Unlike toxic mysticism from alchemists, otherwise known as dogma, this guy gives experienced ( he works with banks in the city ) wisdom anyone might find some benefit from. Without going into detail, like "the candle has no volume" silliness, or "it hasn't been tested" dribble, basic logic from a factual point - yes trend trading doesn't work in a range where MM's and algos might just take your stop out. Trade what you know is right and get better at it. How do you know it's right? That's your research and time finding out - experience the good and bad. Edit: the person is key.

"It's a great thrill to beat the guys in the city.... " he says in another clip. Hehehehe

Cheers...

I agreed with Dr. Paul in Divergence, but I really disagree on everything he said in this video, and here is why:

he said: "winning percentage drop when trading forex", and that is not true, trading basics will apply on every market.
he said: "you can't know range(sideway) market unless you are in it", that is not true, by knowing Dow trend stages, the range(sideway) market will start from the first day that does not give you anymore HH/LL.
he said: "clusters of bad and good luck comparing trading to a casino", this is a mindset of a gambler not a trader, again, Dow trend stages will organize the markets for you.

to members who seen the video, please, compare his POV with these 3 examples of 3 different markets using the same DAY direction,Dow,divergence.

Visually you can see start/end of trends and start/breakout of range.

why would anyone use 50/50 trading style in this kind of reading. it does not make sense when the trend is UP for someone to think 50/50 and sell. with correct reading, it would be impossible to have a cluster of bad hits, one mistake ? maybe, but the rest should be correct with the direction.

with all respect to the Dr. but trading is not a guessing game, you either see a correct reading or you don't trade.

these are extra examples to the same 3 markets showing H4 and weekly direction, just to prove markets are organized.

the funny thing is Dow from the 1900's and still works in all markets.

the sad thing is the title of the video "Randomness in the Markets" , when all markets has a range that is always respected.

By using this phrase as the header of the video, it is misleading, what he is actually referring to in Randomness of the Markets is the clusters of good & bad results in trading, especially with the low win rates traders have in short term chart trading the Forex.

He is a stock trader principally trading the Daily charts, with win rates above 75%.

Traders in a state of "euphoria" with a series of winning trades, as opposed to "desperation" when the opposite happens with a series of losing trades, with the low win rates. He calls this "hit rate".

He does ramble a bit on the video, I think he is trying to impress the interviewer a little bit too much.

I don't think he is talking about trading a Random Market.

I agree, markets have not changed much, only the technology has, making it more accessible than it was years ago to the masses and a lot cheaper to trade with lower capital requirements.

forget "euphoria" and "desperation" , why would anyone trade the market as a casino of 50/50 in the first place ?

he said his winnings are 65% and losing 35% , that's the strategy of a 50/50 trader, he do believe the markets are random, so, the title is not misleading.

I think he is talking about the masses, the average forex trader does have a 50 / 50 win rate or worse trading short time frames.
He states he has a 75% hit rate with stocks, so maybe Forex is not his expertise.

I think he did start talking about a roulette wheel, so maybe his thinking about Forex markets is gambling and his take is the emotional aspect of cluster of winning / losing trades affecting a trader. How that can be detrimental to ones' psychology.

exactly, that's what I objected on in my first post today
"he said: "winning percentage drop when trading forex", and that is not true, trading basics will apply on every market."

a man like him should not describe forex as a gambling market.

I'm ok with any strategy that makes money.

but, 50/50 traders focus more on MM more than trading, that's why they get in the state of mind of "euphoria" and "desperation".

direction traders focus more on trading and MM is a backup, I'm sure they will enjoy there winnings and accept there loses without mental issues

Well that's what you get from asking a stock trader who would probably take a position on a stock not from a technical view but probably more from a fundamental one, like PE ratios, earning etc. and have greater success long term with growth. I think he is running a fund, thats his strategy.

Trading OPM doesn't carry as much emotional baggage as trading your own money.

We all have our different opinions and ways of seeing things.. I would argue there's a high probability Dr David Paul has had far more financial success trading than the vast majority of us on FF.

The MM is simply part of their trading plan...one leg of the plan soto speak. They take very specific setups that work less than 50% of the time . Nothing wrong with that. Trading has always been about Mitigating risk. . First and foremost we are Risk Managers ...no matter what our WR is ..

As there are very very successful traders that have a WR far less than 50/50 and make huge returns year after year decade after decade...

And btw these traders use TA and classic chart patterns. For the Anti TA crowd lol...

We all have different views on trading or life in general.. Thats the cool thing about FF is we can all express our opinions on our
common passion of trading And I know over the years my views have shifted and changed on somethings as with time comes
experience let alone the exposure to the differing views on the forum.

As TimeTells always says there is more than one way to trade...and no Best way to trade its an individual thing.....

I know the Dr. and seen his videos years ago, he is great in stocks and commodities, but the picture he painted about forex is going to mess up some traders if they take him seriously.
