You really did not read and process any of the replies. 1. There's what everyone wants to hear 2. There's what everyone wants to believe 3. There's everything else 4. Then there's the truth So you have an idea in you head that follows 1 & 2, and you're looking for validation, good luck with...

Try this, the architects set up a box, you want to look at the dashed line in the lower window of each timeframe, it's open until midnight tonight. Realtime GBPUSD: https://meetings.webex.com/collabs/#/meetings/detail?uuid=I4KQH5XTT5415A6IW543N666R9-38GX&rnd=241049.39692

Everyone wants to devalue their currency indirectly, the volatility will only increase as the countries and governments fight it out. The Brexit economic reports are positive so far, Europe is in a slow implosion, and the US still think they're going to increase rates while everyone else is...

The markets are fluid so No2 is more optimal but 10lots seems excessive given the scenario you provided, No2 with 5lot maximum seems the better option, when you are not sure always take the least aggressive. At 0.2% risk you need to have some serious capital to make a return, why so low, there...

There are very few, ie. handfuls, of transferable methodologies around, all others will have the individuals psychology built in to them. If you can find someone with a methodology and their psychology roughly matches it provides a good starting point to then adapt, but for everyone else as...

Given the millions of combinations a holy grail is the set of rules/indicators/management/tools that work for you, very few can find it and even when they do it's not transferable to a third party because it will have their psychology embedded in it. Now, given that there are a handful of...

10:1 I can do myself with the methodology on 240mn & 1day, but for 100:1 need a special team as have to work down to 10s & 1mn, even the institutions have virtually no clue how it works at 100:1. Once you have decoded the psychology, which has been done, then coding that in to the algorithms you...

Sometimes you just have to move on, and that time is now. As it turns out the consensus is 7-10yr exponential curve and ~2%/mth return. Now, as mentioned in a previous thread, there are ways to do it differently and have been looking at automating where it turns out have hit a wall of the...

Thanks for the replies, actually GAT already answered the question. But as we have a numpty in the house, because one of the top accountants via their firm was employed and the moron managed to lose my $3mn rental apartment which was my capital backstop, and as it turns out with all...

Were looking more at 10s, 30s, 1mn timeframes but it's close enough to HFT. Thank you for your honest answer. Have been finding that because volatility is low everything is highly correlated, so algorithms work to produce gains in the 2% region you mention, but you then need to trade multiple...

Designing algorithms working smarter not harder. Here's the thing, have always earned stupid amounts doing very little in consulting & finance, 2 hour lunches, rolling up when felt like it, 3mth holidays. So have been provided access to a discretionary methodology and with a few hours analysis...

Yellen on Capitol Hill was asked today how much it would cost to break up per bank using FSOC, she said she had no idea. Then she was told that her staff at the Fed calculated $60mn, and she said she had no idea how her staff came up with that number. It's also quite interesting to hear that an...

Doing the right thing is balancing what's good for you against what is the greater good. But, as other people balanced your life you will do the opposite and balance your own, for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. Because to bring it back to neutral you have to 'write off'...

Because 'doing the right thing' can be profitable but being profitable is not 'doing the right thing'!

If you have the confidence to trade 20% of your account, who says it can't work. Too many opinions, the markets don't care about those. The markets have 1,000,001 ways to work, one persons disaster is another persons bliss, by his own hand he chose the wrong road but that's life. If you can do...

Now, where has that been seen before, oh yes ...

It doesn't change one simple problem, the fastest super computers in the world can only process 0.00041% of what the human brain can do when dealing with context. Algorithms are much faster but can only process pre-configured context, ie. known events. The issue arises that the world is not...

Anyone opening the sentence with the term "FACT:" is an idiot, didn't bother reading the rest!

Blockchain, the banks are already on it but there is always one problem, they are fine when you are in the normal standard deviations, but when you get to 3/4 deviations the distributed systems implode. They work 95% to 99% of the time, even up to 99.9% and 99.99%, but when they go it's the same...

Seriously, doesn't everyone know that. Clarity is confidence, and without confidence you go nowhere fast as you cannot plan ahead, many studies have proven winners keep winning and losers keep losing. Which is why nost traders fail, the markets are forward looking and 99% of people work in...
