Why Can't I Trade with the Trend

I guess you will never ever learn how to trade. Only some one who doesnt know like yourself will talk out of your other hole. Before I take a trade I already know how much I will lose....including commissions. Tell me since you are a pro do you use optimal F or position-sizing according to volatility.....or do you just make a educated guess on the chart....what a tool :eek:

 

my calls have been posted since 2000 on www.clearstation.com, www.elitetrader.com and another site as well.

 

a fine example of what to expect when you shop for broker.

 

Tell me what are my ideas nonsense....quit smelling your behind...the sun is sunny on the other side.

 

Who cares...if you can't make your mind on how you trade, don't blame your loses on a third party...I don't pull the trigger you do....

 

gentlemen: You have many good ideas and this is an emotional subject. But please try to maintain a dignified mien as bathroom language and personal invective makes people who wish to improve themselves feel low and degraded, loses many potential contirubuters who seek a higher plane, and generally leads to a much worse educatio .. I am a newbie from a perspective that can perhaps see things from the grandstand., and that is why I reach out to request a reasonable affabillity and benefit of doubt. thanks. profturf.

 

I DO BUT I GET YOU POINT

 

Forex King,

even if you calculate the commission in, it still is a negative sum game. Probably you don't understand that.

Secondly, your attitude is not as it should be. You're aggressive towards others without a reason. You mix up discussion with insulting people.

Third, i copied a few statements from you. I'm client at Global Futures and will maybe come and visit you and a colleague of you at the firm.

 

Does a trend exist?

I added a chart to show what I think.
It is part of my system. I show just enough to prove my point of view.
My system trades in 4 timeframes with in each timeframe 3 subgraphs. ( 1 is shown the others not). Each subgraph contains several indicators. The interpretation of the indicators in the subgraphs vary, depending of the kind of trend I that I can mesure.

These charts show the trade of today.

What do we see on these charts?
· 60 minute chart: gives a sell signal at the yellow arrow ( 7.30). For this strength of trend this combination of the three indicators is valid ( combined with indicators in another subgraph that you don’t see).
· 15 minutes chart: we check the hourly signal and get a confirmation at 8.00 hours where the yellow arrow stands. ( combined with indicators in another subgraph that you don’t see).
· 3 minutes chart: we look for the first entry point that we can find.. At 8.18 we get the entry point at 1215.50. ( combined with indicators in another subgraph that you don’t see).


How long do we have to stay in the trade? As long as necessary to take the maximum move. This means that you have to know in advance how far the trend will go.
When we entered the trade it was already clear that we had to stay in till the close of the bar numbered 1. This decision is calculated but not shown.
When we reached point 1 a new calculation told me to stay in till point 2.
When we reached point 2 the calculation gave an exit at the close of the day.
So, sold at 1215.50 and bought at 1202.25.


So does a trend exist?
I don’t know, but I know that there are things that exist but are denied by the majority of the traders. Why? Because they don’t know of the existence of these things, and therefore by simplicity they assume that it doesn’t exist because they don’t know about their existence.
