Why Traders Lose Money
- traider commented Apr 25, 2014
There are days when the market is driven by momentum only, others when liquidity is present. The former can be very tricky and risky, the latter cruisy and relatively safe. It's knowing how to distinguish these days that is the big hurdle.

I can't see any numbers on that chart. Can you give me the numbers for one of the trades if possible. Thanks.
Technical Analysis Fallacy
- traider replied Apr 18, 2014
For me, a trade is bad as I misread the signals. In that case, I abandon it and wear the loss. It all thus depends on whether you know why your trade has gone bad.
Describe your way to "save" a bad trade

The market is constantly chamging the way it seeks out S/R. Just beware of that. The umderlying logic remains the same, but the source changes. You would need to get down to the individual candles to see that.
Losing Streak: Is it because of strategy or bad luck?

No probs. I generally find thin markets not dissimilar to the regular moves (others may disagree) and there can be substantial shifts on occasions. Just be careful however and trade prudently (which you should routinely do.)

Some support does not need retesting, others (corrupt intial moves) should be retested. In other words, I can act on the first candle and sometimes wait for other confirmation.
How do you buy support?

Its work as usual with forex. Thin markets can be quite good movers as well.

Dangerous. S&R is basically at the candles that contains the stacked orders (there are grades of stack). You can with time and exposure work out what these look like. Steve Nison drops a few hints in his DVD's so get a set and listen carefully. They ...
A little help with PA and S&R, please
- traider replied Mar 27, 2014
You will need to enlarge the charts so as you can see the candles for one. S&R plays out between candles. Buyers vs sellers basically. I can't teach you...basically the process is like learning to ride a bike. Once you understand how the markets ...

No. Generally income in the OECD rules is characterised by frequency of event. So for example, if you are trading 5 times a day irrespective of how you finance that operation, that would be deemed to be income. On the other hand, if you held a ...

China opened up in the '70's when Nixon and Mao shook hands and agreed to transform China into the FDI lovechild it is. China has modelled it's alignment with capital using the Japanese model which most of the Far East is emulating. I read up a fair ...

The Far East is the bedrock on which global liquidity gains momentum. If you haven't sussed this out, you should not be trading.

The margin of Foreign Direct Investment allocated to that country from the global pool of liquidity may be a good start. Google should have something.

Day Trading vs Long Term Investing
- traider replied Mar 13, 2014
Every day is pretty much good for daytrading. I would suggest at least 4 years of maximum chart time (as in "little life beyond observing the charts" other than the necessities.) At least 4 hours a day, don't trade, demo or live, just observe and ...

It depends on what you are looking at in the charts. Finding liquidity spots is a skill. It's not just a matter of bull this, bear that and channel the other. If you don't know where these spots are, you are going to have issues. It's that simple. ...
