Price either goes up or down. * No one knows what will happen next. * Keep losses small and let winners run. * POSITION SIZE = RISK / STOP LOSS. * The reason you entered has no bearing on the outcome of your trade. * You can control the size of your loss (skill) but you can't control the size of your win (luck). * You need to know when to pick up your chips and cash them in. Expectancy = (Probability of Win * Average Win) - (Probability of Loss * Average Loss) You cannot control the probabilities of wining or losing. You cannot control your average win size. The only part of the equation that you can control is your average loss size. PRICE ACTION “Now, 2 patterns of market behavior happen on a regular basis: 1) the price breaks to new high's (or low's) 2) the price reverses from new high's (or low's) They happen regardless of time frame . They are phenomena that can be exploited without the fear if found out by others, that they might cease to exist.” - H. Rearden 1) Price will either breakout of the high, low or both of the previous bar 2) Price will not breakout of the previous bar. You cannot reduce it any further. Anything else complicates the issue. ENTERING A TRADE You either decide to: 1) Wait and do not enter a trade 2) Trade a breakout 3) Trade a reversal. Those are your ONLY 3 options. That is all you need to know about trading.

This combo provides a CDR indicator with an Asian Range (first 5 hours) indicator as used by ICT. I have styled the default colours for the CDR indi according to ICT's use in his 05_14_14 webinar (they are pretty garish, but to each their own). Note that ICT did request people posting charts based on his work, if they include the CDR, to standardize their look. Features: Display can be turned on or off (no need to keep installing/deleting) Each element can be displayed independently (only display what you want to see) Colours can be set by user (but give some thought to ICT's request) :) Times can be set by user (but see limitations below) It is completely free (but don't request the source please) Limitations: Assumes no dinky Sunday charts :eek: (so it won't work across "days") Suitable for server "days" that end at NY close and start on Asia open (see chart) Sample chart: x1iTuDo.png If your broker's server has different starting and ending times for each day and you need an indicator to cross days like ICT's does each Sunday-Monday then you may find the indicator by Hopiplaka better suited.

I decided to break this out of another thread I had since it fits here and is semi useful to people planning on buying a computer just for trading with MT4: MT4 is old as dirt.. pushing past 10 years now. It's strictly 32bit. It can't make use of more than 2Gb of RAM, single threaded, and it doesn't handle well on Windows Vista and beyond. It also can't make use of a lot of the newer hardware assisted math functions found in some processors... nor have I seen anyone putting out a version that can take advantage of GPU computing to speed backtesting up. Basically, it's dated. So I found for the best possible experience (speed wise,) for MT4 backtesting, start by setting up a system with a higher clock rate, higher cache, dual core (not quad or greater) processor. You don't even need dual core, but it's not like you can find single core processors these days and at least the 2nd core means you can browse the net without it feeling sluggish as your MT4 works away on a backtest. Run 32bit Windows XP... actually, I've been told by a very high up person at a brokerage (who knows his way around IT stuff) that the best OS for MT4 (stability and speed wise) was Windows 2000.. 64bit Windows has to run MT4 in WOW mode, that's Windows-on-Windows... it's a compatibility layer and it slows the kinda processing MT4 does during backtesting down quite a bit. Don't worry about RAM greater than 3-4Gb. More is just not needed (OS won't use it, MT4 won't use it.) Just a few thoughts if you ever are building out a system specifically for MT4 backtesting. You won't be future proofing yourself going this way, but at least MT4 will run like a dream. Click to expand... Now I do suggest investing in a decent (read: stable and well supported by the manufacturer) system that will allow you to run more intensive software than Metatrader 4, but if all you need is MT4 and don't want to spend a lot, then the quote above will help. A decent box for just MT4 can be had for under a hundred bucks these days if you pick up an off-lease business-level desktop from a refurb company.

This is probably as much as a constant reminder to myself, but I'm sure someone else starting out might find this point helpful. On the MT4 Tool Bar, there is a "Chart Shift" button. This allows you to move the Leading Edge of the Chart off of the side. When you have a 1920x1080 resolution or higher, when looking more closely at a pair, especially in a smaller time frame (M1 to M15) chart, be sure to move the Chart Shift point to near the middle of the Window. What happens if you don't is that MT4 will generally have more data on the screen than it was originally designed for. The visual scaling doesn't handle it well, bringing in a lot of data and making it hard to actually focus in tightly on a smaller section. At least not without looking like a bunch of pancakes on screen. If you're just starting out and have a decently sized Desktop resolution, this is how you get "prettier" graphs & screens. MT4 does let you "Fix the Scale" of the screen, but most of the time this trick will suffice. You could also Window the Chart, but this trick saves you some hassle/gives you control of the Leading Edge.

Title says it all, I'm looking to start collecting tick data from various sources in real time and store it for analysis at a future date. I know I can find historical tick data and just test against that, but I'm actually interested in broker specific feeds and the differences between them. I've also google-foo'd my way to find a few packages and scripts that claim to do this, but I was hoping someone here might already have gone down this road and could share their experiences and any tools used. Cheers!

Despite this week’s dip, nothing in Bitcoin's technicals signals a major shift. On the daily chart, Bitcoin remains above the 50 MA and just below the 200 MA, with a potential golden cross on the horizon. The EMA ribbon shows neutral positioning, and Fibonacci levels indicate strong support around $38,400–$37,600. This correction is a normal phase in Bitcoin's ongoing bull run. Stay steady and remember, Bitcoin investment is a marathon, not a sprint—dollar-cost averaging (DCA) remains key.

Cryptocurrency trading is known for its volatility, which can result in significant price swings. To navigate this volatility, traders employ various strategies to manage risk and maximize gains. One approach is to focus on market trends, using technical analysis to identify patterns and predict price movements. Another strategy is to diversify a portfolio by allocating assets across different cryptocurrencies, reducing reliance on a single coin's performance. Additionally, traders may utilize stop-loss orders and position sizing to limit potential losses. Furthermore, staying informed about market news and events, such as regulatory changes or global economic shifts, can help traders anticipate and adapt to market fluctuations. By combining these strategies, traders can effectively manage risk and capitalize on opportunities in the volatile cryptocurrency market. It is essential to stay flexible and continually monitor market conditions to adjust strategies as needed. Ultimately, a well-thought-out approach to managing volatility can lead to success in cryptocurrency trading.
