Hello fti, it's been many years since I interacted with you. You once told me to to go live by mount fuji and learn to control my anger! Hard advice to take at the time but now I see it was very valuable. Hope you are doing well and your health is ...

I don't think it sounds cheesy. I am re-reading again also.

I stumbled upon a book last week called Physco-Cybernetics and read through it. It has some interesting ideas. It talks about (in theory) how our logical mind (our conscious) is not designed to solve problems. It's use is for setting goals (or ...

Ah ok your talking up to the releases. I thought you meant after the releases.

Forgive me, I'm a bit confused. If sentiment was bearish, and the adp release was bearish for the pair, why did EU rise like it did? Rising EU means depreciating USD versus EURO right? The only reason I can think of is yes in fact the ADP figure was ...

This just stood out to me. It made me realize I am depending way to much on other people here for guidance, as opposed to stating perceived problems to myself, looking for solutions and testing those solutions. I need to work through this journey on ...

Thinking a bit about this tonight while I work. So we have participant sentiment, and looking at a *longer term* chart I think it would be obvious as to what the sentiment of the majority of active participants would be (moving up, moving down, ...

Ok, something to think about. Thanks! My first thought is safety...

I think the answer to that is interest rates. Capital seeks the highest rate of return. I had some thoughts around this a few months ago. But in my studies around that it did not appear that the movement of a specific currency followed interest ...

Thanks for the reply Monroe. It seems, in reading through Darkstars posts, that I have not detected the fundamentals side of his process. He talks about liquidity, and stops, and option barriers a lot, but I can't remember much about fundamentals. I ...

So I plotted some rumors on my chart today, offers at 4435 - 4445, watched the market eat through those and move higher. Offers rumored at 4460, with sell stops above (how far above and how many unknown). It's working that level right now. More ...

This is like reading through a list of all of the threads I wasted a ton of time in!

My apologies, I had no idea you were kidding, hard to pick up subtleties like that through written word! I'll hold my tongue next time! I don't want this thread to descend into amateurish mud slinging and name calling, we already have enough of ...

Ease up on the insults, this is just a discussion.

So last night I was feeling pretty optimistic, but after reading some of the comments on here since then that optimism is fading. Last night I saw the 4600 barrier with stops above, and then the moderate buying interest 4520 and 4505 (I think it ...

Thanks for the reply!

So I don't think there ever exists a complete lack of limit orders, maybe the quote would have been better to say "the fewer limit orders the less liquidity". I was thinking the same thing. If I have decent size I want to move (either entering or ...

I read a quote in another thread a few days ago, and it keeps running through my mind now. My wall is covered with possible meanings. "A lack of limit orders leads to a lack of liquidity." I can't remember who said it or where it was (I want to say ...

Thanks for the comment.

Just posting some thought for others to comment on. FXLive says there is barrier option interest at 4550. There are sell stops between 4440 and 4410. My first reaction is those stops are out of play for today, we would need a 110 plus pip move to ...
