Fun yes, and potentially a profitable punt, especially now that marketmakers in the US are limited as to what trades they can reverse!

NFP and other news, used to get a instant move, where as it gets a small reaction then you don't get the real move till 2:45pm GMT 15mins into the US's session.

Made some, lost some, same old same old, you know how it is. Bank Holiday week gets a little weird, I think traders want to clear their desks and can't be arsed to do much, I know how they feel!

just lost some, so better than me, just made last week so the universe has it's balance.

The markets are getting less and volatile all the time it seems, not good for us short term traders / scalpers.

Just a little FYI for the principal... Since I cant post in "that" thread I just wanted to point out your once again out to frickin lunch.

You prove once again that your trading knowledge is not smarter than a 5th grader. three guffaws I award you....

You cant buy and sell IBM at the same time? WRONG....WRONG..WRONG

You are not worthy of an explanation! Figure it out yourself ! Your so righteously pig headed you cant even grasp hedging....

Lets give it up folks a big "NUBCAKE" style SLOW CLAP !

I became a member of the forum 7 years ago. As a beginner I spent most of the first 2 years studying various trading systems posted here, using some of them on demo accounts and (unfortunately) a few on my live account. Eventually I created two of my own which I still use with little modifications up to this day. However, the old hobby is not dead. I still test almost everything. Occasionally I find a new idea, an interesting indicator, even a good system that can be made profitable with some adjustments.

But the really fun part is to follow...
It's called survivalist bias, google for it.

Well I can only speak from personal practical experience rather than theory, by my standards the returns were excellent and to be honest by comparison to the 'experts' I wasn't even that good at it! I chose market conditions which suited my analysis style, it wasn't necessary to trade in all market conditions although I'm sure it's perfectly possible. Although I thoroughly enjoyed it, after ~2 years things got a little too intense for me and I toned it down, apart from time constraints it's more comfortable for me to trade longer time frames...

Ill try to move from here to another point again.

Most popular systems calculate numbers and prices according to well known rules, but they are broken as often as they turn out to be "predictive".

But I just found something that turned my head. It is based on the question if those heavy enough to stop and move price, DO have targets, targets you dont even need to calculate. It is so ridiculously obvious that certain numbers reoccur all the time, and it is neither about pivots, nor about round numbers in price!

Does anyone understand what i refer to?
