How's it going everybody. FTI, I'm reading "Trading and Exchanges" - it's full of things I really wanted to learn.Thanks for suggesting it. I reached the chapter about arbitrageurs, where I read an example of three legged currency arbitrage using ...

I was expecting some choppy stop-hunting action before NFP but I couldn't believe it would be of this magnitude. Such a big push at the end of Europe session, wow. Luckily, I was on the right side of the trade in EUR/USD and when it went through the ...

Fti, I really enjoyed the discussion you had with tubguy from this post on. It was really useful to me, although I wasn't watching the market while you were posting charts and discussing them. The " bids on the right side of the chart and the trap ...

FTI, thanks for your answer. Yeah my worries are mainly for my emotional stability. Next year I'll be with a 10 times bigger account, but I don't think I would be able to increase position sizes tenfold right away. I plan to start with 3 times ...

Hi, FTI, I'm glad you're back I must admit I was kind of worried when you disappeared and nobody had any news of you. I've been rereading things you have posted on the thread and doing my ants work in the market for the last year and some months. ...

HAPPY NEW YEAR, PEOPLE !!! MAY 2012 BRING YOU GOOD HEALTH AND A LOT OF JOY ( AND LOT'S OF PIPS, OF COURSE )

Thank you BOJ Payday for me also. I've positioned myself for a couple of weeks, and at last BOJ and Japan MOF made this payday come true 25% profit with such a small exposition - what else can you call it other than payday Good trading to ...

Nice to see you actively posting in your journal, GeFX I tend to draw the TLs the same way and it's working for me nicely. However, I don't spend so much time trading lately, but it's pleasure to see how this type of analysis detects ...

That's cool Let's all say how important FTI is to us ( his students, friends, etc.), so that he get's a whole squad of guardian angels assigned to him

Ok, USA, printing paper money and all the world get's the resultant inflation. On top of that USA experinces the lowest levels of infaltion compared to all the rest. How come? Just a coincidence or the way things work in the global financial system? ...

Yeah, Lusan has to post some tomatto blotter here Just kidding here, GeFX, I couldn't refrain Happy trading all

Just like in casinos, if you count cards on the blackjack table and start winning a lot, the bulky guys come to make sure you stop winning Since ECB are expected to rise rates more in the future, market participants seem to be positioning ...

This kind of honest explanations are very important for beginners, I mensioned the brokers propaganda in my previous post, because it sets certain expectations and attitude to trading in the heads of FX beginners. So while trying to meet these ...

Very well said FTI. Unfortunately I found this to be the truth going the hard way, since I learned about Forex while searching for a job. There was broker( I didn't know then that it was a broker) offering job positions for finacial analyst(as far ...

CindyXXXX, they have probably quoted the value to which the treasury yield has gone to, not the amount it has risen. Bloomberg, Reuters and all other sites that offer qoutes of yields can be found by a google search, as easy as that. The only ...

Hey, Atomic. You have fucked up majorly, but there is no need to look from hindsight and say to yourself " Ouh, see this is where I made a mistake next time I won't enter long like that". Next time it will be different from the last time, even after ...

Thank you for your explanation, Baifu. Very nice Happy trading everyone and God bless you fti.

I didn't expect so much action before fomc today. It started bad for me today but eventually I got out +5 pips for the day by fading the stop sweep below E/u 1.3475. I'm done for the day, only little long scout left. This up move started before the ...

I agree with the above. You can use those TA tools to a crack in a wall or some other chart, not necessarily a price chart. They seem to work perfectly somotimes except for candles, I haven't seen those in cracks Anyway, I don't think the ...

I've tried something like your approach with real money. It seem to work to a certain exent but there were times when I was overexposed and an adverse move would be very very painful. As far as the thread is concerned, while averaging and waiting PA ...
