Fine, understood, but then would you lock in profit? That is my question. Oh, that reminds me - trailing stops.... I've never used them but can I assume they fall into the same bucket is stops?

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I understand the positions are small, but I still don't understand why you do it as your teachings discourage it. If we are not there to look after our babies, I was just thinking you would leave something open if already in profit and the signs are ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi fti, you mentioned you would at times leave small positions open overnight. Can you explain the MO for these positions? If in profit, do you lock it in?

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I like that one. For me it is also knowing what to throw away. So your latest avatar looks a little older? Perhaps in your 20's?

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Well, well, well, you were a handsome young man, weren't you? So I suspect you are in your late forties or perhaps early fifties? Correct?

Technical Analysis Fallacy

What I was suggesting is that the title of the documents be posted (at least) and not necessarily the documents themselves. That way people can obtain them however they see fit. It will also help those that may stumble across this thread down the ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Thanks fti, your explanation is what I was expecting. I have only once had an order filled at the better price but this practice would not be encouraged by your method. I once had a TP set that wasn't reached during the week. After the weekend, a ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

fti, do you ever make use of limit orders? You mentioned that "smart" traders use it as entries for break of ranges. But that is introducing rigidity into the system right? As you mentioned, sweeps are fairly common so limit orders on the break ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi fti Just a comment about making posts and then removing them. I personally feel you are taking away from this thread when you do that. From the view of those that have just discovered this thread, they will end up missing out and from the view of ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi Lusan I agree that we need to get the psychology right but it is that of a General and commander. I get the impression that when you say the scout is losing you are trading as a scout. As a general, I would not consider it losing but more as ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I haven't read it but from what I've heard the secret is in the numbers. Even Gann mentioned most people would need to read it twice to get it.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I doubt very much fti has any such interest (i.e coming out with a book). He is revealing some of his strategy through self-teaching excercises. He once mentioned he will not just reveal the system (or certain parts of it) in case someone decides to ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

OK, thanks NP. I bought the book a little over a year ago and have just put it to the side so this will serve as motivation to finally read it. I read a few things about Gann and one being he never really revealed his secrets so I was a little ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Wow, so fti announces his departure for a month and then he is more active than ever! Can someone please confirm the book he posted is "Tunnel Through The Air or Looking Back From 1940"?

He was good and won the show, here is the runner up. video

David I'll probably be taking a back seat until fti returns. In the mean time I'll be re-reading this thread and other trading material that fti has recommended. Take care...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Jairo Yes, I have no doubt whatsoever that markets are manipulated. However, could it be done to the extent of causing a depression? That's the conspiracy. Perhaps it was possible once upon a time but I'm not sure anymore.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

fti recommended it so I expect it to be good but I haven't had the chance to read it yet. I'll let you know. I've just caught up with the thread. One of the links fti posted was quite long. Not too sure about Fagan's conspiracy article. It is very ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Interesting read. Looks like the western order is trying to get China into its sphere of influence but I am doubtful China will fall for the trap? World power and influence is shifting east and I think it will serve China/India/Russia well to tread ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Yep, I've already printed and framed it. It's sitting inbetween my painting of Mona Lisa and the drawning of Vitruvian Man!
