I have been diagnosed with Dyslexia/poor working memory/low processing speed... so that probably goes a way to explaining my problems. I've just found some screen shots of IQ tests I have taken in the past at www.iqtest.dk and my average score is ...

Question: I've never had a proper IQ test, but I'm rubbish at chess... In your opinion does this mean I will have a Average/Low IQ?

(binned per thread starter's request) Behind Price-Orderflow

The "every human born with a max IQ" hypothesis is a reasonable one... but as far as I'm aware there is no research to back it up. Couldn't it just be that those who cannot perform better on an IQ test are, at the time of taking the test, restricted ...

Lol, you sound like a right wanker... but I don't actually mind reading what you write. Personally, I think 'IQ' is overvalued by many... If you gave an IQ test to a tribe living in the Amazon, they would probably score terribly... but do you expect ...

Thanks a lot for this, it's good to hear/see someone explain their trading as such a fluid thing; this aligns with the market perspective I've come to warm to, and the direction that my reading and planned college studies will be taking me. I'd ...

Perfect Head&Shoulder in Dow >> Massive Crash Again

How have you learned what weight to give to individual pieces of information? I can't comment on the quality of your analysis here, but it looks like the kind of deductions I would like to be able to make one day. What can I do other than listen to ...

Perfect Head&Shoulder in Dow >> Massive Crash Again

It could just be the steroids though... couldn't it? FxPetra and Darkstar: Great posts. Hopefully I'll be able structure arguments on those kind of issues one day. I just don't have a clue at the moment. Cheers

Perfect Head&Shoulder in Dow >> Massive Crash Again

What I'm saying is that my personal assumption is that 'fear' isn't what guides those with the big money to make their decisions. I'd venture to say that any money risked will be blessed by factual and relevant information, collected and interpreted ...

Perfect Head&Shoulder in Dow >> Massive Crash Again

Self fulfilling prophecy... but the Economy is external to you, and dependant on more people than just your self, so it probably wouldn't work out. EDIT: PS. So if a bunch of private investors thought the USA was going to come crashing down, but ...

Perfect Head&Shoulder in Dow >> Massive Crash Again

I think, to be (relatively) safe, one needs to have 24 hours free once a trade is made... even that might not be enough sometimes. I mean, what is the EU price now? My trade that I made at like 3-4am might still have been in play. EDIT: OK, the ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Short- EU- 1.1949- 1 lot Time to go college... closed both at 1.1956. 16pips + Spread lost. Annoyed I couldn't go through a trade properly.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

A push of a few pips lower and the 15m, 30m, 1h all look short. Only willing to add on a pull-back from the 1.1920 level or lower. This is because I am still close to my entry price and would have double my risk on the table; if price retraced back ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

If GU drops, it looks set for a reasonable one... I agree with Jest that EU looks borderline... but if one looks at UJ and GU they are looking long and short respectively, which supports a EU short trade. Just my take, and I'd be interested to hear ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I'll definitely have a look in to it... I've written 'Dow theory, Jest Thread, url on my to do list, so I wont forget. @lilpip - I wont be confident enough to add on any breaks to the downside, If I do want to add, I'll wait for a pullback after ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hey, that was years ago though! But yes, I remember now that you mentioned my participation there a few hours ago. Where am I?

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Good for us, at least we're not pigs .

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I've never even looked at Dow theory, I'll have to take a look. The definition of trend I'm currently using is the easiest to see, I'm looking at the last swing on every time frame, If the last move made was a high, then the trend is an uptrend. ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

A break of 1.1930 will leave all TFs (1m - 1d) as constituting down trends technically.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Short- EU- 1.1946- 1 lot EDIT: What would we consider a break of the daily trend? 600pips north? On the 4h and 1h a break of about 1.1980 could be considered the beginning of an uptrend.
