Hi all and a big thanks for Mike having created the forum and you all for keeping it alive and vibrant!

I started to look into FX trading a few months ago, At first I was faced with what I guess are the usual problems:

How to create a strategy in Metatrader4, how to test them etc etc. I even gave up all my spare time for a couple of weeks just to build my first tick-by-tick strategy with four entry qualifiers and a couple of exit qualifiers..in Excel! When done I learned that it was practically useless due to its lack in flexibility. About the same time, I came across NinjaTrader which I find a terrific platform.

Now, I am facing a few problems in order to take the final steps towards testing and putting something live and trading. There is a lot to learn and I will bombard the rest of the forum with questions.

If I can share what I have learned during the journey I would be happy to.

Thanks and happy trading!

Hey now!

I'm a 31 year old construction guy looking for a hot, sexy rich experienced female trader to show me the ropes! LOL seriously I've come here to try and learn charts to make money pretty much just like everyone else.. I'm a decent guy who can be quite reserved at times and is also not the greatest speller/writer. Oh ya I also love my alone time! But on the flip side if I like you, I can be extremely witty, and funny.. My thoughts and verbal word play can be hilarious to a chosen few.


Heres my other link.

Hello All,

i'm using this forum for a while now, off and on and do notice a lot of experience. I'm in trading for 10+ years, but specialised in futures in the last 3 years.

Continiously looking for even better indicators that enhances my profits on trading futures, Fdax & S&P mini's. I'm sure i can help some people finding their way in the tradingworld, but at the same time, pick up a lot of excellent information and indicators on this site!

An excellent site, well done, hopefully i can contribute to the quality.

Kind regards,

Rob

Hello Hamstrus,
I dont trade live yet, will start in few weeks. But I have some experiances with burning account... Maybe I can help with some of your questions. I trade only FDAX index. Divergence on RSI. and only morning sesion 9-12. The way I am testing is like this. Using Ninja trader 7, I move the 5 min chart to any date, on other screen I have 60 min chart, where I am choosing trend. Then I am simply moving chart by each candle, till a signal comes up. If all criteria are met I put enter price, time, SL, and other datas to an excel sheet. Then I am moving chart more till it reaches either SL, or PT or other exit set by strategy. Any major ideas, changes I test like this on 100-200 days, then I paper trade the same idea for at least one month. I hope this will help you a litlle.

Lu.

Hello Big Mike,

Thank you fixing my Indicator problem.

I looked through the newcomer section and did not find an answer and the search box also did not it. How do I jump to a certain page number in a certain thread? The pages listed on the top can be changed only one at a time. Is there a help button / FAQ somewhere on this site that can answer these type of questions? Thanks.
