Has anybody tried going to the actual data source, like U.S. Department of Labor or the Fed?

Here's my down home redneck thinking on money management, I'm not a math whiz, or anything, just a blue-collar dude, I put 5% of my account on a trade. I only take 1 trade at a time. With 50:1 account leverage I have 250% in the market. That's 2.5/1 ...

Probability System Theory and Money Management

In the business I come from, the only way you can make money is by being a dick. I have slowly learned to stop being an a$$hole to people here on FF because they usually have intelligent analysis to offer. Most people in the autobody business are ...

Thank you Forex Factory!

Thank you FF!!!!!!!!!! — I may come of as a little abrasive and confrontational at times, because I am, but I just wanted to take a minute to thank FF and all the folks here for the help you've given me over the past few months in seeing the ...

Thank you Forex Factory!

Back to the thread topic, now cable shows an impending double top, it may turn into a head and shoulders, I don't know. However, all these people who say it will break 2 are f&#cking crazy. It's out of steam, it may range now, but it definitely ...

Like I say, one man's reversal is another man's consolidation, is another man's correction. If you trade 5min charts a reversal is a 10 pip move! All this terminology comes down to time frame, and we actually screw ourselves, collectively, by not ...

Now, to piss off Mr. Trend, I will say that cable has reversed again! Go long, my people! I use terminology that fits my timeframe, which is 4 hour charts. I tried dailies and can't stand holding 'em that long, that's just my personality. In my ...

The big bankers and other hoodwinking types started to long cable 5min before the FOMC rate announcement at 19:15 GMT today. That tells me that these boys are looking for longs. Look at the 19:10 candle right before the announcement. Go back and ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Dude, you're the opposite of a lot of us. I have a problem that I've just gotten under control lately, and it's overtrading. I seemed to feel like I always had to be in a trade, I would either seek out a pair that fit my system, or I would seek out ...

I Found my Problem!! (under trading)

Forget Cable and check out EUR/AUD, it's fixing to golong in the next few days, might be a mover...

I don't claim to know, nor have I considered, the possible effect of these specific UK announcements. I think they will be muted, probably, due to FOMC on Tuesday. The market is in a "wait" mode. However, if they do move it long I am not worried ...

GBPUSD

Okay, UK PPI , Housing, and trade balance comes out then, I guess. If it has a nasty effect it will hit my rolling stops for a big profit on short trades on GBP/USD, not a big deal. I'm looking to get out of these anyway so I can long it when things ...

GBPUSD

Okay, I'm back from the weekend... Ouch! I think I drank too much booze... Anyway, looks like my shorts are holding so far, here's another part of my thinking on this kind of stuff. We're 2 days out from an FOMC rate decision. Usually when USD pairs ...

How did that NFP work out for everyone today on Cable? I just held my short and watched it go up and down, laughing as everyone freaked...

Mr. Trend, John Wayne is done for tonight. I just noticed that another epic white man's journey, Braveheart, is on the tube as well, so I'll be brief. God didn't create churches. Man did. I am a staunch believer, but if God created churches, why do ...

GBPUSD

Well, until I quit making money from it going down, I wont quit the shorts. I'll watch the stops and when I finally get stopped, which will happen, I'll be up on my account. Then I'll happily go on my way and you will make money, too, when it hits ...

GBPUSD

Trend man, you have to forgive me for being dogmatic and full of piss and vinegar. I come from a place that some people only see in their nightmares and I'm trying to rise above it. I fight for every inch. Anyway, this is a thread about Cable, so ...

GBPUSD

Screw NFP, trade the dailies and look at it as a bump in the road, or a bump in the right direction, however it turns out! Excessively short-term trading is exactly what the big banks want you to do. They even gun the indicators on the 5-min charts! ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Like I said, bro, one man's reversal is another man's consolidation, and it's another man's continuation pattern. It all depends on your personal time frame...
