I thought the media coverage was universally idiotic. Smarmy cleverness on one side, anti-foreigner on the other. More importantly though, if some c*nt doesn't grant all europeans immediate staying rights within the next week, I'm going to stop ...

BREXIT RULES! The Consequences

I'm weaning myself off swearing. Down to three a day now.

BREXIT RULES! The Consequences

This whole campaign has been about as turgid as politics has ever got in this country. And seeing Farage yesterday issuing a masterclass in how not to negotiate with anyone, ever, was the most f8cking idiotic thing I've seen in years. The leave ...

BREXIT RULES! The Consequences

If you've not voted yet, vote on the basis of democracy, crony capitalism and power (on all three counts, I'm out). Immigration is a complete red herring in this debate. And incidentally I love the EU nations, I just think the governance and pace of ...

who's trading during the United Kingdom EU Referendum

Interesting. Given that I don't sell a thing to the retail world (never have, never will), you must know something I don't. Please share. And look, I wasn't trying to make you feel small but I've been doing this for around 10 years, several full ...

Forex as a Future?

Hud, I'll tell you a true story. A relative of mine was well into her 30s but hadn't ever left home. Her parents loved her and everything but they were getting exasperated, wanting a bit of space to themselves in their retirement. They had a word ...

Forex as a Future?

These outfits remind me of the massive chicken nugget that is Oliver Velez, a man who knows as much about trading as I do about turkey farming. url

Swissy, is that seriously the name of your final year dissertation? What degree are you studying, and where?

Lol, I admire your enthusiasm for it, and a short eurgbp soon is a fine trade full stop, irrespective of outcomes. But here's one last thing to chomp on, zoom the H1 chart for GU out so it's as tight as can be over the election period. If the 7th ...

Brexit, anyone?

I've seen 'no-brainer' situations like this come up a few times and they're often account ruiners. Eg, Iraq war 2003, presumption that oil price would skyrocket if it was invaded. It didn't - it tanked for 9 months or so before then rocketing up. So ...

Brexit, anyone?

Quite right. Den, you know the story yes? So way back in ancient Greece, people said Thales, philosophy is futile, why bother? He says what would you chumps know?, or similar in Greek. And they say well it's all a brain workout, it's not real. Money ...

A jump to the beginning - chaos and market forces

Less original, more forgotten. Thales did it 2500 years ago.

A jump to the beginning - chaos and market forces

Do trendline breaks really have any significance?

Not only does it mark you out to be a total c*nt to do that, also it instantly shows you're about as professional as a bag of potatoes.

They ask you: how to be a successful trader?

You are still trading direction; you're simply deferring your direction decision to a range breakout trade. If you're adamant not to trade direction, you need to investigate option straddles, and then you can trade pure volatility. Olsen - great ...

Using the currency pairs to predict the market

Hi Jason, yeah, keeps my stress levels down! Now I don't want to be a nitpicking SOB, because I wouldn't advocate negative RR.... But... ...correlation isn't causation. Just because winning traders have positive R:R doesn't mean simply turning your ...

FXCM stats worthwhile? AUD/NZD has the best win rate to trade?

Hell's teeth, FXCM don't half twist things around. Not sure if that guy is being deliberately misleading but his logic is full of holes; simply mucking around with R:R does not turn a rubbish strategy into a good one, or rather if it does, it won't ...
