Note: Please this is not a joke so do not make fun
This is just an idea
I hope someone can try it because idon't have enough animals
Idea iS:
Why we do not use animals to predict the price movement, such as what is happening in the World Cup
Animals expects who win or lose
Why we do not use animal instinct to predict the price
If there is someone here has a sufficient number of cats or dogs or any animals
i hope he try this i dea
for example:
bring 2 piece from papers and write on them EUR/USD after that write sell on first paper and Buy on second paper
and make your animals choose from this 2 papers
for example : if 3 cats choose sell and 2 other choose buy
then you open sell trade (thats democracy)
(There may be better ideas such as placing the paper in a similar food dishes, etc.)
if you tried it and succeeded
Please tell me

Reminds me of a CFD trading book that I read many years ago; the author said she didn't trade on days when her dog vomited (ah, here it is).

Perhaps somebody would like to write an EA?

Hahaaa, I love the idea... when all the expensive robots fail, all the trading strategy turn useless, we turn to nature... it just shows how we just imagine ourselves to be smarter and more important than all other creatures... Nevertheless, I have a dog and 3 cats.. I can name each of my cats with a certain currency pair and than let the dog be the judge... i'm joking I love my pets and I'm trying to keep them away from gambling, forex, sins, drugs... :-D

because
1. we already have bulls and bears
2. we are smart enough to know those "predictions'' are staged
3. its easier to slaughter the animals and have a barbecue that waiting for a prediction

I've heard a few "gurus" comment on the subject that humans tend to fall into the trap of comfortable/emotional decisions entering/managing/closing trades which lead to "worse-than-random results".

So, you probably are better of looking at animals for guidance in decision making rather than using any human mind which contains the poison human brain chemicals which sabotages the statistics of randomness.

Well, this idea may have some credibility.

According to a Princeton University researcher: “A blindfolded monkey throwing darts at a newspaper’s financial pages could select a portfolio that would do just as well as one carefully selected by experts.”

Well, as it turns out the Princeton Professor was slightly off the mark: According to Rob Arnott, CEO of Research Affiliates “the monkeys have done a much better job than both the experts and the stock market.”

Here is the full FORBES Magazine article about the experiment: http://www.forbes.com/sites/rickferr...at-the-market/

I am sorry I did, a bit.

When one sees what Orang-utans can do to a Hanoi Tower, primates and many other animals on touch screens or birds in pattern recognition, then your idea makes perfect sense. They casually outperform humans in many many ways.

And I should know, for I am at present, dear sir, employed under harsh conditions by foul dealer who blew account and left me peanuts.

I once remember watching Wall Street Warriors, and this woman visited a fund manager who speciifcally focused on trading from what the stars said etc (horoscopes etc; Don't really see how these people stay in business.
