There are traders and then there are those who talk about trading. TA is in love with his words and shows it by elaborating endlessly on fundamentals. But actually using all that fundie data to trade....nada.

{quote} Charts get the data from fundamentals, and than charts get the data first. Than comes the indicators, and patterns and so on which they do not work. Money is made by sitting not trading. Reading charts only is just a gamble and guessing.
What is your name? Techanalyst? I think Fundanalyst is more appropriate since you don't even believe in technical analysis lol. Anyways bro you have a lot more to learn about the market. Funny thing is that you don't need to understand it all to make money as long as you have discipline and you found something that works consistently. Many people make a profit and they don't truly know what they are doing. They found something that works and they make up their own reason of why it works. That is their opinion of course and the real reason why it works may not be the reason why they think it works, but it works and it makes money and that's all that matters lol.

Just because you can't trade from a chart alone, it doesn't mean other can't. If 1000 people say you cannot trade based on technicals only and 1 person can, then those 1000 have just been proven wrong. Have you heard of "show me the chart and i'll tell you the news"? This statement can't be more accurate.

I trade chart alone. I dont care about news and fundamentals at all. I know news can move the price, but news isn´t goal to trade, unless you know about the news before everyone.
Fundamentals for me it is only to make a stocks portfolio.

1 pip move is random.
1000 pips move is not random.

There are some statements that everyone repeat day by day: 1. Always use Stop Loss. 2. Use at least 1:2 Risk Reward ratio. 3. Trade only long term, no day trading. 4. Do not study math, statistics, do not create algos. You brain is best indicator, draw lines, rectangles and use fibos only. 5. Learn to feel the market. This is the edge. 6. You will be profitable automatically after 10000 hours of trading. 7. We will reduce leverage and ban hedges to protect your capital (the funniest part). So there is some very smart and wealthy guy sitting somewhere...
After reading this statement i found it to be true, well done mate the brokers will not like you
people leave, but this thread will go on for ever

The "day traders" got triggered. They are all"day traders/scalpers", but they are having time writing here all the time. That says it all.

About them I dont know , but about me I have all time to be writing here because I´m swinger. I would be a terrible scalper. I can´t control my emotions scalping, but trading swinger i have all time that i need to check all pairs and make my analysis after that i dont need be looking the chart, I just leave a pending order and if i wanna i can even be sleeping while the trade run

Yes, we have multiple screens, save time by working as a team to avoid having to watch every pair at the same time.
We think fast, don’t waste time by analysing price except for measuring expansion and making instant decisions on finding available liquidity that’s tradable.

If a one minute candle moves with twice the speed, four times the volume and primary buying delta, we have a decision to make.

Is there enough liquidity to trade with the move or do we consider liquidity is exhausted and trade against the bias.

A team of good traders will normally come to the correct decision allowing times to write stupid posts on forex factory like this - while long term traders are still paralysed by indecision.

Cheers
Trading thin liquidity at the boundary of the charts

Fundamentals 80%, technicals 20%. Everything else is noise.
