EUR/USD patterns

So my Great Escape from margin-call -dom lasted 48 hours, and then I was returned to the loony bin. ----- idea: 0 | = 1/(L M) -- worked with this recently, without success. The notion is that a circle is an infinite number of diameters, each a ...

Trying to understand lots and buying on margin

Interesting. I'm not sure how you use these terms, but one interpretation would be image It could be said to describe volatility. (One missing would be 'stall (or block or stop or slow or...), to go with 'thrust'). I took momentum to be a pattern ...

The Essence of Trading

Strategies that don't predict future price

These two sets of charts each have fairly well-balanced trendlines-vs.-candles interpretations. Here, I went straight for the big $, and it paid off -- if only to break what had made a lot more $ several times. image Here, a careful study of 0: ...
