I did... the news came out as expected? Bernanke is speaking today as well, but I imagine thats sometime during the US day & its currently 5am in NY.

What just happened to the GDP???

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I try to use news as a gauge of what the world is doing as a whole to get a sense of longer term trends. I try not to use news as trading signals. If anything, I've noticed times when it appears news is "planted" to get some favourable moves for ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Possibly a stupid question, but I can't quite figure out the Greek debt question... what is it priced in? Euros? I suppose the other important question is who actually purchased it. From what I read in the news, Germany is the largest holder of ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Well there you go... didn't know that... things change... when I was getting into trading... I saw 100:1 as standard maybe it was 50:1 even then... in that case... I don't know what I was looking at.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

From what I've seen, all brokers offer 100:1 at least... some offer 400:1. Don't think I've seen any which don't offer 100:1 so I think this is the least important question in figuring out a good broker. As for suggestions... I honestly don't quite ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Yep, that post rang a lot of bells. Unfortunately, I've devised clever ways of pretending to be someone else in order not to face reality and give my ego a 'bit' of a hit. The trick for me is to find a balance when addressing my ego because as you ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

lol just when I thought I was finally on the right track. The reading surely will continue. Interesting how stubborn my mind is. Well I know there's progress, just not seeing the next step. Well more reading is in order, that's all I can think of... ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

My interpretation to USD/YEN at the moment is that we're looking at a downward move continuation, however on the 5 minute charts, it appears that we have reached accumulation levels but I think these are not strong enough for the current lows to ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Australia is mining based so it's riding an appreciating AUD due to exports to China. According to some analysts, Australia's economy has changed over the past couple of years and become predominantly a mining country with a high AUD corresponding ...

Glad to hear about fti, wishing him a speedy recovery.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Here's a question: What would be the technical indicator equivalent for a real battlefield? I'm thinking of two examples: 1.) number of casualties per platoon/company after 1 hour/1 day etc 2.) distance travelled by platoon a, b c or d.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Can't exactly say I'm cured but at least I think I'm a lot better than when I started. I think the first thing that makes you realise a small loss is better than a big one not in hind sight but right there and then when you still have that small ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Well you can see right through me then because my head is as you noticed... a mess . This however is merely a slowing agent in my learning and not a brick wall. And good luck with trading full time!

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I think most the responses that I'm getting all point to one thing. Pretty sure I know what I need to do now.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

The thing is, I understand AOW (or at least most of it and at least I think so or I'm pretty sure I do) and use and have used it in a lot areas of my life (I know how it feels to know that you're right or have the upper hand... maybe that's just ego ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Looks like i could have saved my trade after all. Decided to call it a day just when I should have been entering a rescue trade... and what an easy one that would have been... in hind sight of course. So much more to learn! I've been wondering of ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Looks like I missed a good point to enter a rescue trade. Mused over that point for too long so now I'm in a hope state which is not good... trying to get back into analysis and objectivity mode. P.S. When it comes to MM and MO, fti showed the ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Looks like I'm in rescue mode, saw the increased volatility but wasn't sure what it was telling me... looks like I know now P.S. I'm still totally confused by how you're meant to analyse different markets at the same time. Confuses the heck out ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Thank you UKmanthailan, I was trying to figure out what I was observing about the most recent posts in this thread and you opened my eyes completely. I've been skipping most of non fti's threads when I was reading this thread from the very start ...
