Dear Friends,
I'm glad to open a new section of our website dedicated to trading methods, techniques and ideas.
Here, me and my team, and hopefully you as well, will be sharing our favorite trading methods, for example, the best method to exit a trade, the best method to filter trading signals, a favorite method to identify ranging markets, a favorite entry method etc.

Hi there,
I would like to share some observations re crossing of averages, actually Simple Methods No. 1 & 2:
Some time ago I had serious problems with rallies up or down finding myself battling against the trend. You know how embarrassing this is even on the demo. Eventually I found the solution mainly on the 15M sheet using SMA crossing. Comparing both, SMA and EMA I found the early detection method more on the side of the SMA rather than EMA. EMA lags SMA by some days on the 1D, some hours on the 1H and even 1-1.5 h on the 15M sheet. Since time is money not alone in FX, I tend to prefer Method No.1 as the early detector.
Another observation is that crossing indicates lots of momentum, actually indicating that rallies are coming up.
Maybe the one or the other of you would like to comment, which I would appreciate greatly.
Cheers from Jamaica

Hi folks,
I wanted to have a little overview of Indicators being used in trading methods. I screened the 44 methods/strategies (from simple via complex to advanced) and prepared a little tick-list of Indicators either being used alone or in combination.
This is the result:
Total of strategies = 44 (30-7-7)
Averages - trend indicators such as EMA, SMA or WMA a total of 21 uses either alone or combined with the one or the other indicator;
Stochastics 9x
RSI 9x
MACD 8x
"Breakout" 8x / Bollinger 3x
ADX 5x
Trendlines 2x
Price 2x
Fibonacci 2x
Support/Resistance, Candles, ZZ and CCI 1x each.
What does everybody say, when it comes to FX education?
"Follow the trend"!
Wwell, well - it's done here.
Cheers from Jamaica

Thank you, Sam.
You've done a great job!
I've published the strategy already (here), and will return with comments and ideas later.
Best regards,
Edward
Hi Sam,
Thank you for you kind words.
I've got your strategy, which I'll prepare and post tomorrow.
What I didn't get is the screenshots. We use a third party module to upload files. Unless you specify the link to the uploaded file, we are not able to track it back...
Could you please find a minute to re-submit the screeshots this time pasting a link that you'll receive upon uploading into a comment.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Edward
Dear Edward
I've read your page since several weeks and working very hard with this.
Thank you very much for your marvellous side. If other people would winning your ego and that of your team, the world would be in best form. Congratulation.

I'll send you a strategy and I want to ask you a big favour making it perhaps more practicable.
Kind regards from Switzerland
