    The most efficient method of trading

    Sprout if you've not already pondered them... Splendor Solis and Mutus Liber should be right up your street

    Are you good at price action and technical analysis?

    Hells bells L&S you're making heavy weather of this... do you really want to test this properly? Seems like a foregone conclusion for you right? But ok, a fair test. Not all TA traders do it by simply gawping at a single screenshot, so the only way I can think of is to rally up the whole of ET...

    Success of Japanese Candlestick Patterns?

    Nothing at the core has changed; Big bang (the 80s not the actual big bang), HFT, tighter spreads have all made difference around the edges but the structure remains the same, and all of us sync to the same clock. Unless you're in India, Sri Lanka or parts of Oz, it's still 48 minutes past the...

    Success of Japanese Candlestick Patterns?

    I’d like to say it was a quant job at Jane Street but alas no— junior sales role, fmcg. I think the govt told him to go to interviews else they’d stop his benefits so he was doing his level best to not get a job. In that sense the guy was a high achiever— he got booted out in 2 minutes.

    Success of Japanese Candlestick Patterns?

    mate of mine interviewed someone for a job the other day. Guy walks in, no word of a lie, put his feet up on the desk and said 'tell me why I should work for you'. And sucked his teeth for good measure.

    Success of Japanese Candlestick Patterns?

    Sprouts link to FoG is a great start. There's more than this though, bits and pieces of other texts all published in Japanese but not English afaik, so get onto google.jp with autotranslate... like I say, you need to dig deep and read slow.

    Success of Japanese Candlestick Patterns?

    Candlesticks were never meant to be used as Nison presented them. Whether by design or not, he didn't translate any of the original texts. Just picked up the patterns and delivered them without any context. He added in some baloney about S/R later, congestion zones, the kind of woolly technical...

    Books or Study material for Fibonacci

    on the basis of if you do what everyone else is doing you get what everyone else is getting, I got just one recommendation. It's not a book about trading per se, but the Beginner's guide to constructing the universe. Think read and apply.

    What happened Hilmy? And what did you end up trading?

    If you had to start over...

    Can't speak for others but took me effing ages because of ego. My advice is to question everything, ask and learn till you get what you need, but until then, just because you know not to lob a 100:1 leveraged trade with a 1 pip stop doesn't mean you know jack shit in the scheme of things. I say...

    Fixing manipulation is still there ?

    Fixing manipulation is still there ?

    The day of fading violent moves 60 secs before the fix are long gone, but the london fix, cut and frankfurt open/london open are probably the remaining key times that everyone knows about where you'll see manipulation/extreme delta hedging/clearing of orders but now over a longer timeframe. How...

    Kant & Popper (Philosophy)

    He's never mentioned him by name, but I read an interview with Ray Dalio who uses the same process Popper recommends (deductive reasoning). Basically his team come up with investment ideas - the traditional scientific method if you will, observation > hypothesis > theory etc. Then he gets the...

    Money Management in Forex

    OK champs, Preetham, Andrew, Jimmy, Henry, which one of you is real? You've been posting inane cobblers since forever. Are you holed up in a factory farm somewhere being forced at gunpoint to post every few days? Who's your boss? Soros? Simons? Dalio? Own up

    Prove to me that Technical Analysis Works.

    slightly off topic but I'm new to this site (well new to to reading it). Why do FX posters (like pretty much the whole FX section) sound like they're automated bot replies full of generalised nonsense written by people with zero experience? Is it a way of boosting ad revenue? What's going on?

    Is A Bloomberg Terminal Worth It?

    Take a look at Refinitiv Eikon their main competitor. You can get Xenith (which is their retail version) for peanuts, and depending on what you're looking for, has a lot of the same functionality. Charting sucks balls; they've just had to buy in Trading View to upgrade theirs, there's no...

    Setting up a prop-trading firm vs. a hedge fund

    Cruise, would this not be circumventing the rules on required regs to attract investment? Unless you tied the loan to an absolute rate of return it would be classified as investing wouldn't it? I'm UK based so may well be different but interested if you know

    Money Management in Forex

    gosh I'm embarrassed Depthtrade I read your initial post as lots. Thus talking about how its legged in and how different banks do it, because I'm knee deep in it at the moment. Sorry man - absolutely 10 lots would be banged straight on.

    Money Management in Forex

    I could be your performing monkey! And a pissing match! Or maybe it’s time you rolled your sleeves up and study some fx time and sales and start piecing it together.
