Also, the banks have retail traders on a string, if you try to trade very short time frames you'll get murdered because they know everyone uses fibbos, MA crosses, etc. and they exploit that to the hilt. This is war, chief. It is not friendly business like everyone around FF wants it to be. Nobody makes new money every day. There's only so much money to go around. It is a zero-sum game. If you make money, someone else lost it.

They cannot lie about the daily close because it's published in the Wall Street Journal. They can, however, lie all day long about the close of a 6-pip candle on a 5-minute chart, and they do...

Gann was no dumby. And for those of you who doubt or talk trash about trading using Astronomy, or other "harmonics/frequencies of life", then you should reconsider your views. Or at least look into it before you doubt it.

It's just another way to trade.

I once doubted it too until my mentor was telling me that he knows a guy who makes money in this fashion. Maybe not strictly Astronomically, but at least in the realm of the whole, "harmonics/frequencies/everything in life is linked" kind of thing.

Pretty interesting actually.

Look what ancient egyptians discovered and made while looking so much at the stars. Don't make so much fun out of things you don't have much knowledge of. Fibonnaci could be considered as one of this methods and every charting package has it and it is one of the most known and used indicator among traders. And lets not start to talk about the effectiveness of this great tool. Just from this fact you should not discard every thought about astrology and similiar methods.
I would be interested to meet a single megacap trader that is using any of this to really make money. Truth is that while many may use fibo projections to trade, it isn't worth jack on its own. The tens of thousands of other factors that a trader analyzes to make decisions do more to validate fibo then the magical hand of God has. My guess is that the great conjunction short or the meteor shower long are more examples of the same...

I'm not saying anything of this works and yet I don't say it doesn't. Even if something works for me, it might not work for you. But I am open minded and open to the possibility. If you're not open to the possibility you will never know all the benefits. All I am trying to say is that "six" started this thread in the hope of learning something from someone. I and many others are interested in this topic too and you should give us some respect and allow us to communicate without all your negative posts. If you don't believe in this then by all means don't! If you don't have anything usefull to add, then please hold your thoughts and don't write anything. Stop and continue your journey elsewhere. But if once in future you will become interested in this topic I am sure everyone will accept you with open arms.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see many big name posters giving positive opinions in this thread.

Although the science has developed considerably in the last couple of hundreds years, we have barely scratched the surface of what really is out there.
This by itself does not directly mean astrology, numerology or divination will be beneficial to trading forex but I dare to be open to new ideas...just because I can.
Who knows one day you might save yourself from blowing up your trading account...because your astrological/numerological indicators told you to stay out for that day or something.

Yeah, I agree.
Normally, unless that someone who leaves negative comments has extensive experience with the very topic of the thread, it does not add anything to the thread...it makes people tired of protecting the thread and forget about discussing what they really like to discuss.

Hi darkstar, is the Bank of Japan big enuff for you as a megacap trader?

http://www.boj.or.jp/en/type/exp/faqkainy.htm

its in the day in a life of a BOJ trader artical on the bottom of the page.


...This means that the market has to be analyzed from the standpoints of various areas such as macroeconomic analysis, time-series analysis (which requires sophisticated econometric methods), historical studies, political analysis, and even astrology. Thus, we have to keep on obtaining and analyzing information throughout the day.

otherwise I'd be avoiding any prices with '4' (death) in it, like the plague...

and buying anything with 8's (prosperity?) and 9's (longevity?) like crazy...

I remember reading that in 1988, HK had a (by far) larger # of births than any previous year... being such an auspicious year, that is.

Bear in mind, it's not so much just guessing and whatnot... or something like psychics or something... It's more of how the whole world is a natural rhythm with everything else, including the universe...

I know for a fact that people have used these ideas and made money. Don't discount it.

Now, I, for one, won't use it, because it's just not my style... but once again, like everything else, it's another way to trade.

I have seen a man forecasting the Wheat futures with Astrology/Astronomy cycles applied to the chart. The exact day for the top and price as well several weeks in advance. He had studied "Tunnel through the air" By Gann. But itīs still about probabilities of course.

Okay, Mr. Trend, a mentor of mine also showed me how a coin flip works at 3:1 risk/reward. Anything works with proper money management, it's just that some work better than others...

I use a Ouija board. I've lost over $20,000 now, but it tells me that if I keep replenishing my account I'll be a millionaire if the moon lines up with Mars and I let gypsy fourtune tellers clean my money first. The only problem is that they usually run off with it...

This is even funnier. I was drinking beer just now, and I went to take a whizz. I was simultaneously whizzing while attempting to light a cigarette, and was very fearful of accidentally dropping my lighter in the toilet. I thought to myself, I said, self, what is the risk/reward of lighting this cigarette right now, and risking dropping my lighter in the toilet because I'm drunk, or waiting until I'm done with this piss, and lighting my cigarette later?

Relate that thinking to forex. Don't accidentally drop your cigarette lighter in the toilet because you can't wait another 2 minutes to light your cigarette...

When a trade goes against me I turn to my comp and say, "you betrayed Sheeba", then rip out its motherboard. Other than that I don't get into too much metaphysical stuff.

CIA researched remote viewing or still do http://www.fas.org/irp/program/collect/stargate.htm

"The initial research program, called SCANATE [scan by coordinate] was funded by CIA beginning in 1970. Remote viewing research began in 1972 at the Stanford Research Institute [SRI] in Menlo Park, CA. This work was conducted by Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff, once with the NSA and at the time a Scientologist. The effort initially focused on a few "gifted individuals" such as New York artist Ingo Swann, an OT Level VII Scientologist. Many of the SRI "empaths" were from the Church of Scientology. Individuals who appeared to show potential were trained and taught to use talents for "psychic warfare." The minimum accuracy needed by the clients was said to be 65%, and proponents claim that in the later stages of the training effort, this accuracy level was "often consistently exceeded." "

Hi,

Can we at least agree that there's more than one way to skin a cat in FOREX? Can we also agree that everyone has to find a trade style that suits them and makes sense to them?

The key here is "makes sense". What does that mean? To me, it means that the premise upon which my trade decision is based is grounded in some kind of agreement with how I think reality operates. The market is just a reflection of that reality.

You can view market behavior through any kind of lens you want. Each lens is a different worldview. But if the lens is not giving you a clear picture, you need to change lenses.

To me, the FOREX is confusing enough on its own without having to learn astrology in order to "see" it clearly. But I can see how if someone already sees reality operating this way, then they would be able to see the behavior of the market clearly within that context.

There's nothing wrong with this. I personally view using fundamentals for trade triggers as a form of prognostication, but instead of using planetary alignments you're using economic data. It's still prognostication, no matter what tool you use. Not right or wrong, just a different lens.

Cheers
AFF
