Happy to say that I kept all my open positions in the basket running in this my first week and now I'm in real danger of making a small profit! The worst unrealised loss I saw on Tuesday was about -0.9% (aiming to get out at -1% during the trial ...

[quote=axecap;12626633] Its absolutely true that the vast majority of economists see Brexit as economically damaging for the UK. But not so damaging that they can convince politicians that it would be economic suicide for the UK. Probably because ...

Following Chinese media is of doubtful value as it is entirely state-regulated and censored. So is social media access and usage by Chinese people. My news is mostly from the BBC (I am in the UK) and I don't follow any US news sources. I've never ...

The fact that we had a referendum on EU membership tells us straight away it was a political issue not an economic one. I think we were always in a crisis situation since we joined the EU project. We were doing well financially from membership but ...
Johnson v Corbyn: The ITV Debate
- tomorton commented Nov 20, 2019
Its a slightly misleading chart as it only shows the mid 12% of the total range, 0-100%. Viewing the mid-range of the chart suggests a massive divide between the two opinions. Viewing the whole range shows the two opinions as very close. In fact ...

Can't answer your question about going hysterical. Nobody can plan to go hysterical, as if you did go hysterical as part of a plan, it wouldn't really be hysteria would it? China will probably become more powerful than the US. I suspect mostly ...

I don't believe the US has much interest in the welfare of HK citizens, but a more powerful US and a less powerful China (and a weaker Russia) is something I would look forward to.

I can only go along with the negative reports above re this week's trades. My first time toes dipped in the water and so far its not looking too good. A couple of fine detail questions. Suppose I put in 10 pending orders based on the Monday NY ...

An issue which might eventually become a problem for me - I'm trialling a system very parallel to this basket principle starting tonight. Right now I see 22 of a possible 28 pairs for which I can set entry orders. I am using minimal position sizes ...

Very interesting stats, thanks. I have seen sentiment stats before - these simply show a negative correlation with the 50EMA, representing the intermediate-term range - if the 50EMA is sloping downwards, most traders open positions will be long. As ...
Forexfactory GBPJPY stats - How it can be?

Correct, though this is not possible for most traders. But I think they mostly define low as a price at the bottom of the chart which is lower than it was and high as a price at the top of the chart which is higher than it was. And the results are ...

Sounds like its a bit too complicated if you're going to have to spreadsheet it. Look at it from the other end - What do you want out of your journal? - A super-accurate forensic record or an answer to trading problems that stop you making money? In ...

I've made money using various different approaches to trading, but the one that remains consistent and has an acceptable risk with low probability of wipe-out is long-term trend-following. The system currently in use is simple - for an uptrend I ...

I am in the UK and we have the widest choice of trading routes available. Options are a complicated and therefore more expensive and error-prone route for market access. CFD's are simpler and cheaper. Spreadbetting is simpler still and has no tax ...
