a better one for all the traders here, since all of you are losers:

sell high and buy low

well this is your view. my view is that news is already priced in and unexpected disasters/news will move the market in the news direction YES but it should not be able to do so against math which means you should hit the technical targets against the logic of the news first and then start reversing because of the news... because the money is accumulation of the past not only the present...

the only explaination of such shit reversals to me is that: few players are much much bigger than most of the other players, they can simply move the market...
Market do change mate and evolve, and that is why attempts to automate trading will fail eventually. If market can be automated, why the wall street are paying those high paying traders to work for them, right?

anybody explains this technically to me. (technically and not the bullshit fundamental view) i believe in science and i am a pure technical trader who can nail 10 trades in a row but one trade like this every 10 trades ruins all the profits. if science cannot explain what happened in this chart then trading means losing money. (please don't tell me about some economical prospects or whatever, i am not a magician who can guess what is SNB thinking about doing in this second or the other...)
I think Overall trend is still down despite recent moves. talking about your entry level, i think it could have gone either from there, but going up held more possibility than down. GL

Like I said... in order for news to have "already been priced in" you are implying that people already expected and put their money in the markets in anticipation of what is to come.

You cannot anticipate the odd events. Nobody can.

because they are morons dude, cant you see banks falling one after the other going into bankruptcy?? the only people making money consistently are the market movers... the ones that have big shares in the market otherwise all other winners had a lucky streak and will come to an end if they stay in

The only real change in markets are levels of liquidity. A markets only function is to maintain a balance between supply and demand. Interbank (big wall street traders) have a huge advantages because they know where these big levels are since they have information you don't have and they all talk and scratch each others backs or asses. Tight moves and arbitrage automated systems provide a huge chunk of the liquidity but the large swing moves and bull runs happen by the guys wearing Brioni suits.

I so much concur with you. Trading was so easy before 2008. All it took then was to buy low and sell high. Recognizing the highs was as easy as seeing an evening doji star or an equal and opposite candle pattern at a resistance pivot level and short to the support level. Counting waves was taking things to the extremes. These days, the levels don't even count any longer. Some people somewhere just opens their mouth, short or long a currency using exponential lots from printed money and change the topography of the market just like that. If not for strict money management and discipline, I could have bet my life on seeing 4188 today. But now, I ended up staring at the charts, looking at what seems to be a bearish flag on the 1 hour forming, but no plans of taking it.
Don't just beat the markets, leave bruises.

i can show you my EA... if you back test it from 1999 with the most accurate tests, demo trade it or live trade it before august 2008 the black curse month... you will get 25% of your account... and that this exponential... i only was able to code it in early 2008... did trade live on it for 4 months before august 2008 after demo trading 5 months and back testing since 1999... reached from 2k to 14k on my live account while sleeping then in august everything changed... the results since then are neutral...
i withdrew only 8k out of the account and stopped trading that system since...

i can literally tell you, when you see the EA your mind will blow. its like the impossible became possible...

i fucking hate AUGUSTS AND SEPTEMBERS
