My answer would be that I can identify it when it happens but not before it happens. Generally when you go into a period of peristent lower volatility. But this is something that I am still in the first steps of learning.

If there is still volatility but no clear direction, is this what you are referring to? In that situation I guess I wouldn't be able to tell but I would still go with what I believed was the main trend.

But I would be very interested to know how I can see it before it happens. Is it possible?
ya ifi knew, i would had slept instead of risking my eyes. not woth it for 20+ pips.
Ok risk again monday
now rest. thanks sifu huang, i want to battle.
Must train, MUST train.
You can rest in peace, I rest in pieces.

I have no idea but it looks like it's a game that we (me at least) cannot play profitably.
My friend you can do it, if you say you can't you will never be able to do it.

If the EU average daily range is 120 pips then is it not possible to pull out some pips out that range.

Pull out your m5 chart and see the importance of 13235, pull out your daily chart and see what 13220 is and you will know why it was a sell.

Further draw fib on daily from 27th Oct 2011 high to 13 Jan 2012 low and you will see the importance of 38.2 level and the swing high in progress. Having said doesn't mean it will keep going down, now it might will go back up again.

Higher high higher low doesn't necessarily mean the trend has changed to the upside, it can go back to its major downtrend anytime so be not rigid and go with the flow.

All the support/resistance, fibs, moving averages are there to be broken at one point or another and nothing more than that and this is what the fallacy is all about.

I am sure "YOU CAN DO IT" otherwise you have lost it before you even have started.

Just my opinion..

Regards

PS: IF you are new to trading then you have lot to learn but not a big deal all the successful ones have learned.

Thanks. I have the motivation and determination to improve. My main background is in Science and I have also been successfully playing online poker for the last few years so I think have some of the mindset that is needed for trading and if not, at least I have lots of risk capital to take a shot. However when in congestions I only experiment with the demo account

I've been a student of FX trading since ... last October and I'm studying mainly this thread, using a simulator to follow published "dances", but also trying to get some background/general idea in Finance Maths and market microstructure. Still too early though, hopefully I can put things together at some point.

first I would like to refer to all US pairs (majors) and "say" that I see (eventually ) the usd much more down then it is now e.g. (usd-chf less then 0.8600 due to resistans at 0.9200 , also USD-CAD at 0.9450 in a few weeks ( again because of resistance at 1.0050-1.0080 area ) the NZD should jump to 0.8530 in the next few days also ( so r the AUD with 1.1018 target ) . All the above r pure resistance of trend lines...

Now for EUR-USD .... 2 scenarios to this pair....
1. move to the up side to 1.3550-1.3620 in this week to come and from there .... to less then 1.2500 ....
2. the 1.3300 tops. meaning this is the high of the next few months.
I prefered the 1st scenario.
watch it carefully. I may right on this thoughts.
good luck to all of us.

what a bunch of con.
quote piptits and make markets 15 pips spread. thats 150 piptit spreads.
Best you chaps learn how write the word shame.
what a bunch of phony whims?
i deal 95/00 up to $1
if you cannot quote then best you switch off your consoles permanently. shameless
Is already dealing day. Is so nice screw all the open interest for 15 pips. What a con.
does these brokers factor in their 15 pips spreads in when they advertise.
"Oh we quote euro average 1.8 pips 24/7."
all lies.all bullshit.
the authorities should be notified.
these lie to the public in publications.

i'll still get you when wellington comes on.
shameless broking. spit at you.
And don't deny that you not wide. Your quote is 13188/13203 euros
i hit your 88 bid and you accepted deal.
so you in fact quoting 15 pips, factor that into your average.
I have trade prove,"time and sales" if the authorities would like audit.

Best i go back interbank TMU desk for my dealings. These bunch retail brokers is not professionals.
