I have a uk bank account and I trade my own money. To me this constitutes a 'background in finance'. I dont risk more than I want to lose, unlike a lot of individuals who look after other peoples monies....

bro I will check her out, but just watching her reaction so can cross reference yen aussie with aussie usd, it worked fine today, but with boj tinkering (badly again) is bit early to say if she will be help, will give her a couple months, should know by then bit better

zones working nice again today, except eu, she still lagging but I defended as posted 2382, pretty tight tho, as important level for bull and bear
cable has been best zone today, aussie and kiwi just fell from open and again asian opens them was easy, brit is like big dangling candles from zones nice short scalping, hve 2 runners 1 top open z and top 1 asian zone, waiting see if them will offer more pip presently held by 1hr 50sma 7 times since asian printed 30 pip range

how was your transition from floor trading to pc? is it much different in terms of analysis as I imagine placing orders is totally different game.
swing it!

it looks like a double top on the hourly chart. I see it coming down before going up.

I mean I was a programmer on the spot floor working with the traders/quants, so automating a lot of stuff for the traders so gained real good understanding there. Tech analysis was all the same as we know it, but they take fundamentals to the next level.

I am sure you did, it is like watching masters at work, what I missing in FF is a thread from a guy who use to trade in such environment and care to share experience, I guess all of them are busy making money and leave forums for us "kids".
Thanks

probably a lot of interpretation/anticipation work made inhouse by analyst and economists.

there were a lot of guys like that on the prop desk at my bank, till they closed the thing

we called them "the white canes", by analogy to blind people, trying to find their way hahaha

cant put my finger on E/U today

either we are going higher or we are going to have a tiny daily range (i cant see much lower than 1.2310)
Be hopeful in a winning position, and fearful in a losing position.

I am careful with longs.. Yesterday low was aprox. the same as the Monday one.. Take a look at today's high and the Monday one.. Charts might differ slightly but you'll get the idea..
I still like shorts better..
