CrucialPoint, First off, I don't know why you just assume that I'm here to get something from you, or be spoon-fed by you (or whatever). Perhaps because that is what many wannabes here do? I think your assumption is arrogant nevertheless. Second, as ...

And what is exactly so new and revealing about those "hemispheres"? There are already countless strategies that apply such concept.

Darkstar, Your posts make it clear to me that you are one of the few here who have an advanced understanding of this game. - I see a high probability that you are consistently profitable. You said something I find extremely accurate: "The trick ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

And I'm saying that in some occasions, it's better to go against the crowd, and when everybody buys, you sell. This is a form of outside the box thinking which, if applied correctly, can be rewarding. Also, I like what you said: and I personally ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

There are times when going with the crowd is a bad idea; identifying such times requires skill and an ability to 'think out of the box'. There are other times when going with the crowd is the safest move; identifying such times usually only needs ...

nubcake, You're right, game A and B both are negative expectancy games, BUT game B has one (or more) state in which it has positive expectancy. Here's an extract from Wikipedia: While Game B is a losing game under the probability distribution that ...

vx13, Let me just say that I admire your attitude, specifically the way you're handling the naysayers posts (myself included). In this business, it's rare to come cross someone as honest and who doesn't have the typical big/insecure trader's ego. My ...

The keyword here is "might". Parrondo's Paradox applied to forex and/or gambling is not one of those cases (7bit knows what he's talking about). I believe that misinformation is worse than no information at all. The reason being that ...

Just wanted to add this: I'm not sure what "simple thing" you're looking for exactly. The market is a fairly complex and dynamic system, you can't beat it with just a simple trading rule or set of simple rules. In my opinion, it is always better ...

I'm familiar with Parrondo's Paradox. You can't really use it to create an edge in trading because: 1) As already mentioned, there are no real/fixed probabilities regarding future outcomes only estimations at best (due to the nature of the markets). ...

Nonsense.

The Element of Time in Trading

Nice pony. Personally, where "the line" is depends on the pair. Each pair generally has 3 major time periods: - Time during which the base currency's session is open (and the other is closed) - Time during which both sessions overlap - Time during ...

Not a chance, sorry. They've always only allowed 50:1 even prior to the CFTC new regulations. They're now happy about these new regulations because they make them look like they've been right and wise all along. "We are very pleased at the new CFTC ...

OANDA Discussion

No they don't take credit card deposits, only paypal. Let's say you have a verified paypal account but it has restrictions (due to paypal's country restrictions, some countries can only send money), Oanda then won't take your paypal deposits or ...

A title, by definition, is something that should sum up the content, helping the browser decide whether or not it's something he wants to read without having to read the whole thing. "It's kind of curious..." is not really a title. Spot on my fellow ...

That would still be a prediction/forecast, albeit one that is based on frequent events that exhibit stable distribution patterns. Even if you bet on something that is "happening now", you're still predicting that it will continue to happen once ...

Alright thanks. I was assuming that was already included in the "less than 5%" part, hence my asking. I haven't done any analysis to verify these percentages but they seem like believable estimates (i.e. nothing strange about them). The problem ...

I know. Let me try again: Your statement is: "95% of the time, Price will close either above or below the opening price. Less than 5% of the time, Price will close at its opening price." 95% + less than 5% = less than 100% Where did the rest of the ...

I noticed this same. There is hardly any "present price". Once price moves by one tick, the previous tick and everything before it is considered "past price". Every chart trader is basing his trading decisions on past information. I'm afraid the ...

I've had the pleasure of personally knowing a couple of professional gamblers (yes, that means who make their living from having a real statistical edge over a casino game), and they are far more informed and impressive than most traders I've met. ...
