1. Lowest spreads ever. You can't have it both ways. On the BARX platform you now get a .7 spread on eurusd without RFQ on up to $200 mio . This has opened up all sorts of trading possibilities that never existed before that are competing away at traditional fx settups. 2) Market makers want...

The decriminalised pot laws apply only to ACT (Canberra), South Australia (Adelaide), Western Australia (Perth) and the Northern Territory (Darwin). Elsewhere it is a criminal offense although in most states they have a cautioning system to let off first offenders. All the other points I...

How about................. Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia: OUR NATIONS CAPITAL 1) Pot is decriminilised - Have up to an ounce in your possession and grow up to 5 plants and the absolute worst that can happen (if a policeman is having a really bad day) is you get a $100...

This present drop in the dollar is a rocket. As I said - I know a guy that successfully trades fx and uses the 8 hour time frame. In his monthly cycle he has approx 73 bars - almost identical to the number of 5 minute bars in a 390 minute session. Use the one hour as a proxy for volume (see...

The biggest mindf*** with trading long term time frames is that you want time to pass, it's as if you wish your life and your days would pass quicker. You enjoy the ride but at the end of the year you look at a daily chart and you can actually remember what you were doing with each bar that you...

JimmyJam, As a follow up point of discussion re: MA's on tick charts - if your nesting your charts in the 343/2401 fashion (7 square) isn't the 20 SMA on the 2401 vol. basically the same level as the 140 SMA on the 343 vol? If so then the faster time frame would signal the divergence (when...

Here is a monthly JPY chart over the decade - you can see that the dollar went up hard (from a low of 79.75 in 1995) and has been trading in a wedge ever since that fall in '98. Seems like 100 is a very strong support level that the MOF will pull out all the stops to prevent dollar yen from...

Nice story NTB, thanks for sharing. I don't have an intraday chart from that period but just to put things into perspective I have attached a weekly chart from that period just to show the sort of things that Dollar Yen is capable of doing. What I noticed was a H+S pattern at that time with the...

JimmyJam, I noticed that you use the 20 SMA for confirmation of divergence (as well as for dynamic support/resistance) on the 2401 tick or vol. chart you posted a couple of pages back. Just a small querie of mine but why not the 21 SMA (being a fib number - not that it matters much)...

Question on bar counts: Using 5 minute charts we get 78 bars per session (in a 390 min session). I would like to ask if this number of bars per session is significant and why it is so? I ask, because I am finding that in fx for example, when I set the tick parameters to a level so that in the...

'Ergo' is a greek word meaning "the work". More precisely it means the "play" or "drama" that is unfolding in a seemingly chaotic fashion. I say seemingly as there is the doership element that modern science has removed from the equation (and lately becoming re-accepted), in the form of the...

BB, Yes, fresh is best (variant of it also known as Brahmi). It expands awareness and insight is my experience. Makes the mind more flexible to a fluid situation. Works best if your doing yoga and meditation - the yogis in the past called it Soma - the vedic plant of the himalayas that gave...

volente 00, Nice call on the Ginko a few pages back, I fully agree with you on that and infact the supplement I take also has in it Gotu Kola, both of which are helping me in my trading. All the best.

I take it all back, everything the proffessor says is so right on the money, the mans a genius. Seriously. ET is mostly full of crap but at least you got this thread which justifies all the wasted time. ProfLogic, thanks once again for persevering and sharing your lifes work.

Cutten, Maybe change over to only trading fx. Perhaps your missing a challenge that pushes you to the limit (as fx does), and your creative adjustment to such a challenge is missing. Probably you know too much in the field your in now (=boredom), and you need to rediscover those early days when...

Good point Kiwi. I have attached a part of the original Commodities magazine October 1980 CCI article that talks about comparison studies of various cycle lengths on the CCI. I too agree that the CCI's ability to pick up divergence (and associated divergent type oscillator patterns) is...

Took the words out of my mouth.

KT, Care to expand on that a little?

Proffessor sounds interesting, care to elaborate? Until recently I payed less emphasis on what I now realise is an extremely important area of trading: the correct calibration of charts. The indicator I use (cci) is especially prone to having a correctly calibrated chart. Similarly...
