Algo signals don’t get much clearer.

It is a old school belief of ‘rollover’ expectation, but ultimately is filling long positions.

No, I am not familiar with repairing a trade but I am hedging and also selling again on the way down (if it is going down, hopefully) What do you suggest? Also, any suggestions of books to read or anything else to improve my trading is most welcome.

I used to read books trading related, but particularly today they are not very applicable as…Read more

Buying is gradually declining though.

“Cyan = Long Term Short Stop Positions
Blue = Short Term Long Stops
Orange = ???
Red = ???
Yellow = ????”

orange below price = MTS of DM longies
yellow above price = MTS of DM shorties

blue / turquoise = STS

pink: LTS

red bars = DM shorties (x- and y-axis….first histogram live, second historical)
green bars = DM longies (x- and y-axi…

I would urge anyone who uses the platform to use the ‘vote’ for suggestions to get features added. They appear to be listening to suggestions now.

They still have some very, very annoying bugs which I think are windows related, but it appears to be using…Read more

To the astute eye it stands out, but most would not see it. See images attached.

It is so interesting to watch. I see that the EU is trapped, it can’t go very far up into the stop cloud as longs will be too far into gain and those guys will win, it can’t go down as soo many shorts so those guys will win. Sooner or later I guess it has to go one way or the other. I am intrigued to see how the AIs will resolve the sit…

Are you able to label the horizontal colored bars on charts displayed?

One has to assume to work out what each color represents. It can only be seen as ‘cryptic’ and meaningless unless explained fully. As you can see I include text explanations on my charts uploaded here.

I am assuming there are categories like:

As it happens I am a short trapped from late June and I have been hanging on thinking there might be a drop.

The algos will be working on you then. Are you hedging at all? Are you familiar with repairing a trade?

Yes CTrader is an improvement, but still has many frustrating faults/limitations. The idea for me was to get away from bad habits picked up from MT4.

Shorts trapped back in June have been mostly squeezed out, some to mitigate the major short positions at break even or better. Target 0.6850.

I could be wrong, when it appears too obvious they won’t let these play out and throw in big trap moves.

Lets see

From a retail forex point of view, I would suggest IC Markets, mostly because their data source and spreads. They had a DOS attack some years back but have been ok since. I always have a IC platform open even if its demo as the market data feeding any algos seems to be the best. I have been trading for a long time and there are others…Read more

Some great target stops above but not fully convinced this is a bottom, more likely false to be targeted for London/US official bottom placing yet to happen. Will also be seen on testing the London tops on AUDUSD.

Hope some find this information useful, not many have access to…Read more

There still appears to be delays and reluctance to implement the precise tools though which makes me wonder if they are controlled by regulators as to not allow ‘profitable tools’.…Read more

The other side of metatrader is it provides way too many options (tools) for server side, when it should simply just provide a ‘market to trader’ service.

Target audience is newbies.

Watch them try and protect the London/US top, sometimes to 1 or 0.5 pips.

The chart has one of my automated proprietary displays shown which highlights undisputed market player moves, the inverse is these are also liquidity target points. This is in CTrader.

Original authors detail inside, I have since modified to buy and sell.

Those who don’t scale may not find these useful, but if you scale in I don’t know how you can trade without this value.
