Many say FX prices is random walk. I believe it moves from zone to zone. The more a resistance/support is visit, the less likely it will hold in the near future (for scalping Intraday) cause there's no pending order left waiting to be filled. Maximum revisit is 3 times. on the 4th majority of the time breakout occurs

...the overnight 'flash-crash' to 1.0327 was a cleverly planned coup by some of the 'whales' that operate in this pairing. Some London traders waited around for the thinner liquidity at start of Asian session and banged in some big market moving sell orders in the hope of scaring the Asian session participants to clear their buy orders as it dropped. It worked and the price kept dropping with no/little liquidity on the buy side of the price ladder for hundreds of pips down. What would you do if there was a steamroller coming toward you?- you'd jump out the way. They just took advantage of the lower Asian liquidity and the febrile selling that had preceded it,- that's all.
---------------------------------------------

Unlikely to see a Boe statement and more unlikely - intervention, unless this thing crashes again, and particularly aaround/below parity.

Hello Guys 1.03 I projected has already happened but at a faster time than I ever imagined... Today I lost my prop firm accounts worth 1.3 million dollars having reached phase 2 in some with just 1.3% buy trade open yet the whole accounts breached at 1.0378... This is me saying goodbye to this heavily manipulated pair moving 500 pips in Tokyo session without any major event or news. It's sad that I have to leave this pair but my mental health is more important than any other thing. Good luck to everyone and stay safe. {image}

I do love GBP/USD as its my base currency and it's always fairly exciting. But as a new trader is there any pairs anyone can recommend that are more stable in their movements and trade well in London or NY open?

Also I'm at the stage now where I've rid myself of basically all indicators, mostly price action support/resistance and working on personal psychology. Which is a far nicer level up from 1000 indicators. I prefer to look at the 1hr and enter on the 5m for longer trades. And then also scalp when we hit ranges using the 1m.

Can anyone suggest an indicator or two that would work best with my simplified strategies?

My goal is simple, go from the cheapest funded account I can find so there is zero mental burden win or lose. Trade up accounts till I can do nice things like take my mum on holiday and work less and do nice things for people. I am concerned I will have to be more aggressive to achieve the entry goals which is slightly luck dependent. I expect to keep training 3 months to years if needed.

I am reading the book by Mark Douglas, and trying to work on trying to catch multiple moves with one trade being greedy and isolating my systems rules.

I am not trading this week at Friday was stressful for me as it just proved anything is possible too many times.
The markets are neutral to us. Our emotions are the enemy.

I might move to trade EU today, my cable spread keeps widening like maddog while my EU spreads are < 1 pip (10 points)

Cable fluctuating from 30 points to 50 points.
Can't even place a good SL with low risk.
Until it stabilizes then I'll be back.

Hi George, your stats are one of the most spot on I have ever seen. No emotions, just straight factual statistics. This whole move was intended to hurt people and it was intentionally done at night when most people are sleeping. They do this everytime. And yet, we see people saying the markets are not controlled. I repeat that the human race will NEVER leave a market worth trillions of dollars to run on autopilot. This market is heavily controlled and patrolled. The people running it know the exact, pinpoint price they are going to with absolutely no slippage.

Now they have achieved their aim, I expect a fall towards that bottom and then a humongous rise. I was saved from this deadly fall because I didn't trade this damned pair. I sold EU just few minutes to market close on Friday because I expected this crash to happen. That was my saving grace.

You are good. You will come back stronger. I hope you get your prop accounts back. Cheers.

Did not just happen on Cable, it happened on EUR and other pairs. If they were manipulating, why would they not just concentrate on one pair. Did they buy dollar. I don't understand. If it was one pair, they would be selling that pair! It would be nice to have access to order flow, to work out what happened!
Don't trade what you think. Just what you see!!!

so if USD, EUR & GBP all go to parity, we might as well just have one currency

They just need to manipulate the dollar.
This morning (my time) there was a strong push at dollar, causing all pairs against dollar to go down.
