  2. Hi there dentist007, I was wondering what your leverage was considering your box size is 70 points?

    A 3 point reversal P&F would be 210 points, and with 100:1 leverage thats over double your positon?

    Would you use 20:1 leverage to trade FOREX P&F? Or is my observation wrong here?

    I was considering using P&F for forex because the S/R is wide, but flawless otherwise,but with a box size of 20 points.

    Thanks

    :)

  3. 100:1 leverage
    so, on a mini contract the margin is $100,and each pip is worth $1
    ordinary contract,margin $1000,and each pip is $10
    i trade 5 mini"s
    but...the charts i post are just for interest.the signals on daytrading are from 2 box reversal..hilo plot
    2 box shows up s/r better on intraday,and allows the stops to be closer...1 box hilo..the charts are too wide
    200 pips/day is easily achievable
    i have increased the $ amount for each pip,but found more success on smaller pip amount

  4. eurusd looking a bit stronger.possible breakout brewing
    daily data input 55 pips by 1 reversal.close plot
    above this is resistance
    a close above 1.3365 makes this chart bullish......however, 1.3475 area is a start of a new resistance zone that goes to 3650.zone is marked..black lines/dotted.this is false breakout territory.i have put on a couple of trendlines to see where strength/weakness could lie

  10. Dear Dentist, on a little bigger box size you see a clear trend within the EURUSD.

    This chart has a box size of 0.5 procent and shows a clear trend up to the 1.4160 after which we will probably see a small pull back after which it will move up (very high probability) to (big guess) 1.45 or higher:
