Yep, I'm confident there were idiots in the 16th century too. The world is overflowing with idiots.

Hedging vs Stop Loss

The concept of a spherical Earth dates back to around the 6th century BC,[1] but remained a matter of philosophical speculation until the 3rd century BC, when Hellenistic astronomy established the spherical shape of the earth as a physical given. ...

Hedging vs Stop Loss

Again, another clueless statement. Do you know what date it was proposed that the earth was not flat? Do you have any idea? Because it's very old, and dates way before the 16th century. As I said in my previous post wake up!

Hedging vs Stop Loss

The worst thing is that you're not honest with yourself. You did say that price would return to par with certainty. Then added on 70%. Well certainty is 100%. So which is it? Certainty or 70%. Make up your mind. Don't use words you don't understand. ...

Hedging vs Stop Loss

It wasn't true that the earth was flat...ever. But yes, it's a decent analogy of those who believe in hedging. You can argue that truth is subjective if you want, or you can learn something. I do have some sympathy towards the personal truth idea, ...

Hedging vs Stop Loss

No, I wasn't first to be impolite. This is explained in my previous post. EURUSD was not traded 20 years ago. You can accept this or not. I have tried to help you, you throw it back in my face. So wrong there. You suggest that a currency will always ...

Hedging vs Stop Loss

Do you think things are bull just because you don't understand them? As I stated, it depends on what you call a pattern. If you're referring to trade the pin bar above the moving average when stochastics has crossed (and all that nonsense) then no, ...

Do you believe this market is random?

1. The informational advantage is there, but it isn't as significant as you think. And there are disadvantages for lots of professional traders too. 2. If you risk a fixed % of your account on each trade, theoretically your account will never reach ...

Real Reasons why Retail Traders lose money

It wasn't that good. Maybe you could include a pic of Mila Kunis next time to make the post even better

Do you believe this market is random?

I try to be polite to everyone who is polite to me. Though I may be rude to someone who has been rude to me. Someone who wants to argue against facts even after those facts are pointed out, is rude. Someone who wants to post nonsense they don't ...

Hedging vs Stop Loss

lol, a good post.

Do you believe this market is random?

Why do you make those conclusions. For example, I can flip a coin and plot a random walk from it, and there may indeed be a large upward trend on the plot.

Do you believe this market is random?

Clueless, muddled thinking and unable to admit that you're wrong. You are failing as a trader. You'll deny it, because your ego won't let you admit it. But we both know you are failing.

Hedging vs Stop Loss

That's how you address someone who has tried to help you see some truth. You're not open minded at all. Long EURUSD at 1.36, short EURUSD at 1.3599 (have to pay the spread). EURUSD moves up to 1.37. Profit for account -1 pip - commissions Flat ...

Hedging vs Stop Loss

You seem to be trying to argue rather than learn. A treaty is just a treaty. So hopefully, rather than argue when you're wrong, you'll admit you are wrong (see how your own bad habits spill over into your trading as you don't wish to close losers ...

Hedging vs Stop Loss

I don't know how new you are to trading, but again this is poor thinking. Firstly, you are quoting stats that have no basis. Second, I coudl have a system that wins 95% of the time and I could still lose my entire account. Because what happens in ...

Hedging vs Stop Loss

If you want to be able to think outside the box, first you want to be able to think, and think clearly. You say you know that a currency will return to 'par'. No you don't. This is an incorrect assumption. You talk about EU going where it was 20 ...

Hedging vs Stop Loss

Depends what you mean by pattern. There are underlying patterns which occur again and again and which lead to greater than 50% probability of a win, but they're not patterns like a pinbar or a doji (liek you say, these are a bit like 50-50 in the ...

Do you believe this market is random?

Nope. It's the same you're flat. You don't understand it, so why post about it as if you do? I've already pointed out quite clearly that hedging like that is the same or worse than not hedging. There is never a benefit, and yet you want to go and ...

Hedging vs Stop Loss

Very sensible post.
