The definition of a chaotic system is that it is not random, but way too complex to be predictable and behaving like random (an minor change changes the whole outcome). Thus you can apply the catch-all phrase of statistics, e.g. the Stochastics. ...

Yep, the universe is so full of information that you have to apply filters in order to make some sense (finally that's all what's sense is about, categorial structures and conditional connections, itself being just a human concept). so if market ...

I personally think the markets are impulse-driven, meaning you kick them with some information and they fly until a contrary information hits, like an object in space. Anyways, information if not news is also any kind of technical level, popular ...

That surely is another important point. My bad I forgot. However, emotions play an important role. I wouldn't let an EA trade my strategy since it proved to be not as effective as manual trading. No lunch for free I think.

Everyone uses lagging indicators, at least when it comes to confirmation. Unfortunately there is too much noise whipsawing you, and if you smooth that out, you're always too late or even a target. I personally dislike indicators for automated ...

Humans will always have an advantage over EAs, since rules to handle the market, most often based on its whole history without distinctions and being tuned in, are just too dumb to filter out the noise or become so complex to be known as ...

EURUSD

You're right. I'll do whatever my strategy advices me to do, at least I'll have some confidence in it, thus not feeling out of control. I'm curious about whether the situation of last week is still intact or if something has changed during the ...

EURUSD

rightyright, too much meta can't be very practicable. I'm guilty of watching too much - I'm still too amazed by the markets inner processes.

Ah great, sounds promising. And does myfxbook have any quality insuring mechanisms in place? I only wonder how easily those stats can be manipulated. EDIT: Ah ok, "Data is based on verified, real accounts only", although "Total Funds: 56MM" is not ...

LOL. Whatever I tried, I can't sleep at this time of day. I'm located in Europe, shouldn't be too difficult for me to participate in London session, however, I'm more often finding myself trading the Tokyo one, which recently was more controllable ...

I'm not used to myfxbook community. Whom is it consisting of? If these stats are outlooks from pros, it does not pay to counter them as it would if these were populated over retail masses. Also, countering my broker's stats probably is better since ...

EURUSD

Great, thank you all for the links, better to compare them all. Since I'm at Dukascopy and bound to their liquidity, I should consider them primarily, no?

EURUSD

what scares me most is what E/CHF is doing down there, does not match a bullish euro.

Thank you, great site. I bet it's rather seldom to see E/U so biased.

These holidays probably don't have much effect anyways. Last week someone posted sentiment statistics (percent of long/short orders). where can I get such? seems the most objective thing to find out where to not be.

I wouldn't advice trading until japan is open. The only deals now are carry trades, and these are huge orders moving price up and down for several pips. brokers like scalpers being caught in these times, since spread goes up inpredictably and they ...

EURUSD

talented, next time if you want to be in early when a breakout occurs, put buy and sell limits above and below the range channel rather than entering blind and hoping for the best. It will still pay if the breakout is real. And if it is real, you ...

M5 is forming a triangle, maybe you're lucky and get an upper breakout. If you see heavy dumping instead, you're probably wrong. With some experience, you can estimate the sentiment by looking at the price changes (is there panic, is their a ...

EURUSD

You're welcome. Btw, the market is not a concious individual, it is the result of all actions. They even could all be wrong, but it wouldn't pay to chase a wrong market since it is always stronger than you, there is no point of being right or wrong ...

We all went through these situations several times. Take it as something you can learn from, this is important (and hopefully not too expensive) and there is no way to skip that part of experience. One thing to remind you - would you ever sit and ...
