{quote} Grids with martingale? Sustainable long-term? I've never seen it in 10 years. A few months, and it's gone! Of course you can withdraw profits now and then, but you'll never know which month will be the good or the bad one...
I think who needed to see it already did. LDFX is well aware of what can be accomplished with methods he doesn't approve of. Not only that post but we have been in touch. He is just phishing.

Well yet not moodybot, rickm and outthere has answered this very simple question ; Why would take an opposite trade on same pair/timeframe instead of stop reversing it ?
Why did Gandalf whisper into a moth and turn it into a huge bird to carry him off Sauron's tower? Why didn't he just get into the elevator and press the button to go down?

Childish questions. You need to actually step away from your comfort zone once in a while and actually take a step towards finding the answer. If the answer is not given to you on a silver platter, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It means you haven't earned the rights to it. \

Till then, you can keep wondering how and why.

{quote} You need to research how liquidity is affected by low volume orders that surround vacuums. All is not what it seems -
Well, thanks. I suppose this also "answers" my genuine question about it?

Then I think it would imply that retailers are only trading... inside the broker's "artificial market" and against each other?
Wouldn't that change the position/distance of these "boundaries/vacuums" between different brokers?
(Also meaning that you couldn't always trade them "to the pip").

If that's not the case (which I believe), then I don't understand how such low volume could affect REAL inter-bank price levels.
And if it's true, then our charts would substantially differ from the professional ones, which I KNOW (from serious inside sources) isn't happening.

We're talking about MAJOR FIAT CURRENCIES here, not penny stocks or thin cryptos...

---

So again, please:

How do you correctly measure (with good enough precision) those "order-books" from retail brokers servers, without a proper DOM from a centralized exchange (like for example the CME or ICE)? Just by guessing and "picturing" them based on quick price movement/reactions alone?

Even with Futures is very difficult to do it consistently. And our time-charts only visually represent the roads that price has already traveled in the past (pure history, even within in M1 time-frames).

EDIT: I'm not doubting what you can do or asking for your secrets; but just trying to somehow understand more of this confusing playground, as I'm clearly missing something important. Any clues at least?

And no-one should be convinced by anyones words, whether there is a hedging practice that firstly (as MZ pointed out) positively affects margin, secondly where it can be commission-reduced (as Moody pointed out), and thirdly where it can be used to “maximise” profits (in a small way only maybe, but yes) when price initially runs against you (as RickM pointed out). I guess “try it” (demo first preferably) is the answer to this discussion rather than argument and ad-hominen usage and attempted belittlements (imo). and all the best to all on NFP Friday....
Do you read the reply to specific questions?
You think the logic is acceptable?
You think the doubters have not tested it themselves?
And you think they are the novice, naive, stupid and lazy crowd?
That must also mean you believe you belong to the elite club, creme de la creme.
The top dog has spoken, pipe down to listen to the wisdom from the best.
You must also believe the community has to thank you for the effort to type this eloquent post.

That's a lot of assumptions on your part.

The signature pattern from your private elite creme de la creme club is to compare dick then discredit the other person.

That's how simple to identify club members.

Don't forget this is a discussion. Or have you forgotten.

That's rather unjust BWilliam, I had you down different to that...Pete is a top bloke, and I can assure you that there is no elite club.
If you would like to know when I last spoke to George, Zoltan, Kevin etc then in private I will tell you and it was more than two months ago, I'm sure that Pete, Zoltan and Kevin would also say the same.
George wouldn't waste his time, he would just minimise your post and say it was just noise.
The thread is a discussion around the merits of Hedging. Some of us use it, some don't, but the old story of it costs too much has been disproved.
The link is in the thread.

I asked a single question here, only one.

Don't assume anything else pls.

About that private elite club.

Am I wrong to say that the imposed standards today is to show your dick before you are qualified to type any comment?

That the value of anyone's post is directly proportional to his dick size?

Once a club member always a club member. It's in your dna.

Pete is a top dog, so say you.

And everyone else dumb.

I have politely requested for live calls.

Hi BWilliam My strategy is to utilize Thin Liquidity issues seen on our brokers servers and use these vacuums to support my positions. I know that every meaningful order on a chart sits within a narrow price band averaging only about 30 pips for many pairs. When price moves out towards the boundary of the order book towards its edge, it enters into my playground zone. Here I can seek a position when I believe there is a vacuum of orders within 1-2 pips ahead of my position. I will take a trade knowing I am trading against helpless major...
Hi RickM, remember my request for your last 10 trades, 10signals to be specific with hedge until completion. Send it to my pm pls. Thanks

You know my purpose. It remains private. And no silly comments. None.

Elsewhere in other threads I have given live calls, put my neck on the line, been there done that.
And that's rare, don't see too many on here do that before the event, only after.

I acknowledge you did. Thumbs up.
The rest of the elite club top dog members, I see none.

I'm certain they read this or at least the word gets around.
So...

I strongly support live calls.
I wrote a post to explain why live calls is much better and more revealing than TEs.
Others get to read the couldhave, shouldhave, wouldhave that TEs don't reveal.
This should be the standard practice for all thread Ops. Imho.

We're running circles around live calls.
