And today's article I want to give to you this possible opportunities.
As always do not take this information without any validation and forecast by your own risk management.

The suggested approach could be risk 50 pips as stop loss and the entry / exit at key levels or support / resistance areas.

The best is to follow the same process again, and again to improve results in the long time.
So, based on this goal. I will explain each of them with a picture to understand best what the price did after the signal.

These are Cypher, Gartley, Butterfly, Shark, Bat. Also, the list is quite a little big.

Also, each pattern has different quality and profit win ratio.

29/65

Ranking

1. Abstract
Some people likes to trade gaps because of this there are big probabilities of collect few amount of pips.
But the risk to approach it must be strategic and could be different to each situation.
Gaps often signal continuation with the direction of the open and close of that trading day.
But sometimes could be a sing of weakness if the GAP is filled in less that two trading sessions.
I found a particular situation on DAI, a Germany stock and I decided to go short on it.
In this article, I will tell you how the trade goes and the way as a suggestion to approach it.
2. Development
2.1 Open trade on DAI
I found this on my daily monitor, what I am looking is pattern formation such as Doji candles, inside bars, engulfing and so on.
This stock did some gaps the previous daily sessions and formed a bearish pin bar. At this level did few touches and
At this same level around 73$ per contract, the stock did few touches in the past and for me, this was a confirmation of a strong resistance.
this was a confirmation of a strong resistance.
The most incredible thing was to look an open GAP about of 240 pips.
That is crazy, I never saw a gap like this.
The next. was create a range to …

EURo Makes Rallies so what next ?

Beto Posted 3 Mar. in #Analysis #Forecast #Tactics #Strategies #Forex Market

6/52

Ranking

1. Abstract
On December last year, the Euro was in a range area of 250 pips, and then since the beginning of the year fall into a slow decline.
The most interesting here is about cross pairs because these are showing an interesting formation.
Technical analysis says that after a rally moves up or down happen a period of consolidation comes. Then a reversal is more likely.
I want to show the same scenario to the majority of the Euro pairs because these are the most tradable. More that exotic ones.
I prefer to work with the major pairs but not with the minors because of liquidity.
2. Development
The indicators used to this analysis are stochastic(15,5,5), EMA(40) and Fibonacci Levels.
As you can see the same characteristics on all of them, each pair have a particular setup to engage it.
Let's see each of them.
The realistic reward to risk ratio could be 1:1 but in strong moves, the best is 1:2 as minimun.
2.1 EUR/AUD
The chart above shows the price action going to touch a key level around the 161% Fibonacci Level.
The Stochastic is near to make a cross on a sell area.
A conservative approach could be put a sell limit at 161% or below the last candle low with targets at 23% or the la…

Money Flow Indicators Are Better than Rsi, that Is True?

Beto Posted 19 Dec. in #Forex #Market #Indicators #Tactics #Strategies

4/69

Ranking

1. Abstract
There are traders who take advantage of daily trading by using filters as early signs before place entry orders.
In my daily work, I have used indicators such an RSI, STOCHASTIC, and others to look for overbought or oversold areas.
Also, volume indicators and DMI to measure the power of the trend before place trades.
But, in my research to find the proper ways to improve my results over the time I have found two indicators that are used on stocks markets but I think could be used in currency markets.
Theory says that these indicators have better results, rather common daily used.
Unfortunate, dukascopy doesn’t have these indicators or I can’t find it on demo or real but could be great to have it to try it.
Let’s have a summary of them:
1.1 Money flow index
This indicator gives to us overbought/oversold areas, taking price and volume as the combination.
The RSI, use close prices by over a period, most common is 14 period.
1.2 Chaikin money flow
This indicator uses today’s prices only to make the calculations.
Volume and MFI indicators use current period with the previous one.

Poker Tactics and Golden Rules

Berkeley Posted 12 Sep. in #Tactics #Poker #Blind Stealing #Poker Face #Dukascopy Poker Contest

17/39

Ranking

Hello poker friends!Thanks for stopping by! Would you allow me to reveal some Poker Tactics and tips to all intents and purposes? First of all, let me quote clever and smart Mr. Simon Freedman: 'You play the player, not the cards. You're trying to assess the other players psychologically and sometimes you're kicking yourself internally, too. Playing poker's about understanding people. It's like driving a racing car. When you know where all the gear knobs are then you can use your skill on top of that.'And with this I would like to begin "Poker Tactics" with the Golden Rule - The POKER FACE!A face on a person without any emotion is called a poker face. In the game of poker it would be damn stupid to show any emotional traits that might screw the game for you. (A piece of advice en passant: It's not suggested to make a solid poker face when you have sex!) . So, pulling a poker face is an useful skill to avoid giving your opponent any tells about your hand.The main question is: What Style Of Gambling is most effective on the long run?The majority of players are regrettably loosing gamblers who play too much hands, tight players on the other hand mostly play strong cards, aggressive pl…
