Dealing with chaos

If this was facebook I could just like this comment, but I'll have to settle for this little guy--> . Trading is just a game--you need to become a good player and it takes time. Make no mistake though, it's an intellectual, mathematical ...

Help! Finding emotional aspects of trading very hard!

Open interest in everything but the dollar + gold selloff + EU's problems that have yet to emerge + China's impending rate adjustments = you are dead wrong. Betting against the dollar is going to bite a lot of people in the butt all at once because ...

Eur 1.7 , Yen 65 , Aud 1.2

Your question depends entirely on what kind of information you are trading on. If you are trading technical signals, you need to have some idea about the performance of that technical signal in the price structure. I mention this because often times ...

What stoploss do you use?

The implication of my post is that Oanda may very well issue refunds to those who were adversely affected if you can show it was the result of their technical problem. If this is the case for you, and it was their fault, I'd ask for your money back. ...

Get an Oanda demo, then on that platform select "Resources">>"FX News" In Oanda's news service you can filter out news to only IFR content, although you'll find that more than IFR is useful. Take care, Jim

Forex Order Board

Nice post, Adal, as always. FX is the perfect market for algos. A program could keep populating what looks like small order sizes in the que, but because there is no tape, it takes a while for those consuming that liquidity to know they are in ...

Volumes traded in the Euro?

Well, learn what the patterns are, then test a few decades of data in Excel to get an idea of how special those patterns really are.

What do you think is the best (fastest) way to learn PA?

Whoever is trading 50 Yards via a bucket shop is a complete moron. The only way I could see this as a remote possibility is when FXCM is sending a large aggregate order to the interbank to hedge their own book, and in doing so they don't move the ...
