    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    I have read (just first reading, I can already see it deserve further readings) about half of it and I find it interesting and informative. I deem myself very lucky in my path to trading as I stumbled on this thread as I opened my trading account about 3 years ago and immediately decided to...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    well, I am not sure about what blowing nails means, but anything "hanging" by the wall usually presents good opportunities, though it often depends on how high and how long the icicles are on the wall...

    well, USD.CHF tends to move opposite to EUR.USD as EUR and CHF are kind of linked and the rate between the two (EUR.CHF) moves very little (it is range bound most of the time). The latter is a safe pair as wherever you enter a trade (with a little bit of salt, of course) chances are it will come...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Notice that I am very much of a discretionary trader as that was the only way I could go (no discipline to follow a long list of hard set rules), I have very few rules but the most of it is being in sync with what I am trading, take profit often and get out when I have strong signs that a trade...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Absolutely! I trade them quite differently and I guess I am just more in sync with Forex. I trade USD.CHF (as I was living in Switzerland it was the obvious choice for a green trader), EUR.USD and a bit of EUR.CHF. In a way looking at the three pairs together gives me a better feeling about...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    One Stock and a few currency pairs (I started with stocks and did few Forex trades on the side, than I realized that I had way more success with Forex and started to move away from Stocks, I still trade one stock just to keep in touch with the market...) of course I look at (mostly) different...

    I am looking for full time traders in Milan

    Hi I am a full time trader, I have recently moved to Milan after several years abroad. I am trading full time from home and while I am consistently profitable I am often bored by the lack of interaction with other people/traders. I would like to find traders residing in Milan that feels the...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    wtfauoa you speak truth, there is no shortcut, no secret ingredient in making money consistently. You need to lose some money to not want to lose them ever again and you need to figure out your own way to trade, there is no method that will work for everybody, I for one think that most traders...

    nope, just what I said: looking at charts differently from the herd, if you do so you will see things that will blow your mind.

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    By the way, trading the first 30 min is a risky business if you don't know what you are doing. If you do actually know, it may be a very good time to enter on an important low/high of the day (not necessarily the LL or HH but still a very tradeable one). Still, as I rather play on the side of...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    because it is a false syllogism, to be true the first sentence should be reversed: anything that need water is a living thing. However this is a typical case of tricky as the two lines in the following example as they may seem different in length but they are not. This happens all the time on...
