Good Morning
I think I've found a good recourse for the kind of information I'm looking for. What I want to do is what we all want to do here, invest wisely. I came to the site after researching Darren Winters having attended a 2 1/2 hour seminar yesterday. I wanted to find out more before committing money. I've been manoeuvering myself into a position to invest with little money by [hopefully], using brains, not brawn!

Hi,

A newbie to this forum, (in fact the first forum I've ever subscribed to) I've been spreadbetting Forex majors for about 4 years. Tried a bunch of different systems and methods. Break-out continuation, momentum, event etc., I guess that the best I can say is that, thus far, I have broken even. All though it must be said I've spent hours trying to get my head around technical indicators, and various - so called - "highly Profitable" methods and schemes. Or may be this should read "Scams".

Being honest all I can really claim to have learned is that the markets I tend to play, (Cable and Euro/GBP) defintiely have their own distinctive characterisics.

I know this is a bit of trite statement, but the raft of lagging indicators, the mass (or mess) of so called 'expert opinion' - particularly when it comes to news and data releases and economic outlook prediction, is baffling. Clearly both mathmatical analysis and personal opinion is the subject of contradiction somewhere - depending on what analysis you're looking at or who is doing the forecasting.

So my opening question is "what do experienced forum members find to be the most reliable predicitive indicators and why". Putting this question into context I'm not talking about the usual MA crosses etc., but perhaps combinations of analytic tools

For myself I've looked at trading Delta time frames with. Whilst there is clearly something in it I didn't find the swing dates particulalry acurate or helpful on Cable. Being honest I don't really understand Elliot waves but it seems that these might provide an interesting predicitive indicator. As far a Fibonacci goes I am not convinced that this is anthing more than people seeing what they want to see. OK, I supose that as any market is only a reflection of what the participants to that market (people) believe, expect and react to. So I guess moves aganst big indicators like Fibonacci become something of a self fulfilling prophecy.

I mean one need only look at basic support and resistance - daily pivot points etc., to realise that whilst fundamentals always (well at least nearly always) underpin markets, daily movements seem to be largely arbitrary. Although I conceed that major players moving in or out of a particular currency is anything but 'arbitrary'.

So cutting to the chase, is there anyone out there that rekons that they have found the holy grail of predicitive indicators. And if there is, are you willing to share it with us mere mortals?

Try add bollinger bands and bandwiths to your arsenal of pivot points, set them up for breakouts on 15' charts and see what happens.

What you need is a *Leading Indicator* such as Oscillator Divergence to go with Pivots (another Leading Indicator)

Well done, nkruger! I always wondered what a hidden divergence was.
Thank you for the link to babypips.com, a great site.
I'll try your system with limit orders. Do you ever trade the forex ?

Hi guys, i started trading this week for the first time and made 60 pips at the beginning of the week,
then thursday,friday came and i lost all the gain due to trading ranging markets which i am not good at.

My broker rang me and asked me if i found it hard to trade on these days, and also said his guys who have 20 years experience havn't been able to make money over the last few days.

I think the market is ranging because of the uncertainty and is waiting for all the bad or good news to get out. Hope next week is a lot better, i will not trade range bound strategies, unless i see a good breakout.

I also earned 1.20 interest just for holding aud/usd for 15 mins after 10pm and will look to develop some strategies around that.

good look guys.

Hi, i am Emmanuel from Nigeria , a graduate of Industrial chemistry and have been trading forex for three years now but became a full time trader late last year and i would say it has not been easy but i am getting along,my trading techniques are basically moving averages and i am open to any help from the community in becoming a better trader.

Emmmanuel, you should learn candlesticks and stochastics, these are leading indicators
moving averages are lagging, meanining they tell you whats happened after the move
has been done, bad for short term moves, but ok for long term trends where you can get in late and still have a lot of gain.

If i can learn these indicators in a few weeks a chemistry graduate should pick it up fairly quickly, but then trading is about emotion/pschology as well as brains.
