May be it is a stupid Q but just to know : Counter Trade is something like Short Covering ?​
If dont, could you explain differences ?

​t 03-50 here and I helped out at my friends club (yet again). I speak of stats, I do not use them in the same way as you play poker whereby you have 52 cards and you can work out odds/percentages once you see played cards, same with blackjack. The Daily Break , 04-00 Break and Daily Inside Bars have massive odds of making 10 /20 pre spread. Claudia says she doesn't use stats as such but the stats say Daily Pivot has big odds of being hit and when a 00 is close ,that too has big odds of being hit. (stats) Stats show how long a losing streak...
As usual very concise and useful.
I start to keep keep stats for 4H, Daily Break and IB Daily.
And one more time thanks to give some lights to fish like me ....

trying to make everyday the best risk/reward decisions possible

no problem SB and good morning, look at a stat too like a football team at top of league playing a team close to the bottom. The top team will show good stats at mainly winning these lower placed teams BUT sometimes will draw AND sometimes lose.
When I trade i expect to lose and I have a second plan. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks.

How do you answer that in a few words! I do buy from time to time just not last week very much.

I basically look at numbers, where the price has been should give a guide to where it's going.

Avoid high impact news and wait 30/60 mins often get a retrace.

Watch the daily pivot - unless market is in a steep move up or down it often gets hit and can provide intra day support/resistance.

Look for consolidation areas and subsequent breakouts.

Breaks of intra day 'trend lines' can be useful.

Watch the big numbers 00/50. If it breaks the 20 on the way down good chance it will go to the 00 area. Same with 80 on the way up

Previous days high/low are often good targets.

Keep an eye on different time frames. Mainly I use 60 min, but like the 15 and 5 for entry confirmation.

Also I tend to stick mainly with one pair.

Finally keep stats - Billy made a good post above and he's right.

Put it all together you got might have some sort of a system!

Short covering is closing a losing position. Counter trend is trading against the trend in anticipation of a reversal.

Hi, Claudia explained it. I say I counter trade and my friend says that isn't a counter trade lol.
If I am wrong at least I know what I mean
If I am Long and then open a short (long still open) I call that a counter trade and vice versa.

What you do I would call recovery trade or even hedging. Doesn't matter what you call it as long as it works.

I love fx peace army. Why do people keep giving 10's of thousand to these binary option firms Most of them are Russian or Israeli and unregulated (or regulated in Cypress which is a waste of space).

​t 09-04 cable made +10 and it looks like it broke the 4 hour trend line so hopefully it will keep dropping. I am still short on A/U and just watching Cable.
