Good job Michael

Below quote from link specially good reminder for me:

"You may find that over time, your positions that makes better ROI
are those that started out badly timed but in the right directional trend.

Normally the good first entry trades have lesser ROI,
this is due to the human nature.
Mankind seems to find courage and bravery in adverse situations.
This is one of the reasons to have a fibo spiral rescue and a linear constant attack.
The rescues are of shorter tenure and the attacks should have a longer attack tenure(multiple attack sequences).
This allows for rescue of capital on bad timing and ability to ride on long trends moves.
As on longer tenure trend rides, you may have short strong attacks when you detect opportunities, but do not overstay the strong attacks for too long, leave only the smaller positions to ride. "

Merry Christmas all! Now off to make rice porridge

Rgs,
Baifu

Hi Guys
Going threw the Thread There is another important thing that FTI explained about Support and Resistance Levels
Here are the Links i thing it another "must read" in this thread and in trading in general

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...93#post1750893
___________________________________________________________
"Resistance and support levels are never absolute.It changes as time progresses.
Your trade positions must change as the chart progresses and a continued analytics be done.
DO NOT try to read it once and have a set mind of the possibilities of what to expect.
The analysis is an on going process and every new bar added will cause new developments.
Never read the patterns that form on the chart, rather recognise it when it forms,
and follow it with a trade position.
Chart patterns can mutate as time advances
and a fixed perspective to the pattern that has formed is dangerous
as it palalyses your ability to change when the dance changes.
Althought it is foundational that you should be able to read the pattern formations,
you should not draw those lines on to your chart.
They can form optical illusions to your mind and
impair your ability of new developments that is coming onstream in the charts."

Ask and Answer
LUSAN : I notice that PA tends to bounce away on the first touch of a S/R. Is this correct?
FTI: No. it is wrong to assume that. Support /Resistance Zones are test zones. Mostly the market 's behaviour at these areas either are very volatile or congested. Being test zones, its behaviour would be derived by the volitility when this is tested. High volitility suggest continuation after a few sweeps, while low volitility thrust indicate distribution. It is impossible to read into distribution, suggest that positions be off loaded or squared off if distribution is detected, and to follow development until impulse re-surfaces.

Is anyone finding that following the flow becomes very difficult in high volatility? It feels broken up and it frustrates me.

Quoting the redlion
to be honest the scientist in me, needs logic, not intuition nor ball park subjective information processing.
if you can do that, then my hats off to you.
to me A+B=C so then BC=A and to me, when trading because i take it as a business, it is important to have objective data.
so to your question, no, i chose not to use simple eyes.
don't you think?
I hear you redlion, you have a lot of thought there in your several posts.
Once all that info is internalized and tempered we begin with fti mo to begin to feel what the pa is doing and take note with your eyes and develop your response till it becomes an art.
You know, just like the race car driver that built his car to all these specifications, gauges, etc. and once on the track battling other cars for position going 225 mph. he is going by feel not the info that got him there.
Now back to our developement.
cheers

with a correct feel, proper mindset and right MO with comfortable skews, a volatile market is the place to be... but again it's just me...

if you cannot stand the heat, stay away from the kitchen, as the saying goes.

A Blessed Christmas to You!

Just ran across this and was wondering about the European banks borrowing 480 billion euro at 1% last week, and depositing 410 billion euro at .25% this week.
