Hi Erebus, i was just sarcastic. Of course trends exist. Even if you trade a mean reversion system it's still trend trading in a way. Every year in the last 200+ years someone says trend is dead and still someone makes money trend trading. He ...
Yes and no. Still looking for the best setup. No such thing as best setup. So if we analyze all 28 pairs (from 8 majors currencies) we will see where the money flows. In my point of view there are points when nobody want to sell oversold currency ...
so in others words... you tray to build a diversified portfolio, define the trend, trade in the direction of the trend (medium to long term trend from what i see) using intra-day entries?
Same conclusion, i don't trade intraday anymore. I still allow myself to pyramid intraday in a long term trend sometimes: only if i already have a profit, already have another profitable pyramid in that asset and only if: something big happened in ...

"Technology change is the big driver of both wealth creation and destruction" "There are times when dreams sustain us more than facts. To read a book and surrender to a story is to keep our very humanity alive. The source of my hopes and my dreams ...
"Edge: going out and doing the work others don't want to do." "Even disciplined risk takers deal with ego." (when i will have the time i will post some articles about soros, druckenmiller etc.)
in my opinion most of the "true" edges/tricks are characterised by 3 things: simple, old, in plain sight. but the best of them, the more "robust" ones have a fourth characteristic: the human behaviour. the deeper and harder they go agains human ...
Paul Tudor Jones: kids these days don't even look at the charts anymore , they try to rationalize why something should go up or down. for the hungry minds:
