GUESS WHAT GUYS!!!? I just applied for a job at the local bank and I GOT IT!!

In related news.....................There's a bank out there that got raided today by the F.B.I. (Fibs Being Investigated). Rumor has it that the bank would hire somebody off the street, and tell them to hit a big red button at certain fib levels, that would buy or sell a huge amount of a certain currency pair. The only problem was, that every time the button was hit, it was really stealing 38.2 million dollars from the federal government's budget. The F.B.I. says that 23.6 people are involved in this scam, and are seeking each of them receive 61.8 years in federal prison. That's the news. Back to the blues. The market is closed every week for 1.618 days. Have a fib-U-less weekend.

If there are plants that grow this tall and others that grow that tall, when it comes to a pair, you'd have to know how tall both grow, on average. To use the fib on Eur/Usd without considering the Euro and the Usd, separately, then you're only praying. Even if you take both currencies into account without pairing them, you'd still should know the players that move the currencies. By this, I don't mean simply only speculators, but corporations, as well. How often does Apple pay Foxconn or whatever to make some phones?

GUESS WHAT GUYS!!!? I just applied for a job at the local bank and I GOT IT! My job is to press a BIG RED BUTTON every time that prices come near the 61.8% Fib retracement level. Luckily I only have to monitor this level, and someone else has the job of watching for the 38.2% retracement. I say 'luckily' because if price is allowed to break through the level we are tasked with watching then we get fired. We simply can NOT allow price to break these levels without alerting the bank beforehand so that they can quickly send some orders into the...

Bravo..... this is one of the few times that I've noticed someone
mentioning corporations, et al

This is why (EXCEPT IN YOUR OWN ACCOUNT)
Forex is not a zero sum game

and fibs are just that

i'm not sure how often or at what price, but i do know that it must definitely be on one of the fib extensions... steve accepts nothing less than 100% !

the whole fib thing strikes me as a whole lot of hubris. people thinking their mathemagical numbers mean a damn thing in a world of monetary transfers. yes, with all of the banks / fed dicking around, and businesses moving money and hedging their exposure and so on and so forth, the BIG money is definitely with the small clump of muppets painting rainbows on their 'professional traders' mt4 chart.

it's like seeing the barely human hirsute beasts with their coke-bottle glasses adorning their faces and a pepsi and pizza welded to their paws drooling over a super-serious game of pogs or yu-gi-oh or whatever it is uber nerds live for. guess what folks.... nobody in the real world cares about your infantile obsessions. shocking!

It could be possible, maybe, to come up with an rocket-science equation that would help out with the fibs. You'd have to take literally everything into account that's done on all the markets. This is why I don't like Gann trading, where people use the locations of the planets and whatnot. You'd have to know where our solar system is in relation to other solar systems and how fast it's moving and all the astronomical stuff. Way too much information to be accounted for, especially being a retail trader.

It's really simple folks. Connect a bottom with a top, look at the Golden Ratio for the next drop. If proper money management is not in place, look at margin call in your face. You know, it's like old nursery rhyme, "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All of the Kings horse, all of the Kings men, couldn't put Humpty back together again." Do you know why? Because Humpty didn't have a R:R ratio that was golden.

Pivots, fibs, square root, flipping a coin, flushing the toilet, (if it flushes clockwise, I go long, if it flushes counterclockwise, I go short), you name it. What it all boils down to with the markets is mathematics.

All righty... I got 'em all after me now. I perform best when my back
is against the wall.

Your above post is totally RIDICULOUS. FX has very little to do with math
which is why FIBS are ludicrous.

I challenge you.......

WAIT !!! I think George Soros just said 2 +2 =0
now.

So it isn't FIBS.... it's George calling the shots

right???
