Limit orders don't move the market, bud. They can influence the market, but they in themselves move nothing, they just sit there. When you see the market move those small ticks, it's simple transitory volatility happening because of small market ...

Volumes traded in the Euro?

You have to remember also that a standard contract in interbank terms is 1 Million. Oanda will guarantee up to 5 million (the last time I checked) per trade. So Adal is right on. You have to remember also what the volumes in the interbank mean, and ...

Volumes traded in the Euro?

Hey Quant, Thank you for sharing. I was not aware of this law specifically, but practically I could see that the most indicative portion of my spread chart came somewhat close to the 30% region of my chart. After long horizons have been met, the ...

Tick Statistics

Thanks, Nology. I suppose I just don't understand the idea. Maybe I'm leaning too much on the idea that in a given sample one should expect to see around 50% of both heads and tails. So after the thousand consecutive run of heads, our 'price' chart ...

Tick Statistics

Yes, I agree, but as you keep flipping and your collection of flips gets bigger and bigger, temporary imbalances will disappear and you'll have roughly as many heads as you do tails. Imbalances happen all the time. When you have a series of more ...

Tick Statistics

I think I see what you're saying, but because there are two possibilities with each flip, you can track the distribution each period. That is what I'm doing with my excel 'indicator.' If there are more heads than expected at flip 5000 for example, ...

Hey Adal, Thanks for stopping by. Shamefully, I must admit that I have almost no background in statistics other than what I've been learning on my own time over the last couple years. I don't even know what an auto correlation is. Sure, I'll ...

Tick Statistics

Long time no see, my friend. Thanks for your response. I've been working in excel studying random number sequences (both excel generated and random.org generated) and have found that it's not that hard to predict near term fluctuations with some ...

Hey Bud, If you think all I'm trying to do it get a last word in, what is it you are doing? My post was completely neutral. I did not say that what PiprPro said means that he is not profitable, but quite the contrary. I excluded his resume, because ...

I'm not responding to Piprpro's post here because it stands alone by itself very well. I am quoting this paragraph because it is the lamp turned on in the mystical darkness. If you want to follow fibs, follow fibs, but when you read one of Skunny's ...

Just remembered..Did you fib boys ever get a kick out of the .236 bounce fib? I sent that to one of you members a while back. It's quite peculiar and I wouldn't trade it myself, but if one were reliant on just fibs, i suppose an entry could be made ...

Thank you for a very fair, well written response.

I don't think you're remembering it right. Bob beat me up because skunny put him up to it. Skunny saw me adjusting the the wrong side of my fib. He said "Scotty, we never never never, ever ever ever, adjust the break side of the fib-- lets get with ...

No, this thread is about a marketing scheme. There is nothing in this thread that will be very useful to anyone, well, not for long anyways. I'm glad to see you concede that you're just a S/R trader. The fibs are still a joke though, that's why you ...

I don't think I've said anything so far to suggest that it doesn't take a lot of time to become a profitable trader, I'm just shedding some reality on how the market works. I wasn't responding to you per se, but to those who are buying into the ...

Heh, Calvinists ...

Your chart goes to show again exactly what I've been arguing all along. The truth is, the market did not use that daily fib, or your skunny fib unless you want to argue it was a zone of S/R. Each point of contact was off. Here again we run into what ...

So here's a question..Do informative prices really exist? Do values really exist? How could fibs, when stripped of their mystical god-given powers, play a part in finding them? This is both a fundamental question about market economies, and a ...

Classic! Had I been the one to find this, it would be my avatar.
