ebob said:Rog - murrey math is in essence based on Gann's work. The maths is complicated but using software or as some over at moneytec do excel spreadsheets is easy. There is a long an extensive thread on murrey over there, worth checking out. Another murrey thread is over at www.traderscommunity.com. For background reading check out http://www.webspace4me.net/~blhill/pages.aux/murrey/TKnotes.1.html. Or murreys own site www.murreymathtrading.com
Frugi, nothing wrong with being a cynic but those lines are drawn by the software my friend, the key is confluence of a number of indicators that lead to good risk/reward trades. so murrey for me is just one more tool - not the holy grail.
happy trading

so how, if possible, would you describe the calcs, in a nutshell ? Personally I would only ever use a trading tool that I fully understood.

In a nutshell the calcs involve repeated 'fractal' divisions of price ranges to obtain Murrey Math levels which have differnent significances for the probablility of a trend continuation or termination / reversal
The ones you posted are clear as a bell if viewed full size.ebob said:anyone have any tips on how to improve quality of .png - when saved in esignal? to make the chart clearer, im currently saving to local file in esig but when posted quality isn't as good as it should be. thanks.
ebob said:Hi peter,
I think you're confusing my post with tim's.
peterpr said:Yep - sorry about that.
For Tim - point is valid though. I don't use Tradestation but I'd be surprised if there isn't some good MM stuff out there already for it because there is for Esignal.

Hi There,
i was wondering if anybody actualy knows how to trade using Murrey Maths?
I have purchased the book, i also have the indicator on my esignal, but i am still confused as to when to buy, where to place my stop, and where to place my target.
I have backtests buying at 0/8, with target of 2/8 and stop at -2/8 but this is NOT profitable.
I have also backtest buying at 1/8 with target at 4/8, and stop at -2/8, and again this is NOT profitable.
So i have a few questions,
1. Does anybody actualy trade Murrey Maths profitably?
2. What your entry, stop, target rules for trading murrey math?
I can see many charge where the price bounces of a main Murrey Math line, but when you backtest it, it is not consistently profitable enough to simply buy and sell at the MML
So i want to know if anyone actually trades this system profitables, and what your system rules are for engagement?
Thanks
