I think both are good, perhaps in different ways. :)

That was Harry's gem, not mine. I think you're quite right about the mystical "science" of price dynamics. Of which much has been discussed systematically by this book: Forecasting Financial Markets: The Psychology of Successful Investing (Hardcover) by Tony Plummer Publisher: Kogan...

In my mind, I've been thinking for some time the part of TA targeting the above SAMMPAP issue would be much more interesting and valuable than the conventional TA counterpart in order to make profits consistently, imo. A book teaching such as - "How to read and produce manipulated TA...

Yes, it's 2 pips now. Thanks.

Still 10pips spread with Oanda by now? Usually should be 2 pips one hour ago.

Sometimes both would make good money at the same time. Cheers :)
