You are talking about somebody else I only post in this thread. I never hedge, one instrument, one direction, cannot walk and chew gum at the same time

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Thanks jest. I was replying to your post while your were deleting it I was going to say you are not rude at all, I welcome all critique. And thanks for your thoughtful post on risk. I am risk adverse by temperament. The point of my experiment: 1) ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

High skew experiment — Yesterday was a tough day because my bias was short and from 7:00 when I started to 11:00 the lesser trend was long (I am 6 hours behind Singapore, 6 hours ahead NY). At the worst point I had 15% DD – not too worried ...

Forgot about Paint, thanks, works now Regards, Baifu

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to capture Oanda chart as attachment? Do I need a screen capture program? I tried to "print screen" and save as jpeg but failed. Was trying to attach today's chart showing trades. Regards, Baifu

Technical Analysis Fallacy

No problem, I always take note of your posts because I remember you wrote about position sizing and exposure, and that's emphasis at the moment. Screen time: 3-5 hours European morning and 3-5 hours European afternoon. I do not have the stamina to ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Right now I am deep in level 11, PnL is +ve, but DD is over 5% (lot of foreign capital), I have to work on risk - too much yo yo. Have to look after my troops, more later Regards, Baifu

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Jest, may be I misunderstood your post, ".........and concluded that it would require an account worth 50k to be handle a 5level skew with a total ruin of 2.2%" all depends on the size of your level 1 (troop size) relative to the 50K acct, no? For ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi Jest, Mind telling us what is the troop size in your calc? Or how many troops? Assuming your acct currency = base currency. okay, say 50K acct in Euro, what is the troop size in E/U in your model? Thanks, Baifu

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Well said - fti has given the basics, now it is up to us to work things out for ourselves, practice, practice and more practice. Personally I am not afraid of discussions or the blind leading the blind - there are many clever heads here I ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I have only been here since Nov 09 but I have read and re-read (almost ) the thread, Zoran's inquisitiveness and "courage" in challenging fti (in a rational and fair manner) have contributed a great deal to my understanding of TAF basics. Thank ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Thanks Textor. I enjoy Leighsww’s posts very much, too bad the TAF method does not suit her needs. I wasn’t thinking so much rescue (due to time constraint zoom out rescue is difficult for my MO) as how to position size while dancing so my avg price ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

For me the kind of discussions Zoran tries to bring forth is more true to the thread than speculations of where the market is goiing, S & R levels etc. But again, any kind of discussion is alright with me. Regards, Baifu

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Plain English? That would be boring For me spiral within spiral is entirely about MM. Spiral out such as Mahes example - when we rescue we reset our base (sum of all positions) to 1 and apply fib or phi (or any multipliers) to the next rescue ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

There is no Holy Grail, just ants work Or the HG is TAF basics, dance and MM. Not complaining, I enjoy everyone's contributions. Regards, Baifu

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Thanks for the reminder, quote: The Principle of Vibration embodies the idea that motion is manifest in everything in the Universe, that nothing rests, and everything moves, vibrates, and circles.[3] This principle explains that the differences ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Very true, if I remember correctly fti said Gann threw out red herrings as marketing ploy to promote himself as a forecaster. Regards, Baifu

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Interesting, I mean no disrespect to you or anyone else who enjoy the book, it just proves we are all so very different, and that makes the world more interesting. For me I cannot recall ever reading anything so ....... , and I only forced myself to ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I agree and I am all ears. May be later I will have something to say but right now I just want to say thank you for the clues posted a couple of days ago, and for the many posts you have made from the start of ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Thank you fti for the lessons and your patience. Your message is clear but we sometimes stubbornly refuse to understand because our minds have been so poisioned by false teachings. After 10 years of study your approach is the first and only one that ...
