DislikedThe last posts I see often the word ‘random’. Has this become a ‘random or non-random’ thread? If that is the case then the algo camp and the real camp can fully agree, I guess. Here some TA garbage before the fact: https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...5#post13456245Ignored
Disliked{quote} As for random, the charts that we see are so carefully controlled, nothing is left to chance. Or at least that's my view.Ignored
Disliked{quote} See my earlier post today. Markets are all smoke and mirrors but why persuade anyone to the contrary? swdIgnored
Disliked{quote} Thanks for the link, yep a weekly order block that price can and will react to/from. I prefer it to be broken for the short but a buy to 50% retrace always worth keeping an eye on. As for random, the charts that we see are so carefully controlled, nothing is left to chance. Or at least that's my view. Of course most will disagree and that's fine. I'm over it to be honest.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Why persuade...I'm not, I'm trying to look at how rather than why. Perfectly coded Algo designed to entice traders to make the wrong decision ..I would say they were relatively successful.. again others will explain money creates the moves along with news... and that's fine. I just think it's too well controlled.Ignored
Disliked{quote} When you take out the technical stuff I mentioned, you will see the clear message underneath. It's left for the reader to see. However, we are at a crossroads for sure. A carefuly controlled algo can still be REAL, in the sense that someone designed it, sat down and coded it and released it onto the platforms. We are all fighting against it (or not) everyday, so it's real to traders and to most who don't see it. The premise for the thread is now somewhat muddied in my eyes, there is never going to be a binary real or algo answer, it's too...Ignored
DislikedLucky the market is random, otherwise might have got caught out...and that's just a few of them. I wonder who farted at 22:00 to create bullshit moves undercover of bullshit news.... At least TA/FA would have picked up the on the moves before they happened... Yes folks, its real.... such precision ..can only be money moving the charts....right? {image} {image} {image} {image} {image} {image} {image} {image} {image} {image}Ignored
Disliked{quote} I can't decide if this thread has become comical or simply sad. You are asking this question again with all the charts? REALLY? We've been over this, yet it still seems to amaze and/or confound you? Also, has to subject matter now changed? Is the new, evolved title of this thread "Random or Algo"? Is the new notion that if the single algo is BS, then the market is random (which, I assume, is your version of real?)? Isn't this just a typical list of crap that helps explain a retail traders losses and failures? "It's not me, it's the (algo,...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Here is a theoretical explanation for your "stuff" on the chart. Not all matching engines are created equally. When a market is declining fast, how is it that a seller can still sell, if "someone" or "something" is taking the opposite side of their trade? There has to be a buyer somewhere in the system to provide the liquidity to allow you to sell. Doesn't matter who or what it is but your sell order has to be "matched" with a buyer. Let's assume that the buyer cannot just be retail losers. If they were, then a big player who wanted to buy...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Hi SWD I see the real architecture is the player who controls one side of the order book. Having control creates liquidity because not only do they now own the market - any new seller has to source their order directly from them. Their was a perfect example tonight on GBPUSD - a cycle to destroy any sellers by applying multiple Long orders near a top to remove all opposition then suddenly applying a huge Sell order at 1.3993 at the tip of the wick to balance the order book. They became be the only seller on GBPUSD - they become the liquidity...Ignored
DislikedHowever what is unacceptable and frankly your posts give me a headache, so what is unacceptable is you saying much without saying nothing. Hope you aren't offended but you need to quit it if you can't give any tangible information as others have. Time still remains money and you're wasting ours.Ignored

DislikedSo, I don't get the discussion about edge. There is not edge present in the charts. The edge is you and how you use the charts. And most importantly, trade to targets, use your head (your edge) and stick with your plan until PA, TA, or structure say otherwise. The is not rocket science. It's much harder that rocket science.Ignored
