DislikedInteresting and true to form - Some detractors, some defenders and a few sympathizers. I love threads like this - comic relief after being stopped outIgnored
Disliked{quote} I repeat my earlier post. Any takers for a serious discussion? Is that too much to ask around here these days? No disrespect to you whatsover gspajon. My question was not loaded. Just a simple question, observation that nobody wishes to discuss with any measure of intelligence or maturity. (but can't say I haven't enjoyed the witty remarks).Ignored
DislikedI'm truly sorry I started this mess, and have only myself to blame. I clearly didn't accomplish my stated goal, and will therefore refrain from commenting again on this forum.Ignored
Dislikedfor a minute i thought this was another "i've found the Holy Grail" thread thank god its not besides 60% is n't that high in probability and only just over 50/50 and the coin toss method 80%+ is really only to be considered high probability (imo) 90%+ is Holy Grail (according to Google searches on the subject) although apparently many big banks do regard 60% as fine, but then they know many other tricks for MM the little retailers don't good luck anyhowIgnored
Dislikedlol @ those thinking that a win rate of 60% is not high If you had a 1:1 payoff at 60% you could make ridiculous amount of money, those saying it isn't a high probability need to catch themselves on. With such a high win rate you can up the risk. At a 60% chance of winning every trade the probability of you losing 5 trades in a row is 1 in ~100, take that out further to 10 losing trades in a row and you have you are talking about probability of 1 in ~10,000. At 5% risk you could expect to lose 50% of your account 1 in ~10,000 times. So if you can...Ignored
DislikedThe op is obviously setting you up for the world's greatest EA that you can get for an amazing price!!! Don't even bother. Here's my suggestion... open a 4 hour chart and when the price goes down Sell! Buy on the opposite. This advice is worth a hundred times more than what you'll ever get from this thread. PS I'm only here to amuse myself before the open.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Lol. I guess by reminding them that they will have to work for success, we are telling them something they don't want to hear. However, drop a few fancy words and other fairy dust and they will follow you like lapdogs. Human nature...never fails to live up to my expectations.Ignored
Disliked{quote} You know I have noticed a shift over the years, when spot was new to retailers everyone were sharing ideas and the likes and it was fun, some settled into their strategies and some kept going and everything was fine, share and share alike it was like some kind of utopia. But spot is not so new anymore, and a lot of people have settled into there ways and haven't progressed much and some have gained tremendous knowledge in that same span of time, after hard work like hell. I think the honeymoon is over,and there are traders who are going...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Humbly, I disagree. You DID in fact accomplish your goal. I made only one other post here stating that "some, a tad less puffed up on themselves", appreciate the encouragement you provided. You see, I happen to be one of those "hard at it" traders and at times feeling like that "AH HA!" moment is forever out of reach. I'm sure we've all been there. Although I imagine few will ever admit it. First to themselves let alone to others. I knew from the opening post that you weren't here to unveil some new holy grail. Or gather up lost newbies...Ignored
Disliked{quote} You know I just laugh at the kinds of people that post on here and want to ridicule people. Look at this nonsense post here about volume for example, this guy is trying to "measure" volume, anyone who has used volume knows the bullshit in this post from many angles. Years ago when I started out I researched and found the problem to this isssue, if you look on your 4 hour chart with the tick volume you will notice that each session has more volume than the next with the New York/ London overlap having the most volume all the time, and this...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Lets hit upon the point that you made which I think has great relevance. And I am sure you are talking about money flows here. I agree that volume is greater for some currencies than others at any one time, and pairing up the weakest with the strongest would be an ideal scenario for directional gain. How this is done effectively is another issue. Currency strength meters? I have a feeling these lag for any real benefit. But there is also risk on risk off, if this has any viability anymore. Some professionals argue that riskon/off is now...Ignored

Disliked{quote}The right question you should ask is, why didn't volume work this time and that time, and figure it out, you might get to the bigger picture.Ignored
