Calm down. Nobody is monitoring you. He/she just said they're monitoring this thread. I'd find it strange if they wouldn't be interested in what their clients are saying about them out here.

That's like me saying: I group charts "inside the box". It's not the tools that should be deemed inside or outside the box, it's how you use em. i.e. how you trade. Yes indeed. If we all thought the same way there would be no market. One man's "box" ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

I think you're missing my point. The way you're understanding it is: We look at news to try to predict market sentiment/direction based on them (e.g. bad numbers for the dollar = go short on the dollar). That is most definitely not what I meant. ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Well some people already trade with absurd stuff like astrology, sacred geometry, the so called "golden ratio", and the square of the magical numbers of the astral sign of the moon. Trading which way a donkey sleeps at night is barely outside the ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Thought so. Welcome.

To elaborate a bit more on this, I don't care if something is deemed "inside the box" or "outside the box" (the subjectivity of such terms is already evidenced by the variety of interpretations in this thread). If it's something that enough market ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

I agree with Monroe's response to this. We don't seek to "analyze" the news or any of that. We simply need to be aware of their serious short-term orderflow implications. Also this: "news is more inside the box, because there is a good amount of ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Well if it works for you, then of course whatever I say doesn't matter. Why fix what's not broken? Personally, I will look at whatever the money movers are looking at. If they look at news, I'll do that too. If they look at charts, I'll do that ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Not really. It just got much harder/more competitive. That's what I do as well. As far as I know, any sane daytrader would keep an eye on the news (you don't necessarily have to trade them, just be aware of them). I honestly don't know of any ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

How long do your trades remain open on average? Just like any market maker, they will eventually have problems with your style of trading if your trades remain open for 1 minute or less on average I think (not sure about the exact number). They ...

Trader pays £1,500,000 'to prove anyone can win'

"anyone can win on the stock market" No $hit. It's a statistical fact. Just a rich idiot trying to prove the obvious and look cool.

Trader pays £1,500,000 'to prove anyone can win'

To me that's like asking "when do you stop sex?". It's about the movement, volume, and liquidity. I take profit when the move runs out of steam. Know what I'm sayin'?

How do YOU know when to take profits?

Awesome.

Well thanks a lot. I just sprayed soda all over my laptop.

AMAZING Strategy!!!

lol, can't say it isn't, especially considering his post count. Looks like PhAnTi is so addicted to forex that he couldn't be bothered learning proper English.

forex addiction - whats your opinion?

oops Looks like I misunderstood this question. Thought you meant "addictive" when what you really meant is "addicted". In that case, no. I'm not addicted in the "gambling addiction" sense (I don't gamble), but I am addicted to cracking this game, ...
