Further to my last post, I have noticed that some interesting discussions have been taking place this week here and there. One such is the structure thread, where there is talk on the subject of time. Unfortunately however, it seems the view there ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Pretty much everyone fails to understand that there is only one true constant, and not just in trading, but in everything. Once that fact is recognised, then that constant can be used to a traders advantage, because it is actually the most important ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Plenty more posts this week from all and sundry. EG, we have the trendline thread, which is obviously flawed in a number of ways, not least that ambiguity angle which I've mentioned before, and which still has not been properly addressed, judging by ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

A quick tune in here...but hardly worth it! The same rubbish, the same serial posters...all trying to promote themselves..... especially some of the ridiculous ultra complicated methods requiring absurd analyses or/and the ego maniacs who are ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Will be looking to buy somewhere in the rectangle, prob later on tomorrow, all in line with stuff I've discussed. This chart shows that no candles are really needed, just tap and my own kind of t/l in this case which I use for stepping when ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

All platforms, by design, are populated with candles, mas oscillators etc as standard, which is not really meant to help the trader, but to confuse them. The brokers obviously don't want regular winners, and they know that no one is capable of ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

All that you or anyone else needs to know about me is contained within my posts. Yes, I have a zero b/s tolerance. I only post and discuss any live trade I take. Other trades that I may have taken (if not posted with a chart etc) will not be ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

I happen to trade when I see an opportunity to enter a position..... but I don't see how your question is relevant to anything I've spoken about.

Trading Journal (only my take)

Taking an entry at what I consider a value level is a key component of my approaches. This means that not any old trigger qualifies. Of course I must have tap in place always, which provides a few things, including my directional bias. A ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Someone asked a question concerning what level of skill is required to trade. It's a fair question (I guess you're new to trading), but not a straightforward answer though. I'd say very little skill, in fact none. Familiarity of trading platform is ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Any method worth it's salt must first and foremost be simple and reliable. We see many methods that are perhaps reliable but too complicated, or simple but too unreliable. A method that can combine both the simplicity and reliability angle without ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

I still wonder why anyone would want to give away a supposedly successful method....there will always be a motive! Could be any of the following The need for recognition due to insecurity Ego The method isn't actually any good Looking for help but ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Of course, if you have a rubbish or overly complex method in the first place, then naturally rubbish end results are bound to follow!

Trading Journal (only my take)

My simple tap-based method along with a very easy and unambiguous t/l confirmation nearly always produces my desired result sooner or later and that is the case with my UJ trade for example where I knew I'd need several bites, and have now cashed ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

The tl thread looks to be growing in popularity which is no surprise to me. As I said previously, it has the real makings of a long lasting thread, but as yet, it still hasn't overcome the ambiguity aspect, where several tls could easily qualify as ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

There was a sizeable move south overnight, which suggests to me that the banks haven't quite got the level that they want to start buying. I had a suspicion that that might be the case, mainly because everything looked too obvious to me when I ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

UJ live long trade entry. Smallish initial position to allow for further entries if required. Will update as and when as usual, even though it doesn't seem to be of much interest to others whether I do or not truth be known. H4 chart attached at ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

I don't know what your point is...it's uninteresting to me whatever it is

Trading Journal (only my take)

Just a pov. If someone has a concrete system, why would they want to fully disclose it on FF or any other forum! The answer is pretty simple....they wouldn't. So, that obviously should suggest to everyone studying others so called concrete methods ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

One or two threads are becoming interesting recently amongst all the bs ones. The trendline thread for example has a few things going for it imo, and even though it seems a little too convoluted and ambiguous, the basic concept looks to be capturing ...
