I would appreciate if we could link to great threads, that will make you a better trader. For instance a journal where you get to know the strategy of a profitable system, or a great citation from good trader.

I think everyone would benefit from this

What moves the markets?


Really great thread. I liked the comments that there is no exact price right now. Which is logical. I mean, the the value of the price is different on different time scale.This is true. Because the price hmay be overvalued on 1 hour frame,but not on 1 min.

How could u use this? Well,something like this. Only sell, if trend is down on 4 hours,hurly,15 min for exampel I already knew this, but this gave me an even deeper insight because ive never thought about it this way.

and about different time scale.


1 hour chart trader takes profit.
2 15 min takes tp.
1 min takes tp

These three traders, they all affect each other, interlapping. SO it is a bit complex to identify the structure. Because, its not only about identifying tp levels for 1 hour chart, that affect price on min, but also go od entry points or sl points that affect price on 1 min chart.


buying and selling on min chart,affect prices on 15 min, and 15 min on 1 hour.

If you type twinblade into the FF search facility, you'll find it. It's been moved to the Commercial forums.

Just read the whole thread. Interesting read. Useful information is

LONGER TIME FRAME>big trends occur because of discrepancy in basis points between countries and trades should therefore be placed accordingly to avoid go against the odd. For instance having a tp that will most likely never be hit.


Medium term price is caused by speculation,banks and other big instituations, and other fundamental factors.

Short term is caused by speculation

Overall price is affected by greed,fear of losing,speculation, and fundamental factors.


Price has different values on different time frames.


Could anyone correct me on this..l

Imho, watching Tom & Jerry gives a trader more usefull information than that very long and boring thread. Just think a little bit, the smart money are the mouse and the losers are the cat. She runs, screams, feels that she will catch the mouse but in the end loses. I told you in one phrase what others try to find in thousands of pages of the aforementioned thread.

The thread is excellent but not for everyone. Much like the market itself it's not a "read and do". But it can give you a lot. If you have the balls to take it.

I humbly disagree, there are a lot of stuff I picked up in the thread where it is barely discussed about later even by early students. Stuff there are still contained within the first 200 pages.

Let's say that after a while I prefer reading from people which are able to articulate, meaning that if they have something to say they can do it in a small number of posts. Trading being for me a logical activity and not a religion, I consider that I'll not lose my time reading thousands of mumbo jumbo pages to find one or two ideas which obviously have been described here for a long time.

The same story is presented by Phillip Nel in his 4H system. The difference being that you can follow the ideas, you have examples and real facts. For the record, I don't trade like him because it is not my style.

@aiyahmarklah I think we are talking about different things

Edit
@ Sauron - Like I said it's not for everyone. What the thread is all about is to provoke you to do your own thinking and understanding. You won't find a system in there - it's exactly the other way around. Don't get me wrong - I am not looking to strike back at mechanical systems here, even though I don't like them. It's a free forum and someone asked for an opinion earlier. That's just my 0,002 on the subject.

Regards
