I wonder why it is that you don't appear to trade the news the way that the Institutions and (ex-) Floor traders do? I traded the GU on the UK Manufacturing PMI this morning. I traded it long for 15 pips (an Undercooked trade i.e price not ...

So you are probably wondering if All news releases can be traded like that? All I can say to that is not by me they can't. For me to trade a news release I need a nice uncomplicated release (not too many others out at the same time). I need one that ...

I just got an email from Carlos Diaz (of Foresight FX ) about whether it is a good idea to trade News Releases. Of course he says no it isn't. But he obviously knows crap about how the Institutions trade News Releases (or even how the ex-Floor ...

@Ishtana. Steve oversimplifies in his teaching, there is nothing in trading that works all the time. He was just trying to highlight the most probable patterns. Everyone is different and sees things slightly differently. I am hopeless at level ...

Hi Ishtana, I couldn't stop myself from commenting (in Blue above). BTMM is not teaching Gartleys. They are using the indicator (ZUP) as an alert. For me, I don't see the point of that - unless you need an indicator to tell you what you can already ...

Better, but still not good — Hi Tiki, I just want to pop in to say that you are doing better. If you limited the loss to only 30% that is so much better than a total wipeout. You have never had any problem in making pips, just in hanging on to ...
