    Astrological Theory of Markets Cycles.

    Whilst I think most of the astro stuff is mumbo jumbo there is plenty of evidence that the moon does have an effect on humans and of course there's a huge amount of evidence that solar activity does. Where I think the astro boys shoot themselves in the foot is just taking the whole thing too...

    Daytrading Forex - News events and slippage

    Ah FECIMA, sounds like part of the anatomy we dont generally talk about. That or a sexually transmitted disease. I'm sure they're very good if you say so though. They should just change their name.

    Amount of money to move the market

    So, if there's such a huge disparity between certain times of the day I can only assume there are some who take advantage of the differing liquidity. Perhaps Zeljko Ranogajec and his team (who manipulate horse racing prices across the world very successfully) should start to get active in the...

    Pair Trading Strategy Journal

    Just to ram home my assertion about how bent Metatrader is, look here: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=70582 Its quite appalling and one reason why there needs to be much tighter control of fx trading.

    Forex Signals

    With the size of the FX market being what it is you have to ask yourself why someone would flog market signals to others. Don't they have the confidence in their own ability ? Are they hedging ? My own view is that none of these signal providers last very long. FX trading (other than news)...

    Weekend gaps

    You dont need to buy a robot like this because FF forum has a couple on there for free. And some guys have done backtests for a couple of years and the possibilities look good. Numbers are inevitably small however as you only get 52 weekends a year.

    Amount of money to move the market

    Another reason to know how much money can move a market of course is the manipulation of the prices. A technique some big traders use on Betfair on a daily basis is there are times when you can move the prices in one direction quite cheaply and then capitalise on the cheap move by trading out...

    Weekend gaps

    There's a thread on one of the other forums regarding the statistical tradeability of weekend gaps. Now I'm one for trading stats as I already trade pairs successfully but before I try my hand at a new idea I like to understand the logic behind it. It would be nice to hear from some FX...

    Amount of money to move the market

    Has anyone done a study on the amount of money required to move the FX market a given number of pips ? I assume the boys playing via the interbank market know this. Naturally this will varying according to the time of day etc but it would be interesting to see the data if there is any...

    The Rise and Fall of Mechanical Trading Systems

    I must admit, like some others, I'm not certain what you think you'll prove with this thread. OK, you may show that your chosen systems may not do as well as they claim but even if eventually (and you do realise that you're gonna have to do this for the long haul before you can come to a...

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    In one of the earliest posts by Geez, he used the term 'extended' in the context of 'looking for extended stocks'. Do you guys have a hard and fast rule about how you define 'extended' or is it based on some TA + intuition ?
