Bionic Chart - The easiest forex navigation

Hello Thomasz,

first of all, you can't tell from your chart which time unit or asset it is. It also depends on how the market has developed in the past. If a market has been moving downwards for five years, for example, it is very unlikely that the lowest low has stops from long traders who entered the market six or seven years ago. As I understand it, the red circles on your chart show an increased number of market sell orders. That would indeed suggest that long traders are being stopped out. On my chart, the red circles show the volume that flows into the limit sell orders of the big players. And that alone is of course a big difference. If a price moves downwards and forms a new low, long traders from the past can of course be stopped out. These stops now come into the market as market sell orders, which are intercepted by limit buy orders from a big player. This would allow the big player in the EURUSD to collect the euro. Because the big player has created a new low, he automatically attracts short traders. The stops of these short traders now help him to push the price up. This creates several advantages.

1. The big player stops the short traders out.
2. He brings the collected euros into profit
3. By pushing the price up, he attracts new long traders.
4. He is able to buy the dollar again at a higher price level.
5. The long traders who come into the market later help him to push the price down more quickly.

As I have already shown in my videos, the entire procedure is not always easy to understand. In addition, it is particularly in the middle or at the end of a month that larger currency exchange transactions occur, where two friendly big players interact. This results in high volume peaks that are exchanged within seconds. This procedure is often confusing and not clearly understandable. Basically, it is very difficult to understand what 1 million market participants are currently planning in the Euro US dollar. I have also been wrong many times or have been proven wrong. In the end, however, that is not a bad thing because we learn something new every day.

I will continue to keep my fingers crossed for you.

Best wishes, Michael

Aaaah yes sorry, i've forgot to say i've reset the colors to normal (green=buy orders, red=sell), i've used your inverted colors a long time but it was confusing me when i've begun to learn footprint, but it's just my personal taste of course.

they are charts of MNQ, and the width of the screenshot was covering around 30 minutes. So when i say "previous buyers" it was max 3-4 minutes before

Thank you for the answer, it's helping me. I guess it must be often a combination of the 2 scenarii, SL from previous buyers + sell stops from new sellers.

I Will keep to follow this thread and your videos with attention

Hello Thomasz, I'm glad to hear that. On my YouTube channel you can find numerous videos about the approach of the big players. The video: "Full speed into the dead end" will be published next week. Best wishes, Michael

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

Full speed into a dead end
(translated into English)

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 must 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.



I hope you enjoy it

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

Hi Michael, you are in my list of best traders, and I have been around soon for 30 years.I have followed your thread and your videos here and there. I can see you made it and made it solid. But I don´t see a way of following your system, I got the bionic candles, and understand the basic algo manipulation which I have no doubt about. But once you start adding those awsome filters It just goes beyond me. Anyway, wish you the best, especially for the time you spend showing everybody for free how it is done.

Hello cuchuflito, first of all, thank you very much for the great compliment, I feel very honored. First of all, I am still at the very beginning of identifying algorithms and it will take a few years until all the patterns have been precisely evaluated. I believe that it is not important to follow a system exactly, it is much more important to get important tips to find your own way. Most of the systems that have been published do not work, otherwise word would have gotten around long ago and everyone would be working with them. You also have to look for new ways and for that a trader should be creative. Everyone is different and of course there are several ways to be successful. Reading algorithms is just one of many ways. Successful trading means finding a market advantage over other trading participants. But this path is the hardest for every trader. I hope from the bottom of my heart that you too will find your own personal path and I keep my fingers crossed for you. Best wishes, Michael

Liquidity in EURUSD / Euro FX 6E



Hello dear traders

Compared to July 2024 compared to December 2024, liquidity in Euro 6E has reduced by a factor of three. In 2024, the DoM had ten levels of up to 4000 lots on the ask and bid side. Currently, there are between 1200-1500 lots. This has to do with many factors, including the election in America, the upcoming election in Germany, and other political influencing factors within the EU and the world. In addition, it is completely normal for liquidity to be withdrawn from the market at the end of the year and gradually reintroduced from mid-January of the new year. In the EURUSD foreign exchange market, liquidity is 100 times greater than in the Euro FX 6E future market, but there it is also currently only around a third of the values that were present in summer 24. Due to the withdrawal of liquidity, volatility has understandably doubled. Generally, high liquidity in an asset shows interest from the big players. Of course, interest in the Euro US dollar is generally very high, but, as already written, political factors are responsible for the fact that there is still great uncertainty about adding further liquidity. I believe that this uncertainty will reduce in the next few months and we will see significantly more liquidity in both the Future 6E and the Forex EURUSD. The situation is currently unsatisfactory for us too. The higher the liquidity in the market, the better we are able to read the algorithms of the big players. Higher liquidity requires the increased use of algorithms. This will inevitably significantly reduce volatility, but future price movements can be predicted more clearly through algorithm analysis. Some traders like to make a lot of money in a short period of time. This is precisely why the S&P or NASDAQ is a popular trading instrument, as the volatility is very high there. Unfortunately, however, most people forget that 90% of traders lose. Of course, 10% of traders will reach their goal faster, but 90% will also lose their money faster. High volatility usually means low liquidity, and low liquidity also shows little interest from the big players. A beginner should therefore generally start in markets with high liquidity and once he has reached his break-even point, markets with higher volatility are easier to trade. This can significantly reduce his losses.

I wish you continued success in trading.

Best wishes, Michael

your thread is one of the only 2 best threads worth to read on FF. Happy new year & wish u good health & happiness in 25 Master!

Algos: I understood this a long time ago. They are the masters of money transfer from retail to "algo Bank owner"account. I read a lot of science magazines about Quantum Computers. Scary, the race is on between the superpowers, first one to get the machine can open all the military codes of the other guys. China is ahead. Guess who is going "all in " on KI/ Quantum, the Big banks, of course "just to make sure their clients accounts are protected" , that was from Golmann.
And for the people who think it´s all too far away, wrong, it is closer than we think, probably not a full working system, but Google, Amazon, MS, etc. already offer Quantum services" online, meaning Big Money has access to Quantum systems that are already available.

Basically, what this dude is saying is, "Even ticks are not enough! We need subticks of ticks! No, we need quanta of subticks of ticks!"

We need significantly MOAR information! Just when you thought 1-minute charts were just a tad too informative.

AI does play a certain role in programming the algorithms, but not yet in the area of active trading. The algorithms of high-frequency traders are the role models of the big players, although they differ significantly in high-frequency trading from trading in the foreign exchange market, as there are no high-frequency traders there. The approach of the big players is more simply structured, so the algorithms in our markets can still be expanded. This will change massively in the next few years, making trading more difficult. In 10 years, the use of algorithms could drastically reduce the proportion of retail traders. The big players should take note of this, as retail losses account for a large proportion of bank profits.

Hear the algorithms in EURUSD

Hello dear algorithm traders,

In this 2.5 hour video you can see my 86" main screen on February 14th, 2025 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. We see the EURUSD currency pair in the foreign exchange market and the evaluation of the algorithms in Euro FX 6E. Pay attention to the different patterns that are forming. The sounds on the right and left speaker channels are also interesting. If you look at the chart history for a while, even a layperson can often see which direction the price will take next. Proof that identifying the big player algorithms is the future.



Enjoy listening

Best wishes, Michael

Right, they have to balance their greed, with the necessity of keeping the cow alive. But who knows, in Germany, everybody plays the lottery, although the cow is long dead.
