      hi vp sorry for bothering you, im just started watching your video and still learning how to trade. but im always busy with my work so I dont have much time to open a chart in computer. I only trade in my smartphone. so in your opinion is that okay ? I mean, is there a great combination just using the indicator in mt4 ? if the answer is yes I probably gonna test out all the indicator just like you did. hope you will see this and reply. by the way im sorry, my english is not very good.

    When you said "Fibonacci," I nearly jumped out of my chair with glee. I'm dead serious.
    I haven't been trading for long. I started on stocks and had planned to stay there, but some very disruptive life events forced me to put that line of study down. I turned to Forex for a more flexible schedule - and while my money management is already solid (I recognized the ultimate importance of this immediately), I'm still basically just a break-even trader.
    Then I found Fibonacci. I played with it for days trying to figure out how this could possibly work, or if there was really any logical or mathematical basis for its use I concluded that it has to be madness - it feels to me like pseudoscience or "reading the tea leaves." Here, throw some lines over here that have nothing to do with the data we actually have access to and pretend like they actually mean something. Wait what? No!
    Anyway, THANK YOU. :) I hope your series changes my Forex trading for the better - but at very least I feel a bit more sane now :)

    Of course, you should never use Support and Resistance lines to catch the "big reversal" and what not, but one thing that will surely make your algorithm even stronger is by using it to avoid trades! If the price is sitting at the level do not place as banks are getting involved here to mess up your trade!

  • @glenk8680
    @glenk8680 6 років тому +33

    All indicators are based upon mathematics and math has not changed. They take and modify moving averages by a formula, an algorithm...
    Many "newer" indicators are simply variants on the old indicators VP decries...
    Is there really a "new" indicator that modifies moving averages differently than the "classic" indicators? I see newer indicators that display signals differently and modify things in different ways, but at the core, I doubt any of them are really that different than the indicators he decries. You can trace a "new" indicator to an origin from Stochastics, RSI, Moving Averages, MACD, CCI, ADX, Bollinger Bands etc or even a more complex combination.
    The problem with indicators is that market conditions vary from day to day, more trending or more ranging, and indicators cannot adjust to these conditions... Moving averages work better in trending markets, oscillators better in ranging. Mind you I use indicators, and am not that down on them. (Recommend TCCI for MT4.)
    "Trading reversals" is simply trying to catch the beginning of a new trend, but this isn't so easy because of Persistance of Trend. Being a trend trader means you wait until the trend is more solidly established.
    I find it interesting that VP says he has a "Holy Grail" system of indicators that are profitable.

And if you have a real passion about something and have a great heart, you just want to tell everyone for free.

When you've spent countless man-hours to find a consistent way of making money, you're not giving it away no matter what, unless it's for someone you really love.

    people need to realise certain things are set up on forex to make you think and feel a certain way to suck you in, be it chart patterns, even candlesticks like mentioned. for example, if you ever see a head and shoulders pattern it often goes the opposite direction to expected, thats because banks KNOW everyone watches for it so counters this, instead angled head and shoulders patterns are used for the banks which are not noticed by retail traders ..

I do not doubt you are a gifted mentor and appreciate your teachings here. Bear in mind that none of us know everything there is to know about the way the forex market moves. Me especially.

All my positions were left open over night without Stop Loss Orders, lol. Why? Because I was never thought the right way to use it. I was getting random answers from different sources on where to place Stop Loss Orders. I'm like, "I'm better without it." Yikes... I would have been in danger in the long run.

    Just a thought here...Since we're all looking at our charts a bit differently now, I noticed that I am not really concerned about candlesticks much at all...in fact, I've been focused solely on the indicators and their subsequent signals. That being said; I changed the color of the candles to white on white for both bull and bear out of curiosity because, like many of you, I was taught to be mindful of body and wick size and proportion, formations and patterns which guided my decisions. The first thing I noticed was that I no longer felt any emotion with regard to what the candles were doing, only what the indicators were telling me. It helped prevent the urge to close out something prematurely and to let the system do its thing. Novel idea, right? Anyways, it might prove to be a good backtesting variable and allow us to drill down on what makes the algorithm work best without outside influence. Why white? Well, visually, they permitted the indicators to become the focus of the chart...but I supposed "seashell", "ivory" or "pale golden rod" works as well...

    Most custom indicators are built around old, tried and trusted indicators i.e. moving averages and RSI. Personally, I like a combination of the Hull MA, 2 tight MA cross and ATR being my all time favourites. For example:
    1 - 20 SMA, Shift 2 (Red)
    2 - 20 Weighted MA, Shift -2 (Green)
    3 - 26 Hull MA
    4 - ATR period 7
    5 - ADX and/or RSI provides entry confirmation.
    6 - PSAR Step = 0.009 (currently testing for trailing stop)
    (The MA's may require small adjustments for each instrument)
    I do not trade when the market is range bound
    I only trade when at least two bars have closed and the two MA show a clear separation.
    My first TP is 1x ATR, the second T P will follow the trend
    SL = 2X ATR. Once first TP is hit, move the SL to BE
    Works well on H1 and daily TFs
    I have been searching for over four years to find the best strategy that works for me and this it. I welcome your comments.

    • @garrensizer
      @garrensizer 5 років тому

      I recently discovered Hull MA's myself, and they're awesome! 24 and 48 period, are worth looking at. Cross-overs don't mean much with Hull MAs, just the upward/downward direction and angle (rate of change).
      One tip I'd offer for all your settings there is they should be an even multiple or fraction of the next higher timeframe. For instance, a 7 period ATR will include the last 7 bars on your chart. Depending on your broker's server time, you either have 5 or 6 candles per week. Let's assume you have 6 candles per week... If you're looking at 7 bars on a Monday, it will include 2 (small) Sunday bars. But on a Thursday, it will only include 1 Sunday. So you're introducing some unnecessary chop into the ATR line. On the other hand, if you're looking for volatility spikes using the ATR on the H1, you should go with something far less than 24 (perhaps 4, 6, or 8) or you'll end up capturing a whole day's cycle and have a lot of useless lag.
      For your MA's, particularly the Simple MA on the D1 timeframe, try 18 or 24 (4 weeks x 6 bars/week). With a simple MA, that bar dropping off 20 days ago is weighted the same as the one you're adding today, so you want those bars to occur on the same part of the weekly cycle.
      Side note: Hunt down ATR and ADX versions that are true to Welles' Wilder's calculations. MUUUCH more accurate.

  • @garrensizer
    @garrensizer 5 років тому +3

    I have to partially disagree with VP on the ADX... The problem with the built-in MetaTrader 4 ADX indicator is that MetaTrader butchers the calculation of ATR, which is a component of +DI and -DI. In turn, the flawed DI calculations screw up the ADX line. Specifically, all three of the lines are smoothed incorrectly.
    ATR, +/- DI, ADX were all created by Welles J Wilder and are detailed in his book, "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems." You can easily find a free PDF online. We all basically know what the ATR is, or at least what it should be... The +/-DI are measuring the degree of higher highs and lower lows, relative to ATR. So the DI's are actually a pretty good/early indication of a trend formation or reversal, as well as its strength. The ADX line is a composite of the 2 DI lines and measures the overall trend strength. Basically, ADX above 20 to 25 is a good trend. Below 20 is ranging.
    Metatrader 5 has two separate built-in ADX indicators... The Metatrader 4 version, and a Wilder version. I still use MT4, so I took the Wilder version file and converted it to MT4's language. I also tinkered with it to make it ignore the small Sunday candles because they erroneously flatten all the lines (ATR, DI, ADX). I use 10 periods (two full weeks of trade data, excluding Sundays). I consider an instrument to be trending if the ADX is above 20 and increasing, the direction will be obvious but the DI's will confirm it. I use stop orders for entry, to further confirm the trend is continuing in a favorable direction. I tighten my stop when the ADX begins to decline. I use it along with a home-brewed momentum indicator and a derivative of RSI called QQE ADV. When all three agree, it's off to the races.

  • @Kelvinatie
    @Kelvinatie 5 років тому +4

    Well, I can`t agree or disagree completely to these assumptions. I will not say an indicator in itself is either good or bad because there a lots of factors at play here. Market conditions, trading style, personality, indicator mix, time frames etc. Some of these indicators can be used in a more better way than we use them presently (e.g the ATR indicator which is your favorite). That`s where doing our research & homework comes into play. What may work for one might be counter-productive to another. From me own tiny experience Fibonacci has been a good tool. It wasn`t at 1st because of the way I used it but over time i learnt better ways to apply it. I`m still learning notwithstanding. In view of this, i won`t agree or disagree, yet. I will only take my time to explore & experiment your assumptions. What ever works to my expectations I will embrace. But what ever does not work I will trash into to bin. Thanks for the video.

    Out of sheer curiosity, I tested a couple of these on the list with a backtesting set up and from my personal experience, Bollinger Bands have been very successful but not in the way where you trade the “Over Bought” and “Over Sold” because those hardly seem to work most times. If it’s used as a trend indicator, it actually works very well and according to the backtesting results based upon my trading style, it’s consistently profitable with a few bumps here and there. Otherwise I agree with a lot of your videos and the content you share. I believe most indicators can be used unconventionally to be profitable, although some are just straight up bad. I think it’s the approach to these indicators that matter and how the data is utilized to gauge if an asset is worth buying or not
