Hi fti, seems that is a problem of certain brokers only or maybe of your sizes... I have not had any problems to get very competitive fills even with 50 lots sizes. But I have to say; I have invested some time and money to optimize my hardware and ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi, to say it very clear: THERE IS NO BENEFIT IN TAKING LONG AND SHORT AT THE SAME TIME! What I do is: If you have 3 long positions open with together 20 lots. Then I sell 1 short position with 20 lots. So I can squarre my exposure in one step only. ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi RedLion, very easy to explain. fti's is not laughing about hedging in the most serious sense, but about having long and short positions in the same pair at the same time. Something that is considered as "non-sense" ;-) Cu, Niels

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi again, thanx for your very positive response so far. Just want to give two more inputs: 1. I'm not using hedging as "trading technique" for some time now. 2. About the possible "pressure" when I have to perform publically: That is just what I ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi friends, I want to ask you a question. I'm taking that one with me for a long time already. I'm very unsure about your reactions and comments. However - I decided to just ask you. I'm sure you will give me your honest opinion .... Would it be of ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Yeah you are right: a 100% loss is a 100% loss. And I agree, that pondering about possible risks has the biggest benefits before the event :-) The only think I'm not sure about is that 100% loss thingy mentioned above. If you are foccused and nimble ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi usw, long time no see. I'm not sure, if I get your problem right. But I want to clarify something. Here is a lot of talk about spikes. But what exactly do you mean with that? We are used to babysit our trades. It is an imminent part of this MO. ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi, hmmh - not sure how i put i best into words. What you'll find here is not that much a trading technique, but much more about your trading attitude and YOU. You can have a lot of valuable skills, in detail good MM, RiskManegement and chart ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Morning fti & Friends! Was pondering about life yesterday and one thing that I was able to spot very clearly: What fti has started here in TAF is the most unbelievable, unique and unselfish experiment I have ever seen. It could be life changing if ...

[quote=fti;4606891] I'm deeply impressed, fti. What a history! That explains your attitude, humility and balls of steel very well to me ... Respect, Sir!

Thx Fana, but I'm still not there. Much lessons ahead... Niels

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi want to welcome you as well! I think the main explanation is, that I have a very restricted trading time only. So I shifted the main Trading TimeFrame from M5 (like most are using here) to M1. So you see a lot more opportunities. But on the other ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Some days like this one are very nice: Made a killing (1.2%) on the spike down on "technical arbitrage" But have to squarre out now: Mindset is out off control .... There are days, when market gives you the unique chance to play out all the ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi again Friends! 20 minutes ago I was going to present you just another blotter under the Headline "Smooth Dance". I was playing EU short. Price was going through 4300 level. I scaled in some strong and swift rescues and ended up with good ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

As far as I know (but that might not the latest news), she is doing well. She joins the dancing floor whenever she finds some time to do so .... p.s.: But I know she is reading TAF regularly. So I expect she is going to answer your question herself ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi Jaro, when you feel tired and you are not in any positions atm: Go for sleep. Successful trading is also a question of managing your energies (wisely) ... BTW: Will answer your PM later. Have to make some pips first :-) CU, Niels

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Morning Vik! you are very welcome! Any cookies or a croissant? Or just pure naked coffee?

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Good morning fti! I still like to check my news channels, but must of the time from hindsight. I like to know, when I have to expect some vola becuase some news is scheduled. But I do not care about the numbers itself (anymore). Just following the ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Morning Friends! We have a very sunny morning here in Germany. Let's see, if we have another "greek trading day" :-) It's the right time for my frst fresh cup of coffee this morning. Does anyone else want a fresh coffee, no? Wish you all a great ...

Hi Fti & Friends, glad to see some nice conversation in here. Have finnished my trading for today. Made not the "monster performance". But it felt like a very smooth dance: Followed the flow from below 44 to the high and turned again to play the ...
