No offense taken. Unfortunately, and I am not proud of it, but I trade with my gut a lot more often than I'd like to admit. It's still one of the things I'm trying to work on... I do not claim to be a genius, but I am definitely not a n00b either. ...

Perhaps, and you may be right. I don't know. I could see your point of view and understand where you're coming from, but I still don't agree with it. My gut feeling tells me that this could be a giant, MASSIVE headfake, and a change in direction is ...

Hi tacticat, Thanks for your message and apologies for my delayed response! I'm usually active at the USD/JPY Discussion forum, but that's about it. Unless I get a personal response to a message, I often won't come back to the thread ...

Why Would Someone Sell a Highly Profitable System?

Understood, and I couldn't agree with you more. I know how to read order flow, but I can't make money from it. I'd rather trade the technicals. But then again, the top traders at my old prop firm were stellar tape readers and relied on it solely. I ...

Is anyone here an institutional trader?

lol Skenobi, I don't even know you, but I already like you. I just saw this post, and I know it's a little outdated, but I found this to be very, very funny (and yet true) I have tried my hand at professional trading ...

Is anyone here an institutional trader?

You should be doing OK now on that position if you held it until now, and perhaps even a few pips of profit! Up to you where you want to close it now at this point. Pretty soon would be a good time imho. I'm already long from 101.18, but I'd buy ...

ugh lol that sux dude I can totally relate to that, that's the kind of stupid stuff I do, and have done. But don't give up, there are still big yen moves coming...

lol you really do sound just like Gordon Gekko. Perhaps that is why I like you .... Ok off to bed.... g'night!

Do you believe this market is random?

You are right, the debate doesn't really matter... but since it has been started, I do feel somewhat compelled to prove, at least to some extent, that the markets are not random. I think the real questions should be: do you know how to take ...

Do you believe this market is random?

lol Proximus, I love you dude

Do you believe this market is random?

Amen brother, I think you nailed all the key points. I can tell you that I definitely suffer from a case of poor risk management when it comes to my own trading, but it is something I am always trying to work on. A lack of consistency ultimately ...

Do you believe this market is random?

Fair enough, that is a good, albeit, neutral argument. Although you will not sway me in my belief(s) that the markets are NOT random. I would love to prove it (my beliefs), and could only hope to do so in the near future. I can assure you that I am ...

Do you believe this market is random?

Lolololol... There is a reason we are not friends

Do you believe this market is random?

Although I do agree with you Proximus, you certainly have an interesting way of putting it. But I knew I subscribed to you for a reason! At least we can agree that the market is not random and if you think so, then... take it with a grain of salt... ...

Do you believe this market is random?

I just saw this thread and wanted to share my opinion. Great topic, btw. Very interesting indeed! I do NOT believe the market is random. There are unique and complex structures in the market that can be seen time and time again with the proper lens. ...

Do you believe this market is random?

I think, at this point, there's no harm in holding onto your short trade a little longer. I too would not want to be short at 101.24, but since you are, here's what I would do. Also keep in mind you are only -10 pips so that's not bad at all and if ...

USD/JPY Discussion

Read a few posts on this thread... and here are my thoughts. Most of you are right and the majority of the EAs these days are for suckers... I know, because I've tried and tested a number of them. At the same time, however, I am quite honestly ...

Why Would Someone Sell a Highly Profitable System?

May the pips be with you, sir. I'm off to bed... too late for me. Night all!

USD/JPY Discussion

Just be careful. I would urge that to you, and to Mr. Mpt...... Ok, and to myself.... And anyone else who trades... The USD/JPY ain't going below 100... no way. It probably isn't going below 101 either.

I guess U/J could go a little lower from here, but the dips WILL BE BOUGHT... image
