23 did not hold as it looks like, next was 35/40 what i suspected previously.

If that gets slaughtered, then dollar index will be devastated.

It is all about cable hunting stops.

It targets around yet 0.3% gain for intraday and drags euro along.

It really depends on how long he's looking to hold these trades and what his target is. I generally use roughly a 200 pip range depending on volatility of the pair to build positions & I look to hold them for a couple of weeks at least. Maybe he's looking for parity who knows. Most people don't understand it's not adding to losing trades when your building a position because you're lowering your size & you have predetermined areas where your looking to add but you factor all this in before you start so your lot size per add in is only a small portion...


I think I can say, that I am maybe the one who knows most about Mercy here in FF.


Some words to his defense:

Mathematical his "system" can work. If you start your positions at the first S or R levels very very tiny, you can add later to your position with really "huge" amounts.

If the first tiny position goes into your direction, chance is high, that it runs many pips into your direction.

But when one S/R level after the other got taken out, chances grow, that you are simply wrong, but evenso chances grow, that the instrument may get a retracement of some pips. On the S/R levels far away from daily roll or daily pivot you place the huge amounts.


In doing so, you can be, at the end, profitable.



Some words of critique:


a) it is not clear, if he starts his positioning every time with this tiny amounts (but would explain, why he is here 24/6)

b) by advertising such a method, or constantly flooding the threads with his trades, it would be only fair, when he would openly talk a bit about position sizing/money management (but I have never heard such things from him)

c) most people here have no idea, how tiny the first positions have to be in order to keep the drawdown manageable

d) newbies will follow him, because he (very) seldomly post losses. Following him, without understanding his intentions for a trade, without knowing something about his moneymanagement, without understanding his method and tables, is a very good recipe for desaster. Since he posts hundreds of postings every week, advertising his trades, it would/should be only fair to explain his trades (e.g.: this is a scalp, this is a trade for xy pips etc.). But he nearly never talks about targets. By following him blindly, some members here are suprised, how quickly Mercy can change mind and so position, leaving them holding the bag.




Stick to your own method, your own moneymanagement. If you like to follow someone, ask the right questions beforehand........

This is crazy.

If 42/43 doesnt hold then I dont think we'll be seeing retrace in this session.

I am long and loving it, but this really is getting mindless. EURJPY is up 1.72%! That's just plain crazy.

And it's driving the EURO right along with it (as well as the other crosses).

we are not the killers, it's those big men like Warren Buffett, Bill Gate, e.t.c who can make billion dollars within 2 hours or so. They will beat the crap out of usd in the stock market. I'm still holding on this pair 110 pips, now.

I know... let me know how it goes.. I prefer to take opposite positions on u/cad if I want to hedge.. Problem is I'm trying to catch a longer term trade, and e/j's been moving around 114.7596 like a mofu.. that's the level I'm watching for long up to 117. Besides, because my acc. is in USD, this would pay nicely..

And I almost had it... arghhh...

It never makes sense, which is why I just watch the charts and for the most part ignore the loony fundamentals.
