@FTI & all, my thoughts about yesterdays..

In this month, I feel like I understand alot more, and the fear will naturally creep in. The fear and feel of a rogue wave hitting, the before and during and after.. It is something to be remembered and thankful for.. Experiences in this month, I am lucky to be able to saw it in the charts, when it happen, and experience the emotions/feelings that is going on.

I look to MO to pull and steer me clear, like the ships, the capital, but at the end of the day, it is the captain, it is me. I am given the chance in deciding if I wish to sail in the waters, to thrust above the wave, the maintain, to maneuver, or to head in the opposite direction and try to out run it before it comes.. MO is really of utmost importance, how the deployment goes, the execution, the patience, the fear & greed, the killing, the blood

The water may be calm, but pulling out... abnormalities like yesterday events were overlooked, complacency.. and a what was actually a chance, but due to a lack of agility in mind, was a tsunami for a -4% dd .. The captain me, is definitely angry, frustrated. But humbled that it is a position that is still doable and cut-able should I feel best.

In this New Year, till date, lessons are in abundance, and the year have just started, I wish & pray for myself and all, for guidance, and agility. For health, courage and strength.. to flow and be clear and sharp.

I will once again, disappear and lurk.. learning continues as always.

To live, to learn, to flow better.


Regards,
Fall in love with the process, and the outcome takes care of itself.

haha, got look at euro, but i feel more intune with audusd during the qe, and since i can use more margin with audusd, i can sharpen my mo abit, and skew my attack size abit more so used audusd, i think for margin 1.25x audusd = 1x eurusd or something

well jpy has some movement, long a scout in it.

though i feel like something is going on in the market's undercurrents, jpy crosses are too correlated, wonder if the yen carries are active in the markets currently, especially since greece's election.

{quote} you converted full time trader?
nop, i just monitor from time to time, and i kind of reduce my exposure by alot during the day where i might have oversight, so i only trade mark up and mark down moves and ignore rangy moves, only at night when im free i have my usual size.

actually, wednesday/thursday got fomc, maybe everyone waiting for that.

recently i have been thinking about the 3 kingdoms, it was interesting though as to how the 3 kingdoms relate to mean reverting traders doing arbitrage and how it relates to options and black scholes, i wonder if arbitrage is really as safe as it sounds, but it seems when correlation tears, it should provide an insight into fundamentals which are changing, and may provide a good divergence trade.

ok i almost done with dancing. actually hor "mean reverting traders doing arbitrage", arbitrage means mispricing in two places and then taking the opportunity to instantly to make free money risklessly. then mean reverting is traders fading extended move from the avg. these two looks like no link leh.

yes,since i started watch markets in 2014 dec. although analysis can still be done on the 5 min bars, seems the decision making need go higher time frames already.
also the tradable impulse range is become to 30-40 pips instead of 10.
Note the change pls.

In fact i not feel need to trade , maybe until after CNY.
They can wait in hunger. Now just hold fully backed purchases.
The algo tried get my account stops, so i put a little more $ in to broker from main account to sustain the volitility.
I hope i not live to regret that.
Regret that after dying is ok.
anyway CNY coming , no talk dying.

respect your ancestors that your years maybe long on earth.....jesus.

peeps no respect their parents, they ain't worth shit.......fti.
Peeps no love their brothers as themselves, they also ain't worth shit.
Whats the worth of cain and abel to you?

Some things , it has no price.
Honour, love and trustworthyness, is priceless.
One can know a tree by its fruits.
Places no have these ,then they need learn.
Is ok, God will teach them, I not god.
The power, glory and kingdom, is all God's. I chose never rebel God.
Who can be greater than the one created everything.
One only has small time window, use wisely.
The Fact the one only have small time window, tells everything of what one is.
Just like in markets.

yep, because i had an encounter, i went for an interview once with a proprietary trading firm, it seems they say they are doing arbitrage strategies, and it turns out to be statistical arbitrage, and that day itself was the snb eurchf peg lift. so it kind of made me wonder if trading mean-reversion is taking alot of risk with low probability for stable, frequent and average returns, because when they tear because the fundamentals change (say 90% of the time the pair is mean reverting but 10% it does not revert and the volatility between the pair tears greatly), if they are trading the 90% segment, what happens when they hit 10% of the statistics and cannot find liquidity to get out like in the eurchf peg lift, and won't their action actually cause the volatility to exacerbate even further and take out alot of people together with stop cascading?

also, when we see correlations tear and not revert, perhaps something on the fundamental front is changing, and therefore, the information might be on the tape sooner than it might appear on the news, hence, we might be quicker than the crowd in getting information, like in the audusd and nzdusd and cadusd pair, they used to be correlated, until recently, audusd feels like there are many different forces affecting it, apart from the commodity relations, perhaps carry relations from other currencies are kicking in too.

i not know how to say.
but is thoughts like this gets peeps killed in markets.
total and uter confusion.

You don't understand bias thinking?
Just observe and follow. is so dang hard.
Is either you trigger on his ass or you swing wide and run.
you want win everytime you best have you numbers right.
You cannot expect get in right position everytime.
Is what you do when you detect someone on your ass that saves you butt.

Once detected , you swing wide and start dumping to regroup resources.
observing on the turn ram the run.


regards

and you not understand arbitrage.
arbitrage is have back to back scalp.
what's the arbitrage you talking about?
How does one arbitrage an event run?
seriously what arbitrage strategies you talking about?
When a run of any sort happens all arbitrgers duck/or hands off, what you doing, arbitrage in runs?
In runs any arbitrager caught will jettison load.
and regroup in another zone.

arbitragers with no reserves regroup , or no huge resources they just kaput.
