Interesting stuff mamood. I worry about calculating performance stats and consistency. Rigid alarm goes off for me, analysis is one of my scorpions I have yet to keep caged.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Thank you for the advice guys. Like mentioned, dealers are on the edge, so I want to be very professional when I knock aggressively on these banks. Is calling a treasury like calling any other business? (I have not called a bank treasury before). ...

sorry, yes.

Hi fti, I heard from previous sales trader that starting off as an analyst with CPA will help you get into trading (working your way up). But I am wondering what the process for employment as a dealer is?

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Yes I have to think like bull when bull and vice versa. When I have a scout in, I'm committed until something drastically happens. But that is when there is a clear trend. I was stuck in a range so I'm looking for an opportunity, preparing for time ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

basically what I'm doing, scout felt right until momentum stopped. So MO is to square quickly. Then I feel second leg down at 1.400, so scout again. Price went up a bit, but had reserves and cap from previous scout. Decided to continue. But asking ...

I hope not as well. I thought this was part of asking the market and testing her to see where she wants to go (usually while I am asking these questions I am already in the market, and I am just testing where price has difficulty). I have another ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I am on E/U I feel more volatility than on U/J.Feels much too quiet, scary quiet. I am currently short on EU. The upwards sloping wedge was denied, but way too much momentum than normally I see. Now I see intermediate w bottom on 5 min. I am squared ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I think this might be linked back to one of fti's previous comments about pairs being out of line in terms of volatility and not in terms of price? Or maybe the key is just in the models used in pricing and the volatility? testing resistance on E/U ...

Kathy Lien, I think fti mentioned she was small potato with big hat. I will wait to see his reaction. Although I think that fti's MO was specific to his banking days. I doubt we have the capacity to do what he does. Good point to bring up

yes, hoarding is natural, but then again chinese parents try their very best to do what they can for their families. I think Japan's fishing industry may have a tarnish for a while, at least for chinese consumers.

price hinted up move numerous times, if not already long by 79.13, not feeling price enough.

I don't follow oil unless there's a clear correlation at the moment. That cleanliness is actually concerning, a strong force might be in play.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Good to hear from you mamood! It is nice to see your initiative in a challenging industry. I am working very hard to excel in university (and am currently completing the ACI dealer's handbook and options training). Perhaps I will see you someday, if ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

sorry dumb question to ask, I've just seen many gaps that get filled recently. Luckily exposures size is down and nimble. I usually place a scout when impulse dictates the fill in the gap. As price moves along I usually decide if I can manage it or ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Does the market always fill the gap like that, then resume the trend? In a situation like this, should we be trying to catch the minor corrective uptrend? I would have stayed short, and do some quick flips as impulse dictates (but nimble enough to ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

found something cool about fib numbers: in a series of any consecutive fib numbers in the series (call them a b c). b^2 =ab +- 1. Funny thing is that if we treat the 1 as negligible in the long run, our equation collapses to b = a. Thus the +-1 is ...

It will be hard to unlearn things which you have been taught, but I'm sure you like challenge. Work on mindset first. 2% rule is highly rigid. Your mindset should never ever be "whatever". Goodluck

Technical Analysis Fallacy

did you see the trend? When trend is against you and impulse is too strong, you cannot win. Rescues are only for mistiming, not for misdirection. Why did you not cut loose the position? The momentum should have caught your eye for a quick reverse. ...
