The only thread you will ever need: FX Exposed!

Hi FF I have a quick question for you. Is trading long term with large account with low leverage with swaps on my side a good idea? how does SM deal with positions that are based on weekly/monthly charts? Or are swaps just a way to get people into large DD? Because i have been doing decent trading like this for the last several months and just want to know if its a illusion...lol

Thank you so much for any advice you might have. )

New video on "news":

Even if most of the people here on ff cannot understand and appreciate what you do, there are others who recognize, acknowledge and respect all the time you spent in past and right now. Some others they just can't find the right questions to ask you and from where to begin!
Only those who had invest a lot of time and passion can understand you. Thank you for your time and intention

Hallo dear,

first of all, please watch the video above adressing a question by another member here.

Unfortunately, the SM cartel has specific tricks against FX long term traders, in particular ppl trying to catch trends on longer time frames.

As shown in my latest video, they i.e. use news for exaggerated moves agains the DM, often taken back the complete profit and more from trend traders, or kicking them out quickly if they trail.

Long-term trading is no answer to the manipulation, because:
if you trade with low leverage, you may be able to avoid some of the stop-outs, HOWEVER, therefore your return will obviously be limited as well.

HAVING said that, your chances as a DM trader to lose less are higher on higher timeframe as compared to lower timeframes (H1 and below) because the SM has a particular set of tricks for taking out short-term traders and scalpers FIRST. I will explain that in the future.

Yes, "sticky DM positions" will end up in DD eventually...

Regarding the swaps; this is a trick to make sure that if manual traders hedge rather than getting stopped out, they lose while holding the hedge. Officially, they say that "swaps" can also go in your favor. Well, they say the same about slippage.

Do you understand what I am saying?

Stay safe.

anlod,

you are welcome,
I do this here for ppl like you.

Guys, do you understand the things I am saying in the new video on News?
Any more questions there?

FractalFreak, have you ever thought about liquidity vacuum and how it affects price movement during news?

"FractalFreak, have you ever thought about liquidity vacuum and how it affects price movement during news? "

mades,

believe it or not,
but "liquidity vacuums" as well as "fat finger effects" are pure fairy tales.
All of these phenomena are "stop runs" or similar in the end.

But these are advanced topics.

Basics first.

Stay safe,

FF

Note:

The VERY advanced topic of "smart money vs semi-smart money" will only be covered at a very late stage, if at all.

Excellent video, Brother. During news events, if traders choose to enter trades manually and not pending orders, their orders get filled far away using slippages and also spreads widen - another huge disadvantage for the Retail trader.

Keep it going and God bless you for the effort and time you are investing in educating folks here.

Speak English please

Unfortunately that tells me that you don't understand the basics of how the price moves. What makes it tick up or down and why price can jump suddenly let's say 10 pips.

Liquidity vacuum is not a fairy tale. It has nothing to do with fat finger too, it is a part of mechanics of how prices are quoted. I really, really suggest you to google the term and dig deeper.

By the way, do you have an idea how much capital is needed during EU/US overlap to move major pair by 1 pip? That information is available from the report of Bank of Japan.

You present your own observations as facts. While some of them are likely true (like price attracting certain levels only to reverse, that is called momentum ignition), others are just subjective observations with fancy names.

"Liquidity vacuum is not a fairy tale."


Of course what does exit is "thin market effects" etc., but all of these things are in FULL control of the SM.

However, these are quite ADVANCED topics. I would prefer to not elaborate further.

You are free to do your own observations / conclusions / etc.

Just consider where my confidence comes from.

Stay safe,
FF

"By the way, do you have an idea how much capital is needed during EU/US overlap to move major pair by 1 pip?"

Yes, Id o have a pretty good idea.

And I have seen some traders before falling for the following INCORRECT conclusion:

"EURUSD is the world's biggest market. So nobody can manipulate it. So I better trade that one."

NO! EU is MOST manipulated BECAUSE it is the biggest market. No surprise you can trade it for 0.3p and less.

Amazed to see this chart moving slowly to take out the SL.
My prediction was right but just after watching your educational videos.
Thanks

"others are just subjective observations with fancy names"

mades,
how would you even KNOW that?

Does the content I showed so far not demonstrate to you, that I know EXACTLY what I am talking about here?

Well, draw your own conclusions.

These topics such as "gapping" etc. are not relevant for now. But YES, I have the evidence.

"

YES dear!

I LIKE U!

You were there from Day 1 as well.

Keep up the good work!

;-)

"Amazed to see this chart moving slowly to take out the SL."

YES.

Remember:

"time & range".....................

The SM Cartel uses both factors to the max.

no need to rush........no need to get detected..............................playing with your human mind and its perceptions of time & movement...

FF

Here another PEARL (video coming in the future):


If the DM pulls away their stops, the SM does NOT run behind them!

The opposite!

They go into the opposite direction..........once the DM pulls closer again, they go for the run..

It is almost like a dance......

I may put some evidence together regarding that important topic........
