Morning all. Was away yesterday, couldn't do any trading. So, it seems down is still the way for EU. Well, at least for today. London apparently changed their stance from bull yesterday to bear today. I'm going short @ 11870 TP 11440. Then I plan to close half and target the other half @ 10830 moving SL to BE. If London keeps the pressure, with the US in the afternoon (they are bearish since last friday) the target(s) should be reached. GL everyone and green pips.
And setting SL @ 11870 BE...

The '3 sigma' statement doesn't mean much in the context of fx returns as it makes the assumption that the returns are normal. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/68%E2%8...80%9399.7_rule). There is ample literature showing that fx returns are not normal on any time frame. Since the tails are fatter, 3 sigma events are not as rare is they would be for normally distributed returns. Rama Cont (2001), de Vries: Stylized Facts..(1994), Pictet, Dacorogna et al: Statistical Study of Foreign Exchange Rates (1997) are good introductions and widely referenced. Hope this helps.

first most important knowledge to gain when using stochastic processes in financial markets:


read all about fat-tails, how mighty they can be and how frequent they are (hint: more than we would like)

The pragmatic criticism of technical analysis could lead to EMH.

Thanks people! The concept is more or less clear, I'd just like to find out more how to apply it, eg. in this case how to get to '1.22 is a 3 sigma event'. Is there an indi of sorts?
I've read that the SNB de-peg was a '20-sigma-event', talk about fat tails... This is interesting and I'd like to find out more about the underlying calculation. My logic here: I thought the likelihood was very much below 0.5%, but if general belief puts it at 0.0000000...01 (didn't calculate, please be gentle), it actually made more sense to trade the other way...

Structure h1-4 looks quite bear, this should crash support in next 2 days. Hard to find short entries there though(atm). EDIT: m15 print LL, shorts on table if there is strong retrace.
There it goes...

Got 3 scalps, got 2 lost one, pretty much BE, nothing else at all to enter.

Fresh 11th year highs in the dollar !!! and Euro hanging by a thread.

1.116x breached intraday and imminent break in play for NY if we hold the breach until the opening range. 1.118x marginally open for a counter play till then.. Session pretty much done at the top of the hour...

Tracking v closely euro for NY....

for me price movement is kind of

S = k log W

In practice it means: Entropy is the sum of all micro-stati in a macro-status

When entropy gets to high, price may need to find a new macro-status. That are the moments, where we can see the fat-tails.

After that, price most likely will build a distribution in a new macro-status (or location). To bet on mean-reverting processes in this new macro-status is far more successful than betting on mean reverting towards the old macro-status
