it resumes the weekly trend. do you play this long game when ...

@renoA you are lucky you don't have news against you, especially when holding 1 day or more. i've noticed, news will become important holding for 4 hours or more.
- 19lexicon78 replied Sep 21, 2018
@sparkoz of course, i did also. but forex factory has gems you'll never read at babypips. my advice, read both sites even as a beginner.

@imma1982 no, do not only start with babypips. but read this thread also. there are alot of gems to find, you'll never find at babypips. personally when reading indi's, more important is also to learn to read fx graphs without indi's, indi's are a ...

@alien uc is very flat, looking at week tf. perhaps a bounce 100 ema? yep, news is often killing me what i've noticed, taking 20-30 points is doable. but getting the trend, 50-100 points is something different and difficult. that's why i'm still in ...
