See below. Intu, you are onto it. Let me see if I can better explain what I think it is that you are trying to say: If by statistical analysis you determine that you could really have made more or lost less, then adjust your rules. ...

An Edge In The Markets

I'm sorry to break your bubble like this but this is not true. Without a working knowledge of the markets (what moves why, how and when) and without a proven method of entry/exit you are no closer to making profits regardless of your efforts in the ...

An Edge In The Markets

I respectfully disagree with this, mostly academic, understanding of the markets. I would define edge as the ability to profit from the moves in markets in a consistent fashion without regard to the method that was used to arrive at a profit. If you ...

An Edge In The Markets

I find myself comparing trading to professional sports more and more every day. Case in point - what you described above is very similar to someone who start a marathon, has a look at the leaderboard halfway through and decides to call it quits. ...

An Edge In The Markets

It isn't. It belongs in the commercial section.

Report Analysis Tool

Well said, Pipalicious. Mitigating risk in most cases is the simple task of putting in a stop loss and not moving it away further from the price as it 'does its thing'. The sad part is that so many newbies move their stops away from price and add ...

An Edge In The Markets

If your trading strategy doesn't put any limits on you then you can always try a synthetic position. Say you want to buy SEKJPY for the swap, then you'd have to buy USDJPY and sell USDSEK. The USD positions cancel each other out and you'll be left ...

SEK/JPY Broker?

This is a topic that has been discussed at length here in FF. Instead of asking questions that have been answered before go ahead and read the previous 'random' threads first (see image below). I'm saying to save you time and save the forum from ...

Grailaholics Anonymous

The European session, starting from London open (8 am UK time) should be just for you. There is more information on sessions in the pdf files on the first post of this thread.

Jankone M5 thread

According to health professionals that book is mostly bunk. I would stay clear of health & medical books claiming everyone else is wrong and their 'new' approach is just what is needed. Plenty of research has been done on what the human body needs ...

It's worse than that: S&P SAYS LEAST 1/3 CHANCE IT COULD LOWER L-TERM US RATING WITHIN 2 YEARS (from Mr. Laidi's tweets).

Psych Levels, Pivots, and Trendlines - Resurrected

Very sorry to hear that, Vantage. My condolences to you and your family.

Higher low, lower high system

I'm sure they have. The European open, the European-US overlap and the first half of the US session are the most active. See this for more details.

Jankone M5 thread

I'm not Vantage, but I've saved and bookmarked a lot of posts around FF. Medici and Vantage have talked quite a bit about the European open. Here's the answer to your question, you will find it under 'how the market works'. You will also find some ...

Higher low, lower high system

I'm not a health professional but from what I've read and heard, one has to include some kind of aerobic exercise into the mix. This is the only way to improve the oxygen uptake and increase the number of capillaries. Toga and meditation are fine ...

What's your way to keep fit, strong and healthy?

The indicator is pretty much straight forward in its application. Even though the name has 'gold' in it you can use it with currencies and silver just as well. If you have a 5 digit platform you need to set 'sublevels' to 1000 as indicated in the ...

Round Levels Indicator

Don't concern yourself with that too much. If Jankone had thought along the same lines as you, we wouldn't have this thread. The only thing you have to keep in mind is not to talk too much about quitting one's job. As for charts and trading talk, ...

Jankone M5 thread

I'm very glad that you liked it. If figuring out how to treat your brain is something that interests you then I recommend you pick up a copy of John Medina's Brain Rules (I've mentioned the book here once before). John Medina has also visited the ...

What's your way to keep fit, strong and healthy?

I recently discovered a new podcast (I'm a fan of learning new things via podcasts) that talks about the human brain. In episode 33 of Brain Science Podcast the host talks with Dr. John Ratey about the brain and exercise. You can download the show ...

What's your way to keep fit, strong and healthy?

The volume article is very useful if your trading strategy is centered around that, but the article is more or less just to sell the Marney volume indicator. Don't get me wrong, I like like the concept behind the indicator and I wish someone would ...
