Well I'd have to go way out on a limb and make some assumptions, but.... the real difference lately has been the volatility. September has been a busy month in the markets. And although several currencies have finally made some large moves, the ...

Alternative market - during these times?

Yes, you are right. I was simply offering a possible alternative to someone who finds the recent conditions difficult to decipher. But yeah, each has their own view.

Alternative market - during these times?

"Most" traders focus on Euro. I have no idea why that is, but it seems to be the case. Many years ago, Euro was an excellent trending pair, with volume and volatility. It also went in one direction, so if you were wrong, just wait it out. Nowadays, ...

Alternative market - during these times?

On the subject of 'one man's gain is another's loss'... this is the way business works. I've seen Home Depot and Starbucks set up shop right next door to their competitor with the full intention of driving them out of business. Is that bad ?? No, ...

Are Traders Psychopaths?

Guys, you could see if you click on his name, that Hoss hasn't been in here for a few months, but that's cool, it's still helpful to go through some of these past threads. Just can't really expect a timely answer from the thread starter. On ...

EUR/USD Scalp 1 min

Same here, 2003.... I have a 4 digit account number.. No negative issues with them. I like the instant execution with no re-quotes. The only "slippage" I ever get, is if I hesitate to pull the trigger. And that's not even slippage, it's just ...

Years with OANDA?

If this is going to be a short term top, then that spike was a perfect stop clearing setup. That should be just enough to put some fear into the shorts and even inspire some weak longs at the top. If I see short signals this session, I'm going to be ...

Why does news have reverse effect on the Currency?

It's impossible to define what percentage of "traders" are unprofitable. Many try a few times and quit in frustration with a quickness. Many struggle indefinitely, and some make it to consistent gains. But, a lot of activity in the market is ...

Which is True about forex traders?

Hi Smokey... so your chart looks like about a 21ema/11ema cross with a basic direction indicator. Is this something you want to share and discuss... because, you're not looking for young fools to spend money on something so simple, are you ??

EURUSD

Well the US Dollar seems to be moving the market today. AUD and Kiwi are showing a better short signal than Pound and Euro. (Short term charts / Asian session). I grabbed a couple short scalps today and am waiting to see if Euro is going to resume ...

AUD/USD

There's some true stuff here. (Not the first post). Yes, a single strategy without taking into account new developments in the market would eventually fail along with the pre-programmed robots. You do need to be flexible. And it does take time. But, ...
