Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Trader or Gambler?

I don't really get videos like this and if you actually believe it then why are you here? I don't understand why anyone who does not believe that you can make money from the markets wants to spend time on a messageboard dedicated to how to make ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

That's it. Trading should enrich a life but it should never dominate it. If I ever am in a position when trading is all that I do, I would want it to be at a point where just a couple of hours a day gives me what I need and then for the rest of my ...

131, how's it going? Good to see you're still around and still trading too. Sounds like you're having an exciting year then? Do you actually get yourself on TV during these recordings then? What sort of shows should I be looking out for you on? ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Hey Captain! How's thing with you? All good here. Slight change of personal circumstances mind you. I got "head hunted" (called by a recruitment consultant!) 8 months ago and got offered an employed position that was too good to turn down. I get to ...

One of my favourite Olympic sports, unfortunately the British team don't live up to the standards of the other nations in both the ability or the eye candy stakes! Loving the track cycling (Victoria Pendleton also makes things easier on this ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Excellent post Cisco and you're right, it's certainly part of the problem. The situation has obviously spiralled since then but it's without a doubt what helped get Greece into the state it got into. They are starting to experience a very long and ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Personally, the answer to your question in over 4 years of trading, is never. Certainly not in an inproper way anyway. i have used Alapari and Oanda US and then Europe during this time and have never once had price clearly manipulted by the broker ...

Why it is possible to predict price movement?

Eo was using S+D all the time, he just used it in a different way. He would often simply buy at an area, mid candle, if he saw it clearly being rejected where there had been a sharp move away previously. It's definitely something to always keep in ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Actually, forward testing it may be as irrelevant as back testing on a sim. The market could change fundementally at any given minute, making your forward testing invalid. I would personally implore anyone to back test in a reliable sim rather than ...
