What a long time since my last post and what a journey! I have moved on to become kind of a fire fighter for a bank in emerging markets in Africa. Really exciting journey these past few years and really enjoying all the travelling, managed to put ...

Hi — Hi guys and girls, After a long absense from FF I have got a few minutes to post! I am currently in San Francisco until 18 October, visiting my last "student" of the past 2 odd years. It has been a fairly entertaining 2 years in the ...

Hiya — Still around but seems like the only time I can get to surf is when I get a new post on this thread and get reminded to look in here. I will see if I can make some time this weekend to comment on the EURGBP movement of late...

NFP - Phew! — Well well well EUR has moved up more than GBP, relatively. So I ask myself why previously have the GBP been the one moving up say 100 and EUR only 80 while today GBP is lagging EUR? Is this telling us something about a possible ...

Feeling negative — Our traders are feeling negative on GBP - not me. as my response to the chart should have shown - I am still aiming at the previous top (real world) which is the same as aiming for the previous bottom in your thought ...

Yes — Yes on the initial sell target the previous low. On the stop-and-reverse target intermediate top. hope this clarifies...bastardo!

Geeeeeezzzzz — Not having any fundamentals on this makes it difficult - if there is a gun against my head I would say - the orange line you are at, at the moment didn't hold as previous resistance (earlier it fell through it to make a brand ...

Expectations — I seldom have targets as it feels too much like cutting profits - BUT yes there are natural areas like previous highs/round numbers where you would like to decrease positions. The feeling at the moment is very negative on the ...

Pivots — Pivots are self-fullfilling prophecies. Look at when pivots are mentioned in this forum and it is followed by 100 questions about what time you use to calculate them. The mere fact that pivots can be calculated at different times ...

Still around — hi people, It's been a rough ride but if you have a plan you come out on the other side as expected, whether at a loss or win doesn't matter just as long as you planned for it. It's difficult to say exactly how our traders ...

Current — Hi people, Ermm, to answer the last two posters... Firstly, yes you can be wrong a large percentage of the time even up to 80% of the time but boy is that 20% sweet! Thats all you need, I've known a guy who could only scratch out 1 ...

Afraid — My biggest fear in a market moving like the current one where one can almost feel the anticipation is not having a position and not taking one thats the reason for still having some in the eurgbp. it almost feels like we are at a ...

EURGBP — Yes matey still short EURGBP, only 10% of my original position left and looking to add to it at 6780, 6760 and then see if it can continue down if it goes higher then i will close all and re-evaluate my campaign on it - at the moment ...

Secrets — MrFuture, Basically we would have meetings on Mondays and express our thoughts so everyone knew what the others were thinking. We also received info on expected client flows and big deals we would do in that week that could affect ...

turret — turret, your point 7 hits the nail on the head. who cares about the news the position is already on...news will confirm it or give the opportunity to evaluate the impact. these guys are in for the long haul. you can't turn a position ...

Philosophy — Philosophy is the discipline concerned with questions of how one should live. If we apply this to trading then it makes sense to answer certain questions. There is a saying that the strongest force in the universe is the force ...

??funguy?? — No I am not saying this I think I have mentioned before that nobody have a crystal ball. However, you can trade in the direction of the information you have available and often new information coming out supports your current data ...

What? — Thanks MTuppers... This will really come in handy and clearly links into the topic of this thread, if only I knew this ten years ago... This comment of mine above is the topic I would like to discuss... Why would anybody post such a ...

Fundamentals — Some interesting fundamental VIEWS...This is the kind of articles I like reading to gain insight into the markets. It either confirms what I think given the HARD fundamentals like CPI etc or it will dispute my view, it might ...

Long term — Inflection, Maybe just one quick comment on your results and something that might later prove worthwhile should you take this method further. If you remove just 12 of your most profitable trades out of 780 odd trades then you sit ...
