Take this like, an example about trading and gamble.

Open a Weekly chart and count five weeks back with this one. If, you noticed on the last five weeks the Weekly candle closses at the opposite side - up if, a week before it closed down.
If you want to gamble your money after the Sunday open sell EURUSD and close at the end of the week. There will be three outcomes, either a win, a loss, or nothing, but the fees. You may losse many, or win many pips, but you can't say to all I am an active trader, investor, doing my analysis every day without lying about

Now do all your fundamental analysis and pick the best level/s to trade EURUSD, or any other pair and observe 12 hours price action, make aditional trades, move your stop loss, close, or trail, hedge ... you have many options how to handle your trade/s.

In roullete you can only put your money and can't get it back if, the wheel starts rolling, you will only lose or, win money and can do nothing about it and that is why I call investing active trading and not gambling game.

A bit early but i think you are right overall. Bullish scenario is at green lines, bearish at red lines. Personally, i don't see a way out for the buyers.

If you use advanced statistical tricks in Las Vegas, you'll get caught by security guards, and they'll make sure you don't come back any time soon.
Roll a dice 1 million times and look at the statistical distribution of the numbers you get. For sure you'll get a pattern.

Now for the strategy you just mentioned, only way to answer is to code it and do back-testing on historical data. That should be enough to see the statistical signature of the strategy on the long run.

London closed and the week-end is nearing. I think as soon enough bears close their bets, then only it will start to go south.

Actually, maybe the market is just waiting for you to close your shorts, so it can start going down

A stab to new low near 103.07 in $JY would be appealing for me and signify a top in E. and DOW. imho....

I like stats and this is a reason I like fx. Anytime I like can gamble, or put more time.

Well, if I find some time, I'll try to code your weekly close strategy and come up with their stats.
I'm that curious.

Let me pitch in and try to share my point of view..

You guys are focus on the definition of Gambling and Trading, you forgot about the definition of the Market.

Is Market random? All of us agree!

Analysation before entering a trade:
Technical: It is PA dependent, sometimes right, sometimes wrong.
Sentiments: Sometimes right, sometimes wrong.
Fundamentals: Price doesn't always re-act on whatever data it tells.
Even if it did re-act the way it tells, often times, price moves before data release or way after.
Psychology: You could be right, you could be wrong.

The fact is, the moment you push the button, without assurance, certainty or a guarntee of return of investment, knowing its randomness and that you could lose this trade, and you push the button anyway... you took a gamble! Yes... you gamble at that very moment.

Now, how you manage that trade is what separates Traders to Gamblers. Traders manage risk, knows when to get out before he gets in. Calculate amount willing to risk and aware of his account and skills limitations. While Gamblers... Hope/Wish/Pray.

I hope it helps... Happy trading!
Only an idiot knows with certainty to where the market is going.

Thanks, your results will be around half of the bars closing up and around half closing down, dojis are very less.
If, I remember well the bullish bars are more, but not with huge difference.

Used to be good you mean. Now it's peanuts. Even on Wednesday pay day when you cash (or pay) 3 days in a row.

In normal times, I would agree that it is due a little retrace, but careful. We're not in normal time, specially over this week-end. Lot of gamblers awaiting Monday's American lottery results...

Gambling or trading...hmmm.

Ever heard about the "London Rig" ? You may think that the EURUSD is by far the biggest volume in the world, hence no way to trick it, right?

Well. Then read this.
