I use a few brokers and oanda is one of them. All of them are regulated and all of them are good and bad for different reasons, I adapt to them. I choose not to chase the bad "guys" in a game that is bigger then me... but use what they offer at my ...

All I wrote is that the guys in London, were manipulating a bunch of pips and got the sack and the legal trouble. They could not create a trend like eurusd, and they didn't. The central banks are a different story. A chain reaction is a different ...

Denying manipulation in 2015 is like living in The Truman Show. What kind of manipulation is in act should be the question.

So.. How would you call the euro cap made by SNB? isn't that pure manipulation? Do you think that if ECB didn't like the euro a this level.. you would actually find it there now? do you think they are surprised as most of the traders and economist? ...

I'll try to give a practical example of what was going on in London. Bob, the trader of X bank, knows about a huge, massive client order at a determined price. At this point, aggregated with other traders working for other banks and funds, via ...

You can consider it natural... legally, you get arrested, as those guys did in London. Dude, I never said that that kind of move is manipulated to the pip. I am just saying that you can not deny manipulation in today's market. I actually specified ...

I wouldn't deny manipulation, as I wouldn't deny randomness and many other factors that I believe contribute to the markets.... You can't deny the existence of something recognized publicly: url url url url This is pure manipulation by major ...

I think there different levels of manipulation. The one you refer to, is illegal. It's been in practice for a long time, but several people have been fired and arrested. In London few years ago, a group of traders working for different institution ...

With those %... you'll be a millionaire in two years starting with 1000$... I'll be back in two years.

It actually makes perfect sense that this thread is in the Rookie section! one day, when you'll take the blue pill, you will all move on... maybe, or maybe not! at the end we all need counterparts, don't we? so... who cares

In the factory there are two distinguished types of traders: Type 1: The only certainty is that nothing is certain. You win and you lose, your whole trading account is at risk, control the risk and do your math. Martingale and holy grail are not an ...

In my opinion the best signal is the old school high and low sequence, confirmed by the reaction on trendlines on the daily chart.

What I find amusing is that lots of mathematicians and risk analysts who make a living employed by the city and wall street accept randomness. Once again, not that the market is random, but that randomness needs to be considered for survival in this ...

great post To prove that the market has not randomness, 1 chart is not enough, what about 1000 chart with perfect mathematical pip touch and bounce? There are no valid research done out of one sample, not even 10... If the market did not ...

"If you put an INFINITE number of monkeys on typewriters one of them will eventually produce Hamlet, Shakespeare". Although there's no chance that the same monkey will produce Romeo and Juliet if given time. Pattern exist because humans form them, ...
