All right. Today I'll start with the cable. The last few days have shown that waiting for something right there. The cable is currently attacking "important" line. The level is now 5120. Close H4 bar above this level can start such a movement. {image}
penetration?

{quote} that goes for all forms of TA, doesnt it?




Funny, how after years the same bullshit comes up over and over.

As there is some single statistical proof that PA alone would work.........


Where is the statistical correct disproof of EW, Gann or a few other methods?


I can state, that any one, who thinks, that indicators, Gann, EW, or what ever, does not work, has itself no clue about what trading is all about. Period.....


So let us try something together:

FXMastermind can be... abrasive at times, but that said, I think he is correct in that traders tend to over think things to much. The danger in over analyzing a trade is that you in turn put yourself in a position where you believe that your analysis cannot be wrong.

I have learned the hard way, blowing two accounts in the last 4 years, that the market doesnt care about your analysis and will do what it wants. Since I figured that out I have been very profitable by simply reacting to PA and paying attention to Pivot Points.

My two cents

you're pretty sharp with the correlated stuff, I can't look at it that way, there is to many variables for me.. I just go for the right or wrong approach when there's a setup..

I gotta wait for some confirmation before I start looking for bear entry..

lets see what happens today , it's been choppy last couple of days, lot of people getting chopped..

{quote} any form of investment decision really, that is based on price. {quote} I think I know the basic premises of TA. Point is, scientists say itīs all junk, donīt they? I believe "noise trading" is the term they use at the moment. Yes, once in a while there is the odd paper, claiming to have found evidence that, under certain circumstances, in certain markets, select technical trading strategies can beat totally random entries, but they are a minority (maybe they just want to stand out among their peers - lol). [color=#0000ff]So...
thatīs hardly the right definition of TA.

I will try to find those papers for you. Anyway, there is a huge difference between WHAT you use and HOW you use it. Let me give you an example. Letīs have a moving average. There was a time in the history of trading when there were several proponents of trading via TA entirely using so called MA crossovers. As we all know, they work nicely in trading markets in give huge whipsaws in tightly ranging or choppy markets. Does it disqualify MA as a tool entirely? Not really. You can still use it as a help for your eye to see the trend and its slope, for instance. Or as a moving trendline.

I hope you can see the difference between using technical indicators blindly and making trading decisions based entirely on them and using them to help your eye navigate within PA. Btw, as I said before, psychology of the crowd has also to be taken into consideration. The most widespread tools of TA (such as MAs or trendlines, for instance) tend to work better simply because they are being used by such a vast amount of people and "collectively shared" which helps them to work by this simple fact alone.

Look, that is some of the nice examples of pretty worthless stuff


calling a trade, when it is safe to do after being in pseudo-profit for 20 pips


when you got balls, you had called the trade right when it happened



BTW: did you seld on the ASK?

The funny thing is that most indicators work nicely, its just that so many fuck up the timing and the overall trend.
