Market Relativity

Your comments on my system please...

And that right there is pure gold.

I believe I found the Market's "Tell"

The market as a whole is composed of data, from which a lot of it is 'fragmented'. It boils down to knowing what data is relevant, what is fluff. Isolating the relevant data and splitting it into two groups: - Data that converges with expected ...

Do you believe this market is random?

I believe I found the Market's "Tell"

^^^ This answers it in the least amount of words. The 'core' being organizing/grouping the different forces. Track, Group, Trade. What im curious about is grouping those where huge influx of buys are dumped yet price 'resists' to move up (which says ...

Do you believe this market is random?

You are full of insight, but what i dont comprehend is 'how' you profiled price behaviour based on volume, when, in spot fx there is no 'true' volume (unless your using tick volume and strength/weakness between counterparty currencies).

Order flow trading thread

Out of curiosity, have you observed differences in price movement between thick and thin volume? Like you say, not all orders move the market, yet, thin markets even i can move them at certain points. So does your method adjust its expectations ...

Order flow trading thread

Saneblane said it best about redundant/non redundant data and i personally agree, since for me it comes down to what data is redundant and what is essential, which is a combination of price and volume and how one interprets it. Everything else seems ...

Illusion of Time(frames)

I agree totally. It reminds me of a conversation i had a long time with someone who helped me tremendously (you know who you are). We where discussing about advancements and how many tend to 'reinvent the wheel' as opposed to improving its ...

Illusion of Time(frames)

Wholesale/retail is relative to range, but i see where you are coming from and i totally agree in fading highs/lows (nothing wrong with that at all). But again, if the volume hitting the market is showing intentions of rallying then providing volume ...

Order flow trading thread

Absolutely nothing wrong with that and in fact it keeps you away from 'attempting' to predict. Its all about anticipating and then reacting to expected outcomes. In fact if your making decisions based on orders entering the market (as opposed to ...

Order flow trading thread

I havent got time to answer your whole post and i wont for arguments sake either. I dont know what you mean with this 'x? trader' but yes, it is all about volume, price, momentum, exhaustion, anticipation and reaction. I do have a book that may ...

Measuring the Markets – Ideas

What exactly are you filtering? How do you define an entry? Based on what? Trades that historically/visually look the same will NEVER achieve the exact outcomes because the 'current' influx of volume varies greatly. This is why s/r sometimes ...

Measuring the Markets – Ideas

Manipulation is required to fill such large orders (large orders being relative to actual volume per day in the given market). To fill such order would require making the market look weaker than it actually is in order to feed of the market orders. ...

Forex Trading Philosophy

The market is a game, nothing more nothing less. And its pure SIZE of money that moves the markets. If you can grasp and learn to see how these big players move the market and play with it to get their huge orders filled you would be able to ...

Too Many Lies In The Forex Trading World!

They trade the cause, not the effect.

The one reason that trumps all other reasons why traders lose

Broad portfolio of income producing assets - low risk. Beats bank interest, can cash out if needs be, but more importantly, it puts the 5mil to work. From there on it would be beating inflation and maintaining a decent income per month/quarter. ...

so you got rich, what now?

Me personally realized that it isnt about predicting per se, but about isolating what is known from what is unknown. There are many elements out of ones control, so what is the point of beating it over and over again expecting different outcomes? ...
