Fair Value Gap Hysteria

Hello dear traders,

Today we're talking about the fair value gap hysteria, which is also increasingly dominating the German market. Inflationary terms from the stock market environment are currently flooding the industry, fascinating beginners on the one hand and straining the funny bones of professionals at the same time. The trading coaches have already noticed that you can no longer lure customers out of their shells with volume footprint and trading with third-party money. So new ideas are needed. Since very few coaches are creative, they have to steal ideas from America. ICT and SMC offer enough potential to get willing traders to reach for their wallets. And so that you don't fall for this rubbish in the future, we're taking a closer look at the funny fair value gap today.



I wish you a great weekend

Best wishes, Michael

Strategy of the big players

Hello dear traders,

As already announced, in the coming videos we will be dealing with the specific working methods of the big players. This differs significantly from the way retailers operate, which also explains the high losses of retailers. In order to understand the specific working methods of the big players, some basics are necessary first, which we urgently need to talk about.

Speech is silver, silence is gold



Hello dear traders,

Today I would like to tell you an interesting story about how quickly an advantage in trading can become a disadvantage. For many years I have known a very likeable young trader (50 years old) who has been involved in trading on the side for many years. He has a secure and lucrative job and earns a little money from trading. Because he was so friendly, when we first met I gave him some tips on the bionic candle, of course free of charge. With this information he went looking for unusual patterns and found some. He wanted to use this to program an EA that would place a corresponding trade as soon as this pattern appeared in the bionic candle. The problem was that he was trading in the futures market via a third-party money provider and did not know the C++ programming language. Through three trader friends he finally came across an experienced programmer who was able to program this EA. What can I say, according to him, the EA had a win rate of almost 100%, but with a negative CRV. But that wasn't a problem, because the EA was profitable and on some days even brought in up to $500. You could actually earn a little money on the side with it, if no one else noticed. But his friends found out and are now using this EA too. But that wouldn't have been a problem either, but the trades are made via different third-party money providers. With a third-party money provider, you basically trade on a demo account, which the third-party money provider mirrors with a real money account. However, only the lucrative traders are mirrored. The third-party money provider receives all the trader informations from its customers, which are crucial. Since the guys have developed an EA that achieves a very high win rate, these very trades are mirrored 1:1 by the third-party money provider on real money accounts. But now it gets even worse. Since the trades are worthwhile, the third-party money provider gives up not just 1 lot, but several 100 lots. This immediately made the big players aware of this strategy and they are now developing an algorithm to counteract it in order to eliminate this troublemaker in the medium term. So it is only a matter of time before the nice, uncomplicated windfall is over. I recommended that he immediately look for a new strategy and program it himself as an EA in MT4. He is now attending a few online courses and in a year at the latest he will be able to program his own EA. The advantage: nobody will notice and if the EA runs under the radar of the big players, he will be able to enjoy it for many years. So my tip: if you have found a profitable strategy, enjoy it and keep quiet. Because as soon as the whole thing becomes inflated, the nice rain of money is over. The secret of the successful big players has been based on silence for decades, so: speech is silver, silence is gold. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't help your colleagues, but I don't have to tell a stranger where my safe is installed.

I will continue to keep my fingers crossed for you

Best wishes, Michael

What nobody tells you

Hello dear traders,

the topic we are talking about today is extremely controversial, as it may reveal the power relations of individual institutions. This is not about conspiracy theories, but about aspects that the banks prefer to keep to themselves. We will also look at how our stops are triggered to get in or out.

Full speed into a dead end

Hello dear traders,

in today's video we go a little deeper into the market to understand how the big players operate and why they confuse us so often. We have to invert our thoughts in order to be able to follow them in the future. This is not easy at first glance but can still be done.

The best threads on FF

Hello dear traders,

as of December 15, 2024, there are over 1 million members on FF and the question arises: what information is valuable and actually helps a trader. First of all, there are currently 722 high impact members, 1,085 medium impact members and 1,807 low impact members. There are also 6,120 commercial members who were not taken into account in our evaluation because they are primarily focused on a business advantage or monetary compensation. There are also former high, medium and low impact members here who, however, at some point violated the non-commercial guidelines and were therefore banned to the commercial side. Of course, there are also interesting posts there, which we do not take into account for the reasons mentioned. This leaves 722 high impact, 1,085 medium and 1,807 low impact members. The most successful threads are on the high impact members page.

Of course there are also interesting posts from the medium and low impact members, but a new member can reach the status of high impact member within a year. Therefore, our evaluation only included the high impact members who are among the most successful 0.1% of all members. This refers exclusively to membership in FF and says nothing about the financial success of their trading. Of course there are also successful traders who publish no or poor posts, just as there are unsuccessful traders who publish very good posts. Unfortunately it is impossible to draw a clear distinction here.

The selected high impact members initially include pure subscribers without buddies. Buddies are members who follow each other to push themselves up the rankings or because they are actually friends with each other. A subscriber follows a member selflessly because they find the information on this thread interesting.

Evaluation process:

First of all, there are different ways to arrive at a fair evaluation. Since I have been a member of Forex Factory for over seven years, I have tried to use a fair rating system. Let's look at this in detail.

The 722 high impact members differ mainly in the number of their subscribers. 2526 subscribers follow the largest thread and in 100th place there are a total of 293 followers. Therefore, the 100 largest high impact members were selected. Among these 100 there are four people who have not published a single post and a newsstand who is responsible for news. These five candidates were not taken into account in the rating. That leaves 95 high impact members who now had to be rated. In total, there were eight criteria that were taken into account in the rating.

Number of subscribers per month

Here the total number of subscribers is simply divided by the number of months of membership that a high impact member has achieved at FF. It indirectly shows how successful and current a thread is. Of course, young members often have an advantage, e.g. LauraT, who has only been here for 56 months and has 9.0 subscribers per month. But there are enough examples to disprove this. Ata-Turkoglu, who has been here for over ten years, has 19.9 subscribers per month and Hanover, who has been here for over 219 months, has 7.5 subscribers, even though he hasn't been active for three years.

Number of posts per month

There are major differences here, from 514 posts per month to 0.1 posts per month. In principle, this is purely a matter of hard work and also shows the willingness to communicate with the individual subscribers. Of course, one efficient post is better than ten inefficient posts, but with millions of posts, it is not possible to make a clear assessment here.

Posts per subscriber

Here, the number of posts is divided by the number of subscribers. This allows you to calculate how many posts a high impact member needs to theoretically gain a subscriber. The fewer posts are needed, the more efficient the approach is. This also applies to questions that are answered in the thread.

Ignored people

Many high impact members know that destructive criticism occurs from time to time, which is anything but fair. There are people who can take criticism, while others will not put up with anything. This sometimes leads to massive arguments and hostility. An ignored person can be excluded from a thread by a member. The basis here is the number of ignored people, which is compared to the number of subscribers. The number of ignored people ranges from 0% to 244%. The fewer people are ignored, the higher the score.

Files published per month

A member can provide their subscribers with indicators or files, such as PDFs or Excel files, which they can then download. This rating calculates how many files were made available per month. Everything from 14.6 files per month to 0 files is included. The greater the willingness to provide files, the higher the score.

Images published per month

We all know the saying: A picture is worth a thousand words. Images help to understand the written text better and faster. The greater the willingness to post images, the higher the corresponding score.

Number of subscribers

If one high impact member reaches 1000 subscribers, while another only reaches 100 subscribers, there are clear reasons for this. First and foremost, it shows the interest of traders that this thread offers something special. Of course, in the past there have always been members who created so-called fake accounts in order to increase the number of their subscribers. Fortunately, Forex Factory was able to prevent this fake using IP numbers and location data. It can therefore be assumed that most subscribers are real subscribers.

Length of membership

The oldest High Impact Member has been a member for over 20 years, while the youngest member has only been a member for 4.5 years. The longer a member has been a member, the higher the score.

Special note:

Of course, it doesn't matter which country a member comes from, because all countries are basically worth the same. Age, gender and religion also play no role. There was also no assessment of the quality of the published posts, as this would not be objective.

Overall rating

There are now different rankings within the 8 different criteria. The best ranking gets 95 points, the worst just one point. At the end, all points are added together to produce the following results, sorted alphabetically by name.


Here are places 1-48 in the 8 different criteria

Here are places 49-95 in the 8 different criteria

You can find the 12 best threads here, although in some cases the points are not far apart.

Here are the best threads places 1 to 95



Of course, you could also weight the individual 8 criteria differently to achieve a different result. But that would potentially be very one-sided in the end. Please note that the best 95 threads or members were rated here. Even if someone is in last place, they are still in the best 0.01% of all members, as there are over 1 million members on FF. In addition, the rating does not show the whole truth, as the threads cannot be checked for quality, logic or sustainability. Ultimately, it is always the individual traders who decide which information is good or less good.

Of course, every trader is looking for the system that suits them. There is a lot of information within these 95 threads that can help you. Just start at number 1 and get a rough overview. If the strategy or approach doesn't appeal to you, just switch to number 2 and look around there. Of course, this will take a while, but it might save you a lot of time, as there are currently over 3,600 high, medium and low impact members who provide around 15,000 threads. In total, there are 78,000 threads on Forex Factory, which we have reduced to around 400 threads today. Personally, I don't want to rate the individual members or threads here, as that is not possible in depth.

In the end, the following is crucial:

Every trader who passes on his knowledge is trying to help other traders selflessly. That is something very special and I would like to thank everyone for that.

I wish you continued success

Best wishes, Michael

Christmas 2024

Hello dear traders, followers and subscribers,

As we approach the end of another eventful year, I would like to take the opportunity to look back on the past year and at the same time take a look into the future. It was a year full of challenges, lessons and also many opportunities - a year that shaped us as traders. Trading is more than just charts and numbers. It is a way to constantly develop our discipline, patience and understanding of the markets. This year has shown us how important it is to have a clear plan, manage risks and focus on what really matters: sustainable and consistent results.



We all know that the markets are unpredictable. But it is precisely in this unpredictability that the opportunity lies - the chance to constantly improve and recognize new opportunities. Success in trading does not come overnight. It is a process, a marathon and not a sprint. And I am proud to be part of a community that supports, motivates and learns from each other. I would like to thank each and every one of you - for your commitment, your questions, your experiences and above all for your positive energy. Your journey inspires not only me, but also many others who have set out to understand the financial markets and trade successfully. Every loss is a lesson and every win is a reward for your hard work and discipline. Stay focused, stay hungry for knowledge and, above all, always remain open to growth. I wish you and your families a Merry Christmas, relaxing holidays and a successful start to the New Year with the new video: "History of Money".



For the last video of this year, I have come up with something special: It is about the history of money, which should make us all think. The English translation will be released on December 30th, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey next year and am excited about the successes we will celebrate together. Thank you for being part of this community. Let's start the coming year with enthusiasm, passion and a clear vision.

To you, to us, to a peaceful Christmas and a great start to the new year 2025.

Best wishes, Michael

History of money

Hello dear traders,

I hope you had a peaceful Christmas with your family and look back on a successful 2024. Today, at the end of the year, I would like to tell you about the history of money, which, when viewed in depth, contains a lot to think about. Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, once said: "It is a good thing that people do not understand our banking and monetary system, because otherwise we would have a revolution before tomorrow morning." Even 100 years later, nothing has changed, because most people still do not understand our financial system. Mark Twain explained this aptly: "It is not what we do not know that gets us into trouble, but what we mistakenly think we know." This statement is particularly apt for the monetary system, which is characterized by myths and misunderstandings.

Video dates in 2025



Hello dear traders,

I hope that you have started the new year 2025 with good intentions and I wish you the success you deserve. This year will indeed be a big challenge, Donald Trump will be sworn in on the 20th and a month later there will be elections in Germany. These factors will have an impact on the euro US dollar and many other assets. Half a year ago, in July 2024, we had three times as much liquidity in the euro US dollar as we do now. This has almost doubled volatility, which at the same time increases the risk and makes it more difficult to identify algorithms. In addition, in January 2025 new algorithms were brought into play by the big players, which currently still need to be analyzed and evaluated in detail. This means that I have many projects coming up this year that now require my undivided attention. Of course, I will publish the individual results in my videos so that you are always up to date. For 2025, twelve videos are initially planned, which will always appear at 9:00 a.m. on the last Saturday of each month.

Depending on demand, additional videos will be published between the dates. This will enable me to react more quickly to current changes and post more videos. The release date for possible additional videos will also be a Saturday.

I have two channels on YouTube, one German and one English.

German channel: youtube.com/BionicsForexAlgorithmen
English channel: youtube.com/BionicsForexAlgorithms

The English channel translates my German text, the videos and images remain unchanged. The translation, which also takes a lot of time, was created for my English followers at Forex Factory. That's why the number of hits there is significantly lower than on my German channel.

On Forex Factory, the largest trading platform in the world, I am in 18th place out of over 1 million members and have a total of 4 threads there.

Forex Factory: https://www.forexfactory.com/bionics

In addition to current information and indicators, you will find interesting aspects about trading there in English and German.

In 2018, I was the only European to develop a new trading candle (Bionic Candle), which has already been downloaded over 40,000 times for MT4. The two largest software providers for the future market, ATAS and Quantower, have already integrated this bionic candle into their platform. All private traders can of course use this candle free of charge.

I wish you a successful year and keep my fingers crossed for all of us that we can look back and be satisfied at the end of 2025.

Best wishes
Michael

How the algorithms help us

Hello dear traders,

In today's video I will show you how the algorithms of the big players help us and what opportunities arise from them. I will show you how we can use the patterns that the algorithms produce to look into the future for a few seconds in order to generate profitable trades. We will talk about why identifying the algorithms is the future and how the markets change as a result. It is a big challenge, but one that is worth it, especially for a scalper.



I hope you have fun

Best wishes, Michael
