Lord Baden Powell started a GREAT movement and it still produces each and every day. Teaching people stuff EVERY day.

even if they tried to help you out, their advice wouldnt apply to you as a retail trader....its like comparing apples to oranges....
seeing that you know more than I, would you like to elaborate? I would like to know how its like comparing apples to oranges.

Trading is trading; get out of your trade at a better price than you entered it.

I understand the analogy if you are referring to trading strategies because comparing a ranging strategy to a breakout strategy is like 'comparing apples to oranges'; trading is very straight forward.

You are not doing bad at all, you are reading the price at least properly. You knew exactly when not to get in, you anticipated the retrace and had a pretty good picture of the area it was heading for. 9 pips out on a retrace call is better then 95% here can manage, sh!t only a minority here can get the direction right.



Did you trade the rest of your plan though?
i had a nice trade earlier and was in doubt until now but still in doubt if we will go higher...with this declining volume..
did you enter at least.... my pc lagged a little couldnt enter at 3620 but ilook for a better price


Did you get in as suggested

I like ya FreddFX, I couldn't resist. I know you mean well and have a few students (from what you say here on FF) I don't know though. Cheers.
As an engineer there are ALWAYS ways to improve matters around you in this world.

During my active years as a ham radio fanatic (PJ2FR) I once met a retired American secret service colleague that was in his sixties, had one functioning eye, and climbed and installed antennas as big as the roof of your house all by himself on 25 m. towers. He taught me ONE SUPER lesson:

If you don't have ANY help, make it a ONE man job.

Too many people cry for help and are too damned lazy to go and try it themselves first.

I experience it from close by with my lady's grand kids when they come to visit from Guadalajara.

Awesome trading day if you stick to your own system and not trying to grab each and every pip.

Still long long term and short short term.

Maybe I can even write poems
Fred how are you I was wondering if you spoke to fxdd. I noticed 1 pop spreads today.
Know when to hold em, Know when to fold em!

those guys are market makers....were price takers whose sole strategy is arb.

a lotta times they are selling when they are really buying and vice versa. Our only goal, since we have limited capital, exit our trades with profit. Those guys set up moves which we try to trade.

You must be confusing me with somebody else.

Any renters here would not be allowed playing sex games with minors.

By the way, what is the problem with you Americans that you are hiding your face as much as possible? Makes this look like a sex site.

Had one picked up by INTERPOL earlier this year here in MX.

Fred how are you I was wondering if you spoke to fxdd. I noticed 1 pop spreads today.

At the moment, buddy, 1 pip spread.

YES, when Freddy talks, people listen, ...or start looking for another teacher.

Some seem to forget that trading is only a side job for me.

But not sure if around change of the day the spread stays as normal.

So far it got explained to me as a computer glitch, but I have my doubts.

3611 was an easy call to make, we got 15 mins till NY is back from lunch, should see a clearer direction then. We are entering a range here 3620-3634

Covered, price is still compressing here to form a range, waiting for afternoon NY volume for another trade. Time to get something to eat.

Just an FYI. It is 1:45 pm here in NY time. Sounds late for lunch. I would have imagined people take luch around 11-noon or so.

Yea thanks for that great lengthy, well-thought explanation.. How many years of industry experience do you have?

Market making is simply having a dual-sided inventory; a buy-side and sell-side strategy. It does not change the fact that they are trying to get out of trades at a better price than they entered. It's not at all like comparing apples to oranges. It's more like comparing different risk profiles and appetites for risk.

They are price takers too, because if they need a certain amount of inventory at a certain price they will execute the trade to add to inventory and that trade could have been made to offset another product. It's a more complex strategy, but at the end of the day it is still trading.

To label someone a retail trader just because they take directional bias is wrong. There are several people I know personally and on this forum who have complex FX strategies and they are 'retail traders.'... and they somehow manage to run market making strategies.
