Best Thread The 3 Duck's Trading System

thanks for the help. :)

just tried to open the alpari account but its not working on the mac!

i couldn't be a pain and ask if you know any system that run on a mac?

Macs are not good for trading almost most if not all things related to trading are done on PC platforms, i heard people get a windows emulator or something for mac, but if i want to trade i wouldnt mess about just make myself a decent PC.

Hmm not sure about that statement, I agree pcs are preferrable and esp if you are specifically talking about DMA, but SB platforms work fine on macs. They work ok on iphones also.

Not a great thread but related chat:

Forums - Will PC trading software migrate to ipad?

Personally I just could not touch-screen trade. Wld have to be keyboard / mouse period.

Hi Tradeguy, I've got a mac, I used to run a copy of windows on it through a piece of software called parallels. No mac version of MT4 unfortunately so I was sort of forced into it. I found parallels to cause quite a few problems, eventually culminating in crashing the whole thing, requiring a reinstall of the operating system. I wasn't really a "backing up" type of person before that happened - I am now!

So needless to say, I wouldn't recommend parallels. Right now I just have MT4 on a laptop running next to me and I have my broker software running on the mac. I never got around to linking mt4 with my broker, I might actually look into that.

I also have netdania.com opened all the time, it's a great website for charts. They do a great app for the iPad too. Freestockcharts.com is good too. It's all just a matter of what you are used to and what you are comfortable with.

Good trading

Actually, now that I think about it, I could probably do without mt4 completely if I just broke the habit! Netdania has a 60 sma, and that's all you need!
 
Greetings Duck Hunters,

The Euro is Alive and Breathing – Well, Just About
The Euro has been let up for a breather today and we are seeing some pullback on the Eur pairs. Pullbacks are going to be a natural part of the trend, they are nothing to be afraid of or we don't start going bullish just because there is a pullback within a down trend.

In The Coming Days
Keep your eyes on Eur pairs over the next few days because your 3 Ducks still favour selling when they line up on:
1. Eur.Usd
2. Eur.Gbp
3. Eur.Jpy

Risk versus Reward – A Bite at 2.1
Sometimes with our 3 Ducks trades its about taking small bites out of a currency pair at a good risk versus reward ratio.

Best wishes with your 3 Ducks Trading,

Andy

Damn right about that 9900 level. Apart from being the magic round number, it’s also has the weekly pivot and Friday’s high all within 10 pips of it. Plus, it also has the super secret FLU-T at 98445 which is by my calculation pretty much bang on where your duckies line up.

What’s making me think I don’t fancy it right now is the fact it’s the wrong side of today’s open and has slid apparently effortlessly through a bunch of minor potential Resistance at 9860/70.

If it gets below 9830 I’ll also be looking to get in again, and you’ll be 20 pips+ ahead of me….

as long as the Dow is falling AUDUSD is my 100% recommended sell pair......its not got the drama of the Euro or indeed the GBP so its the easier sell play during London and US trading (y)

Why not also consider A/J?

It's in the same bucket and could be treated similarly, but right at this moment, even though jpy is artificially cheap/weak the fact this pair hasn't risen more than it has is an indication that the big money is still in yen.

The growth attributed to reconstruction after the tsunami will take a while to be fully discounted in the longer term fundamentals. In the interim and for short-term trading, it’s still a Short, with Bull pullbacks.
 
Hi traders,

I love this 3 ducks trading methodology.

I think there is a potential trade in gold. Buy above 1600. Stop 1580. Take profit 1660.

Is GBP/CHF a valid 3 ducks sell. Or there is some technical aspect that I am missing?
