Great post, now I know why I vouched for you earlier. I get the feeling we are at similar points in our understanding of the markets. I know given the right person with the right discipline levels systematic technical trading can acheive those 90% ...

Gone with the wind - We are Weathermen

The biggest money doesn't have to be right, they ARE ALWAYS right because they drive the market.

Haha I can think of a few, one thing I do know though, I LOVE RANGES now. Actually what I should say is that ranges aren't ranges at all they are pip making machines. LOL

No probs Nub , just try to stay positive. Remember, all that is happening is the big money players are constantly looking for liquidity, hunting stops and trying to bring in orders in the wrong direction and then reverse, it is as simple as that. ...

You need to be careful sandboxing perfectly good and tradable methods whilst looking for the elusive one that just happens to flick your switch at any given moment. It may never happen and that would be a crying shame.

I think the answer is that, not all systems are equal, not all SR levels are equal and not all trends are equal. You have to work out which ones work with the highest probability. It takes ages to do and a singleminded determination to crack it. My ...

I forgot to add that we have no fundis, indis, etc to worry about, pure price action and even that isn't looked at in the traditional sense, hammers, beebs, etc. A bunch of candles are just dealer / market sentiment to me now.

Agreed not 100% but with common sense and hours and hours of screentime it becomes second nature. Also I find having a solid set of rules will aid learning because you can reverse engineer the failures and impliment new rules thus improving the ...

Yes but what if you were given a system that said go long when the price is above a 100 level and has minimum 75 pips to the next 100 level, be conservative and target the next 80 level NOT the next 100, put a stop 30 pips below the trigger 100 ...

Yes I guess I have been quick to judge, mostly I find the best in people then realise it is undeserved. Hence my possibly incongruous buddies list. On the whole though it is a good representation of the research I have done in trying to BREAK my own ...

Marv, you have been an inspiration to me so thanks for those comments. I should elaborate, every candle on every timeframe tells me a story now, that is all I need, no mas, vsa, fibs ,pivots or orderflow numbers, the candles tell the story, it is ...

We think alike, thanks

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Ok if you want a public discussion then fine, I am profitable and from what you have said in recent posts you are not therefore you need help, if I am mistaken I apologise, but all I ever wanted to do was help you and anyone else that was struggling ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

phew, can we shake hands and get together via pm sometime soon, I am not a fighter.

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

My apologies, the random comment wasn't directed at you at all. I am not all knowing yada yada. Defensive, no way.

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

I am not fighting and I don't have an ego. Ever heard the saying you have to be cruel to be kind? I don't wanna be anybodies friend particularly, but you can never have to many friends. So I say it how I see it. Some people on here have been posting ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

but you do need help

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

haha, yeah so funny, if you took the time to read most of my buddies and vouched for peoples work then you may win at this forex game.

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Sorry buddy I am actually trying to help you. I understand the market and I use a system to trade it profitably. I realise well enough that you cannot be bothered, so no worries.

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

I must be insane then. Ok nfp and interest rate announcements if I think about it. But I forget to most of the time.
