Sometimes it makes you wonder how much the economists reporting this crap actually know about the economy...that's probably why news trading is so hosed....you got the wrong clowns analyzing it!
Thats right my friend, these are no experts....if they were they would not run around those shows and spew their nonsense, they would be making money trading...but as long as the sheep believe they are "experts", they are a very valuable political tool for those that own this grand casino.

Talking heads talk, traders trade.

Anyone who uses what they say to make their trades is the one who is at fault.

We make the trades. We get the credit or the blame.

I bought EUR this morning 13761 TP 13830. Lots of support levels down there. I've been focusing on the higher time frames to make my moves now. We slingshot out of the abc down into the higher time frame up wave, squeak. Simples.

While I was watching the devastation in Japan on Bloomberg early this afternoon they went to a trader on the floor at the Exchange before the markets opened and he said that the bulls wouldn't want to lose the 1,300 level on the S&P going into the weekend but, if they did, he expected a sharp sell-off at the end of the day. I think the S&P was at 1,295 or so at that stage. Needless to say, the bulls won.
Nothing worth having is easy.

You just proved with your post how absolutely clueless you really are. When was the end of QE? Let me see, right after I made that post, what you think happened to the dollar after that one.

Don't just be a muppet, always look at the second half of the pair.

Not really clever now is it taking a post of mine out of context, the only thing you achieved is show all here how little you know.

Keep providing the entertainment kiddo, that's the only reason I am here. The more you try to attack me, the sillier you just look yourself.

Ah well, just got...
It's all good cloggie. He tried to direct me over to baby pips, when I made a statement that I didn't understand why people continually kept trying to sell today... lol

According to him, the only reason we went up was because of a illiquid market.

It just never ends does it...

Cloggie,

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
I enjoy reading the posts about the muppets. Although I don't claim to know anything with confidence and I am still trying to understand all there is to know about forex. Sometimes I feel like a puppet and like the story of Pinocchio, I want to be a real boy. ha ha ha

I am a fundie/news/price trader.
I have a few questions.
What is a news trader?
What is a Price trader?
When you say look at both sides of the pair, are you saying to look at the fundamentals that affect each pair?


Quoting cloggie
you need to look at both sides of the pair, each half can either go up, down or range, that is 6 conditions you need to evealuate to trade a pair. That's why 99.99% here just can't be bothered with the fundies.
What are the 6 conditions that you evaluate before you enter a trade?

Quoting cloggie
I love them, today was a great example how a fundie trader can make a killing, he knows when all is aligned in the same direction and go in heavy.
Once I am as knowledgeable as you, I hope to one day say I love them too... I also want to make a killing in forex.

Is it possible to make a living from Forex alone?
Also, where can I find a mentor or can I learn all I need from Forex Factory?
I think fundamentals are very important, but there is so much.
How do you know what to look for and how do you put it all together?

Quoting cloggie
There are some days that fundies rule, if there is no news then I trade purely technical. Earlier this week I took a fundie trade with a technical target, it worked beautifully and collected 11 trades at 105 pips each. (posted it here)

Some days it can get frustrating as the fundies and techs are so opposite, then you look at the risk or correlated markets to see what the big boys are thinking.
What technical skills are the most essential in your opinion?
Honestly, I am not a big fan of indicators or having pasta looking noodles all over my screen. However, if I need them I would gladly learn them.

Final question.. Did you teach yourself every thing you know now through only trial and error or did you get your hands on some good study material, mentor, etc?

Again, thanks so much for taking your valuable time to read this post.
Best Regards,

Pair me up

really don't see what's so fucking funny.

we got hit by a massive quake today. it's ok where my house is atm, shook up badly but still standing. but the tsunami wiped out a big section of the Chiba coastline where some of my friends and family live. we still can't get word and phones and electricity are down in most of the north. some parts of the city on fire with buildings collapsed.

is very very bad situation here.
My thoughts go out to you and your nation,
i hope things improve in your country very soon.
Take care.

Money and aid will be sent to Japan. Oil will be uncertain (as well as other commodities). Given the absents of normal trading in Tokyo,,,,,,,,, Any long term prognostication is likely to bite you in the a$$.

At this point the Dollar has lost some luster, but its still a means of transporting aid around the world. Transferring money from Dollars to Yen will move the Dollar and Yen as well as all cross pairs. The same is true of what the Yen are spent on, widgets from Australia will effect the AUD and all cross pairs. You get the point (abnormal order flow).

I'm not saying you should ignore what happens on your chart, but over runs in both shorts and longs are possible. Take it for what its worth but my opinion is more of a short term "take it as it comes" and get out.

Yes, True. Nothing is funny that costs lives. Sometimes foreced to think the little people build hopes and houses - sigh upon sigh and brick by brick - and then someone shakes a big hand to may be dust-off the sticking dust and everything comes crashing down - lives crushed out, hopes trampled...........build again.........not unlike this FX-GAME.

Just like in FX, most - 90% know nothing - they write to fill up the news pages and their Cyber-versions simply because that's where there breakfast and Lunch comes from - you can't expect wisdom from wage-earners and the joke is many Fundi-followers think they are in the presence of Economic-Gods - base their actions on what they read and come crashing.......If this was not so then many of the muppets writing in FF would be taken up as Governors BOE and BOJ and FED and all our problems would be solved ........

I am greatful you are alive. I am praying for your family and loved ones.
thank you my friend, Patience, and everyone else for your kind thoughts.

it's really hard to comprehend the level of destruction we're looking at here. my family and friends are safe and all accounted for which is a major blessing. there are many who were not as fortunate.

in the meantime we've decided to relocate because of the situation at the Daiichi and Daini plants.

they've said that the radiation levels are now 1,000 times higher than normal at the facility and the pressure levels are also abnormally high, so they are venting radioactive steam into the atmosphere and have evacuated a 10 kilometer area so far.

I remain hopeful they get this situation under control quickly, but we decided it was better to leave now, purely as a precautionary measure, so may be offline for a while, but we're ok.

see you guys soon

yesterday i had a buy till evening market was diving and i was in red.....i started buying every 50-60 pips....finally market ,moved up and all my 5 position came up green...i closed all my position with 1500$ profit....so if your account is much bigger then u can also average it down.

averaging down is much better option then hedging.

I am sorry for your loss but you have now learnt something very important. Know when to take a loss...

All the other stuff you can play as much as you like with.... SL & TP and lot sizes...

Golden Tip:
If you want to make money trading and this goes with whatever you want to trade, stocks, futures etc...

1. You have to be dynamic in your trading if you want to survive longer than three months...

2. You have to listen to yourself and try it out with a small acc. or demo... Walking your own path...

3. Probably most important if you are trading intraday is to only be in a trade for around 10-20% of your trading day... If you are trading to frequent you are only "scalping" your acc.

On the other hand you can trade longer term and be in for the long howl.

There aren't too many scalping Intra though. Meaning that you are only in for a couple of seconds / few minutes....

looking at the 5min chart isnt scalping which I have seen many in here is saying.....

Anywhoo, getting my beer And close your Bear...
