Do you believe this market is random?

Its not a coin toss, you can often accurately predict price movements on a medium to longer term. Learn the dynamics of price movement and you will see
that patterns repeat themselves as a result of order flow, loss of momentum and gain of momentum.
Open a weekly chart of Aud/Cad and look at the floor it had for many months, do you think its random that price found support at 1.000. No, that market found buyers at that level, and when price closes below that. It should act as resistance. Market dynamics 101.
Many movements of the market are random especially intraday noise. You need to find where there is likely to be more buying or selling and trade in that direction. The market it driven by supply and demand, Price is all that matters.

This is when splitting up your order over MULTIPLE entries pays off.

Do remember to set your stop loss, don't wanna be stuck in any trade when its time to get out
Nothing is random .every thing goes with in its own rules human think it is random because he dont know the rules .
if a bank buy bank price will raise this is a rule and if it took profit price will fall combined banks and hedge funds and small traders that buy and sell create the output picture because there act followed a rule and was not random the out put picture also can have a rule and logic that it move thought it .discovering such a rule needs certain capabilities and minds but they do exist and until they are discovered people will see the markets moving randomly because they can not contain or bound the move with rules in there minds

what.makes,you 'say.that,
psst psst, here's a sample of possibilities
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat

when a thing can actually have perfect 50% chance, it may still goes to 1 side, not both side, or stay in the middle
say coin toss has 50% chance, that doesn't make the result to be 50% head and 50% tail because the occurrence maybe too few
so when coin is tossed for 1 time only, we can say that the result is random

and big bang only happens once, so you may say universe is randomized.
do my mind miss something?

now your opening a can of worms !

certainly a topic i have much interest in.
The market is part random and part not random. When individual or entities would come into the market is random. They may or may not affect the prices.

The part that is not random is where the market seeks to make money from guaranteed profit. For instance, when you buy 10 and stop 5, you are guaranteeing to buy high and to sell low. Such offers of guarantees are accepted by the market most of the time, although not always. So if you have information on where such guaranteed profits are, the market becomes often predictable. People should have no trouble appreciating that the market is efficient and it will seek out all guaranteed profits, in preference to other profits needing more work.
The market is far from random. It can be looked at in a very objective manner. There are individuals out there with deep pockets that have different agendas than most retail traders, and can seem confusing initially, but I can assure you, it is not random.

Let's try once more...

If it is unpredictable/random/like latter example or worse, then what and how will you follow?
When will you enter and when will you exit?

(Most theories here on site I believe probably work only in theory but in real trading there is absolutely NEGATIVE ZERO chance for them to consistently work/produce profits in trading)

Hi Diceman
How on Earth Anybody Can Think Market is Random ? How is it Possible to Think Market is Random and Created From Randomness ?
Theres Exactly specified Price Must Be Where at Specific Times
You Must Love CandleSticks
where is the evidence that is not random? I mean scientific evidence, not someones opinion?

and really it is not what the market is that matters, it is what we perceive it to be that is important.
