QUOTE seeing on how my friends trades, which often losses, it seems that they might have something in common.
1) due to stop loss (inappropriate SL for inappropriate time frame) 2) chasing market too closely 3) unable to identify price bounce and crosses 4) unable to define trend and know/trade its direction 5) emotionally traders add no 5 there...

well..from my indicator of a 4h chart...the price is expected to bounce a little. It might hoop and bounce on WMA20 for another 2-3 times till the next crossover. But..for it to reach 213.xx...it'll take kinda long time..assuming it does bounce back up.
Added on March 8, 2008, 10:20 amp/s also take note that MA-s are converging on the 4h chart..good time to hedge (maybe on monday)?

hmm...i've been testing on the difference on WMA and EMA. i used a period of 5 on each indicator (close). when the price goes bullish and bearish, both lines shows converging and diverging respectively. during reversal, both lines are seperated with greatest width. anyone interested can have a look.

Now u know why computerize stop losses are the reason for retail traders to lose. Stop losses must be place inside ur mind, not in the trading platform. I have been hugely addicted to an old online game = Anarchy Online. Its free and fun to play. Will continue to take a trade break until I get boring on this game.

i think GJ will go down. for a few days.

Use meta editor to open the indicator. Then replace any colour name with different colour name that you like. And press the compile button. very simple actually. i used to think its very hard, but then i tell myself if i am going to stare at this thing day after day, might as well make it look 'pleasant' for myself.
