Had a great day yesterday, most profitable in the last two weeks. Trading without a physical stop loss is a great advantage in range trading. (Also in trend trading). Yesterday 1.4200 was like a magnet. I just went short when price was above and long when price was below.
Looks like folks here are trading the range with good success. Cheers Ray

yes, censorship, here is very strict.
But if public servants , strangles the masses too much, then I guess they face the music eventually. Here their bosses are still elected by votes.

LOL thanks for trying to help.

What are the main differences in your approach to trading indexes?
Does MO and MM stay the same? How do you handle the time limitations of exchange session (hard to make protracted rescue campaign) and do you ever leave scout or part of position overnight?
Hi Ronin,
Basically, the main difference between structured markets and OTC is that OTC prices can go over your bids or offers without filling you first. In structured markets, such infractions cannot happen.
The other is brokerage. As fees are levied on order-filling(ie exchange fees) and clearing fees,and bid and offer spreads, so makes it more expensive to strategise trades.
To defary the disadvantage of bro, one should join as members to exchange as locals, where the cost of tading and positions cost goes down tremendously.

However the trade MO and MM and mindset is the same. If you do not carry positions after exchange closes, then you will not be exposed to unforeseen events risk.

If one wants to carry overnights , it would be more advisable to trade the underlying instead of the derivatives.

In trading derivatives, I never hold overnights and I trade always as exchange member.

I hope this helps

LOL, strict as the censorship is , I am able to view the clip.

Govt politics is a very complex subject, way beyond my capacity to understand lest comment on. One thing I know is that there is no perfect govt and that a bad govt is better than no govt. So long as the masses have a say by their votes, I guess absolute abuse of position is in check always.

I believe, the youtube thingy is probably sit in the confines of youtube policies,and if they insist to carry some that may incovenience the users , thats their call, and they will be face whatever music thats due them.

May be just my view, but even considered"good"governments allows much controversial policies to be enacted. for instance , how fair is the copyright and intellectual property rights laws. I feel there is too much lean towards commercial protection than consumer protection. But who checks that the abuse of commercial rights had not outweighted consumer rights? Who champions the consumers? How much royalties are paid for the use of the invention of gunpower for instance. And the trees , who's has the interllectual copyrights for its use?......I can go on until the cows comes home, but at the end of the day , we live with whatever abuses we can stomach and run if we cannot. Life's just never fair.

Hi ALL,
Just to sound, the daily Euro/USD is outside day key reversal.
so be on a lookout for USD BULL stempede.
I sounded, the rest is in your courts.

Today is Friday, so can be fast and swift.
Moreover if reversal looks good, there much bull usd days ahead.

Good Fortune.

Hi ALL,

I am sitting listening to my music, and doing housekeeping on some of the computers over the weekend. And had been walking the memory lanes again. Mostly I am smiling, while going thru the "Technical Analysis Fallacy Yearbook, 25 November 2007 - 25 November 2008", that DutchAngel so painstaking made for me. Thanks DutchAngel, you are so kind.

There is within the book, a cd movie of many of the faces of the people here then. So much work was put in to make that nice clip of your photographs, and I don't even know how many of you have a copy of the yearbook. All the hard work would surely go to waste, if only I alone was privy to it. So I was thinking that with the permission of DutchAngel and the people on the clip( I hope you know who you are), I would like to post it on Youtube, ( or somewhere), that all may share the beautiful clip.

So what do you say?
Unless I get a unanimous on this suggestion, that nice clip may forever be in my confines.

regards

the people involved are

DutchAngel
MaMood
mijamoto
Skinner
Lusan
Zoran
piccolo
hpr
maheswara
seeit
Northpro
textor
zerosum
indianguyinny24 ( good foto of Manhattan)
hcong168 ( good foto of the beach)
joypips
auxesis
juso
Islandorange
piksy
M-H trader (good foto of cactus)
Jest1081 (please invest in some lighting)
(Tigerlily) lol
sevic ( nice brunei mosque foto)
lilpip
and no votes from Brainspan,Heli-Ben,Chet,King Henry.....required as they already celebrities status.


And any thoughts of how this may be expanded, as this family of traders grew.

Didn't you teach...
Hi Joy,
Thank You for you kind words.
Most of your profitability is grounded , on your willingness to understand and learn and think for yourself, I just provide some info to help.

Anyways, since every one on the yearbook has a copy, therefore there is no reason to post it. If anyone wants to show who they are, there is the avatar on FF, to post their faces.

Of course, if there is any kind group of people here, would like to do the next yearbook for Nov 2009, it would be nice to see some of the new faces, and I can take a ride on my lanes to see who had benefited from the works.

More pips , Joy, trade well.
regards

Hi imjscn,

It is truely, a security minefield to publish such.
If you may like to be part of the next year book, surely , you will be printed as part of this growing family of traders.

So for now, my idea of publishing it,I stand it down.
And no opinions or votes is required. This is final in my mind.

But if any members here would like to be forthright to show me who they are, can post your pictures in your avatar. I would be much happy to know you as a person, who had benefited, and even we may develop a nice traders friendship. Who knows maybe play cupid for some of you who are single, but you know my opinion of traders couples. But what do I know about that subject, very little.

Thanks for the curiosity, imjscn, you have many friend here, so band with those that are close to you.

regards

Hi ALL,

Further to the question Zoran asked about the charts.
What I discovered in my test , was that not all MT4 charts are equal.

In my quest, althought I didn't get the chance to try all brokers.I found one little known broker's chart feed rather useful and accurate for my use. They are known as ITFX Trader MT4. I thought they were out of Italy, but maybe London...??

Hi ALL,

Early bird catches early worm.
Early worm make good breakfast for early bird.

I like to see who amongst you had gone pro?
Probably dealing is too tough a life-style for you? huh
making $$ the hard way?
Then sure you can second guess your Technical charts and make a long term punt. Any fool can do that.

Hi MaMood,
I am speeking from my bias, and positions.

Look at the Euro chart. she informed the market twice, where she wants to go. And a lady won't keep telling you , unless she is determined to go for reasons only known to herself.

if you are dancing the markets you would had seen and felt her direction , she is saying very clearly. moreover this the begining of the big usd bull. If you cannot see it. how to tell you , the obvious.

Trade well.

Hi MaMood,
Impatience and Lost of focus and decication are begining signs of downfalls.

Beware i can only say, I can bring the horse to the eaters, whether to drink, it depends on the horse.

Hi ,
I cannot tell which period he is taking about. There are many many such incidents in the market place.Too many to remember. Sounds no different from the nic leeson story.

Delta hedging is a exposure resolve on positions. in fact no one is completely delta neutral at any given time, except when markets are closed or not trading.The real minefield depends on the traders sigma speed. High sigmas in exceptional volitiltiy is a killer.But there are much strategies to manage that. As synthetic strategies are long swords, short term market volitility should not impact its managing, otherwise the strategies that were used are not best practices. In lay terms, his strategies has risk/rewards ratios to extreme unbalance. probably too much bias and speculation to the model.

Hi gEfx, I don't know whats happening to you, maybe some self examination would suffice.

But for me I am having cart loads after cart loads of pips coming in. some are still on their way.

Hi mahes,

If there is a problem, take a break.
Check MM, check mindset. Likely problem is MM.
Clear the mind, relax and reboot.

Don't let it get messy, my friend.

Ah retracement begins...............long way.

a little bird told me...........

" Nikkei open strong, up0.4% after yestreday's global equities fall. This triggered EURJPY demand. Traders suspect there will be eurjpy demand for the tokyo fix today. players will watch Shanghai stocks for hints. Exporter's orders expected later in Asian hours to cap upside."

synopsis
the market will be looking to buy euros in early morning trade. However expectaions of exporter selling of yen is expected to cap that rise in later tokyo.

What's good for the gander is good for the goose.

The little blue magic, hey its bi.
what a wonderful world.

Ok ,a little education.
How do you know your broker is not bucketing your trades?
When he allows you to access the market.
when he allows you to place orders inside the price spreads. Otherwise he aloows you market access only thru his price. then he market makes to you, your only market accesss.Understand?

I found an online retail broker that does that for mini tickets, now will be testing him out.

If that dealer would come to my window QUICKLY, I can show him what a LONG STICK is like. It will surely ease his short squeeze problem quickly. for him 14015 choice

I wonder , what s the criteria for promotion to senior dealer these days. Should learn to deal with prices instead of lipping. If this was junior dealer, I may understand. Looks like some banks may fold again.

Sharks, "squeezed" win on fig.

Opening hedges, bring it to me.

No problem my friend, in markets there are no friend neither enemies, only interest.
The enemy mostly resides inside of ourselves.
I am glad you managed collect some pips.

Seems you may have a good chance to join into the flow of this river. Mostly trade nimbly. Thats how I beat the rally, using her strength to buy collect profits to shore off the structural shorts as well as using spot cross legs to defrayshort impulse. It is impossible to swim against the flow. And this one seems a waterfall.
Also control anger and Egor.

Trade well

Should be near tops , if the hourly picture of cable is accurate. reserving bullets for attack , is more prudent.

wished they would congest more, could make more money in the congestion than on runs.like today.

For me today was good day, caught both the run money and congestion money. Sure couldn't ask for more, only what ever she would give.

Hi ALL,
overslept.

So our non Japanese "friend" in Tokyo. Plays Long side.
Every report I read sound so bearish USD today.
Why haven't we broken 14200 yet? What want to sucker me to be long Eur, so that she can screw me.

Now I know why,
Any one here remember, one,non jap name in tokyo, what you migt call it, Goldsucker, man advised customers and family to buy Euros, big time. Guess what his donkey looks like this week. Too Big and too high.

Better watch it mule. There was an incident in japan , some years back, when a japanese investor , after losing money on bad advice, took his katana out to aquaint it with his brokers. I feel for you, kaijin.

Thanks auxesis, Mahes, you owe him 2cts.

That was interestingly funny.

Just to add, my thoughts, I came to teach some in the thread that you may not lose your money, because of the lack of knowledge, and now I have to deal with people complaining that they don't make enough. As far as i am concerned , the highways to wealth is your own journey, You use your minds and make it happen. My task to to help the little people not to be scalped to death by the markets. Is hard a task to improve people who are already outperforming most FUNDS managers out there. I believe , there's a whole lump of them um out there still grappling with negative books.

1 thing , I would like to ask you Mahes, is , did I ever advised you to run two books concurrently?

no sir , u never advised the two books thing ...

thank you sir
Hi mahes,
Like I said before, moving up levels of risk exposure is not an easy task, as the mindset comes into play , big time.
The transition must be slow and comfortably increased as the mind settles from the escalation. Once unease sets in cut back quickly. Once disorientation comes into play, then all scorpions are released simultaneously. Go slower, that will make the difference.

Just for example and some bragging. I will easily take the head off a chicken and drain it of all its blood for camp cooking. For one who had been getting thie chicken from the super, it may be a mind explosion to do it. Its all mindset, my friend. I hope you understand.

Ok. I think you , understand. Go back to when you were comfortable and performing. Find the old feel, and dance her. Back to Basics.

Today is the beginning of a new book., for you . The past is gone. Today you start again unencumbered. Remember the little monk story? drop the baggage, find yourself again.

What shitty dance.
I deal Eur 14100/14300.
wake me up if you want to deal.

If I do't wake up, you can go to money changer, Maybe they deal better than banks.

and they want 2 pips spread, this mkt even choice price., no one deals.

cable is firm due to like you mentioned last week, that they expect Uk rates higher before Ben"s.

let her breath, find support and snipe her again.
I am skinning this cat good. She tried to hide behind figs.
Something is happening at the background, just that we are not privy yet.
I am surprised that CBs not in sight.

remember scouts can risk, if gets too hairy, make more scouts and space them out. Don't risk army unless much scouts out. Play high volitility strategies.


but remember to snipe lop areas.

If cable comes into sight and Euro doesn't then when cable run, just pump Euro as well, but watch the size.

Unfortunately I flipped 2 times before she ran, So my pips a little diluted but I rammed high skews, so am still happy.
waiting for support, and not chasing, having some snacks now.

This is getting very scary, as very high.
Good game as gets my heart racing again.
got to strategise well, it will get very tricky, be alert, and try not to be piggish.

Chances if retracement canot come, we will drift sideways for eternity and sunddenly run again, so be prepared for variances.

relax, no need to rush, slow and steady does it.
you know you already got what it takes.
Take it in strades. stay

The markets are letargic, she's mostly like that , the calm before the storm , thingy. Only the most determined suitors gets it.

tip: crystal ball say should see 14700 before 14200
if even remotely possible. but of course, CB intervention, thats another kettle of fish.

It is fact, the USD will be defended.

And I think even the currencies CBs are defending the USD.

I bet there are lots of people who got sucked in to the initial jump north on the euro, and are really hurting now. I have to admit to being tempted to go south at 1.4292, but discipline kicked in and I went for a run. Important to stick to your strategy and...

Hi btr5596,
Sorry, to say , but this is BIG time novice Futures Gambler, gambling with others money. Nothing Pro about how he trades.The pros were making the market for him thru his brokers

Maybe there may be a clip about the real Pros one day.

I ended up hedged 1.4050- 4430 for the long sword as I stood aside during nfp and was busy with other things throughout the day I was not sure what to do and quite frankly I still don't after that strong move down from 4445.
Will see what the week brings.
Looks to me , like you may be heading for a lot of trouble, if you keep thinking like this. Sure , its nice to know the landscape of your dance floor. But with volatility as we had seen, anything is possible. Hope those views you have , do not freeze you when the music begins.

yes , seems he was. I don't like traders who have no finnese in their language,( he's not on a trading floor), it just shows his class, their egor will take them down mostly. And If you asked me he's a little sugar high.

If he called me for a price and spoke like that, He'll be speaking to the dailing tone. probably thats why he needs his brokers.

Hi 012,
I don't know who you are or what you need the clarification for. And your profile doesn't say much.

I know who he is. What I mentioned is my opinion of his style. I don't know his Mo, generally from what I understand he uses investor methodology and size manipulation. I also had seen the methodology of the Quantum boys, You may like to talk to top Cat. It each their own.

If you have high regards to that style then there is little I can offer you here. Its world's apart. Maybe , you may be wasting your time here.

Oh 012, sorry didn't realised that. Thought some new sign up trying to stir.

In fact you are right, not really novice as in info and info resources. ( he has his own economist, whether he listens , is another matter.) His style is all muscle and lots of deception. Gets pretty dangerous, stuff rogue traders are made of. he's not making daily living . He hunts once in a blue moon and eats through the dry seasons. A few dry seasons and may starve. Not to bang all investor type traders, but its easier, with OPM.

Just different worlds. Investor MO and Pro MO.

Well, my friend don't think, little of your performance today .
There's hords of people out there may give a leg and an arm just to be flat today.

I do agree its surely a weird day. Expected much higher volatility, but then I am prepared for her variances. Is an ok day, and still waiting for some pip carts to finish the day. Nice south move, wonder who's controlling the dance.

have a better tomorrow.

Hi All,
Hope you had agood trading day as mine.

I am sorry, didn;t post much, as heard a lot of bad things happening in the background, of many people here , after learning some dancing , trying to cheat others of fees to learn something thats freely given.
I am so sad, about this, as apparently the group of people are the people I thought were able to survive and live off these skills for life.
its a bad day on this God forsaken earth for me.

For those honest and upstanding peopel still here. I hope you will band together, and carry the faith.

regards

Hi All,
Please don't take things the wrong way. I will not abandon good honourable people because of some bad apples.

Was just expressing my sadness, to the thought of some of you had lost good money to the lurking snakes, because of their own gullibility. However for them , it is a lesson to remember. But it nothing unrecoverable if they put the effort to learn that which had been given. I was sad to feel the pain that God and Jesus probably felt when trying to save the sheeps of his creation. And that the decision to alienate us from heaven was not wrong although painful.

We are so much satan and so little God. That its so sad that we were from God.

on the trading front i had been having a good field day , since Tokyo opening, and the victories mute the tiredness.

I shall be watching the fomc soon to get an insight of things to come and grab a few carts of pips as well.

The MO for the fomc is similar for all important figs field MO. Aim well and move quickly, and most important know you position in the MM.

Good hunting , to all good hearts. And thank you for your empathy , my friends.

Jesus my pillar, and rock of refuge.

regards

Hi auxesis,
So much info to content with, thanks.

I much rather stay with flow, and let the market, she absorbs the conditions and create the dance.

Will be careful with over exposure though. Safer on the easy skews.

Good Fortune to all

My bias for the week is up from 1.4182, the area shes in, otherwise Im going the other way.
1.4438
1.4182
1.3998
1.3734
So much for the weeks review and trend, I need to look at the daily and prepare for sun.
Hi lilpip,
Don't let the analysis get in the way.
The variance possibilities may baffle you.
Even I cannot see 5 mins ahead of me in this climate.

Keep the faith, dance the song.
She choses the music and not you.
You chose only your strategies to meet the music.

much carts of pips for you, I hope.

regards

Hi auxesis,

Yeap, much BS all over , can't see much as behind the veils.
But one thing is for sure, the music quickens. Most important, is the carts of pips are coming in for me.

Some people takes their own sweet time to render markets excess. If they want me to wait, so they can wait .
For now back to spot retail interbanks, also testing out one online broker who promised unprecedented market access for me. We shall see.

Dance well , my friend, its gonna be the longest day again this Monday.

Hi mahes,

you have mindset fixed?
Go to low skews. Fight tooth and nails.
Keep your head down and follow the flow.
There's nothing out there thats gonna show you the play.
Its a big fog of deceptions.

No friends no foe, just flow.

Good Fortune.

regards

So I hope this question is not too basic and you are not fed up with the same old questions?
Q.
Once a scout has been established into the perceived trend - and if then the market immediately turns the opposite direction - do you have a set amount of movement/pips that you will allow the market to move before entering the rescue - and then a point of no return?
I understand...
Hi gdb,
I noticed you are very new here.
Actually I am done on the presentation,but since you are having problems ,For you, once again.
Understand AOW very clearly, try to think about whats been said, and think deep.
Basically the function of the scout is to determine flow.if you were in the scenario that you put forth, then it would be clear that if the movement violated the basic trend deteminant, then you would be against flow, if such was the case , all it takes is for impulse to resume and it would be fool hardy to even attempt rescue.
If such flow was retrace, therefore miss timing, then a skewed rescue may just save the book.
Your strategies and response should be dynamic and in response to flow more than any rigid perspective. Strategies are of none value, unless they address the dance at hand. There are no rules to determine what you response should be but to follow the dance impulse.
I suggest you demo your trading while you read and think , as there is no better teacher than the markets.

I hope this help you, but I really encourage you to read think and practise. Thats the only way to develop the skills.

Once you get into the groove , you will understand. Otherwise it would be possible to learn how to drive by reading driving instruction, which is unlikely possible. Read the thread carefully, mostly the MO is not clear until you can embrace it. Otherwise PM me , I will try to guide you a little about chinese thinking.


regards

good luck for tome
Hi mahes,
You had tasted the flow and the MO.
Seems your adjustment to new MM is not palateble to yo risk tolerence. Try stay in comfort zone , don't press it until your mindset can adjust to the upsizing. You will know your own levels, from your book performance. Disorientation and discomfort in upsizing is the most difficult to adjust to, esp, when adjusting while volitilty is shifting as well. The trick is to stay to +ve book.
As your foreign cap accumulates, the transition may be smoothen. Force it and all your scorpions will surface in a jiffy.

Happy piping.

regards

Hi ALL,
I just heard that oanda is quoting elephant spreads (10pips ). I think you chaps trading with them should find brokers who are at their most professional standards, seems like they are not on the ball at all. All the highest professionalism talk, All BS, if you ask me. If these can't get decent dealing prices, maybe they should call me at counter 13.


regards

in the NYfed. article about foreign exange it said dealers change their quotes when they are uncertain.... maybe oanda is uncertain??
Hi,
You see fast markets, just want to rip traders off. thats all.
