DislikedIt looks good, one more question: what is the importance of the MA's 20 and 30? Could be any MA I guess as long as you can see what the trend is like?Ignored

Hehe, either way not much luck other than trading here on the forums.
Is it just this thread or are there indeed fewer traders of fairer sex on these forums. I do remember initially when I started lurking around FF, there used to be some cute looking columbians around here

only Wanka beer left.
Jay ate all the Guinness
Problem now is I don''t remember what a wanka is/was and lost the website but I'm sure I still am one as I haven't really changed much, and Once a wanka, Always a... well you get it.
And then Nucking Futs informed us all that Down Under wankas are different from Northern Hemisphere wankas, so it all got a little confusing at the end.
Knowing there's Wanka Beer is a whole 'nother deal tho. I can live with my wankyness a little easier now I guess... bein sensitive and all.

I would say about 80% of this thread makes no sense...
I had always thought it was 95% of Traders that Fail but according to the Pivots and Fibs Are Crap Crowd ((PFACC)), it's apparently gone up 3% since the last non-scientific survey of Failed Traders...due to the 32% greater Volatility I'm sure.
This ((if my bad math is correct)) means that 2% of all Traders find that 80% of the thread makes Some Sense, and 20% makes No Sense but since they are Successful Traders, they actually pay No Attention to any of it at all becuz if they did, they would certainly join the 98% of Traders that Fail.
This is all irrefutable of course and depending on which percent you are in will make More or Less to No Sense At All, in which case you now have a Clue where you Stand in the thing...
I could be wrong tho.

Hmmn, I think my previous post may qualify as a syllogism in which case it should be completely disregarded...

in computer games, I found the most difficult and effort consuming work is fighting against a human...
in most cases party with human to fight against computer is more relaxing...
so a better market should be a market that only allows single trend and that has enough capacity to absorb funds, meaning the volatility is not so wild to scare away investors.
this is just my observation.
a 2 direction market's most important use is to predict the future because the real economy changes very slowly, so they invented the futures market and leverage thing to mimic the real movements that is due over the next few weeks or months... that is the real use of this market. => to find out the value by aligning people's expectations.
for example if euro exchange rate rising with regard to usd, and we buy euro with leverage for big amounts,
it actually does not mean we really need more euro to spend,
but we expect in the follow period, euro demand will rise or euro value will gain with regard to usd...
so we're rushing to buy before people in real economy buy it. so we can sell to those who really need euro at higher exchange rates...
this is something like any other speculation games...
the most valuable thing we get from it, is the negotiated direction and value after the expectations of longs and short getting aligned...
we just watch...s/r, volume, spread, storage can all indicate the buyer's determination... which reflects how certain or confident he is for the future.
this conclusion would be predicting the real economy movement (a slow moving one) in the following period.

80% of this thread only makes No Sense to the 98% of Traders that Fail. The other 20% makes No Sense to anybody. That means that to the 98% of Failed Traders, 100% of this thread makes No Sense.
