The only thread you will ever need: FX Exposed!

Yes some house cleaning. After that, from the charts we can see that the chance of it going to stop out the accumulations below is high provided the accumulations removed by the traders. This may change if more shorties come into the picture.. You can see that the last 10 hours there are more shorties coming into the picture from the red bars below. Since there is no update yet, after the price movements next few days we might be able to start discussing the possibilities using naked charts.

"I am speechless and embarrassed that I never heard about this genius in mathematics. "

No worries, never too late.

YES, there are also DARK forces in academics.

Ppl who are aware of Mandelbrot's work KNOW that he SHOULD have received a nobel price for it.

Instead, these were given to other "mainstream" researchers.

Do you see the pattern?

FF

"Whew! I am feeling beyond good knowing now that there is a "formula" out there thar can be applied to any thing out there LOL"

The world is FRACTAL.

YES, even metaphysical things.

For example, did you realize that when you go to sleep everynight and wake up in the morning, this kind of resembles your whole life where you get born and die?

Do you see the self-affinity?

But I better stop here.

FF

Thanks for posting the same price but were they entered at the same time?

"
We have to look at the inside or the inside or the inside of the inside just like Mr Mandelbrot explains using Cauliflower as an example.
Connecting the dots in a multi-dimentional plane of price movements is the key to truly understand the fractal nature of price structure.
What a Genius! Thanks for the introduction."


YES.

Also look up "fractal dimension" and the "hurst exponent".

What you did intuitively VEEFX, was done by Mandelbrot in a formal way.

You will LOVE it because it also will give you a language that is more understandable.

Mandelbrot was able to model the "roughness", "chaos", "multi dimensional, non-linear, irregular" nature of markets with his formulas.

But I better stop here.

"Looks like they made some house cleaning during the night"

tonnikala,

yes,

but look at the DM shorties who came in (red bars in last chart).

The SM killed these. They tried to trade a trend resumption OUTTER RANGE.

Do you see now why I made you aware of OR vs IR before?

;-)

Stay safe.

GOOD IDEA.

I think about sth. like that.

FF

I TP on my long scalp GU from yesterday.

That was an advanced trade.

Anyone who wants to have a go at the analysis?

FF

"as this move carries the potential to create a massive divide on the forums"


Well, there is already a NATURAL division between ppl who ACTUALLY trade and the ones ust talking about it.

There is another one between ppl that lose money and the ones who have sth. that ACTUALLY works.

Now,

it is obvious that the group of unsuccessfull traders is over-represented here and these also tend to post a lot.

QUALITY first.

Look, 4 years ago, I looked a bit at the threats here........then I took some years off again, to focus exclusively on my trading, development etc.

THEN, once this process was finished (to a high percentage), I came back now in 2018 and to HELP others.

I have done PRE-WORK before, over 1.5 years, which is documented on youtube.

THIS is the reason why my work here is based on evidence and a strong BASIS.

But these days, WHO is still willing to go through all that? And to deliver VALUE without getting paid?

NOT MANY.

THINK about that.

FF

And please understand once and for all:


I show you the ACTUAL market CAUSALITY.

NOW, from a trader's perspective, there are DIFFERENT ways of how to play it, ranging from CONSERVATIVE to AGGRESSIVE.

I have documented MY APPROACH on youtube.

But as I have explained in the educational video, YOU may find your OWN way.

There is not "one right way" only.

That is also why I do NOT want to do a signal service.

Do you understand?

For example,

some ppl may ONLY trade large DM accumulations (do not come every day).

Others may want to scalp a lot, with tighter stops (and less pairs).

Others just want to catch some long-term trends on the daily.

DO you understand?

I have chosen to evaluate setups with POSITION SIZING.

So, i.e. if there is a VERY STRONG DM BIAS, I would leverage proportionally more as compared to a MEDIUM BIAS.

It ain't rocket science. BUT, as Einstein said, make your model as simple as possible, BUT NOT SIMPLER.

Mandelbrot's perspective on market efficiency:

Hi FractalFreak,
you have stated a number of times that you show15m & 4h charts.
Is that because
1. you favour those time frames; or
2. those time frames are used by SM or market makers; or
3. another reason ?

"3. another reason "

Silverau,

there are specific reasons.

For example, there is a specific dynamic on the H4 TF which I have not elaborated on so far.

Also, the "speed" of the market from OUR perspective is relevant.

Looking at the M5 often leads to TOO MANY trades on OUR side, if you see what I mean.

Better concentrate on the OBVIOUS setups. DO not be a rambo. ;-)
