For those of you that don't know about the Khan-academy website, you will seriously fall in love with the guy and all that he stands for if you visit. This American gentleman teaches via a virtual white board on scores of topics (I think I remember ...

Honestly, all this is very off-topic here guys. I know, I started it, but I tried to pull back with my second long post. Davidee is asking for commentary on his article.

What is your edge?

I think the link between "giving people what they want" and "finding an edge" isn't direct. The foreign exchange markets exist so that capital can enter / leave countries freely... understanding when and why this happens can be part of your edge. ...

What is your edge?

They provide extra jobs throughout the whole economy. Extra size clothes stores, drugs for obesity related diseases, workout videos, gym memberships, hospital bills, funerals, the list is endless. They also receive kickbacks from states for stopping ...

What is your edge?

McDonald's is a brand that's known worldwide and they make produce in such volume that they can sell very cheaply. Local fast food vender's can't compete. I'm not in your head Scotty mate, you're going to have to tell me what you're thinking. EDIT: ...

What is your edge?

Davidee, Having read three of your articles, including the one you linked to in your opening post, I have to applaud you on your obvious dedication to what you're doing. Having said that, I have a few issues with some of what you write. I'll quickly ...

What is your edge?

Me rambling on having an edge and competition — An edge is any thing which puts you ahead of others. You could have an information edge, speed edge or an edge because you trade in large volume. There are other kinds of edges too. I disagree ...

What is your edge?

Regarding the thread topic: My aim is to scare all the other prospective traders off by overwhelming them so that I can have all the money for my self! Damn, the financial world must have got to me.

I'm not too gifted in the muscle department and am not fond of anything where I have to exert my self too much either. I've ran, rowed, lifted free weights and used machines, done situps... but It's all just so boring guys, seriously. The boredom ...

What's your way to keep fit, strong and healthy?

Doesn't divergence only exist because 'indicators' lag? Depending on the number of bars and/or smoothing used to make the average, different data will be used to make the average, and when a sudden change in price happens the 'indicator' will take a ...

Divergence? What is really happening with buyers vs sellers?

It wont suit everyone. The idea is probably better suited to those who are young and with very unspectacular jobs that they don't mind letting go / losing. Regarding uneducated opinions: the idea would be to talk to the people before you decide to ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset - Part 2

Just to add a little more to my earlier post because I think I've understated the advantages... Every waking hour could be dedicated to the goal. You would have the opportunity to bounce ideas off people with a similar goal. Being in a new ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset - Part 2

Carrying on from Grks post, I can definitely agree with the amount of dedication he says is required to get to the point of trading successfully. Something that I have always considered to be a good idea is to build a group of like minded traders on ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset - Part 2

Trading isn't that simple. The price can decrease each time you place a long trade, which forces you to close, and this slowly whittle away your account balance. The market can do anything.

How dealers/market makers operate

I was just showing that the disagreement was down to semantics by giving a static example and showing how it could be thought about. I agree that if we animate the example - start talking about what happens on the way from 1.30 to 1.40 - then there ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

If I conclude that a change in conditions will result in the price increasing from 1.30 up to 1.40 - not exactly, but that is what I judge the importance of the change in conditions to warrant - then has the 'value' increased or have I decided there ...
