So excited to see your post but so very sad at this news. I am praying for you and your family. God bless you, fti. I am thinking about you. PS: Re: Big Ben, I think he believes he is above all the laws of economics and nature. I expect him to ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

QE2 is what we used to call debt monetization, and it is where a CB (in this case, the Fed) exchanges dollars for debt. Think of it as the Fed flooding the market with dollars in exchange for government debt. In basic economic terms, there will be ...

Just one of the many reasons why this man is so great. Nice to review his wise words again. Thanks. PS: Do we need to send out a patrol to find him? Missing fti these days.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Perhaps this is what is taking people off your intended course. The word "designed" infers possible intent. The list of things (eg, MT4, tick chart issue, bar/candle observations) were designed to disorientate and make things harder? Designed by ...

I have nothing to add to the thread and wish you all success. No need for me to try to defend or explain the market and its structures. Trading has been good today and I have nothing to complain about. Best wishes and good trading.

Misdirections in retail trading / mt4

Yes. Really. Seriously. Really. It took me several years of very hard work, but in that time, I must say that I never felt like a deer in the headlights, nor that I was hit by a bus. If this is your experience, then I can understand how you might ...

Misdirections in retail trading / mt4

I don't use MT4 Charts, so I can't comment on them. I do not think there are any intentional misdirections in play in the forex market. In fact, most of the time, movement in the forex is very predictable, depending on which "personality" the market ...

After following the discussion on another thread re: an approach to attack mode of trading, I am adding this post on my approach to attack mode. Attack means to add to open positions as the market move in your direction. Here is the action on the ...

I just looked Mamood's previous post/chart a little more carefully, and still agree with the notion of lightening up if you see candle formations that indicate a slowing of the pulse. I appreciate the approach of adding to positions on 5M candles as ...

Happy trading day everyone. Just stopped by to say excellent discussion today. Great topic and I believe fti would be happy with the ideas and issues discussed (would probably warn against being rigid). Been long the G/$ and the E/$ today and now on ...

Mamood, just wanted to thank you for taking the lead on the thread while fti is away. You are doing a great job my friend! FYI -- short the E/J and the E/$ now with multiple positions, taking advantage of the worries re: QE2 I guess. Ride 'em cowboy!

Sorry to hear about your situation, but you are young and have lots of time to make decisions and survive your mistakes. Good luck!

Happy trading day everyone. Thought I'd stop by to say hi, looks like MaMood has been very busy keeping the thread alive and making pips, nice job! I am sitting with several long euro trades this morning, and will head for the sidelines soon. Can't ...

29 hours and still waiting for a reply. Geez, thanks a lot Jason!

FXCM Discussion

OK, if that is the case, at least we can get 9 more months before the required change, which would give the Republicans time to change some of this (if they can get back the House in 6 weeks). Interesting...

FXCM Discussion

Jason, I am currently an fxcm trader and received the email overnight about my account being transferred to the US on the weekend of Oct 15. I have a simple question and do not want to put you on the spot, but I just spoke with dbFx and they are ...

LOL -- Yes, but it's our favorite part of the record my friend!

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I think fti answered your question. My question is, why would anyone start a business or operate a bank for people to simply store their money? If this bill becomes law, it will cost you money to deposit money in a British bank, rather than receive ...
