Quoting MyTbo
Hi, people

I did an experiment in the VHands simulator and I got a surprising and in the same time hilarious result
I was entering trades with the trend and against the trend and put their TP where Stop Loss should be place according to the widespread teachings and belief in FX. After my TP was hit I would enter in the opposite direction and place my TP where a Stop Loss should be placed if someone tries to follow the trend and even placed a limit order there
I had longs and shorts in same time with only TP. I was doing exactly the...
Hello MyTbo: This is very interesting. Please, if you be so kind and i could ask you. Send me some results. Thank you.

My trading is doing well, but fighting the bucket shops seems to be half the battle, I know they need to make money too, and it is a zero sum game, but by God do they have to be that tight?
I remember long time ago, you mentioned that you organized some little tricks to deal with the broker's shading activities. Now, from your post, seems broker's tricks are smarter?

Which broker are you trading with?

I've been trading with Oanda for 5 years. It used to be an honest one. I was the one who can always get the best feed among my trading buddies, but not anymore. Especially recently one year, price always skip my click. One or two pips shading become a sure deal.

It gets worse now. sometimes after click, the price box turn gray for some second, price keep updating, and finally my click get the worst possible fill after the price box turn active again.

Not mention that they cut connection upon big move.

I'm so disappointed at Oanda. Is it just Oanda, or brokers are all like this?

Quoting Fana

Yes and thank you very much.
There is some (for me undiscovered) space. I can say that i can still only feel, that there is something important behind Ganns studies. But imho it is covered for the most people. Question is how fundamental it is... Like Albert Einstein relativity theory... Very few people really understand. One Pro in physics told me that 5-10 people in the world really understand it!
Study is good, without dogma.You try to study what they recommended FTI ... from trade.Einstein not think there is.

PS Gann studied 10 years and then trade.

Hi Auxesis

Gann angles can be correctly used but what he described Fana is not correct use.Gann angles are "just","square" price and time

regards

PS Gann angles should not be taken out of context!
Yep understand Gann angles I don't know what Fana had on his chart?

imjscn,


All brokers have their pros and cons, but there's more than order execution that makes or breaks a broker and all handle business slightly different, need to shop around and find one your "ok" with, hard task unless your dealing $$$$$

Oanda has been going downhill as of late, shading even limits are getting slipped.

I always had a problem with predetermined static angles in relation to currencies, i.e. dual relationships/pairs and intraday timeframes, while dynamic angles calculated/derived from the current swing are valid, imho, reliance on them solely, without other perspectives of higher timeframe analysis and supporting PA at the moment is dangerous.

Best to listen to what the charts saying now, in stead of banking on what might be.

Hello!

Angles, which angles?
Please, what is the need always to fall into the same trap?

All this works... if this condition is.... and not to forget that
when..... and if you have..... and please don't do it if.....

OMG!

People, if you already are masters of the simple dance that was showed here
study the market structure, or how brokers work, etc, etc,
IMHO know this has more value than "Gann angles "....

Therefore, I am writing, not rip out of context.Gann fan is calculator and not indicator.I wrote "decode Gann Tunnel" ... as the construction of the "tunnel" and Why? Because Gann Fan is predictiv? So why then the "tunnel"?!?

Keep it simple la. Don't make it so hard for you to pull a trade. Half the time my trades are made purely by following feeds. I'm totally not following these gann mutations.

The mental war is already hard enough these 'indicators' or whatever you call it is only there to suport you. Create a reason for you to feel at ease with the trade. Stop thinking that there is a big secret behind trading.

Particularly to me, it doesn't disturb me the conversation,
they even make me sometimes to laugh,
but I can read people here that wants to learn how to run
before learning how to walk...

Auxesis, I appreciate your posts a lot.
I only try to light a lamp of attention to the newbies,
but if they want to waste their time and money... it is not my problem.

On misguided gann study (Fana take note!), Cake sums up the flirtation:

Never There

I need your arms around me,
I need to feel your touch,
I need your understanding, I need your love,
So much,

You tell me that you love me so,
You tell me that you care,
But when I need you, (BABY)
Baby, (You're never there),

On the phone,
Long long distance,
Always through such,
Strong resistance,

When first you say,
You're too busy,
I wonder if you,
Even miss me,

Never there,
You're never there,
You're never, ever,
Ever ever there,

A golden bird that flies away,
A candle's fickle flame,
To think I held you yesterday,
Your love was just a game,

Baby,

Take the time,
To get to know me,
If you want me,
Why can't you just show me,

We're always on,
This roller coaster,
If you want me,
Why can't you get closer,

Never there,
You're never there,
You're never, ever,
Ever ever there,

Never there,
You're never there,
You're never, ever,
Ever ever there

being familier with her mannerism I thought you had in mind to keep a heads up on that 2348 area.

peaked at 48
down to 08
back up 40-42 and a habit of spiraling back down.

just something ive noticed, I dont hang my hat on it though just something to keep in mind.


thats one reason I said im following her and the girls if she breaks below 08.

maybe she will do that now .
from 36 to 96
keep eyes open @ 96 area.

the girls are all in snync, keep eye on them.

she might get there if we get above 18.

a/u says shes ready
push her over if were going to go that way.

shes taking to long, cleared most and hedged, other task at hand.

yea 1 minute later you dirty broad, see you at the new day.
