Perhaps somebody with some mileage can confirm this.

"I read somewhere", actually it was vid...that USD tends to be strong Q1, weakish Q2, strengthens Q3...from the half way point to the end of the year, it strengthens basically.

Cant remember where I got it, but the guy was apparently some well respected analyst.

Anyone clued in here?
I also saw somewhere in this forum how some guru wants to describe the Zodiac as controlling the market. Isn't all these nice? I like to trade what I see at the moment.
If the market is so arranged, then position traders won't have business looking at their charts. No?

RSI shows oversold and ADX well above 40. Maybe this down move becomes weaker and we can expect a correction ?

I learned a long time ago not to laugh at strategies that work. Not my cup of tea, but I've seen people nail tops and bottoms using astro techniques....if it pays the bills.....from what I understand it's painstaking though, considering you need to be working from square charts, natals, gann wheels, etc.....

I think he was referring to some 'seasonal' tendency based on past historical evidence.
Surely you've heard of particular monthly references to market sentiment?

As far as 'Zodiacs' controlling the market go...lol...Apparently there was once a man named Gann, who made a killing on the market a long time ago using planetary indicators.
Do you think it's possible that some people gain information from sources you dont? Scary huh?!


Edit: I cant resist this...I have been interpreting Horoscopes for 20+ years, professionally. It works, trust me.

I dont incorporate it with trading though. Im learning to trade, not reinvent the wheel. One thing at a time.

Open your mind mate...Truth is much much stranger than fiction could ever hope to be. Life's a blast.

LOL. If you don't know about Gann, you should do some research. He's considered to be one of the greatest traders of all time by many, many modern traders. It would appear that he did, indeed, utilize the zodiac....but that, imho, masks and distorts what he was actually tapping into....

"Sacred" numbers and relationships were what drove his obsession. Fibs...."sacred" numbers.....the degrees of a circle (45, 90, 180, etc..)...."sacred" numbers....squares of 9...."sacred" numbers. Why are these numbers "sacred", you may ask? Because....they, and their relationships, appear over and over and over again in nature....everywhere you look. Hence, these same type of relationships are in astro movements, general physics, biology, etc......Gann figured out how to apply these numbers, in the proper context and confluence, to the market. In short....it was about the math.

Anyone not contributing with concretes and without a good analysis behind their claims will be ignored..very simple. I have not said anything about you or anyone else but talking about mr dragon who are just throwing out comments without information/analysis whatever. Therefore I would like to see how good of a trader he is as he is "not attacking" me but "trying to help me".

Capishe ?
First of all I never attacked you, I disagreed with you and pointed out how foolish it is to not have any stop loss at all. If that is your idea of being attacked you are entirely too sensitive.

As far as showing you my account history. LOL, sure I always show sensitive financial statements about my net worth to random strangers on the internet just to prove a point.

If I were trying to sell you a course on my method of trading or saying that my way is best and you should trade how I trade, then that would be appropriate.

I'm not. I'm saying that with ANY method of trading if you dont use a stop loss eventually you are going to get badly hurt by it.

You've also added hedging to no stop loss on trades. Which just about guarantees at some point in the future you are going to tottally wreck your account.

Only three possibilites hedging negatively corrolated pairs:
1. break even = no profit
2. Both loss = bigger loss
3. Both profit = bigger profit.

The problem with trading negatively corrolated pairs in an effort to, "hedge," losses is that the corrolation often breaks down and even if it doesn't the pairs dont move lockstep pip per pip opposite. One can do nothing and another take off ect...

P.S. from reading justa few posts from of this thread alone it's apparent you are a practically brand spanking new trader............ a few things that pointed that out......

1. you dont use a stop loss
2. you hedge
3. you asked someone about news trading. ( so you are going to hedge and have no sl on news trades are you? have fun)
4. you asked if a retrace and then continuation into a bearish trend on EU was just bank manipulation for better buying price.........when london banks are on holiday.........lol.

(So not only don't you use stop losses, you have two out of three probabilities working against your account with hedging)

P.P.S. You can assume I'm talking out of my hat or whatever. Just make sure and remember this last post when the time comes you are in a trade with no sl and price runs hard against your trade and wrecks your account or severly damages it, because that time will come.

bear flag is not a bullish trend really , it is an indication that the daily trend will resume

all up moves on eu been hit hard with sellers off 1.22750

targets 1.2200 to 1.18 remain

sept is 90 % a trend month

1 more week to labour day then i think that all traders back at desks after labour day form summer vacations .

LOL....

Sorry man, I was being facetious. I appreciate your comments...
I checked Gann out a long time ago. That was my initial attraction to trading. Stocks at first, because of his trading vehicles and application of those more esoteric tools. But I dont have what it takes to trade stocks, and didnt even open an account.
Do you know about Wave59? There are a couple of other trading platforms too, ummm Galactic Trader etc. All pretty good looking but I wanna learn to trade with MT4, with some normality, and then go to something a bit more versatile and experimental.
The one thing that I find can be easily incorporated into any trading easily is knowing your own cycles and rhythms, and that influencing your trading decisions, and consequently the potential you might have to either have a winner day, or a crap day.
Just using mars and the moon with your own natal planets alone are enuff.
It's easy to see the crappy days...and the boomer days.
It's an edge mate. I need all I can get lol

The bigger planets are good to know about too though, coz they're like the background music for the rest to play out through. They provide the context.
It works real well.

For me, it's all about the math. The planets just mimic the math....the math is the reason they behave (orbit, rotate, etc.) the way that they do. It's always been easier for me to just go straight to the math.....

Wave59 is awesome. It's one of the most flexible platforms I've ever used, but it will cost you. Easy to properly scale charts, a host of some awesome standard indicators, and if one is so inclined, indicators for the esoteric. The fibonacci vortex is awesome....I have nothing bad to say about that tool other than learning how to properly scale and use it. Then there's the hive and neural net technology that if you can program, you can tap into. One problem though, if you like to run automated in the background....they need to radically expand the brokers they interface with because right now it's just IB.
