Correct, however when CBs intervene, it's usually against the prevailing trend isn't it ? Bottom line you are right about dancing with the flow. I only wished I could statistically qualify these type of plays in terms of long term profitability, the ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

The question that disturbs me is that, I profited from the move, but I don't know it's CB intervention. Does it matter that I know if CB is involved ? Will knowing CB interventions or lack of knowledge affect my future performance ?

Technical Analysis Fallacy

very good find, Baifu, we should do that more often, taking out pass lessons and study them again. In all that was being discussed, that statement I highlighted above is the most ignored yet in my opinion the most important. This subject is very ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

LOL why is it when every time someone comes in and try to say something good, always says it in an apologetic tone. MaMood, I don't think you are off by any measure. What you have seen in the recent development in this thread is the other extreme of ...

SALUTE !

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Baifu, you don't have to worry about extended battles and if your read of the market is correct. You looked like you replaced constant analysis with purely skew trading.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Talking about grinding the market.....

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Aux, you memorized the whole thread ? haha. The key is in there, the structure. But like you said, when the structure is being discussed elsewhere, another fallacy developed much like the TA fallacy, but now on order flow. I para phrase fti on the ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Euro zone closing hours ? Since most MMs prefer to end their day flat thus liquidation of positions or any kind of portfolio risk adjustments should occur around those hours. Based on the time of the posting. Just my guess.

This where another resource is largely limited for a retail lone ranger trader. In fti's office, they do hot potato trading.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Baifu, very nice work, very tiring also, no ? Like you said, what if it doesn't come back ? That story need to have an ending nonetheless.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Jest generously shared his analysis and I could resonate with his conclusion. I believe the word you are looking for is "anti hedge". Jacko wacko fans like to use this term, however misleading imo.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

what kind of returns % wise do you get using ur type of skew ? And draw down also. If you dont mind sharing

Technical Analysis Fallacy

bro what the above mean huh ? Some thoughts about TAF though, TA fallacy, fti nvr mention anything about not using TA, in fact he put forth some useful ways to use them. Here and there you can see him referring to chart patterns etc. But most ...
