Clemmo quietly following your excellent book reviews. I've got another one for your list - Unknown Market Wizards by Jack Schwager. I recommend it as a read for everyone, especially thinking about what's the connection between the disparate kinds of ...

The Finance Book Club

Excellent idea for a thread Johny. I've also tinkered with it for writing code (as a non-coder) but it tends to jumble MT4 and MT5. Suspect it works a lot better with pinescript because it's a much simpler language. Anyway interested in your ...

AI talking

Years back I went caving. It's a claustrophobe's nightmare, full of tight corners, one-way passages, tight squeezes and pitch black save for your headtorch. The guide- one of a handful of an international cave rescue response team - took us through ...

(binned per thread starter’s request) The 80-20

Not entirely sure I understand the question tbh, are you saying chart is made up of emotional waves? You can look at it like that - maximum pain theory, trying to shake you out of position, gunning for maximum stops etc. I prefer to look at it as a ...

nothing to stop them at all and some buckets definitely do this, although I'd be surprised if bigger ECNS do it only because regulation is tighter. And yes all this does impact profitability. Deal size on interbank is a *lot* smaller than people ...

Replicating trades of profitable traders' theoretical questions

Ah looks like eikon implemented slightly differently so explains the difference

Catching monster waves during recessions

TV is great for this - so much so Eikon bought their charting and integrated it. It's rebasing. Just add 2 instruments as you did and select relative performance rebased to 1, and you can export the data if you need. The shit show writ large:

Catching monster waves during recessions

You asked for experience of hypnosis, not validation so why the jumpiness? I'm saying excess is the cause. Overtrading, undertrading, underperforming, revenge trading - all of us know what the issues are. Hypnosis made no difference because it ...

Any Traders here familiar with hypnosis?

I tried hypnosis with a trading coach for a couple of years. The hypnosis part didn't really help in all honesty, but looking back I believe it could have been if we focused on the right things. All good trading depends on equilibriums both of ...

Any Traders here familiar with hypnosis?

That's the oddest, most interesting book I've seen for a *long* time, thanks for posting

My private 1 hour talking with multi-millionaire

This still remains about you though- what I mean is what can you learn about how it's applied to the structure of how the market operates. You'll come back to it at some point no doubt.

bold behaviour! video

Strategy of losers

So the obvious answer is to make yourself aware of the behaviour, monitor your 3rd trades after 2 wins or losses as its own metric. Don't cap your wins. But there's more to it. If this is part of normal human behaviour - which it is - what does that ...

sounds frustrating. You're probably over-leveraged

I had my doubts about this thread to begin with but I was wrong. I just spent a few hours reading some of the more detailed posts - this content is a Magnum Opus and quality reading. Thank you Peter.

Objective Thinking And Trading

Odd thing to get annoyed about but you'll have to take it up with the industry - google it.

Strategy of losers

over-leveraged just means using more leverage in a trade than you should be. You can call it oversizing, gambling like a coked up cowboy, betting the farm, putting your bollocks on the line whatever. But mostly it's known as overleveraging and ...

Fair enough. It's a chicken and egg-fest. Self sabotage is the number one reason for blowing up. And the number one reason for self-sabotage is because we all (well most of us anyway) hate losing and love winning. And the most common reason for ...

Gosh you've resurrected this from the dead Welcome fella. what to say? ok three pointers... 1 ) Trust your own judgement. I'm pretty sure you know deep down if someone says it can't be tested, testing's a waste of time, just believe in what I ...

I've sent nothing to you - I simply posted a link of a proper trader above. What makes no sense? His journey? Or the fact he trades different instruments?
