So what is the meaning of those red and blue triangles pointing sideways, if they are not indicating entry signals for short and long respectively?
- syp replied Apr 28, 2020
I picked those because they are, as it appears to me, three big losing trades in a row. That doesn't seem so perfect to me. You seem to believe that you will be able to filter the lesser from the better of your signals, but that will likely be ...

What about the bottom right of your chart, Pip-loser? Am I right to observe that there you would have sold at the first red triangle, to then revert direction at the first blue triangle, then revert again to short at the second red triangle, then ...

I always assumed that they would be holding to maturity. Did you consider that option, why couldn't they do that? Any data on what the capital-weighted term to maturity is?

trader fallacy — Your reasoning is likely biased by your position. Furthermore, even if there is a 'barrier' that doesn't mean that it will turn 180 degrees or that the barrier won't be passed eventually.

ZeroHedge good stuff? You must be joking. It is the FOX News of financial reporting.

Maybe you are right and the entry was from very early this morning. I assumed that is was more likely to have been made yesterday afternoon. Real money might be better, but in essence still the same advice: as long as you feel compelled to ask ...

You acknowledge that you made a bad entry, and at the same time you claim that because of this you missed four trades. Your problem is that you still believe in the Forex Fantasy that it is easy to identify tops and bottom and sell/buy them all. You ...

Almost assured you say. What does these words mean to you? If the market is as sure of it as you are, then this fact has already been discounted. How many years of experience with trading based on fundamental analysis do you have?

As often, it is mostly a matter of semantics. Given that most noobies are doomed to fail due to such a simple point as underestimating the amount of effort that is required to make money (or even not lose it), I would say it is hard. Apparently the ...

Trading is hard. It logically must be. Maybe you prefer having your definition of hard depend on your personal experience, but the more common definition depends on whether a (small) minority can succeed at it. It is impossible for all market ...

I did. I questioned your logic that China's only inclination would be a devaluation of the dollar by pointing out that this partially contradicts their actions, and implied the reason behind their actions. Since the yuan is closely coupled to the ...

Yes I did, but you started that same sentence with I just know. It seemed silly to me that someone would first stress that they do not know anything about a topic, then contrast this by means of just introducing a statement they are equally unsure ...

First you say you don't know, and then in the next sentence you conjecture anyway. If China did not want a strong(er) us dollar they most likely would not be raising rates. Ask Gator about China's fear of inflation.

A trader cursing volatility is a quite sure sign of poor trading abilities.

It could not be any other way. In this game everyone is out for profit and it has to be paid by some other participant who has the same objective. Assuming that it is actually possible to perform better than average at this, the 'gifted' ...

If you never know anything about market direction then no amount of money management if going to deliver consistent profits. The need for money management is a function of your ability to pick the direction. If you are never wrong in picking the ...

Nonsense. Of course there were more sellers than buyers who decided/needed to trade in that particular time span, but there is absolutely no need for a single big entity for spikes to happen in the market. The markets are mostly ruled by nonlinear ...

I was just acting out as Captain Obvious by saying that picking a longer term top is a lot harder than picking a short term top. In a sense picking a short term top is indeed easy. However, it does not make us all millonaires because there is more ...

picking tops is easy — To me, picking a top or bottom does not become impressive until at least days have passed, but preferably weeks, with the top staying in place.
