Disliked{quote} At least I turned 100$ into 10.000$. I can't say it more clearly. Could you sustain your words with trading results? If not, then sit down and continue learn to trade. {image}Ignored

Disliked{quote} That's completely a fallacy (aka "Appeal to Authority") and nonsense in my humble opinion. You turning x into y does not imply you are at all right on your opinion or now anything about trading. I disagree about the news and there is a solid proof for that. After news are released you will observe huge price moves many, many standard deviations bigger than range of that moment regarding the time elapsed. High impact news is what do when the expectations (by fundamentals) and the actuals (the actual news) are different. So news are not implicit...Ignored
Disliked{quote} It wasn't the head and shoulders that drove price down it was oil correlation and Canadian budget. do you honestly think professionals pump hundreds of millions into a pattern, you are deluding yourself. {image} here is a chart for the same pair you drew your little head and shoulders on. The chart shows exactly when news has affected the pair, no little patterns, no technical analysis whatsoever, it is all news flow (aka fundamentals) {image}Ignored
Disliked{quote} If a trader wants to build a system that ignores news and fundamentals, he/she will find such a system eventually. You obviously are not looking for it and if it is even handed to you on a platter, you will dump it in the garbage due to the very fact that it doesn't have news/fundamentals embedded in it. It's all good though. You can trade happily your way and others can trade happily their way.Ignored
Disliked{quote} A day or two after, the job numbers came out and sent cad soaring the opposite way despite the contrary earlier numbers. The analysts were scratching their collective heads why the figures were contradicting and causing a whipsaw. News/fundamentals are just another set of indicators with similar fallacies of any indicator. If you find such indicator works for you, great. There other ones that work just as well if not better.Ignored
DislikedAs long as one does not understand the psichology behind a trading pattern - no matter it's name, doji, head and shoulders, harami, triangle, cow, bulls, cricket, crow etc - he will remain stucked into the large amateurs groups. Ridiculising the head and shoulders pattern or any other pattern , reflect lack of fundamental knowledge about trading and usually I do not discuss with such peoples. And this time is not an exception. They are waste of time. I'm leaving this.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Who cares what the analysts think after the fact. What makes you think sentiment should hold out for 2 days off an employment report? The fact that you mention it in this context shows you do not understand how to trade or interpret the data. The employment report was a trade opportunity, It wont now, nor will it ever be able to hold sentiment for several days. Comparing fundamentals to indicators shows a lot of naivety, which comes through in your understanding of it based on your assertion.Ignored
Disliked{quote} The way you have been mentioning it is like the gravy train pull up and the conductor announces the destination and you get on and then he shouts 'all abroad' and the way we go. So its not so simple huh? You have other details and specific methods that excludes analysts? Does it exclude reading the news too? So one has to be so good to do better than analysts? If all you ate hinting at is some sort of straddle trading because you know there might be big moves either way, why not just say so? Call it what it is instead of fancy footing around...Ignored

Disliked{quote} Firstly, let me correct you on an oversight on your behalf. I have never stated i have worked at a brokerage firm but keep assuming that fella. As to your reference to news and your experience at a brokerage firm, do you even realize you are referring to stock trading while the discussion here, and the forum in general (the hint is in the name), is geared towards an entirely different market that is so large, it will swallow all your stock markets and still have left overs to chew on later. Who cares how traders in the stock market reacted...Ignored
Disliked{quote} ....I have been working with traders and analysts for years with a keen interest in the market since puberty. My first role on a trading floor was working with analysts on their research and moved up through various roles in trading divisions of investment banks and several hedge funds. It wasn't until a few years ago however when i first dipped my toes into the waters for trading. Like so many retail traders, i focused on technicals and after a while of struggles i decided to reach out to professional traders at the workplace that i had...Ignored
Disliked{quote} I think that if someone gives to you a system that is a winner, you should take it no matter if it includes news or not. I don't know if I am misunderstanding what you are saying. Why should anyone reject a good system just because it includes news/fundamentals? I would not.Ignored
