    it was session in asia, where AUD reside & during active hours. Had to run AUDUSD for 120 pips to get me out in AU session. As AU economy not that small, I doubt, no one would figure it out and load. Price was at these levels for 15 mins. There is 100,000 futures contracts traded per day in...

    EURAUD - stopped out

    I was angry when starting this. Of course they (MM) hunt stops. And this is build in my system. I had smaller stop than usual because round number 1.45. It was discretionary decision, not supported by stat and my system. If I followed my system stop would not get hit. Or MM would have to run...

    EURAUD - stopped out

    it is not broker the issue. this swing can be seen everywhere. What is surprising that as they moved price from 14380 to 14600, that there was no one to take advantage of that move. So in other words, there is NO LIQUIDITY. Asian session argument is crap and does not stand my statistics. What...

    the market is totally being controlled!

    it is just a part of cycle. vol will come back as always. first thing this market has to do is arouse masses with the ascent so they take plunge in markets yet again. uptrend is safe until masses join. that is not the case at present. long term swing is the best tool in this scenario...

    George Soros on Trading

    he has distinctive edge and can recognize that he is wrong sooner rather than later - so one can assume no adding for these positions. wonder whether he is as sharp as he used to be? His pain based approach requires lots of energy.

    A modest proposition: Let's sell 100 cars at the market!

    you believe that volatility increased for good. what makes you think that ? asking because my models are predicting low volatility for a while longer. also frustrated because my swing trading gets no signals for 1 year now :(

    Is day trading worth it?

    I guess if you are full time and have nothing else to do with time, then I see your point. I found that pay per hour gets too low when ranges shrink, and there are better things one can do with time to optimise earnings. For example analyse your trades (thks Mav !). It is amazing how...

    Is day trading worth it?

    why not having simple dumb filter for daytrading: IF 10 day ATR < 100 ticks no day trade IF 10 day ATR >= 100 full on. that is what I have.
