Hi BW, do you want some intent-to-target trades posted here? Just checking before I post anything.

Hi BW, I'm glad to see you started your thread, and best wishes moving forward. I'll keep and eye on your progress. Take care and good trading (I've been in and out of the $J since the CS news hit last night -- wow!).

My last post was about 45 pages ago, when there was an ongoing discussion about intent to target. After reviewing the last 7 pages, it looks like you have moved on to more professional topics and trade issues. Intent to target is an approach that ...

I've been contributing to the intent discussion by talking about my intent to target approach. I've tried to be crystal clear about what I'm doing: 4H targets, PA around those targets, bank signal of intent, bank follow through to next 4H or ...

BW's discussion about intent to targets has been largely dismissed by some of you. I thought I'd take a moment to belabor the points BW has tried to make here, by showing how I used intent to target on the G$ today. I posted a chart earlier on the ...

I have a few thoughts to share regarding intent to target. First, you have to be competent in identifying targets. Targets from the 4H are important, but there will be daily targets that result from the unfolding of PA. The basic idea here is ...

Hi BWilliam, yes you see this notion, a precept actually, of intent to target, in forex trading over and over again. For example, on the 1H chart, look at how the GBP/$ has traded over the last few week. The target of 1.2150 was established several ...

I've only skimmed some of the discussion about volume in this thread, but I have not seen any clear evidence that the few forex data sources are viable from a retail trading perspective. However, if you trade forex intent signals to targets, then ...

Regarding intent and targets, to embrace these concepts is to abandon any notion of randomness in the forex. Targets are part of structure, and intent in part of order and discipline in the market (not predictable, but probable). Both are ...

BWilliam, good to see that you're posting again! This last point is critical. Traders must know levels/targets. The intent is to move to a level. Execution of intent can be seen after retracements, when PA demonstrates support for the move (over and ...

That's an interesting question, and my answer is based purely on conjecture (CFDs are not allowed in the USA). I'd assume a CFD is always priced higher than spot price, so they will "never" be equal, but the delta between the CFD price and spot ...

How is price anchored to reality?

Hi fti, glad to see your post. So sorry to hear about your health situation, and I continue to send prayers for you. Please stay in touch!

I reread my post after reading yours. I was sure I had clearly stated that my comments were directed towards forex trading, and had provided a definition of the term edge. With that in mind, if you reread my post, you'll see that I framed my ...

Where's The Edge?

Hi BW! Re: the G$, we traded it down all London, which was consistent with structure and the narrative out of GB. About half way through NY, the Feds unofficial news leaker, Nick Timiraos from The WSJ, tweeted that the Fed was about to pivot or ...

Where's The Edge?

Not to spoil the stated purpose of this thread, but in reality, there is no such thing as an edge. An edge implies that, if you can discover this one thing about the forex (I assume we're talking about trading the forex, while logged onto Forex ...

Where's The Edge?

SNB has a bank, likely Credit Swisse, that's been short dollars now for two weeks. The dollars are probably needed to cover short dollar derivative (used to hedge their dollar assets like US Treasuries to the franc) that are under water due to the ...

Hi BWilliam, sticking with the G$ for this discussion:
