Thanx DeusOmega for the reminder. :-) And if you have the time please read the following posting of fti (#60) too. It does give some more insights of the mindset thingy (At least to me). CU, MaMood

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi, especially the "gut knows" is a very interesting statement. I think it is common sense, that our subconscious is recognizing a lot more informations than we are used to "process" with our conscious. And the information gathered and processed by ...

Hello and Good Morning Friends! Sorry to hear about your bad experience Fana. Glad that you have been able to reduce your loss by 10% then. Finally that you made your trades public, has initiated a great disccussion. It was very helpfull for me. So ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi and good morning Friends! From time to time I'm doing very critical analysis of my way of trading. Especially in the situations, when I have faced critical problems like major drawdowns, bad emotions like fear or several losing days in a row. The ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi and good morning Friends, I guess what we are doing here is something like this: Improvisations on FTI's great teachings. Some are very harmonic, some are more like free jazz, some made chnages in dynamic and paraphrasing some are just ...

Hi and good morning Friends! @Maheswara: I'm there now ;-) CU, MaMood

Hi Jest, glad to hear that you are doing well! The Boss is doing well too, I think. But he has still troubles with the retail Forex Bucket shops ( see some postings back) ..... Have to leave now and prepare family lunch as always around this time ...

Hi fti, a really great video.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi Auxesis, You are spot on, as always! Yeah, that's exactly my experience. Especially the last sentence is relevant to me. Not only the brokers can take advantage of the 95% losers ratio inside the sandbox ;-) CU, MaMood

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Of course not !

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi Auxesis, yeah I'm sure you are right: Brokers do track your positions if they will reach a predefined volume. And from my opinion you ar also right, that you have to take all these "tricks" into account when you are doing your trade statistics or ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Sorry, it's me again ;-) Found the following statement in DarkStars famous thread about MarketStructure. Nobody is going to make the argument that a broker is a trader’s best friend, but they still provide a valuable service and should be ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I think fti himself or someone else has explained to us, that a MarketMaker (or the corresponding piece of software) is allowed to quote any price he wants to you. It's the risk of the MM himself, because the market (big player) can hurt him very ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hi Zoran, ok I see. But let's think your suspect/idea a little further: If your broker is tracking the mouse moves and depending on its position, your broker is sending you a "special" data stream. That would mean, that the broker has to generate ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy
