Hi BW, You (and Andy) have done an amazing job, imho, to take people here out of their comfort zone (myself included). The comfort zone is so named for a reason. And there is nothing wrong with people holding onto that, it seems natural. All that ...

Of course, if an algo had the capacity or code to drive traders into margin or S/L closure, then it might do that also

Cheers PipF, While I agree, I have heard people in FX say the market is out to get them. And they usually say this is via manipulation. But I don't think that is the contention here, with the single algo proposal. Just a way of running the markets ...

Hi swd, Wow what a morning here, with my cup of tea. I did not remember yesterday. But when I read your post now it jogged everything and I DO remember. We all had a great Skype chat which was what I enjoyed most about those times. Gotta be around ...

Hi Pipfarm, Cheers for your input. The Charles D reference has caught my interest. I'm having my morning cuppa here and thinking a bit laterally on things. When I was growing up as a kid, we never had debating teams in Oz at school. Yet they did in ...

Not holding back Andy, and I wouldn't expect anything different pal, standing right to your ground. Your view is as thought out as anything from the non-algo folk, so respect to you. It's a discussion. And it all is interesting to me.

Hi swd, Cheers for that. Not aware of it, (or constrained unknowingly by it.) That, would have to be a Big Hand above them, yes. I see price running around (random buying & selling ?) to a target above and below current price. Each day. While, all ...

Hi GEfx, If we (retail) are getting, on our MT4 screens the same pricing (~) as Tier are seeing also, then that helps me yes. I had a quick look at the Saxo site where they show current pricing. (they are also an LP through my Broker). And there's ...

Hahaaa, yes my apologies to the Thought Police. I was only joking, really. I will adhere to the conventional narratives, always.

Well I don;t know about that lol. I have a real conspiracy theory . I don't see much of those billions trillions hitting my mt4 screen at ANY time of the day I am trading. I think we are maybe in our own retail universe. But let's not drift ...

Hi BW, I have asked you recently to please explain to me what you see as traditional TA. I am happy if you do not see my trading as TA. (I have put many of my charts & trades up recently, more than I wish to lol, seeking to be only a lurker ...

Thank you, That is very good of you to say, sir. I enjoy the read myself, from all the answers and questions. We can thank Andy for opening the thread. With a special thanks to BWilliam for pursuing the main discussion point we now discuss.

Cheers swd, very much appreciated. As to the other question, which I know is the focus of this thread, I really do not know the answer. To me it does not matter. I don't need it answering to be able to make money. That, in essence, sums it up for me ...

Hi swd, I am working through the whole process of activity from your answer in my head as best I can. There is a gap in the process that I can't "fill" in my mind yet, but it would help me, so I hope you can expand for me a little. My question "But ...

Cheers swd, Thank you for your reply. I understand the meanings of all words. What I need now is to process it into workable context for me. (I am pure retail, it might take time before I have questions ). Thx again.

Cheers aud, yes I did And yes lol, back to where it all began (Dickey Betts ). BUT not always and I was tricked early on with this, when they DON”T return - as bad as a tma grind ffs so I always first look for ...

Real or Algo

Hi GEfx Yes, his story is one for the ages, remarkable. (Am I right to say that when he came 'down' to his own mt4 personal trading he said he noticed things weren't the same for retail traders as his trading Tier.) This is going on all over the ...

Cheers GEfx, Team Algo would answer in due course I imagine. From my perspective only. In light of all that Andy & BW present. Let me stretch on something further that was ‘mentioned to me in passing’ (yes, by G) about 2 years ago. It is still ...

Real or Algo

Hahaa, cheers Andy, you will cost me sleep (again), as my problem is I think about everything (too much) incl things like this algo stuff. (But only to a point). In relation to Forex, the algo proposition has been around for years. (We know there ...

All the best BW, and to all who have contributed. I ain't got more lol. .
