{quote} Everyone trading (or trying to) should know this! But what i actually see, mainly in forex but i would say in every market, is that there's a wrong school teaching to over-trade! By school i mean all advertisements around the web done by some brkers, but also i mean the industry it-self is inclined to produce new people able only to just pay!! This is sad indeed. Some people say that this is the way how it works... 'only 5% traders is profitable' they say, 'there is an hidden hand moving market against retailers' they say, 'learn...

Thanks for your post.Sometimes I post things other then charts and not sure If it resonates...
To further dwell on this. Last year I read brilliant book on Jesse Livermore Reminiscences of a Stock Operator
and didn't get much from it.I attributed that to my not enough trading experience.After a year recently I reread again and I found packets of wisdom on so many levels that I could not believe I missed in 1st time reading.
Jesse started as scalper then as he gained more experience evolved to longer term fundamentalist trader.He kept mentioning words like supply and demand and kept a keen eye on macro economies.
He was huge on waiting for right time to enter the market and on one instance waited 11months almost a year for trade to close profitably.
I feel close to him partly because of his tragic end and also that he is from few towns away from mine.
Many rookies are surprised to learn that Livermore, the idol of so many great traders, advocated a lower maintenance, higher patience approach as he matured. In his early days, Livermore was dependent on the short-term funding and scalping activity of the bucket shops. Once he graduated and had his own capital, he was able to lengthen position holding times and could even afford to do nothing for extended periods.

Here are nine surprising things Jesse Livermore said regarding excessive trading:
1. "Money is made by sitting, not trading."
2. "It takes time to make money."
3. "It was never my thinking that made the big money for me, it always was sitting."
4. "Nobody can catch all the fluctuations."
5. "The desire for constant action irrespective of underlying conditions is responsible for many losses in Wall Street even among the professionals, who feel that they must take home some money everyday, as though they were working for regular wages."
6. "Buy right, sit tight."
7. "Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon."
8. "Don't give me timing, give me time."
and finally, the most important thing:
9. "There is a time for all things, but I didn’t know it. And that is precisely what beats so many men in Wall Street who are very far from being in the main sucker class. There is the plain fool, who does the wrong thing at all times everywhere, but there is the Wall Street fool, who thinks he must trade all the time. Not many can always have adequate reasons for buying and selling stocks daily – or sufficient knowledge to make his play an intelligent play."

Morning Gents, Anyone else hoping for a break below 159 last night, or was I asking too much? Best Regards
You were asking too much. Consolidation cycle had to complete first. Maybe Monday will be the day, but I firmly believe 1.5900 will be tested and hopefully broken.

hello
of course it's like this!! i mean...if there are reasons allowing a move, the move comes, why if the reasons are not, the move does not come or comes in opposite way!
but what do you mean by fake data?!

I was aside during NFP (better safe than sorry when you are a newbie) but thinking of shorting GBPUSD on Monday will be watching out a retrace to 1.6050 or so

looks like a fair entry point or the retrace is expected to reach 1.6100 ?

thank you all

I mean they play with the jobless claims numbers and everything to give direction to markets,and sometimes make huge reversals with false data, I don't believe even one single data they release.All central bank chairmans and presidents are puppets and they read what big bosses give them.

If this means the markets are predictable I agree, looking at pairs and indexes one can figure out where the pair is going most of the time.If you cant see the move in euraud, most of the time audchf shows the way in euraud or audlfx itself.I agree with you in confluence in trading.I have catched many big moves in euraud like that.

"And right here let me say one thing: After spending many years in Wall Street and after making and losing millions of dollars I want to tell you this: It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight! It is no trick at all to be right on the market. You always find lots of early bulls in bull markets and early bears in bear markets. I've known many men who were right at exactly the right time, and began buying or selling stocks when prices were at the very level which should show the greatest profit. And their experience invariably matched mine that is, they made no real money out of it. Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon. I found it one of the hardest things to learn. But it is only after a stock operator has firmly grasped this that he can make big money. It is literally true that millions come easier to a trader after he knows how to trade than hundreds did in the days of his ignorance."

my main concern about us job data is market's interpretation of them!! i mean.. if we compare us unemployment (example) with european one, together with many other data, then the EU rate should be reversed (i mean 0.85) since market gives so much importance to these data... actually i believe there is way too much importance given to us job market data fluctuations!! so i also suspect something dirty behind these data, but as many other things out there in trading, one can't be sure about!
