    Changing my broker in order to prove something to Surf is a bit too much don't you think so? :D

    As for definition: TA for me is using historical price charts for trading decisions. Charts with price and volume, DOM. That's all. No other tools.

  2. Good Luck with your thread Cornix, I will follow.

    FWIW, I attached an output page from NinjaTrader which is what I use. It has the options of showing only the fields you want to show.
    If your platform has the same ability, perhaps something like this might help make your trades less suspect.

    Thank you, BMW. It does and I arranged the fields in a way to show what I want to show (basically everything except accounts, size etc.).

    Ive never used it, but why not use collective2 if you're serious about offering transparency? The performance metrics would be helpful as well in showing that you're not simply swinging for the fences.

    Thanks. I should check out if C2 compatible with my CTS login provided I simultaneously trade several individual accounts with it.

  7. Does my memory serve correctly? You explicitly stated you use breakouts and noticed zero difference between now and 10 years ago? I don't feel like searching for the thread.

    Yes, core of my approach is range breaks.

    It's cyclical and mostly volatility related. From pathetic 2007-like years to amazing late 2008/2009. Since about 2011 volatility in currencies started to decline again. But will sure be back again as well.

    Other than those volatility changes related to macro conditions I don't notice much of a difference. Didn't trade 10 years ago and wasn't experienced enough back in 2005/6 but since about 2007 I can say for sure it's just cyclical but no different.
