There are market situations, whether one believes it or not, that would be the equivalent of having pocket 10s in a Texas Hold 'em game. Using Martingale with any poker hand, 2,10 to A,A, is a lot different than using Martingale after a 10,10 loss, ...

Hanover, you've always been one of my favorite posters. I showed up for the first time in a year, probably more, and I have the privilege of your response. I don't use the "self-anointed" point as a jab. However, many who never even look at the data ...

I am near certain every system can either work or fail based almost entirely on the user. Martingale is no different. People here stating that it doesn't work are saying so because it failed them, or they are self-anointed statisticians who simply ...

The forex market, as with all markets, is not random. It is extremely unpredictable, but that is only because you are not controlling it. Random would suggest that there are not forces out there that do control where the price goes. If you knew ...

The wonderful thing about FX is that there are brokers out there, reputable ones, like Oanda, that allow you to put a whopping .50c at risk when you trade live. I make $10k (cash) trades occasionally, yet there are still FX trades where I set my ...

WUWWUW If the above were a generalized chart of a certain something in the trading market... which way would you "forecast" or "predict" (defined meanings per thread slightly ignored) the next direction? Up or down? The trouble with trading isn't ...

I feel like this is an oxymoron. In my experience, trading 4hr charts, there is absolutely no babysitting involved... at all. I place a trade, come back every 8, 12, hours, maybe even a couple days later, and that is that. Of course, it is all how ...

I'm not a historian, nor well-versed on government, i.e. Federation v. Confederation, but isn't the EU constructed in much a way that the U.S. would have been had the Confederate's ideals "won"? Yes, that is egocentrism, and hypothetical. All states ...

With FX, I just enter and hold. I set a SL if I guess wrong, but if right, I just let it keep going until I feel it is exhausted. Equities, I will average down. I wouldn't average up, it doesn't make sense to me... makes me feel like I missed ...

Explain what you mean further? Do you mean, buy and hold, sell and wait strategies? If so, yes. I have been just recently getting out of positions I opened late 08, early 09. That is mostly with equities though, some commodities, one forex pair. ...

Pixie, Whenever I read a thread and see the word "fear", I will say the same thing every single time... trade with smaller lots. Ten bucks is a lot to lose on a trade that might only last fifteen minutes, lets be honest. Trade as small as you have ...

Are you sure, how would you know? Looking at the graphs of most majors lately, they are up and down. For instance, the EUR/USD was 1.3250, went to 1.3550 or so, now down to 1.3400. My assumption is that you didn't enter the wrong position (way, ...

It is a weekly graph, I am sure daily could be found elsewhere. In retrospect, recent weekly drops have been far worse.

You just bumped a thread from mid 2007, of an infraction overloaded member, to pick on the lack of meaning? Wow... That made me laugh...

In forex, from what I have observed, it is simply about "trends" and nothing more. When a trend "blows up" so to say, it could be a very quick riser after a long run down, very quick faller after a long run up. Either way, it is effectively the same ...
