LoL... QE3 was priced in when Bernanke hinted about it in July during his twist extension... Actually... QE3 was probably already priced in back when QE1 was launched... Efficient market theory has been disproven long ago. The markets are not driven ...

Take the Emotional Bias Test!

I saw this one trader on this board say "No wonder the banks set the exotic pairs with too much spread to trade!!! They trend so smoothly..." That one made me laugh... The reason those goddamn pairs generally trend so smoothly is because there is no ...

Market Manipulation Dynamics

The level of organization lately in the wave structure on the 5m, 10m, and 20m charts on the EUR/USD has been phenomenal... Even if the wave structure was random... The power of long averages and indicators like MACD is they allow you to see the ...

Market Manipulation Dynamics

Now in the real world... For some reason. Blame it on the structuring of the communicating firings in our brains... Fibonacci structure or whatever. These cycles don't just move smoothly... They form fractals! Bob Prechter's discovery of the ...

Market Manipulation Dynamics

There is no need to be completely paranoid. Even in a market that isn't manipulated the masses trained with standard trend trading techniques will still lose to themselves in a sideways market with influence unresponsive sideways equilibrium. I made ...

Market Manipulation Dynamics

The recent reversal in the EUR/USD was very unnatural. In my opinion it was a artificially manipulated reversal. But, at a certain point into early September it became a self fueling trend and no longer needed support. The price action in august ...

Take the Emotional Bias Test!

The reality is that once a 20,30 and similar crossovers have been achieved... The moves generally become self fueling provided enough opposite direction sentiment has been established. If your big enough you should play around with manipulating the ...

Take the Emotional Bias Test!

You seem to be forgetting the German courts okaying the printing of a trillion dollars in bonds by the ECB two days before? News just catalyzes emotions. Nothing more... Those two events balanced themselves out fundamentally. Quote from market ...

Take the Emotional Bias Test!

Here is the monthly chart inverse... I look at it and am like "Yep... Couple more months downward before any good buy setups on the weekly/daily charts." I look at the monthly chart non inverse and am thinking "Time to start looking for daily/weekly ...

Take the Emotional Bias Test!

You know whats funny... I admit I kinda still have a slight bias. Thank god I follow my technical rules and am just a daytrader! When I look at the inverse chart (USD/EUR) long term... I'm like... "Yep... Going to need two down cycles or a LOT of ...

Take the Emotional Bias Test!

Too many people in this thread are interested in trading calls when this WAS NOT the point at all. But anyway... Here is my analysis... Because of long term downward momentum the EUR/USD is probably going to have a good short setup in the rally ...

Take the Emotional Bias Test!

Eh, well not everyone is going to understand what the point of this test is as they analyze things differently. Kinda funny... I didn't realize that this was a perfect five wave bottom on the EUR/USD which requires at minimum two waves higher before ...

Take the Emotional Bias Test!

Irrelevant... This is a EMOTIONAL BIAS TEST... In a perfect world where all is just technical and physiological from this point on... With no unexpected news catalysts. Where do you think it is going to go? Looking like a early 2009, late 2010 ...

Take the Emotional Bias Test!

Irrelevant. Because of the physiology of trading any currency pair has the same physiological patterns. Same momentum and trend behaviors and etc... This chart has a proper physiological pattern. Ill reveal what it is a chart of later. Many have ...

Take the Emotional Bias Test!

LoL... Not very specific... Continue to go down below the prior swing low at 0.7400 I assume you mean. Re: Vox Dei I am not asking you to make a trading call. I'm asking you straight... "Where is it going?" I am not asking you if your going to buy ...

Take the Emotional Bias Test!

It's important to recognize the different between "runs" and "trends"... A run doesn't have retracements when overbought or oversold... Runs are more likely to occur off of long term lows or highs as a large long term build up in positive/negative ...

The elements of Trend and some Rules

If something is trending sideways with no momentum with a range of 200 pips odds are high that price will move from the outside of that range back toward the middle. As trend speed starts to increase the instrument generally has a larger 10 bar ...
