Wait, before you close it down, please send me the pairs and time frames where they behaved exactly the same. I'd like to look at that. Edit: BTW, the preponderance of evidence presented here was on the "real" side. There was no evidence presented ...

First, I'm not distorting anything. Go back and review your previous posts. What is "strong abusive language" to some is a dose of reality to others. You are the one who claims special powers, not me. But really, this has not been a discussion about ...

Hi moodybot, I don't think it's much of a debate when Team Algo refuses to present any data or proof of their claim regarding the existence of the single algo. But, to the claim that several pairs moved exactly the same way: I'm really interested in ...

Hold on a minute...are we now back to this? You have a special insight into the market before the market knows what's is going to do? Weren't you full of despair a few pages ago, questioning your forex experience and declaring yourself a failure? ...

I think we're slowly drilling down to the root purpose of this thread. Sadly, it's not close to what I thought was going on here. To your first point, I bet if you called your broker, they could tell you their data source. You can learn a lot about ...

Hi BWilliam, Yes I live in both camps. I see market structure as being primarily a function of fundamentals, with a little TA thrown in, and market narrative as being primarily TA, with a little fundamental thrown in. I study FA every day, and have ...

Hi TT, I've never liked the 5 digit thing on my broker. He shows the E$ in 5, but the G$ in 4. It annoys me, but that is life. If I were a banker, I'd be challenged enout keeping track of 4 digit, and my head might blow up if they forced me to track ...

I remember the CHF plunge and it's aftermath. I was looking at the charts, listening to a conference call with some of my trading group, and had turned away to set down my coffee cup, when this big red candle suddenly appeared on the chart, and ...

Anticipating the next question, let me add, that the reason you seen similar chart patterns in a decentralized market using a single system is, that the banks operate regional offices all over the world, and they all have the same constraints and ...

Real or Algo

I'm waiting for the ECB, so I've had time to skim the thread. I saw your comments. The market is decentralize, in that, there is not a single controlling authority over the forex. It's a system that everyone uses, but actual "control" resides in ...

Morning all, time for another GA level update. The level at 1.7995 has been breached, and the level at 1.7955 is being re-addressed in PA as I am typing this. Standby for a change in bias, right? Time will tell. There are several intermediate levels ...

Cheers to you TimeTells. Yes, fti is the best person on FF. He is incredibly giving and thoughtful, a real thought leader, an experienced tier 1 trader and fx manager, a very good trader, and I think of him as a good friend. I owe him more than he ...

I think those on Team Algo are like people who believe in unicorns and bigfoot: they insist that non-believers prove they don't exist, rather than present proof that they do. I've asked a few dozen questions about The Algo, but no one ever answers ...

Real or Algo

BWilliam, you are more than welcome. I have to say, however, that your question seems very basic, trader-101-level stuff. The proper use of TA and what someone should expect from it seems...apparent if not obvious, at least to the experienced ...

First, I gave my GA levels yesterday and updated it today. What I wrote will be the basis of my reply, because my "levels" analysis is exactly how I use and think about TA. The objective of TA is to identify, via historical data, how the bankers ...

Real or Algo

Time for an update on yesterday's post of GA levels. A new, ST level has developed at 1.8062'ish, which makes sense given the top level in the recent range is at 1.8095/1.8105. The bottom level in this range is 1.7995, which has been heavily tested ...

Real or Algo

Regarding TA: I recommend reading the first 300 pages of the TAF thread. Take copious notes. BWilliam, looks like the GA has been in a box since yesterday. The lower bound is that 1.7995 level, which may be tested soon. But US FA is coming up, so ...

Hi BWilliam, Sorry, I had to run a few errands and had a dentist appointment this afternoon. I'll stick with the GA, but if you require a different pair, just let me know. This is from my chart work from this past Sunday, and it remains applicable ...

Real or Algo

Hi BWilliam, Yes, I can do this on all the pairs I trade. I am a target trader, and enter trades that are destined to move to target, exit at targets, and respond quickly when things don't go my way. That is how I've traded this week, and have over ...

Real or Algo

I'm going to suggest here that the people who set 1.3900 as the ST upper limit on the G$, knew about this before you. It's not been a very big secret this week. In fact, just about everyone that can read a chart, or pay attention to FA, kinda knows ...
