I see the analogy. Look at cable - broke above daily and weekly tops and how many shouted here "short the living shit out of it". Which is the same "it can't go on like this, it must, it WILL change soon" as when people bet on black purely because ...

Why are most retail traders usually on the wrong side of the market?

Not to mention that /according to gossip/ most brokers, if they have to, bet against their clients at their liquidity providers. So let's say all clients of YugoBrok go long, they will go short to offset the exposure. Because, statistically, clients ...

Let's move the market!

No, Damien, I wasn't. To make it clear, I think it could be possible (what isn't in the market???) but I don't think it's a good idea. Anyways the readings are interesting.

Let's move the market!

Well there is an amount which could do that. I read some excellent posts recently. Begins with this post. Worth reading laters posts in the thread tho.

What's wrong with ATR? Anyways maybe you can find something useful here: url You can put all of them in MT4, if it's not in there by default, you can download it.

indicator which shows daily percentage variation?

Very well said. I prefer to look back after a week or two, when I have some time. When the dust has settled, you can look back coolheaded. I always realize trading is soo easy. In hindsight

Why are most retail traders usually on the wrong side of the market?

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed, "the right side" of the market can also change in a very short time? So a rosy long in the morning can end up as a big short in the afternoon. Is it a wonder it's hard to figure "the right side"?

AHA moments in your trading career

Why are most retail traders usually on the wrong side of the market?

God! Can you sleep well with almost 20% floating loss? I was joking to someone the other day, that when you predicted a sharp fall in equities, you were talking about your own equity. It was a bad joke. Sorry. However you beat me. It took me 6 ...

Weekly COT report Analysis + Trade Ideas

I suppose if anyone knew, they'd have told it already. Nobody knows. Market moves fast one day, slow on other days. US open usually stirs it up a little. When to give up? Good question. 2 or 3 tries in a row? I guess it's a matter of taste. I'm ...

Ah, the best thing about FF is the large number of people. You can be 100% sure, some of them will know the answer to your question, or immediately tell you if you make a mistake. I looked a bit harder and it said 20 is not so uncommon. And the ...

Why are most retail traders usually on the wrong side of the market?

Funny you should say that because this is what I was thinking to myself this morning. The pound shooted up, above daily and weekly highs, and people are pushing to short it. I read an excellent article about roulette, but can't find it right now. It ...

Are you aware that his dad is a former congressman? Are you sure he paid the bill, not his dad? Are you sure he is in his current job because he's the new Livermore or because his dad helped him a little? It's a funny old world, 30 year olds don't ...

Do Investment Bankers make a lot of money compared to traders

I'm not against new ideas or approaches, just I found it a little hard to understand, how your idea works. If it works, make a lot of green pips with it.

this is a debate about how to not predict the market

I don't exactly understand, why do you think if you place a pair of orders "just in the middle", then there is guarantee that price will break out and make a massive move to one side. There is no guarantee for that. I reckon If the idea you shown ...
