Those are DT ZZ indicators. I use a long period for trend direction (big dots) & short period (small dots) for pullbacks. Just entered long based off signal. The range bars for MT4 doesn't seem to be any issue with printing. Good luck with your testing.
Ok. How do I know which ones? That's very similar to what I do in my long term stock trading account. Ok.
Tight stops with no wiggle room requires picking tops or bottoms and then hoping there aren't any pullbacks. If anything, I was thinking of making my stops even wider.
No place for hope in this business. You got to know your method, all stats related to it. And make your risk as little as possible to make your equity curve optimal. Ultra-tight stops and "hope" for no pullback (which in reality means, that such a trader knows: it works better for him, than wide stops and sitting through pullbacks), may work great too.
