@ZenNy -- excellent, once again you are closing the gap. You definitely put more thought into your posts than @JayBag -- and the judges certainly appreciate that. Current score: @JayBag: 6 @ZenNy : 5

Sort of a lame post -- we'll have to check with the judges whether to count it. We'll give it to you this time, unless @ZenNy objects... I now have the score: @JayBag: 6 @ZenNy : 4

@JayBag, @ZenNy -- you dudes just don't get it, do you? Oh, well -- no one claimed there were an abundance of geniuses here at FF, did they? Just for fun -- let's start a count. I want to see how many times you fellas will continue to ask for a TE, ...

@STrading -- and your point? Are you asking for help to interpret @Nih98's table? Are you saying his interpretation is wrong and your's is right? Do you want to let us all know you are smart or smarter than Nih98? Are you using this as another ...

@jmn5611 -- thanks, friend -- much appreciated. We've all seen examples of graphic patterns built using fractals, but it's only been the past couple of weeks I'm beginning to see similar examples in price charts. You know -- there are traders who ...

@amundo -- I just now noticed your new thread -- nice. George has referred to the fractal nature of the market a number of times -- i.e. not only do patterns repeat, but the same patterns are used to make larger patterns. I think the chart you ...

@tranqility -- excellent -- thank you very much...

@tranqility -- thank you for pointing out the FastlineTMA. I found a version of the indicator -- probably not the same as yours (since no alerts) -- and while experimenting found it most useful. Thank you...

@XorcisM- -- you attached charts from different currency pairs -- GBPUSD (MT4) and GBPJPY (MT5). How can you compare the two?

No -- you do not trade the spikes. You trade the aftermath. But, more importantly, the thread is about attempting to understand the psychology of the MM and why spikes and their patterns occur. It's okay if things are a bit confusing and not all ...

@MhMd3eZZ -- I don't think you are asking the right question. After a spike upward, the price will decline as the MM sells. So, I also sell. After a spike downward, the price will go up as the MM buys. So, I also buy. I don't know when a spike will ...

@skyway -- if you spend some time looking at price charts then you should be able to answer your questions about large price moves. I think I understand what you are asking about drawdown -- is it worth risking a large StopLoss to earn a few pips? ...

@Moody -- excellent answer -- a "keeper". Thank you.

@skyway -- no, I don't think that is his question. We know the direction. However, there are going to be some peaks and valleys along the way until that target is reached. I think his question is how do you survive the hazards (i.e. drawdowns) along ...

Hi George -- yes, I would certainly agree... By "different perspective" I meant different than what I have been using up until now. The past couple of weeks I view charts much differently than I had in the past. And I wouldn't hesitate to substitute ...

@TimeTells (Pete) -- yes, this does help a lot -- thank you!! George's methodology requires a different perspective and way of looking at charts. I've a ways to go, though it certainly is NOT a struggle. George has provided enough insight for me to ...

A "psychology" question(s)... For sure the rises (and falls) are dramatic and quick -- sometimes a single bar, sometimes 2 or 3 bars. What is the MM thinking? In the case of a multi-bar waterfall, does the MM break the fall into multiple steps ...

@moodybot -- okay, I get the accuracy part. However, in the example posted by @MhMd3eZZ I'm not sure that would help. In the case of "waterfalls" or "waterjumps", when you look left there are no TOPS or BOTTOMS (or the closest ones may be far, far ...

@moodybot -- okay, I will continue as before AND add another tool to the toolbox -- M1. Thanks...
