I agree with the S/R statement. I mean, really, WHO is doing all that supporting and who is doing all that resisting. I never grapsed that idea.
Hi Pete, we are told(indoctrinated) by the gurus on FF that dumb retail traders are doing all that resisting with their 0.01lots. You're either slow or stubborn.

Pete, this is beginning to get addictive.
Scramble the password is the only solution. Franky!!!

So those stupid fake lines you all draw and call support/resistance mean absolutely nothing because the candles you see and connect also mean absolutely nothing.

A statement and begs the question I have long thought over, regards FX.

It seems that someone or something likes 'candle to candle' lines. I don't think of them ever as S/R S/D etc . To me they are just Targets.

The prob a lot of people have with the concept is they might think that a target is a final ending place. And therefore reverses.
May be true around 50% of the time, much the same as most indis etc get in their 'predictiveness'.

But if a target was a place that someone or something was "going to'. Well couldn't that mean something else other than what to do when it arrives ?

All a bit of fx-fun.

I'm guessing no one said that, you just wanted to have a shot at S/R?

I've taken the view (rightly or wrongly) that the S/R we see all over the charts is evidence of price manipulation.

Here is an example, of 200 pip target.

Just how frequently and dependently, the price reaches the next 200 pips target?
Timing to the next 200 pips, seems to be working like a Swiss clock, although trades are not time-based opened...
It is weird how every next 200 pips target opens up similar number of trades and lots, is not it?

EDIT : you beat me to it BW lol, cheers
(double edit to your edit BW lol - it wasn't me who timely pm'd)


There is no right or wrong aud, we are all on our own working fx out pal.

Why I do not support the concept of Support & Resistance as such, is, with hours and hours of thinking, I couldn't satisfy myself just who was doing the supporting and who was doing the resisting. And when trading it served me no advantage (personally, I mean) to wonder who might be supporting price here, or resisting price there. Then they 'taught' me that support can flip to resistance etc. And I said "enough" lol. Targets, the 'a going somewhere' for price, worked better in my old (horseracing) brain.

Each to their own in how they see it of course.


(AUDUSD update from the chart above, a new target reached, the 1hr candle from 13:00 chart time on 10 Mar 21 - why was that a target, more targets to come further ?)


imho Manipulation has too much of a negative connotation to it.

Orchestration suits me better (and best we not discuss the conductor of the orchestra ).

PLUS

I don';t actually think FX could operate functionally without it.

Hi asalami,

It's a new, day one, thread.

What would you like to have read about, when you came in to view.

I guess I'm asking, what were your original expectations ?

Hahaaa, excellent reply, good humour.



Well profit, it's a wish for us all, yes.


Andy/Moody called his thread Flying Dutchman.


I did a quick google and wiki came up with what is obviously Andy's dark humourous side.


Flying Dutchman
The Flying Dutchman is a legendary ghost ship which was said to never be able to make port, doomed to sail the oceans forever.
(The myth is likely to have originated from the 17th-century Golden Age of the Dutch East India Company)


Good fortunes to you asalami23

Well just above your post the thread went quickly from S/R to manipulation to orchestrated. One might ponder as to whether they are all the same thing?
Either way it's not random.

It is also unclear to me where this thread is going, but when I see that:

- Mr. 10000USD/pip (you know, the guy who rocks) is around and

- MoneyZilla is around and

- Aussi is lurking and trolling Andy AAAANNNNDDDDD

- BW is here as well

I am sure it will be at least very entertaining We have all ingredients...

So I am looking forward to see how it develops.

Cheers everyone,

Hi aud,

In a sense yes, in a sense not so, maybe its just semantics, or not
(but yes imo to your last sentence re random).


With Support & Resistance there is always the underlying expectation that something will happen at that SR line.

For me, with targets, its more about price getting to that line, rather than what might happen when price gets there.



Price changes.

And traders, I guess are focused on price and its movements, with their own expectation.


We are back to I guess,

does price encourage liquidity, or does liquidity chase price?

WHO is doing all that supporting and who is doing all that resisting?

Its trapped bankers avoiding large draw downs by adding to their position at key levels, to encourage smaller traders to support their position.

Therefore its not market manipulation but banker "fuck up".

I can see 1 large transactions on EURUSD 3 hours ago at 1.1919 which was a large Buy order from a big player - they got smashed.
The manipulation is an attempt by them to save their skin by stopping price before the breakout boys enter pass a support level -

BUT TOO LATE THEY GOT CRUSHED BY A STAMPEDE
And you think retail traders worry about losing a few dollars - Bankers aren't that lucky.
