My Trading Holy Grail

Discussion in 'Trading' started by fxwizard, Feb 21, 2019.

  1. i think i will stick with ES, it is something i understand better and news does not affect my trading strategy so atleast that is something of an advantage to me. I just thought i could apply my trading strategy to other markets but it seems like ES will keep me busy for time being.

    Makes sense to me. With the amount of time I've invested in Forex (i.e., the degree to which I am familiar with the way exchange rates move) and the amount of success I am having buying and selling this category of assets, why would I switch to any other instrument(s)?

    Though to be honest, after a year or two implementing my strategy (successfully) in a live account rather than virtually, I will probably begin looking into applying it to gold and silver, since I feel these commodities trend significantly better than currency pairs.

    Clarification: I will probably begin looking into adding gold and silver—not switching to gold and silver.

    I've made another welcome discovery with respect to the (red) center line of Lee Leibfarth's Adaptive Price Zone (APZ) which is that it makes an even better zero-lag moving average than my (green) instantaneous moving averages, which I've always liked better than the Hull and other so-called non-lagging MAs.

    So by noting the position of the APZ zero-lag moving average in relation to my own instantaneous moving averages on a one-hour chart, I have an even better sense of exactly when the intraday trend is reversing direction and whether it is more bullish or bearish at any given moment.

    If you mean "brokers," I personally don't know of any. If I understand correctly, in addition to foreign currency pairs, MT5 enables individuals to ALSO trade stocks and futures Contracts for Difference (CFD) instruments. However, since trading CFDs for stocks and futures is not permitted in the USA (as I understand it) there is little incentive for U.S. brokers to offer the updated MetaTrader platform.
