My view on this issue is this:

As a trend-following swing trader, I seek to trade each consecutive swing in the direction of the trend. I have no idea when the trend will end, and no-one knows. What I DO know is that my Moving Averages are pointing up and that's all I need to know. I look for entries in each consecutive swing and I make very sure I try to not predict the market with my own personal bias ("this chart is overbought", "there is a bounce down due soon", etc).

Usually, by swing trading in the direction of the trend, I score a loss (or perhaps a breakeven trade if I get lucky) on the last swing of the trend. But before that I have made three, four, five, etc profitable trade in all the prior consecutive swings. In my opinion, that's better than trying to predict a trend's top and thus scoring one winning trade on the trend's last swing but having scored sound losses in all the prior consecutive swings up.

Just my view.

Yeah, let's face it. Staying here squeezing for those lil pips is nonsense right in front of a week packed with strong data....

My last lot on cable is SL 0373 for B/E and that will be it for me today....

Doesnt matter what any of us think what is the professional thinking, they move the market. Where is their greatest profits, suck in shorts suck in longs? Markets follow the path of least resistance always. Yet they wont mark up the market if demand isnt there. So is DEMAND there? Because we know there is much selling going on here, Zero sum game every buyer must have a seller. 1 click and instant winners and losers are born. Momentum has carried it this far. Pros wont buy tops unless they are 100% sure there is momentum to carry them forward since they dont fuel the moves ever only intiate beyond res/sup levels. So is momentum still long or is it exhausted. Volumes say its tired.

1) How do we know that there is much selling going on here if today we ONCE AGAIN have made a historical high?
2) What volume in Forex? and once again, how is it exhausted if we keep making new highs?

I sure sometimes dont understand half of what's talked about here on the Factory.

!. Zero sum market= FOREX every buyer must have seller, dominated by order flow creates a winner/ loser
2. Daily trading volumes, not gonna explain volume buy a book its difficult to understand, exhausted means lower daily players. So who is playing momentum accounts, who is selling it to them, who is allowing them into the market. When they see that they are about dried up buying longs, they will crush this market ON A NEWS EVENT Probably GOOD news for the longs as well sucking in the last of them, like maybe what is happening currently on 4hrs candle. Locking them into poor positions

3. Sorry u arent understanding this

Yes, any activity that is measured whether absolute volume such as futures or tick volume such as many brokers and place any value to it is relevant to the spread of any bar for every chart consists of that same spread give or take globally.

Thanks and right back atcha
