Regarding all the new proposed regulation - Nothing is black or white. The regulation undoubtedly protects the common investor/trader from himself, and lets face it, its a certainty that on average the little guy loses his arse in the markets. But ...

New Leverage rule for FX COMING?

For a long trade one would enter when the price is in the bottom half of its 'noise range', I think what you would be counting on is called mean reversion. Still, you would need to, by some method, be able to count on price moving to wards a point X ...

Discussing trading with non-traders

Whats wrong with calling yourself a self-employed currency trader? If they want to know more, then you tell them. I do agree that it would be great to socialise in-person with people of similar interest and thinking though.

Discussing trading with non-traders

Chances are that you are not successful. For you, trading for a living may never be anything more than a dream, so their scepticism is warranted. If you were profitable and making a very good living, then I’m sure their responses would be a whole ...

Just making general conversation.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

How often does FTI do this intense all-day-trading? What kind of percentage risk does he work with when fully exposed? Regards, Leon

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Auxesis + FTI It's all love really, I don't think your too stubborn, just a healthy amount. Have a fun trading day. Regards, Leon

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I understand, but my learning process is kind of different. I need to have all of the jigsaw before I can start putting the pieces together properly, that way I can prioritise and skate over the parts that I have no problem with/spend more time ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Good morning FTI, Wondering, what information do you take in to account when making your trades? PA, fundamentals, news, and anything else? I've read you look at other markets as well, the DOW and such? Cheers, Leon

Cheers Aed, it's in the post! Regards, Leon

A book about Brokers/MM's...

A book about Brokers/MM's...

Happy new year mate, hope it's a good one for us! Thanks for the recommendation, the book is on its way. Regarding the Pm I sent you the other day, thanks for the reply. I received similar ones back and it was nice TBH, feeling low on moral because ...

A book about Brokers/MM's...

I would use this thread so I wouldn't clutter up the other, but then is there any chance of FTI responding? Hell, I suppose he doesn't have to respond in the main thread anyway. Just, I would prefer to hear the thoughts of someone proficient in the ...

TAF Based Trade Discussions

Well, I was trying to prompt an explanation of why those trades were made. By popular trading standards were in a hindsight downtrend. Just trying to learn a little. Leon

Technical Analysis Fallacy

How is it possible to do that solely looking at a chart? Looking forward to the exit. Leon

Technical Analysis Fallacy

So, Initial entries are made on pullbacks with the 'trend', you then add to the possition if price continues in your direction. How does profit taking work? Just wait for a change in trend?

Technical Analysis Fallacy

And that, my friend, is exactly the point I was making. Maybe it's time to move on from that thread. I could be wrong, but FTI's trading methods in a nut-shell are: Trade the trend - Go with the flow Exit when your in the wrong flow Add to winning ...

Make or Break Year for Petra!
