Hi OIY, nice analogy. There's the cart, horse and cart driver - a system.

When I read FF, I notice this happen all the time. I just wonder why.

Hi Bilal, there's reason why people react strongly to certain opinion. Some opinion, if it were true, does invalidate certain trading methodology in some way. That's the problem.

Hi Pete, OIY's bressert is an example of metrics. Ryan's(ryuryu) thread here goes into detail of metrics that took him years to develop. url A dedicated thread to showcase how Ryan assess the probability of something happening(or not happening) ...

Hi Pete, forex traders are like players in a poker game. The market maker makes a move, then we decide if it's "fake or real". When we "call" a fake we push the buy/sell button to execute the trade. Ofc we "fold"(stay out) if it's real. Poker ...

GEfx, you speak the language I understand, I was wondering if someone else think the same. You use the word intent, that's what the chart tells us. Without intent, Idk how to trade. Example btc has to fall NY session today, reason is intent.

Solid comment GEfx. That's why it's important to me to understand the behind the scenes daily operations then see how this play out on the chart. This connection give logic and confidence to the basis of the strategy design, sort of fill the answer ...

Hahaha.... I'm more concern about staying out of controversy with that line. I'm actually curious about your next point. I don't have an inkling where you're headed. So, what's you next point?

Flying Dutchman

I have answered your questions and I have worded them carefully to communicate my perception(rightly or wrongly) about how this market operate the way I think it does. Just that my answers don't fit expectation. I'm not insisting I'm correct. Just ...

Dealing desk are free to quote inside their session boundary. The session boss instructs this boundary subject to change. Imo, the entire spectrum of price levels have already been decided to take care of all eventualities. Just need the ...

OIY, this is how I tell granny, You see price move up from the bottom of the screen to the top, it's because some bigwig fella picked up his red phone told the banks to do that. The point I try to make is the size of the exchange of funds is not the ...

Hi OIY, I have to prepare some material to respond to your question. Here's the UCAD H4 chart. This last 2 weeks price was trading in a "range" going nowhere. The week before that marked in blue box there's a clear upward shift in the pricing of ...

Hi Pete, good piano analogy on the other thread. I prefer to write my response here. Learning the complete 88keys is a huge ask. Beginners start with the C major scale. Then progress into something that suit their taste, perhaps Dm scale. Plenty of ...

Flying Dutchman

A straight answer - no. I don't think in terms of supply and demand commerce. All I care about is when price approach a "boundary" whether the intent from here is clear or not. Anything in between this range is random, the usual on the ground ...

I don't subscribe into the idea that currency prices are solely determined by supply and demand forces. S&D may be more applicable to stocks, indices and cryptos. Consumers buy from and sell to financial institutions who price their fx product ...

Hi Pete, since it's the weekend I thought I go into some details and charts about target traders. Here are 3 charts, daily, H4 and h1 tf. Drew a "long term" static angular line on the daily chart that cuts through the sample space. H4 shows the last ...

That's why I have been saying "don't trade forex for a living." Get a job. Speculate forex or stocks as an investor - passive income. The hardest part of forex trading is "to walk away from day trading". The brain knows but the flesh is not willing. ...

The criticism against target traders is that the projected target is simply guessing, there's no tangible basis. Why trust a guessed projection when there's real live futures volume data? Criticism against futures volume data traders is that data is ...

Exactly. That's target traders. Now here's the rub, should we trust our calculated limits or trust the here and now futures volume delta? This explains the divide between target traders and futures volume delta traders, what we trust. Futures volume ...
