What the brokers do (that are B-booking you) is just like real life, except they turn it on it's side and hope you don't notice lol. Getting up everyday, going to work, running a business or a farm or whatever you do has it's pitfalls just like ...

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

lol, this forum reminds me of the spoofing days.... one minute the post is there, the next minute the post is gone.... in fact a whole raft of them are gone, I give up.

Yeah, I think we are talking about the same sort of thing. You refer more to a "method" or implementation whereas I am referring more to a "concept", but we are in the same ball park for sure. I can't comment too much on what you are using as I ...

As a buddy of mine once said, "you can tell price wants to go to level xyz, it turns around and goes the opposite way..." That's price, just an advertising mechanism.... image

When you take out the technical stuff I mentioned, you will see the clear message underneath. It's left for the reader to see. However, we are at a crossroads for sure. A carefuly controlled algo can still be REAL, in the sense that someone designed ...

See my earlier post today. Markets are all smoke and mirrors but why persuade anyone to the contrary? swd

We know it wants 1.1935 minimum on EURUSD. But not without a bit of "randomness" first eh. All the best TT.

Here is a theoretical explanation for your "stuff" on the chart. Not all matching engines are created equally. When a market is declining fast, how is it that a seller can still sell, if "someone" or "something" is taking the opposite side of their ...

Yes, that's my understanding.

Couldbe that IC markets are taking flow from another broker where that problem is showing up or maybe in a pool of brokers they take and send flow to. I've only ever seen it on B-booking brokers tbh so it's puzzlng. I've see it alot when there are ...

Look up A book and B book H. That IC markets account is B book. They're trading against clients. Typically what happens to microlot traders and traders who they think are bad. Good ones and larger lot traders get A booked and copied.

Yeah thanks. It's all a bit of a laugh really, we can't know for sure whether there is an all powerful algo at work, we know algos go to work, but they are talking about something different here. Even given my little trick on the Aussies that got ...

haha well spotted. Someone is awake and reading. I imagine its deutsche mark although I'm not even sure it's that tbh. But the point is, using USDGBP for example would also suffice. Just trying a different approach to eliminate "algo" to see what is ...

Hi mate, I don't work for a bank or anyone anymore. I have no firm view one way or the other really, in as much as my financial success does not depend on the outcome of this convesation. Here is what I see... natural price discovery. Just as we see ...

Final thing I wanted to say, do not believe that banks and hedge funds alway win, they get caught by moves in the markets just as much as we do. They are just as fallible as you and I, except we can move a hell of alot quicker than they can. We can ...

No worries TT. Just a discussion. To me price appears random between extremes (or highs and lows) but then you have to consider the affect of dark pools shown on the chart that retail do not have access too. These private exchanges hide the big ...

It seems hard to accept that there is a single algo controlling what is by nature a decentralised forex market. Each major currency has it's own central bank setting out policy and forecasts for it's currency in the worlds markets. Whether central ...

Hi TT, Yes I was answering the first question you asked " WHY the prices are so consistent across the various broker mt4 platforms around the globe". The world is a very competitive place, and I mean in EVERYTHING. There is almost always more than 1 ...
