I'm curious to know more. Are there any books that deal with the topic you're thinking about? Is it number theory? Are there any books that address the math and the trading together? That would be very interesting.

What do you recommend? I am already chasing away the few loyal readers I have with the difficulty of the books I'm reviewing now. I'm sure math would finish the job. lol.

I've often thought that if I could just encode 'simple observation' in an algorithm that I'd have the holy grail, but it seems to not be so simple. I think there are probably some profitable traders who simply ask themselves 'what is happening right ...

Well, I probably don't have much to contribute. My own learning journey has mostly been a series of negatives and disproven hypotheses. I was having fun for a while coppering the public's bets, but then I find some of the bets may not even be real ...

One last snipe. image The week was in fact, bearish. Those bankers were very tricky indeed. Of course a nimble trader like RickM probably just changed their mind before too long.

We know it's the same trade as it has the exact same MTM value, 143.07. The target has changed. If those other EUR/JPY sells are partial exits he should still be at 7 lots, not 5. Very confusing. No, I have to assume those other E/J trades are ...

Review How do I feel about this? There’s no doubt that Jones is highly clever and his twist on FF MM has been picked up by dozens of trading book authors if not actual traders. I can’t find any fault with his FR method. However much of the book just ...

TimeTells, I have added it to the new book list, but I'm anxious to complete all the books that are already on that list. I'm a completionist that way. Time Compression can be the first book after that.
