Yeah the change sucks, no doubt about it. As of 11/6 on 8 lots short I was making $39.44 a day in positive swap at Oanda. It is now only $26.95 for that same 8 lots. No change in interest rate since that time. I didn't mind Oanda going from weekend ...

Not necessarily. denial of trade deal could result in a more broad risk-off tone which often supports the dollar-though in this specific scenario, probably more so gold.

This is very impressive. Would you mind sharing any sources or tips on how one would start learning how to perform their own such estimates? Thank you!

Yikes. I image that 1.12 will have quite the draw factor. Curious, how often have you seen price be 50 pips away from an expiry that large that was not successfully drawn to it?

Seemed like a dovish message to me too, so why the spike I wonder? I mean the U. S. data...I get it, just seemed exaggerated. Oh well faded now.

Hi Ata, Just wondering your thoughts on how the current retail long/short positioning effects potential tops and bottoms? Do you consider those metrics in your system or have you found that info to be unreliable? For example, I agree that this would ...

No doubt! Great post GE. How is this thread even still going? There are no successful traders anywhere ever...haha what a joke.

Made back 85% of that loss now. My Trade Explorer will forever show a disgusting drawdown statistic, but I will continue on, using it as a constant reminder of that one trade I let get away from me. Will post Trade Explorer when I've finished ...

Right on the money. So true! The psychological capitulation must occur before the rewiring can take place. Similar to how the armed forces must break down a new recruit before building them back up again, building anew.

Either not looking hard enough or not looking in the right places. There is a lot of published, verifiable success out there, both at FF and abroad. Successful traders do not sell their strategies, because they know they can't be replicated via a ...

OP, you hit the nail on the head with your first post, second bullet point...trading is an art. An artist's pieces are a collection and portrayal of their life as a whole. They encompass one's genetic makeup, childhood, lessons learned; their ...

Well on my way to recovering from the AU loss. I've had nothing but winners again since. Made back 60% of the loss. Just under $11k in 4 weeks...on a $14k account. Will get the trade explorer back up and running once I've recouped 100% of the loss. ...

Check out tradingview. Whenever I see that many long calls posted recently, I love selling. No way all those retail longs are going to win.

BIG loss on AU. I obviously drastically underestimated the effects of the trade war on the Australian dollar. I just kept hanging on waiting for a bounce, that never came. Stocks recovered, Chinese Yuan recovered, Trump remarked that he would halt ...
