Tom demark Trendlines

anyone here used TD T'L's? they are over 70% (closer to 90) accurate with breakouts.

using TD TL can profit on all timeframes down to 15M. scalpers and long term traders can profit from this. Also, u might not wait on a break of a TL but can trade its bounce i.e: the price is bouncing inside a triangle drawn by TD TL.

here are the breakout qualifiers:

Upside breakout qualifiers
Qualifier 1: The price bar prior to an upside breakout must be a down close.

Qualifier 2: The current price bar’s open must be greater than both the current TD Supply Line and the
previous price bar’s close and must then trade at least one tick higher.

Qualifier 3: The previous price bar’s close plus the previous bar’s “buying pressure” must be below the current
price bar’s TD Supply Line price level.

Qualifier 4: The current price bar’s open must be above both the previous two price bars’ closes, and the
current price bar’s TD Supply Line must be above the previous price bar’s high.

Downside breakout qualifiers

Qualifier 1: The price bar prior to a downside breakout must be an up close.

Qualifier 2: The current price bar’s open must be less than both the current TD Demand Line and the previous
price bar’s close and must then trade at least one tick lower.

Qualifier 3: The previous price close minus the previous bar’s “selling pressure” must be above the current
price bar’s TD Demand Line price level.

Qualifier 4: The current price bar’s open must be below both the previous two price bars’ closes, and the
current price bar’s TD Demand Line must be below the previous price bar’s low.

Forex Trading Psychology -vs- Forex Trading Method

Did you ever see the movie The Italian Job, and if so do you remember when John Bridger asked: “You see those pillars over there, that’s where they used to string up thieves who felt fine.” Make the transition from paper trading to real money trading and you will feel FINE too – Freaked-out Insecure Neurotic and Emotional. And what a great analogy ‘string up’ is, because after all those months of paper trading winners are replaced with real money losses, that is exactly what you will feel like doing to yourself. The Trading Psychology Viewpoint No discussion about trading, or the consideration to begin trading, can be done without a harsh realization - the vast majority of all traders lose. It is said that the reason that most traders lose is because they are not psychologically prepared to trade, that is they are not prepared to accept financial risk for something of which they have no control over the outcome. Forex Trading is much more of a psychological problem then a methodologica...

Extreme TMA System

The market, like a pendulum, is a never ending sequence of extremes. It forever tries to reach the mean but never succeeds, constantly overshooting it´s mark, reversing and trying it again but always failing to reach balance. This system attempts to capture those extremes. It is a compendium of my understanding of the market, brought to it´s simplest expression. The principles are not complicated. The first indicator, the TMA shows us the average of the path that the price action in the market is following. As such, it is a backward looking indicator and attempts to determine the future from the recent history. It corrects itself by repainting itself. It has two outer bands that show us the outer boundaries of price movement that we are searching for. Our second indicator, the TMA Slope indicator will show us the relative change in the slope of TMA as compared to previous candles. It determines in which direction a trade must be placed and also shows divergences to price. For examp...

What's more important: Trading Method or Trading Psychology?

Ancient argument: What's determines success in trading: A successful methodology  Psychology and discipline?  Answer: BOTH! But this is not a "chicken or egg" dilemma. Clearly in this case method comes before mind. I don't care how much self-discipline you have. If you don't have a viable trading methodology, then you will lose money. So method is more important. Well, maybe "more important" isn't the right phrase to use. But it definitely comes first. The reason I say it may not be more important is because there are many valid trading methodologies available. Yet ironically, traders keep jumping from one method to another ... one indicator after another  one book after another  one mentor after another  one seminar after another  This is the infamous "search for the Holy Grail." Sorry ... doesn't exist. Like most things in life, people keep looking for the answer outside of themselves, w...
