Dislikedthis kinda gives some insight into a few things which include concepts if the markets are really random among a few other insightful things..
If your driving.. And the road is going left.. Why would you take a right off the road.. I suppose if the markets are random you might have some insight into going off road since it will randomly go anywhere..
But besides the random concept and just into a traders mind.. Why would you want to take a right anyways.. Sure you can't see beyond your headlights.. But what you can see within your headlights the...Ignored
Dislikedwhat if your entire trading just revolved around the unforeseen events.. well if there unforeseen newyear how the hell can we profit from it...

DislikedHow do you take into account the candle width?

questions lead to thought which is great, but not all thought leads to answers which is not so great. anyway, don't let me stop you from stoking the fires in this thread just because i didn't answer how you wanted.Ignored
DislikedThis is why I work with log-prices - instead of taking 1.4123 as the price of EUR/USD, I compute log(1.4123)=0.3452 and continue with that.
It's the same basic idea as in using logarithmic scales for charts: http://stockforecast.wordpress.com/2...k-performance/
But they still work with real prices, and only change the scale. Instead of changing the scale, I keep it linear, but apply the logarithm to the price instead, like a lot of quants do. This has a number of advantages.
