Obviously I am. And you are a master analyst and trader (and apparently a millionaire). One of the thousands around here in the factory. Great post, thank you. Oh, btw, how do you know I haven't made it? This is hilarious Now calm down and ...

why is everyone so afraid to average down?

Let me put it this way (I hope that's not going offend anyone) - just because YOU can't do it, does not mean it is the great evil force of account destruction. I use scaling in both directions and it works profitably enough for me. That said, if you ...

Same sort of spike in cable, with GBPCHF reflecting... the Swiss after all? Whoever that was...I was at least out at that time This somehow reminds me of the days after Lehman and Bear bankrupted ...

This is monstrous. And this time it's definitely NOT the SNB. I hope there was no one EUR short. Clash of the titans

The place is full of rumors and markets are covered with blood today. Here's a quote I particularly like: In some ways it’s a battle of the politicians against the markets. That’s how I do see it. But I’m determined to win this battle. - Angela ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Yes, that's sort of it. I was initially short, then made a small attack on the move up without killing the shorts. At the point where the price indicated loose of bullish momentum I deployed my short rescue and brought the longs home with their ...
