Williams R

Williams R is an indicator to know saturated area buy and sell currencies from saturated. A price said to be entering the area of saturated buy when movement is rising and have come to the peak area so as not to allow a further increase. In this area, buyers no longer possible to perform a purchase because the currency has been too expensive to be purchased. Thus a currency rising saturated area and enter the purchase in the currency will stop going up and will soon undergo a correction/reduction back to its normal point. 
 
The same is true in saturated concept to sell. The difference here is the selling price means saturated the currencies have been too cheap so that the seller is no longer possible to sell its own currency because the price is too cheap for sale. Thus a currency that is experiencing a decrease in saturated areas and then entered the selling then it is no longer the currency exchange rate will soon stop going down and will again increase. 
 
Saturated Area buy and sell this saturation measured by r. Williams, the trick is to compare the closing time of the last highest price lowest price reduced on the desired period.

Now the next question is where are the saturated area buy and sell according to the saturated R Williams 
If you have ever studied indicators of saturated buy-sell saturated such as RSI, then we think Williams R is not difficult for you to interpret. Williams R reading exactly the same with the RSI. The difference is that Williams R is the range 0 to-100. 
 
When Williams R refer to figures 8 and above (i.e. 0 to-20) is a saturated area buy and vice-versa-80 down (-80 to-100) is a saturated area of selling. The boundary between the two areas (-20 to-80) is the neutral point where prices still have the possibility to rise or fall further. Midpoint Williams R is-50. 
Well, similar to the RSI instead? Now let's look at the following image carefully: 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Having regard to the above image seems more than enough to bring a sense of the use of indicators on this one. It's good you read RSI in advance in order to deepen the use of indicators that are such oscillator Williams R. 
The advantages and disadvantages 
Now we come to the part of the advantages and disadvantages of Williams r. as in other oscillator indicators, Williams R has the same advantages and disadvantages. 
 
Pros: 
<ul>
<li>Ease in reading</li>
<li>Relatively more accurate than the RSI to perfect his creation is indeed due to RSI.</li>
<li>Able to predict price movement faster than an indicator of trend (trend indicator)</li>
</ul>
 
Disadvantages: 
<ul>
<li>Often cause false signals because its too sensitive (marked with a visible indicator of curly curve). For it is advisable to extend the period of Williams R to 20 (default is 2) or add the Moving Average on Williams R.</li>
<li>Williams R has a limited range. Sometimes prices move in a very Bullish conditions or very Bearish. In a State so Williams R can no longer provide the signal Open Buy and Sell because the price moves in one direction in a long range. For it is recommended to use the indicator trend to be tandem Williams R such as MACD or MA.</li>
</ul>
 
It should be noted here that the range of-20 and-80 is not absolute in its use of the range Williams r. some traders use restrictions as-10 and-90 to be saturated and unsaturated bounds buy jualnya same as RSI. 
Well we think enough reviews here to brief about Williams r.

Road to Success 3: Mental Analysis

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguZ3Odxv-rw81kg82be8x-FPqDG-p8L_2EhxweloEZ26LaO62lf68ireJyl01JLRR9SpmtZkWPST-KacXHKfOh1QWL00kzLvYFylRztQtLxJx4l-cips1e1hD1cWtI5cbK3AQurWXcnpUO/s1600/Road+to+success+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Road to success 3" border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguZ3Odxv-rw81kg82be8x-FPqDG-p8L_2EhxweloEZ26LaO62lf68ireJyl01JLRR9SpmtZkWPST-KacXHKfOh1QWL00kzLvYFylRztQtLxJx4l-cips1e1hD1cWtI5cbK3AQurWXcnpUO/s200/Road+to+success+3.jpg" title="Road to success 3" width="200" /></a></div>
If technical analysis works so well, why would more and more of the trading community shift their focus from technical analysis of the market to mental analysis of themselves, meaning their own individual 
trading psychology? To answer this question, you probably don't have to do anything more than ask yourself why you bought this book. The most likely reason is that you're dissatisfied with the difference between what you perceive as the unlimited potential to make money and what you end up with on the bottom line. 
 
That's the problem with technical analysis, if you want to call it a problem. Once you learn to identify patterns and read the market, you find there are limitless opportunities to make money. But, as I'm sure you already know, there can also be a huge gap between what you understand about the markets, and your ability to transform that knowledge into consistent profits or a steadily rising equity curve. Think about the number of times you've looked at a price chart and said to yourself, "Hmmm, it looks like the market is going up (or down, as the case may be)," and what you thought was going to happen actually happened. But you did nothing except watch the market move while you anguished over all the money you could have made. 
 
There's a big difference between predicting that something will happen in the market (and thinking about all the money you could have made) and the reality of actually getting into and out of trades. I call this difference, and others like it, a "psychological gap" that can make trading one of the most difficult  endeavors you could choose to undertake and certainly one of the most mysterious to master. 
 
The big question is: Can trading be mastered? Is it possible to experience trading with the same ease and simplicity implied when you are only watching the market and thinking about success, as opposed to actually having to put on and take off trades? Not only is the answer an unequivocal "yes," but that's also exactly what this book is designed to give you—the insight and understanding you need about yourself and about the nature of trading. 
 
So the result is that actually doing it becomes as easy, simple, and stress-free as when you are just watching the market and thinking about doing it. This may seem like a tall order, and to some of you it may even seem impossible. But it's not. There are people who have mastered the art of trading, who have closed the gap between the possibilities available and their bottom-line performance. But as you might 
expect, these winners are relatively few in number compared with the number of traders who experience varying degrees of frustration, all the way to extreme exasperation, wondering why they can't create 
the consistent success they so desperately desire. In fact, the differences between these two groups of traders (the consistent winners and everyone else) are analogous to the differences between the Earth and the moon. The Earth and moon are both celestial bodies that exist in the same solar system, so they do 
have something in common. But they are as different in nature and characteristics as night and day. By the same token, anyone who puts on a trade can claim to be a trader, but when you compare the characteristics 
of the handful of consistent winners with the characteristics of most other traders, you'll find they're also as different as nightand day. 
 
If going to the moon represents consistent success as a trader, we can say that getting to the moon is possible. The journey is extremely difficult and only a handful of people have made it. From our perspective here on Earth, the moon is usually visible every night and it seems so close that we could just reach out and touch it. Trading successfully feels the same way. On any given day, week, or month, the markets make available vast amounts of money to anyone who has the capacity to put on a trade. Since the markets are in constant motion, this money is also constantly flowing, which makes the possibilities for success greatly magnified and seemingly within your grasp. I use the word "seemingly" to make an important distinction between the two groups of traders. For those who have learned how to be consistent, or have broken through what I call the "threshold of consistency," the money is not only within their grasp; they can virtually take it at will. I'm sure that some will find this statement shocking or 
difficult to believe, but it is true. There are some limitations, but for the most part, money flows into the accounts of these traders with such ease and effortlessness that it literally boggles most people's minds. 
 
However, for the traders who have not evolved into this select group, the word "seemingly" means exactly what it implies. It seems as if the consistency or ultimate success they desire is "at hand," or "within their grasp," just before it slips away or evaporates before their eyes, time and time again. The only thing about trading that is consistent with this group is emotional pain. Yes, they certainly have moments of elation, but it is not an exaggeration to say that most of the time they are in a state of fear, anger, frustration, anxiety, disappointment, betrayal, and regret. 
 
So what separates these two groups of traders? Is it intelligence? Are the consistent winners just plain smarter than everyone else? Do they work harder? Are they better analysts, or do they have access to better trading systems? Do they possess inherent personality characteristics that make it easier for them to deal with the intense pressures of trading? 
 
All of these possibilities sound quite plausible, except when you consider that most of the trading industry's failures are also some of society's brightest and most accomplished people. The largest group of consistent losers is composed primarily of doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists, CEOs, wealthy retirees, and  entrepreneurs. Furthermore, most of the industry's best market analysts are the worst traders imaginable. Intelligence and good market analysis can certainly contribute to success, but they are not the defining factors that separate the consistent winners from everyone else. Well, if it isn't intelligence or better analysis, then what could it be? Having worked with some of the best and some of the worst traders in the business, and having helped some of the worst become some of the best, I can state without a doubt that there are specific reasons why the best traders consistently out-perform everyone else. If I had to distill all of the reasons down to one, I would simply say that the best traders think differently from the rest. 
 
I know that doesn't sound very profound, but it does have profound implications if you consider what it means to think differently. To one degree or another, all of us think differently from everyone else. We may not always be mindful of this fact; it seems natural to assume that other people share our perceptions and interpretations of events. In fact, this assumption continues to seem valid until we find ourselves in a basic, fundamental disagreement with someone about something we both experienced. Other than our physical features, the way we think is what makes us unique, probably even more unique than our physical features do. Let's get back to traders. What is different about die way the best traders think as opposed to how those who are still struggling think? While the markets can be described as an arena of endless 
opportunities, they simultaneously confront the individual with some of the most sustained, adverse psychological conditions you can expose yourself to. At some point, everyone who trades learns something 
about the markets that will indicate when opportunities exist. But learning how to identify an opportunity to buy or sell does not mean that you have learned to think like a trader. 
 
The defining characteristic that separates the consistent winners from everyone else is this: The winners have attained a mind-set—a unique set of attitudes—that allows them to remain disciplined, focused, and, above all, confident in spite of the adverse conditions. As a result, they are no longer susceptible to the common fears and trading errors that plague everyone else. Everyone who trades ends up learning something about the markets; very few people who trade ever learn the attitudes that are absolutely essential to becoming a consistent winner. Just as people can learn to perfect the proper technique 
for swinging a golf club or tennis racket, their consistency, or lack of it, will without a doubt come from their attitude Traders who make it beyond "the threshold of consistency" usually experience a great deal of pain (both emotional and financial) before they acquire the land of attitude that allows them to function effectively in the market environment. 
 
The rare exceptions are usually those who were born into successful trading families or who started their trading careers under the guidance of someone who understood the true nature of trading, and, just as important, knew how to teach it. Why are emotional pain and financial disaster common among traders? The simple answer is that most of us weren't fortunate enough to start our trading careers with the proper guidance. However, the reasons go much deeper than this. I have spent the last seventeen years dissecting the psychological dynamics behind trading so that I could develop effective methods for teaching the principles of success. What I've discovered is that trading is chock full of paradoxes and contradictions in thinking that make it extremely difficult to learn how to be successful. In fact, if I had to choose one word that encapsulates the nature of trading, it would be "paradox."  (According to the dictionary, a paradox is something that seems to have  contradictory qualities or that is contrary to common belief or what generally makes sense to people.) 
 
Financial and emotional disaster are common among traders because many of the perspectives, attitudes, and principles that would otherwise make perfect sense and work quite well in our daily lives have the opposite effect in the trading environment. They just don't work. Not knowing this, most traders start their careers with a fundamental lack of understanding of what it means to be a trader, the skills that are involved, and the depth to which those skills need to be developed. 
 
Here is a prime example of what I am talking about: Trading is inherently risky. To my knowledge, no trade has a guaranteed outcome; therefore, the possibility of being wrong and losing money is always present. So when you put on a trade, can you consider yourself  a risk-taker? Even though this may sound like a trick question, it is not. 
 
The logical answer to the question is, unequivocally, yes. If I engage in an activity that is inherently risky, then I must be a risktaker. This is a perfectly reasonable assumption for any trader to make. In fact, not only do virtually all traders make this assumption, but most traders take pride in thinking of themselves as risk-takers. 
 
The problem is that this assumption couldn't be further from the truth. Of course, any trader is taking a risk when you put on a trade, but that doesn't mean that you are correspondingly accepting that risk. In other words, all trades are risky because the outcomes are probable—not guaranteed. But do most traders really believe they are taking a risk when they put on a trade? Have they really accepted that the trade has a non-guaranteed, probable outcome? Furthermore, have they fully accepted the possible consequences? 
The answer is, unequivocally, no! Most traders have absolutely no concept of what it means to be a risk-taker in the way a successful trader thinks about risk. The best traders not only take the risk, they have also learned to accept and embrace that risk. There is a huge psychological gap between assuming you are a risk-taker because you put on trades and fully accepting the risks inherent in each trade. When you fully accept the risks, it will have profound implications on your bottom-line performance. The best traders can put on a trade without the slightest bit of hesitation or conflict, and just as freely and without hesitation or conflict, 
admit it isn't working. 
 
They can get out of the trade—even with a loss—and doing so doesn't resonate the slightest bit of emotional discomfort. In other words, the risks inherent in trading do not cause the best traders to lose their discipline, focus, or sense of confidence. If you are unable to trade without the slightest bit of emotional dis- comfort (specifically, fear), then you have not learned how to accept the risks inherent in trading. This is a big problem, because to whatever degree you haven't accepted the risk, is the same degree to 
which you will avoid the risk. Trying to avoid something that is unavoidable will have disastrous effects on your ability to trade successfully. Learning to truly accept the risks in any endeavor can be difficult, 
but it is extremely difficult for traders, especially considering what's at stake. What are we generally most afraid of (besides dying or public speaking)? Certainly, losing money and being wrong both 
rank close to the top of the list. Admitting we are wrong and losing money to boot can be extremely painful, and certainly something to avoid. Yet as traders, we are confronted with these two possibilities 
virtually every moment we are in a trade. 
 
Now, you might be saying to yourself, "Apart from the fact that it hurts so much, it's natural to not want to be wrong and lose something; therefore, it's appropriate for me to do whatever I can to avoid it." I agree with you. But it is also this natural tendency that makes trading (which looks like it should be easy) extremely 
difficult. Trading presents us with a fundamental paradox: How do we remain disciplined, focused, and confident in the face of constant uncertainty? When you have learned how to "think" like a trader, that's exactly what you'll be able to do. Learning how to redefine your trading activities in a way that allows you to completely accept the risk is the key to thinking like a successful trader. Learning to accept the risk is a trading skill—the most important skill you can learn. Yet it's rare that developing traders focus any attention or expend any effort to learn it. 
 
When you learn the trading skill of risk acceptance, the market will not be able to generate information that you define or interpret as painful. If the information the market generates doesn't have the potential to cause you emotional pain, there's nothing to avoid. It is just information, telling you what the  possibilities are. This is called an objective perspective—one that is not skewed or distorted by what 
you are afraid is going to happen or not happen. I'm sure there isn't one trader reading this book who hasn't 
gotten into trades too soon—before the market has actually generated a signal, or too late—long after the market has generated a signal. 
 
What trader hasn't convinced himself not to take a loss and, as a result, had it turn into a bigger one; or got out of winning trades too soon; or found himself in winning trades but didn't take any profits at all, and then let the trades turn into losers; or moved stoplosses closer to his entry point, only to get stopped out and have the market go back in his direction? These are but a few of the many errors traders perpetuate upon themselves time and time again. 
 
These are not market-generated errors. That is, these errors do not come from the market. The market is neutral, in the sense that it moves and generates information about itself. Movement and information 
provide each of us with the opportunity to do something, but that's all! The markets don't have any power over the unique way in which each of us perceives and interprets this information, or control of the decisions and actions we take as a result. The errors I already mentioned and many more are strictly the result of what I call "faulty trading attitudes and perspectives." Faulty attitudes that foster fear instead of trust and  confidence. 
 
I don't think I could put the difference between the consistent winners and everyone else more simply than this: The best traders aren't afraid. They aren't afraid because they have developed attitudes that give them the greatest degree of mental flexibility to flow in and out of trades based on what the market is telling them about the possibilities from its perspective. At the same time, the best traders have developed attitudes that prevent them from getting reckless. Everyone else is afraid, to some degree or another. When they're not afraid, they have the tendency to become reckless and to create the kind of experience for themselves that will cause them to be afraid from that point on. 
 
Ninety-five percent of the trading errors you are likely to make—causing the money to just evaporate before your eyes—will stem from your attitudes about being wrong, losing money, missing out, and leaving money on the table. What I call the four primary trading fears. Now, you may be saying to yourself, "I don't know about this: I've always thought traders should have a healthy fear of the markets." Again, this is a perfectly logical and reasonable assumption. But when it comes to trading, your fears will act against you in such a way that you will cause the very thing you are afraid of to actually happen. If you're afraid of being wrong, your fear will act upon your perception of market information in a way that will cause you to do something that ends up making you wrong. When you are fearful, no other possibilities exist. You can't 
perceive other possibilities or act on them properly, even if you did manage to perceive them, because fear is immobilizing. Physically, it causes us to freeze or run. Mentally, it causes us to narrow our focus of attention to the object of our fear. This means that thoughts about other possibilities, as well as other available information from the market, get blocked. You won't think about all the rational things you've learned about the market until you are no longer afraid and the event is over. Then you will think to yourself, "I knew that. 
 
Why didn't I think of it then?" or, "Why couldn't I act on it then?" It's extremely difficult to perceive that the source of these problems is our own inappropriate attitudes. That's what makes fear so insidious. Many of the thinking patterns that adversely affect our trading are a function of the natural ways in which we were brought up to think and see the world. These thinking patterns are so deeply ingrained that it rarely occurs to us that the source of our trading difficulties is internal, derived from our state of mind. Indeed, it seems 
much more natural to see the source of a problem as external, in the market, because it feels like the market is causing our pain, frustration, and dissatisfaction. Obviously these are abstract concepts and certainly not something most traders are going to concern themselves with. Yet understanding the relationship between beliefs, attitudes, and perception is as fundamental to trading as learning how to serve is to tennis, or 
as learning how to swing a club is to golf. Put another way, understanding and controlling your perception of market information is important only to the extent that you want to achieve consistent results. 
 
I say this because there is something else about trading that is as true as the statement I just made: You don't have to know anything about yourself or the markets to put on a winning trade, just as you don't have to know the proper way to swing a tennis racket or golf club in order to hit a good shot from time to time. The first time I played golf, I hit several good shots throughout the game even though I hadn't learned any particular technique; but my score was still over 120 for 18 holes. Obviously, to improve my overall score, I 
needed to learn technique. Of course, the same is true for trading. We need technique to achieve consistency. But what technique? This is truly one of the most perplexing aspects of learning how to trade effectively. If we aren't aware of, or don't understand, how our beliefs and attitudes affect our perception of market information, it will seem as if it is the market's behavior that is causing the lack of consistency. As a result, it would stand to reason that the best way to avoid losses and become consistent would be to learn more about the markets. 
 
This bit of logic is a trap that almost all traders fall into at some point, and it seems to make perfect sense. But this approach doesn't work. The market simply offers too many—often conflicting—variables to consider. Furthermore, there are no limits to the market's behavior. It can do anything at any moment. As a matter of fact, because every person who trades is a market variable, it can be said that any single trader can cause virtually anything to happen. 
 
This means that no matter how much you learn about the market's behavior, no matter how brilliant an analyst you become, you will never learn enough to anticipate every possible way that the market can make you wrong or cause you to lose money. So if you are afraid of being wrong or losing money, it means you will never learn enough to compensate for the negative effects these fears will have on your ability to be objective and your ability to act without hesitation. In other words, you won't be confident in the face of constant uncertainty. The hard, cold reality of trading is that every trade has an uncertain outcome. Unless you learn to completely accept the possibility of an uncertain outcome, you will try either consciously or unconsciously to avoid any possibility you define as painful. In the process, you will subject yourself to any number of self-generated, costly errors. Now, I am not suggesting that we don't need some form of market analysis or methodology to define opportunities and allow us to recognize them; we certainly do. 
 
However, market analysis is not the path to consistent results. It will not solve the trading problems created 
by lack of confidence, lack of discipline, or improper focus. When you operate from the assumption that more or better analysis will create consistency, you will be driven to gather as many market variables as possible into your arsenal of trading tools. But what happens then? You are still disappointed and betrayed by the markets, time and again, because of something you didn't see or give enough consideration to. It will feel like you can't trust the markets; but the reality is, you can't trust yourself. Confidence and fear are contradictory states of mind that both stem from our beliefs and attitudes. To be confident, functioning in 
an environment where you can easily lose more than you intend to risk, requires absolute trust in yourself. 
 
However, you won't be able to achieve that trust until you have trained your mind to override your natural inclination to think in ways that are counterproductive to being a consistently successful trader. Learning how to analyze the market's behavior is simply not the appropriate training. You have two choices: You can try to eliminate risk by learning about as many market variables as possible. Or vou can learn how to redefine your trading activities in such a way that you truly accept the risk, and you're no longer afraid. 
When you've achieved a state of mind where you truly accept the risk, you won't have the potential to define and interpret market information in painful ways. When you eliminate the potential to define market information in painful ways, you also eliminate the tendency to rationalize, hesitate, jump the gun, hope that the market will give you money, or hope that the market will save you from your inability to cut your losses. 
 
As long as you are susceptible to the lands of errors that are the result of rationalizing, justifying, hesitating, hoping, and jumping the gun, you will not be able to trust yourself. If you can't trust yourself to be objective and to always act in your own best interests, achieving consistent results will be next to impossible. Trying to do something that looks so simple may well be the most exasperating thing you will ever attempt to do. The irony is that, when you have the appropriate attitude, when you have acquired a "trader s mind-set" and can remain confident in the face of constant uncertainty, trading will be as easy and simple as you probably thought it was when you first started out. 
 
So, what is the solution? You will need to learn how to adjust your attitudes and beliefs about trading in such a way that you can trade without the slightest bit of fear, but at the same time keep a framework in place that does not allow you to become reckless. That's exactly what this book is designed to teach you. 
As you move ahead, I would like you to keep something in mind. The successful trader that you want to become is a future projection of yourself that you have to grow into. Growth implies expansion, 
learning, and creating a new way of expressing yourself. This is true even if you're already a successful trader and are reading this book to become more successful. Many of the new ways in which you will learn 
to express yourself will be in direct conflict with ideas and beliefs you presently hold about the nature of trading. You may or may not already be aware of some of these beliefs. In any case, what you currently hold to be true about the nature of trading will argue to keep things just the way they are, in spite of your frustrations and unsatisfying results. 
 
These internal arguments are natural. My challenge in this book is to help you resolve these arguments as efficiently as possible. Your willingness to consider that other possibilities exist—possibilities that you may not be aware of or may not have given enough consideration to—will obviously make the learning process faster and easier.

 Technical analysis has been around for as long as there have been organized markets in the form of exchanges. But the trading community didn't accept technical analysis as a viable tool for making 
money until the late 1970s or early 1980s. Here's what the technical analyst knew that it took the mainstream market community generations to catch on to.  A finite number of traders participate in the markets on any given day, week, or month. Many of these traders do the same lands of things over and over in their attempt to make money. In other words, individuals develop behavior patterns, and a group of individuals, interacting with one another on a consistent basis, form collective behavior patterns. These behavior patterns are observable and quantifiable, and they repeat themselves with statistical reliability. 
 
Technical analysis is a method that organizes this collective behavior into identifiable patterns that can give a clear indication of when there is a greater probability of one thing happening over another. In a sense, technical analysis allows you to get into the mind of the market to anticipate what's likely to happen next, based on the kind of patterns the market generated at some previous moment. As a method for projecting future price movement, technical analysis has turned out to be far superior to a purely fundamental approach. It keeps the trader focused on what the market is doing now in relation to what it has done in the past, instead of focusing on what the market should be doing based solely on what is logical and reasonable as determined by a mathematical model. On the other hand, fundamental analysis creates what I call a "reality gap" between "what should be" and "what is." The reality gap makes it extremely difficult to make anything but very long-term predictions that can be difficult to exploit, even if they are correct. 
 
In contrast, technical analysis not only closes this reality gap, but also makes available to the trader a virtually unlimited number of possibilities to take advantage of. The technical approach opens up 
many more possibilities because it identifies how the same repeatable behavior patterns occur in every time frame—moment-tomoment, daily, weekly, yearly, and every time span in between. In 
other words, technical analysis turns the market into an endless stream of opportunities to enrich oneself.

Who remembers when fundamental analysis was considered the only real or proper way to make trading decisions? When I started trading in 1978, technical analysis was used by only a handful of traders, who 
were considered by the rest of the market community to be, at the very least, crazy. As difficult as it is to believe now, it wasn't very long ago when Wall Street and most of the major funds and financial institutions 
thought that technical analysis was some form of mystical hocus-pocus. 
 
Now, of course, just the opposite is true. Almost all experienced traders use some form of technical analysis to help them formulate their trading strategies. Except for some small, isolated pockets in the 
academic community, the "purely" fundamental analyst is virtually  extinct. What caused this dramatic shift in perspective? I'm sure it's no surprise to anyone that the answer to this question is very simple: Money! 
 
The problem with making trading decisions from a strictly fundamental perspective is the inherent difficulty 
of making money consistently using this approach. For those of you who may not be familiar with fundamental analysis, let me explain. Fundamental analysis attempts to take into consideration all the variables that could affect the relative balance or imbalance between the supply of and the possible demand for any particular stock, commodity, or financial instrument. Using primarily mathematical models that weigh the significance of a variety of factors (interest rates, balance sheets, weather patterns, and numerous others), the analyst projects what the price should be at some point in the future. 
 
The problem with these models is that they rarely, if ever, factor in other traders as variables. People, expressing their beliefs and expectations about the future, make prices move—not models. The fact that a model makes a logical and reasonable projection based on all the relevant variables is not of much value if the traders who are responsible for most of the trading volume are not aware of the model or don't believe in it. As a matter of fact, many traders, especially those on the floors of the futures exchanges who have the ability to move prices very dramatically in one direction or the other, usually don't have the slightest concept of the fundamental supply and demand factors that are supposed to affect prices. 
 
Furthermore, at any given moment, much of their trading activity is prompted by a response to emotional factors that are completely outside the parameters of the fundamental model. In other words, the people who trade (and consequently move prices) don't always act in a rational manner. Ultimately, the fundamental analyst could find that a prediction about where prices should be at some point in the future is correct. But in the meantime, price movement could be so volatile that it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to stay in a trade in order to realize the objective.

What Is Scalping

Scalping comes from the United Kingdom (scalp) which means it was fleas jump. Well with this type of scalping trading is indeed more or less adhered to this doctrine. Without downgrading the Scalper intends world, they often take advantage of the situation a very small price movements. For them, profits 10-15 points a day is already quite important is the stbilitity. The intent of this by taking advantage of that, as small as the Scalper holds that it is a lot easier than chasing gains 100 points in a single trading. Often they also take the number of lots that are a lot more for one opening position compared to most traders. With a capital of $ 3000 if the Scalper can open the position up to 5 times! What if there is a margin call? Well point margin call it for them is their Stop Loss point! But rather when profit by 10 points they earn, just imagine 10 x 5 = 50 lots. But this time it's a lot easier because only targeted 10 points only. Not to mention due to only target profit 10 points, they can open a position many times to tens of times a day. Hmm ... how active they are! For a scalper, spread extremely important role for them. The scalper often look for brokers with a very small spread. The smaller will be the better because of their 1-2 points difference alone is very important. That's why they used to trade on a foreign broker. Advantages of trading with a model like this is easy it is We get the profit that we pursue. The movement of 10 points is even when the market is being very-very quiet and exchanges of London and New York are closed! The liveliness of our opening position is also certainly a lot bigger. The included capital also need not be large at all. $ 3000 was more than enough. Even the $ 1000 was not the problem. Well that's what yg is scalping, certainly in customize with each trader's style and origin of profit closed all shutdown pc/laptop keeps refresing .... hehehehe Keep smiley with forex plus...

Indicators used: 
<ol>
<li>EMA 50 on chart</li>
<li>EMA 120 on cart</li>
<li>Hist_Step_MA_Stoch_KV1_Ex_03 set at 2000 bars. Set Filters on Step: +0,04 and -0,04</li>
<li>Hist_StepMA_Stoch is the main indicator here. When Hist_Step_MA_Stoch and A Nina give signal simultaneously, the better. Do not trade if they give opposite signals.</li>
</ol>
 TF: 30 minutes.  Trade time: 08:00 to 18:00t  
<ol>
<li>FiboPiv_v2 </li>
<li>MAX Movin Average set at 50, 14, 2000, 2 </li>
<li>SDX-TZBreakout </li>
<li>Camarilladt7 with L3, L4, L5 and H3, H4 and H5. </li>
</ol>
 Standard or Level 1 signals 
<ul>
<li>Buy when price crosses EMA 50 and new bar opens above. Hist_StepMA_Stoch must be green.</li>
<li>Sell when price crosses EMA 50 and new bar opens below. Hist_StepMA_Stoch must be red. If price and Hist_StepMA_Stoch crosses are simultaneous, the better.  </li>
</ul>
Level 2 signals (riskier): For instance, when price is above EMA 50 with Hist_StepMA_Stoch in green. Price then opens one bar at least below EMA 50 and Hist_StepMA_Stoch keeps in green mode. When price opens again above EMA 50 with Hist_StepMA_Stoch validating (green), we can buy. The opposite for a sell.   Level 3 signals (riskier):  For instance, we are in bullish mode: price above EMA 50 and Hist_StepMA_Stoch in green. Suddenly, price goes down crossing or without crossing EMA 50 and obviously without opening below it. Hist_StepMA_Stoch changes to red. We buy when price goes up again always validated by Hist_StepMA_Stoch that should change to green again.  Level 4 signals (Take care): Level 4 is when price, after a consolidation of a few bars, breaks through the last high or low. The main thing we need is an indication of strength, and if we don't get it, it could be a trap!  Obviously, the breakout down should have Hist_StepMa_Stoch in red and green for the opposite.  Something to take into account:  Pairs to trade: EURUSD, USDCHF and GBPUSD.   When bar opens more than 20 pips above/below EMA 50, the signal is riskier.  Do not buy/sell, for instance, EURUSD because GBPUSD has a signal. Wait for the signal to come in each pair you want to trade. Look at EURGBP, USDCHF and US Dollar Index always.  FOCUS, PATIENCE AND DISCIPLINE.  Graphics:

"Do not repeat the tactics that have earned You a victory, but let your method governed by variations in a State without limits." (Sun Tzu) Over the long-term, the market conditions changed. A system that worked in the past may not be relevant in the new market conditions. You have to review and fine tune the system when market conditions change. You will know when you realize you have more losses than usual even though you are complying with the rules of the system with strict. Trading opportunity when it comes, you have to have a set of predetermined rules or system to help you evaluate potential trading (measures). Second, you must know your position size to buy true/lot number (quantity) is based on the size of your capital. Third, you must determine the cut loss and profit taking price and calculate the risk reward ratio to ensure a minimum of 2 times the risk reward you. Fourth, you should know what is the probability of winning using your system in current market conditions. Lastly, trade and wait for the market to decide if you are right in the elections caused profit. "A clever, avoiding the sharp spiritual, but soon attacked him when spiritual is being sluggish and tends to return. This is the art of studying moods. "(Sun Tzu) The central idea of trading is range in reading the mood of the market. Price action and volume indicators, are signs for traders to see the mood of the market and the behavior of investors. You will trade well when you can interpret the mood. "This is a military axiom not to go up against the enemy, or to oppose him when he came to decline." (Sun Tzu) The key to trading not to fight the trend. When the market is trending up, looking for opportunities for long and not short. Similarly, if the market trend to decline, look for opportunities to short and not long. 
 "General forward without envy the fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for its sovereignty, is the jewel of the Kingdom." (Sun Tzu) Traders should win in the market rather than to prove and show off that she's right, but for profit. When he is wrong, he must cut loss without feeling disgrace. Only by having this mentality, he can do the best trading in his account. IN TERMS OF WINS IN THE MARKET "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself, but do not know the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle "(Sun Tzu) This is a common phrase cited. In trading, it is true that you need to know yourself. This includes an understanding of psychology you are and how You behave or react to profits and losses. The enemy in this case is the market. You need to understand the market before you make any investment. You need to take the time to understand the market, make sure to have the advantage over the rest of the investors. With a good understanding, you can design and use the system to take advantage of market movements. In addition, you will be able to apply the right tactics to beat the market. If you do not understand the market and you do not understand yourself, chances are you will end up in the loss. "To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself." (Sun Tzu) As a trader, you need to protect your trading capital and abide by your trading system for entry and exit. After you make sure you have done your part, the amount of profit or loss is to be determined by the market. You do not have the right to request any amount of profit from the market. Even if you follow all the rules strictly, perhaps you can loss but you have to accept it and move on. "What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only WINS, but excels in winning with ease. He won the battle with strives to no errors. Make no mistake is what builds the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated. Hence the skillful fighter puts himself into a position which makes defeat impossible, and does not miss the moment for defeating the enemy. " (Sun Tzu) For trading correct is to follow the system or set of rules. Making a mistake means traders do not comply with system or rule when trading. Traders don't follow the rules because he was influenced by his emotions, which in turn affected by the news, recommendations, and comments from others. To win in the market, the trader must strive not to make mistakes, that is, he should be able to do without trading anyone influencing her decision making. This is especially true when there is a chance the cut loss. A trader who failed to cut loss did a big mistake. Because one mistake can wipe out profits and capital. It is very important to position themselves in the market by working without making a mistake. "The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive them, not on the chance they were not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have been making unwavering positions." (Sun Tzu) As discussed previously, a trader must make intricate to put himself in a position such that it has a higher probability to win in the market. You don't have to have the mentality of conquering the market. Benefits are determined by the market and You can't force it.

Sun Tzu Strategy

Until this time the world recognizes the mysterious Sun Tzu as the Supreme teacher of the art of war. Sun Tzu is known to be born on 535 BC in the city of Tung's Shantung peninsula ."A General who protect the soldiers as a baby, will guide them into the deepest abyss. A General who treat the soldiers like his beloved siblings, will make them willing to die for him".

 The spirit and the art of war Sun Tzu style if applied in forex trading will result in a tremendous way of trading. As a ilustratasi in the use of strategy Sun Tzu, General as you, fighting as trading, troops as capital/your money. IN TERMS OF UNDERSTANDING THE MARKET 1. "We are not fit to lead an army on the March unless we are familiar with the face of his country-the mountains and forests, cliffs and traps as well as swamps." (Sun Tzu). Like what Warren Buffett puts it, "the risk of not knowing what you are doing. If you do not understand the market, you are not fit to invest in it. You will get your capital (your army) was wiped out " 2. "He who knows all this, and in fighting puts his knowledge into practice, will win the battle." (Sun Tzu). Not good enough if we only know the theories and concepts behind the investment. A trader should be able to apply that knowledge correctly to gain profit from the market. IN TERMS OF PSYCHOLOGY TRADER "A general, who was unable to control his annoyance, will launch his men to attack like ants swarming, resulted in one third of his men died, while the city was still uncontrollably. Such is the ill effects of the siege. " (Sun Tzu) Don't be emotionally affected by the market or harm. If traders are too eager to profit or revenge losses, traders can lose sanity and become irrational. The decisions are likely to be challenged and ended up with a loss. Such is the ill effects of impulsive trading "There are five dangerous faults which may affect a General: 
<ol>
<li>faux pas, that leads to destruction,</li>
<li>the coward, which leads to being caught,</li>
<li>the hasty temperament, which can be triggered by contempt,</li>
<li>the enjoyment of honor which is sensitive to shame,</li>
<li>over-attention on the troops, who took him on concerns and issues.</li>
</ol>
 Psychology is the key to the trader. If he can't control his emotions and his character, he will lose money in the market. If he's sloppy, he will make a desperate trading without taking into account the opportunities to win. If he is a coward, he never could win big enough to cover its losses. If he has a temperament that is hasty, he will try to take revenge on the market end up with bigger losses. If she prides itself on when he wins, he will be calm when he lost and he'll never learn from my mistakes. If he is over attention on the loss, he would always worry about and have never been able to make deals more with better. IN TERMS OF MANAGEMENT OF MONEY "Control of large armies/settings is the same principle as control over some people, it is  about the Division of their numbers."

So when the final transaction of profit, the profit can already cover all losses from previous transactions. 
 
<div class="force_dir">
Techniques of martingale is simple, for example:</div>
<div class="force_dir">
-First, pairs of 1 lot and lost</div>
<div class="force_dir">
-Secondly, attach the 2 lots (2 times before) and lost</div>
<div class="force_dir">
-Third, plug the 4 lots and lost</div>
<div class="force_dir">
-Fourth, 8 pairs lot finally win</div>

BUY Lot 2 =-$ 20 (loss)</div>
<div class="force_dir">
BUY Lot 3 =-$ 40 (loss)</div>

----------------------------------- +</div>
<div class="force_dir">
Profit = + $ 10</div>
<div class="force_dir">
</div>
