Hi bull.bear, I studied two strategies that define when the odds are in your favor, and scale in into a position. In other words, if instead of placing your full position at one price, the speculator would scale in, then you are increasing risk as ...

Hi bull.bear, I agree. Speculators wants to increase risk as we are right regarding a move and decrease risk when we are wrong. I like your suggestion as to how to scale out of trades, when the trade goes wrong. Scaling out of wrong position is ...

I totally agree with you. If you are very focused for a long period of time in how you want to measure the market using a quantitavie strategy, you will eventually find it. On the other hand, studying fundamentals and understanding the "cause" can ...

"The accounts of the Moving Group should be afforded preferential treatment as "customer property" persuant to the plain language of Subchapter IV of the Bankruptcy Code, and in consideration of its place in the overall statutory scheme." That's ...

That happens to most of us. I think that if you change your approach a bit, and take the angle that you are trading a whole account, and not one trade, then you will never move your stoploss in the future. Profiting from speculation can only be done ...

Thanks bull.bear - I really like the way you are analyzing the market, so I have many questions about your work. First, I want to find out your definition of trend. It looks like you used a 14 period ATR to measure volatility, and hence, define ...

This has to be one of my favorite threads in this forum! Nice work. I just read your pdf regarding candle stick probability of CO- and CO+, and saw how you applied ATR and you noticed that price behaves more like trading. Can you define trending, ...

Hi, I think that this subject may need to be simplified. First, a trader may want to explore the variables offered by the market. For example, in stock you get the following information from the exchanges: 1. the open 2. the close 3. the high 4. the ...

I agree, the ideal trader must be an excellent student. She/he must study even the Dalai Lama - lol! I haven't studied the random walk theory much, but will make sure to take some time this weekend to brush up.

Hi mkser, That is awsome that you been trading for 6 years. I remember when I first started my journey to learn how to trade, and thought it was going to be about 6 months before I became a billionnaire. 8 years later, I am a lot better, but still ...

Hi, Technical analysis is a valid method to analyze the market. The problem I find is that TA is not as obvious as so many may think. For example, how many traders know that a MACD is the spread of two moving averages? and that spread has another ...

I think I may have something different for you. If you lived in Australia, your currency is the Australian Dollar, and you had a global business where every month you would bring back home the profit made globaly, and all is in equal billions of AUD ...

Hi richdadeze, When drawing an s/r line, first thing that comes to mind is materiality. That means two things, time frame and time spent around a price level - for a horizontal line, or times a trend hits a trendline. A time frame of Daily bars is a ...

Hi OP, Looking at your chart, it looks like to me that you are trading a moving average. You appeared to have broken down the trend into 4 segments: 1. when the moving average is bullish, and price is above the "cloud" 2. when price is reversing to ...

The CFTC protects client funds by requiring the FCMs to place seperately customer funds, in a legally defined account called seg account. By legally protecting the money the CFTC does not allow the firm to use customer funds for its operations. If ...

Hi Dunstan, I really like your work. The only thing I can find that I don't completely agree with is the picking of tops and bottoms.... I don't think it necessary - and it maybe a bit too risky. I think I would go with the trend, as every week one ...

Old thread, but good questions. I learned that a trader focus is very important. The areas of focus are very subtle. Ironically enough, these areas are also very simple. I learned that no matter how many times I have failed, if I get up the next ...

I agree. Regulators have lost more than $1 billion of customer funds, and that money was segregated, or legally protected. Forex traders monies would pay the FDMs creditors if any of these FDMs go belly up. In other words, most likely we won't get ...

I wanted to write this commnet for the CFTC, however, it appears that the comment period is over. It still needs editing. Anyone wants to add anything else? Dear CFTC, I beleive that the role of the regulator is to protect the public, and not to ...

This is what disappoints me: url The NFA still hasn't acknowledge that forex customer funds also need legal protection. I really don't understand the reason behind it... To be cynical, perhaps they refuse to provide the level of confidence to FDMs ...
