What do you want to know?

Haven’t written in a while… and as the markets I follow have been on summer vacation… what better time to fire off an article.

Unfortunately I don’t really have anything to write about.

So what better time to do a question and answer…

So go ahead, use the comment section below to ask away…

From all the questions posted, I’ll pick one and send them a copy of one “Trend Range Trading”

Hello,

well, if you ask me this way …

do you have a method to detect ranges and trends?
Or with other words, can “Trendiness” be measured?

A possible answer should not include ADX or RAVI etc!

This ability is most important for building stable strategies.

Regards

Peter

Hi,

I have been trading since April of 2006, and have studied just about everything that is out there, I am now tapped out as far as money goes, in fact, the economic situation in our nation does not help either, with 3 kids and now unemployed, I have no money to pay for this trend range trading material, it looks awesome and sounds awesome, I would really like to get my hands on this material and study it, I think Ray, your material is great but just have no funds at this time to pay for this great stuff, I would love to be the one to get the rewarded free copy, as I am educated with an MBA and a teachers’ certificate and think this stuff will hep me turn the corner in m trading, thanks for your time.

Most of the experienced traders said to check long time frame before entering the forex market.

What I should do if 30 minutes time frame is showing short trend(to sell) while 1 minute time frame is showing long trend(to buy)?

Hello,
I have been told that if you trade an at-the-money straddle with at least 3 months of time and close the trade within one month, there is very little chance of taking a loss. Is this true?
Thank you,
Mike

Gold usually go out of favor during the summer season.
This summer it is staying in range.
Do you think it will stay above 900 or
fall below this point soon?
Thank you.

If you enter a trade with a profit target and stop loss and are stopped out is there any merit in doubling number of lots for the next trade or halving lots for first trade then use full lots next trade if unsuccessful first trade.

I over-trade. Not in lot size, this is kept small and is not a problem; I mean the number of trades I do a day. I seem to leap in to any of the six major currencies at the slightest provocation. I have a small stop and a larger target, but with the trades that move into profit, find myself bringing in the stop very quickly and then getting stopped out for a small gain. I of course don’t do the same thing to the trades that are losing, so tend to get stopped out of the losers at the initial stop level. Therefore I’m now committing two cardinal trading sins: over-trading and closing out my winners and letting my losers run!
Question: How to overcome both problems.

Hi I would like to know the best way to use money management

most people seem to recommend 1-5 % of my account

as I am just starting out I have lttle captital to start out with about 5ooo dollars so that makes most trades impractical
so I will probably look for options in the 500 dollar range and use conservative strategies but one bad trade will be quite damaging
whats the best stategy to apply Ray

Hi Ray,
I hope u don’t mind my below questions but I’m really confused n think u wud definitely be able to guide me thru.
Pls cud u adv me on the fllwg, hopefully on detailed explaination bcos I’m newbie. I’m learning on demo accounts.
1.There are many comments on reference to different time frames before Entry/Exits but I don’t seem to understand/see what I’m supposed to see. Does it mean that I shd refer to D1 if I intend to trade on H4/H1, etc? Does it mean that the reference Time Frame, D1 in this case, must be in the same direction n hv lookalike patterns with H4/H1 before it becomes a more correct time to Enter/Exit?
2.Some times, even on long stretch backtests, the D1 TimeFrame gvs good results on a certain method I am employing. Suddenly results turn out differenly, even negatively, when I test it on current time/data. H’ever I noticed that on H4/H1 timeframes, the same method is still providing the earlier tested positive results. Is there any explaination on why the method still works on lower time frames when it is wavering/disappointing on the higher time frames?
3.Pls cud u teach me a way how I can identify/ decide which time frame to use to go into trades employing methods that had worked? I mean, since the method on tests hv worked previously on D1 n now still working on H4/H1 time frames, I am trying to understand a way to reference the decision to go in for, say, H4 instead of D1, n then discover that the method during this period works on D1 but not well on H4.
Kindly provide yr adv, a million tks.

Hi Ray,

Good that you have a q &a opputunity for us. I have been following you articles and they are good. JUst a few questions.

1. It appears you have a few systems/sites (the ones I know is Trend Range Trading and Market Millions). Which 1 is the best or suitable for me (I would like to day trade the majors and end of day for other crosses)?

2. Do your systems work in all time frame eg 4 Hours or 15min? I used some sort of candlestick techniques to trade 4 hour chart but I find even there is a clear reversal bar, the price tend to reverse during the next trading session (eg from London to New York session).

3. What kind of win/loss ratio we can expect using your systems? (just some ball park would do)

4. What ROI (return on investment) I can expect using your systems? (I am talking about total investment funds not just trading account eg if I have 200k but I put in only 10k to trade, how much ROI I can expect based on 200k)

5. Do your systems work with all currency pairs (or even some other investment like commodities/shares/options)?

6. Is there follow-up/advance course required after the first course?

7. Any special offer / package for a complete set of all your systems?

Look forward to hearing from you soon and thanks a lot for your kind assistance.

Do you use something besides stop losses for protection. These markets at time-especially at the open have such a wide range of price movement that for longer term trades I use a collar which is far out in future months and then in the current month sell an OTM option to try to recapture some of the cost of the collar and provides some protection such as it is. Even in closed end funds I have seen stop running.

Hello,

I would like to know:
For a trader starting out with limited capital and looking for ‘the best bang for the buck’, what markets would you recommend trading?

And, whether Stocks, ETFs, Options, Forex, Futures, indexes, e-minis, etc., under what platform relative to cost/features & applicability, would you use?

Thank you,

Neil J. Coisman
