LoL... Wow your a retard. If a strategy won't make money with a $1,000 account it won't make money with a $1,000,000 account...

Thanks man! That looks like a solid calendar... Btw, anyone notice how bad Forex Factory servers suck?

Usually forex factory has all the dates and times correct... With a german CPI thing sitting there saying "all day" it felt like there was going to be a random unexpected black swan at some point. LoL!

Forex factory just says "All Day" Others say 10:29 I think, but not sure what time zone... Sigh... Ill just assume it's either around a 30m or 1h location and avoid entering trades during those times for the first couple hours of EU session.

Oh god Friday... That was a real humdinger... Caught the runup then got ripped apart a little by the snapback. Ended the day heavily positive though. I have no idea... I have NEVER seen anything like that that I can remember... Massive 80 pip moves with ZERO news catalysts... I just...

Fundementals can be useful for measuring the degree of speculative bubble the instrument is in. Generally things are always in speculative bubbles to a certain degree but they always snap back to fundamental median... This can be measured with just technical analysis just fine though because...

Detecting Momentumn vs Trend... First is a momentum situation, and second is trend... Momentum cycles also have a MUCH higher candle range than trending markets. Momentum moves generally start downward from positive price strength or start upward from negative price strength. This is...

Trend > Price is moving fast enough to strip out cycles. Momentum > Price is oscillating with a high waveform. Can easily be detected with EMA acceleration readings. Range/Cyclic > Price momentumn is below 5 pips/hour and each cycle retraces at least 50% over the other.

The funniest thing is I detest trend trading so much I usually just wait for the market to start to range and cycle before trading. Momentum and parabolic moves I am generally fine with. What can I say... I am a median return trader. I am not comfortable with trending prices! Haha...

Know what the trickiest thing about technical indicators is? Most of them only work in specific market conditions, and market conditions are always changing. Also, the market is never fully in a single state. It tends to have a single dominant state though at any point in time. The trading...

Market trend strength is at 30 points per 10 weeks and 60 points per 10 months. It's still the kind of trade you want to try to time perfectly because that is how fast the higher highs are moving upward in this market. 60 points per 10 months or 6 points per month is the price strength...

The fed has no direct influence on the markets. They just trigger the initial start of the speculative bubbles and then they run on their own until they lose momentum with no outside input.

Just a couple months off now... Maybe only one month! When you see the daily chart start getting volatile were getting ready to break! Were almost to two deviations on the monthly. If you get those price levels around two deviations there is no way you can lose establishing a half a year...

I am not sure anyone trades the S&P or equities anymore... I am hanging out on the EUR/USD table. Quite a lot of fun to scalp at 50-1 with at minimum at least one 60-80 pip trend through the night... Last night was little dizzying but good trading. People are all either trading Forex...

50-1 works for the EUR/USD... But it's only half the leverage of daytrade margin futures. If your strategy involves scalping a couple ticks or a few pips at a time you need serious leverage.

I think what the oracle is trying to say is... Trade yourself not the S&P 500... LoL... :D

Ben Bernanke is insuring there is no Romney win by helping the economy and stock market right before the election.

The jobs report... ADP and the Government reports were mostly unimportant and a non event that didn't effect the market. The real news was pre market Thursday when the ECB agreed upon unlimited sterilized 1-3 year bond purchases of Italy/Spain debt. All that you saw intraday...

"Pair", "Currency Pair"?

ECB Unlimited Sterilized Bond Purchases agreed upon before market open. What is there to be surprised about?
