Master of Universe

Hi all . I am starting this thread to help/show a direction for all new traders or not .I will make this as easy as I can because I'm not a good english speaker and i think simplicity is better . It is possible to make money in trading because markets (players) are wrong . Efficient markets don't exist .Why I tell this ? Because bubble exist and big money are made in bubble (you buy in the beginning of a new trend)or when exploding (short sell). Now if you ask yourself how you can catch a bubble or when you are in a bubble you ask the wrong question because nobody knows .Examples : Tulipomania , Silver/Gold, WTI or Bitcoin .

What you can do is to develop a trading strategy/system that consider the RISK and SHOCK Prices(unknown) your best friends .Shock prices can be positive or negative .How can you prepare yourself for shock prices ? Just respect RISK .If you are long on a stock and make a huge gap up then it is a positive shock but if the stock open with a down gap you can loss more than your initial risk .Use 0.5-1% capital for every position .But you need something more,a portfolio.

I'm interested, why did you call this thread Master of the Universe?

Because of Soros (Paul Tudor Jones considered him a master and others) . When i start trading i heard about Soros and i studied him but then nothing have a sense for me .Now i think he is right .

He is an excellent example, good luck in your trading

A trading strategy/system inculdes : Risk , Portfolio, and the system that generate trading signals.
Risk : use 0.5 or 1% from capital (or use Risk adjusted with volatility ATR etc.)
A good portfolio include : Stocks (from US,Europe,Asia etc.) Futures and Forex .
This are the result from a easy trading strategy i developed some time ago.

I don't need luck ,just discipline .Anyway thanks .

This is just a example of a simple ma crossover system (ema50&200) that catch the bet made by Soros in JPY .

Fundamental events (wars,disasters etc) and news often shape future price movements of financial instruments .But there are times when actual price have the power to shape future events like wars ,riots ,central bank interventions etc .

I do not understand what you wanted to say.You are trying to say for ex. that the collapse of an currency or index can cause a war or something similar?This is noting new,every trader is aware of this.Why you don't explain how you can identify on price analysis that in future is possible to start a war,a political change of regime in that country?Because you can't!

secondly how you can know when soros shorted the yen ?!

so after 2 years i was right, actual prices can shape future events. its interesting it was a failed coup

so are some people on this forum long silver or gold in this turbulent times? im also long russian ruble, the trend is my friend.
