He saw net stop cloud above and perhaps with confluence of retail sentiment. Hence the long trade. However, as I said, Market Makers are subject to constraints in making stop run. They only hunt the stop 40% of times when there is one nearby.

Yes, if that, most of the time it will only take out the previous high's by a few pips, then back into range, more accumulation, 'Time and Range' as he says, we all know this, he says all this stuff is New revelation, it's accumumulation/distribution, as explained by Richard Wyckoff, and he died in 1934, so NOT that new.

The thing is, FF was only introduced to forex a couple of years ago, we know that from his postings on MQL forum, he's picked up the theories like we all have, got really excited about it, happened upon a fancy indicator that 'displays' this, and gone for it, started trading, started a thread thinking he knows how to trade, BUT we've all been there, how many times have we all seen stuff that we understand, know it works, but implementing it and profiting from it, is a different ball game alltogether, and no matter what he will not accept or admit this, the sooner he does, the sooner he will have the slimest of chances to succeed, but from what I've seen, I don;t think it's going to happen.

Precisely. I made some back test with Oanda's open data via their API and came to the same conclusion.. It'good to know where retail sells and buys but it's not enough for claiming the cluster will be consumed by MM.
Some time ago I tried to explain to FF that liquidity provided by MM's is what drives price changes and not liquidity provided by small amount of retailers. He rejected this "idea" as not proved and not right

Just tiny.

IMO FF is confused by thinking he sees order book and so sees whole "market" hence the theory about smart money, dumb money blablabla which he thinks as his "invention"...

FF's latest youtube video as of that post was about the flash crash. It only talked in general term about the move of several currencies during the flash crash , against DM sentiment. Obviously Fractal didn't predict the flash crash. Otherwise he would have made screenshots of orderbooks before the crash and shown them in the video. The video was of mediocre to low quality, even at Fractal's own standard, worse than most of his videos. There's no one in the world could make "awesome pips" based on that video. If any of Fractal's videos helped any trader make "awesome pips", definitely it is not "the latest video". The link for the video is here. You can judge for yourself: -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz1A4O_Eypc

I don't think Vale had watched that video when he wrote that ass licking post. Otherwise he would've chosen some other video to flatter on.

An advice for Vale, next time you lick Fractal' ass, do watch the video. Can someone post this in Fractal's thread for Vale to read ?

a FAQ
on one hand, maybe not that tiny, if consider that large players has usually no leverage at all, or maybe very modest.
the same time retailers frequently trade 1:500 to 1:3000, and i believe some broker like Exness introduced 'unlimited' leverage a while back on smaller accounts.

add to this the frequency, bcos larger players for many reasons not tend to trade that frequently.
on the other hand, a huge %age of retail brokers at best using a hybrid model, if not outright bucket shop, so, is that really count toward the daily turnover, or not, as never really appear anywhere in real market.

just looked up, this month i made something of 645 lot volume, that equals to 64 million USD.
of course a scalper makes relative frequent and relative higher volume trades.
in comparison this account is a 5 digit one.
now, think a 500-million hedge fund decide to enter EurAud, with their 10% net worth size....that is 50 million, at 1:1 leverage.

how crazy to think that Profitfarmer with funds 1000 times smaller trades more volume that the position a medium size hedge fund takes?
i would say very.
again, more than likely most of my trades never really left my broker.

i know there may have been 1000s of funds, but the same notion, there is probably millions of Profitfarmers out there, too.
conclusion: the number is still a debate, and i am not sure what to believe, but nor it really have an immediate impact on me this point.
should i lose sleep about it? dont think so!

happy trading!

I have the Darkstar ebook too. I find it helpful. Darkstar, James 16 and Mr Special Case have something in common. There is value in what they preach. Yet none of them is a profitable trader.

it's not hard to regurgitate shit you read online or heard from someone.

a noob comes to forexfactory will sound like an expert in couple of months with all the stupid trading cliches.

at this point, can we agree that unless the teacher can demonstrate trading abilities live is a requirement?..(instead of posting after the fact charts)

Agree Hilmy.

This is the perfect portrait of FractalFreak.

He arrived here regurgitating the shit he read online or heard from someone.

And he came on ForexFactory as a noob because all we remember the noob questions posted by Fractal on Mql5 site ( "How do I install an indicator ? ").

And yes , the teacher must demonstrate trading abilities Live as a requirement , instead of posting after the fact charts.

But FractalFreak has never shown his LIVE account.

With his only two LIVE trades he lost many hundreds of pips .

He never posted his TE or myFxbook.

He never posted his certified results.

Someone says that Fractal is not even a trader ...
