Oh spare me the waffle and claptrap. My statement was simply as follows: Ego and paranoia mark the trading profession. Understandably so especially as the market deregulates and risk increases. Therefore take measures to secure yourself and bone up ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

One could be said to be understandably delusional in being unwilling to acknowledge that it is a degree of ego that brings all of of us, to the trading game, the human condition being what it is. Additionally, one can be forgiven for being naive in ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Ego and paranoia. The former has always driven the markets, the latter increasingly rears its head and with some basis it has to be said. If there is anything I take from my travels in these threads its to do my risk homework and tighten up my ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Aaah. I thought you were taking offence as to my views on the basis of current market high jinks (which as I said, tends to be the sum of my contribution). On that score you are correct. However, it is up to FTI to take issue with my opining (on his ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

It's not a question of being unopposed or not. It's simply a statement of fact. As the global economy deregulates, we will find more excessive outcomes as capitalism's virtue, greed, gives effect to natural consequences. I've seen this all across ...

Hi fxgurl What sort of experiences have you had in terms of being messed around with? Ta

I'm not leaving. I have been a member on this website for quite a while and will continue to stop by when there's anything of use that comes up. But there's little point making a contribution on this thread when emotions run high on fairly neutral ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I do not think my remark reflects negatively on FTI and if it is so misconstrued, that was not the intention. I for one, as a lawyer, regret the loss of the ethics my profession was noted for. That is an entirely natural reaction. However, the ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Online retail FX is a relatively new business model and the way I suspect capitalism is headed. If you consider that this is rapidly becoming a form of self employment across the world, especially in Asia, it is a win win, bad practices ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I for one am glad that you are raising these thought provoking issues as it does cause me food for thought. I have not been involved in market making so as a retail technician, this causes me to consider risk strategies which I welcome having to do, ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Thanks for that FTI. I'll have to have a good read of it. I trade very specific signals and run a number of platforms for confirmation of what I call the driver candle so this kinda mystifies me. However i can see this occurring where traders are ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

No probs FRZ. I did not take his departure personally. I seldom do in this game. I tell people what I see. How they receive that information is up to them. Having said that, FTI is a wealth of information having been at the coalface of the trading ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

It's a shame that FTI is quitting as the few times I have been here, it was good reading his posts. Having said that, I trade the 15tf and saw a nice regular drop from 1.3174. The news simply confirmed the markets bias. I would worry less about ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Yeah. It's nasty. Anyways, I'm off to my bed. Incidentally, your thread is very informative so it would be a shame to see you close it down.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

BTW, what did you lose on FTI? Let me check that chart.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

You misunderstand me FTI. I do not approve of the manipulation. But when you have a cultural economy that basis itself on greed as a virtue and strives to be free of all regulation and taxes, these things are natural outcomes. Its like, you know, if ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Oh I agree that the market is manipulated. However, unlike you, I don't think it is possible to regulate a global beast that is simultaneously striving to be deregulated. I told a chappie on this forum that German austerity will give way to European ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

That is good. Also develop the skills of contemplating the basics and then stretching them out. The levels that matter in the driver candles are 0, 50 and 75.

You have a long journey ahead of you Inguy. Trading skills is like trying to measure the iceberg.
