Is this Patrick Mahomes?

This really should not be regarded as a surprise. Appointing people using characteristics which are irrelevant to the job they are to do is unlikely to result in an improvement in performance. Of course, some otherwise unavailable changes might occur and some of these might be beneficial. But...

Thank you. Not really what I thought you meant but interesting.

Stop thinking about dollars per day and start thinking about % profit per month. On the tactical level, adapt your trading plans so that you are under-exposed or even stay out on unfavourable days and focus your efforts on the most productive days. Focus on improving your winners rather than...

A historic step along the road - towards irrelevance and mediocrity. From where I am in the UK, I'm wish the EU had done this first. But then, their exchanges are already almost irrelevant anyway.

Would you please like to say a little about how you have profited from investing in CHF this year?

I don't use any off-chart indicators. I use the sequence and the slopes of the 20 and 50EMA at the latest close to tell me the trend, if any, and to gauge the strengths of trends against each other, and even to tally how many of a currency's 7 pairs currently give it a bullish or bearish bias...

I mostly trade forex, long-term and take a top-down view of currency strengths so I know I will be getting into the strongest trends with the strongest currency match-ups. I quickly view the 28 leading pair charts to see which are in strong up or down trends. This also allows a simple tally of...

Manipulation? This raises just one or two minor points. Manipulation? By whom? For whom? At what price? How is it kept secret? When was this first done? Who originated the idea? Who argued against it and why have they not come forward? Why does it not always work? Why doesn't it happen every...

Absolutely. The only thing to do with a bubble is ride it up, keep banking profits and get out when it bursts.

I did some review work on the Dow at the end of last year, including which days of the week in 2019 did we get 1% daily rises or falls in the index. In 2019 there were 24 single day index price rises of 1% or more. 10 were on Fridays, 3 on Mondays, 6 on Tuesdays, 2 on Wednesdays, and 3 on...

Almost all of my trades, whatever is behind them, are trend-following. Most of them are off the D1 charts and for these I never look at a lower time-frame. Sure, you might occasionally catch an earlier entry, but obviously this would be capped to less than 1 day's range. Whereas by waiting until...

Each time the Dow prints 2 consecutive days with a lower high and a lower low, I put in a spreadbet buy order just above the second high. One day this will stop working....

While your particular instrument / market is closed, you can place an order or delete or amend an existing order, but it will not be triggered until the market re-opens and prices start to be re-quoted.

An order of any kind, including a stop-loss order, is only triggered when price reaches the order price level. If prices for the instrument in question are not being generated, the order cannot be triggered. When the prices start being generated again, typically when that particular market...

Every year a mega-crash of the Dow is predicted. A favourite time for publishing such stuff is around the change of year, but also near round numbers, especially millennials. I wish there was an index of crash-predictions I could be long on, it would have made a nice annual profit.

What is "too far"? What is "too fast"? Especially when its the Dow we're looking at and talking about.

Its very possible to beat the stock market indices assuming two basic conditions which are not readily available to all US traders - 1. you can take a position on the index price 2. you can take short positions on the index

Is it really a holiday? Or has there been a coup in the US? Maybe everything has been shut down...... Of course, the BBC over here are not reporting anything. But they wouldn't, would they? They're probably under the same control by the same evil global cabal.

I always try to remember to post up any strategy I am using which bears on my forum posts. For two reasons - firstly, if I'm going to give an opinion on an issue some trader has raised, and if I say "I wouldn't have done that, I would have done this", I feel obliged to justify my credibility...
