Thought I'd make this thread to try and steer away from technical analysis and focus more on the fundamental and strategic reasons behind daily price movements to try and get a clearer understanding of whats truly happening behind the charts.
The goal is to focus on the various participants of the markets (this may include Commodities, Equities, FX, Derivatives, etc.) It doesn't matter as long as we can focus our attention on what the guys that matter are truly doing or not doing and the reasons for their behavior.
It's not about trade calls or price predictions (directly) just an exercise in learning the who, what, where, when, why and hows of the market as a whole. Of course through understanding the goal is to make more accurate trade calls in line with the logic and current market behavior.
Charts are fine to post actually maybe necessary as long as they're supported by the reasons mentioned above and not just for some technical reason.
Anyone interested? If not I guess I'll just keep doing it in private, I just figured a discussion might get me more focused and introduce some new ideas.
Cheers
EDIT: This thread was originally posted in the Trading Discussion thread as that's more along the lines of where I wanted it to go so people are free to share and learn about a broad range of market characteristics. Unfortunately it got moved to the interactive forum so I just hope people don't get wrong idea, it's not meant to be about live trade calls although people are free to write what they want, trade calls are fine as long as they're backed by the reasons for that call. The FOCUS here is on market moving forces, not weather someone is a good price predictor because frankly we don't care. If you're gonna make a call all we care about is the reasons that lead you to that trade call. Hope that makes sense.
EDIT 2: I just want to add that posting analysis is not the only thing you can do here. Feel free to pose questions or thoughts you have about anything relating to the thread topic. It's up to you. Just please keep it on topic
