I suppose people will believe whichever way they want to believe/hope in....... this 'recovery' that has no true fundamentals behind it....would become the first ever 'smoke and mirrors ' recovery that held its ground in reality ,a self created reality. how much time must pass before that...

nice moon calendar shortie. I use a standard ephemeris myself. I'm sure people are prone to laugh about this idea, but I would take it seriously ,since I'm an astrologer. I have no problem seeing the idea working.

shortie,I'm starting to watch the new and full moon cycles now to see what it adds to the picture. I would like to keep this thread alive .I think it could be a valuable tool to use,as yoohoo described. I plotted all the new and full moons recently..... it looks like the influence of the full...

well,I spent 3 hours reading this entire thread. amazing that it was started in 2006.... how hard can it be to go to an ephemeris.....plot the new and full moon dates with a vertical line on a candlestick chart and watch what happens a few days around the full moon...... combine that with any...

I cant say I understand a word of what the other posters described. But the question...can you read this chart ...and what could it mean in the whole scheme of things...I might pose these thoughts. From a technical analysis point of view, the chart shows monumental abberations, the giant...

I agree that its important to learn to handle the real stress of trading with real money. but the problem I fin in trading very small amounts, like 10,000(which amounts to a $ 1 dollar /pip) is that all the hard work ,analysis,and execution skills, market saavy,good trading ,etc...might earn...

yeah,Surdo, lol, thats what I think too sometimes... sometimes, I see such clear trendline channels, more like 'energy channels' ...that show me a price target hours ahead of time, and I watch price eventually go right there...and Ive spent hours calculating and analyzing,and drawing lines...

Looking at all the maze of trendline channels, can you 'see' which way price is going? up or down ? the answer ,I think, is Both up and down. its the classic battle between bull and bear energy. My strategy in analysis, using multiple time frame charts side by side, the 1 minute, 5...

I agree with your thoughts ,simple...and sounds like you have a good study /trade plan going. Montal..... the thing you said about finding a platform that 'plots the s/r points for you'.... not sure if there is , but I would advise against ever using any automated gadget or system, that...

The good news is that you can practice in a Demo account and its a great way to learn. I would suggest Oanda...because when you finally become ready to open a small account with real money, Oanda is a likely choice that will allow you to have a micro account. Other bits of advise....stick...

Yes, Babypips is a good place to start. Assuming the OP is sincere and wants to know about starting the process of Learning.... I can offer a few timely thoughts. My best basic advise for Newbies who are just starting to discover forex. 1) Forget Any kind of commercial ,well advertised...

I like this thread on channel analysis. its a good topic. but why not take some time to offer up some useful analysis,while were at it. here is a recent eur/usd chart ....in forex trading, the euro is supposed to move well in channels. I see clear channels all the time. but what I...

Hi Will, (and CF) happy new year to you all. Yes when I posted this about Oanda back in august...was having those issues, and since then 2 things, one I did realize that the problem was I was overloading the platform with too much details, trendlines, etc....and as you say, probably was the...

Nice charts to look at. I think cutten makes a good point about the importance of fundamentals. witness the recent things happening with the eur/usd. interest rate cuts etc... fundamentals have to be taken into account no doubt. I'm seeing how fundamentals intertwine with technical analysis...

Thanks,Y , for that lesson. good stuff

Hi Greg, sorry I havent emailed you lately. You have the right idea, and you have serious traders confirming it. If I can share more thoughts about trading the forex...I would encourage you to stay Patient ...about going live with real money.... its really better to be cautious and very...

Part of the reason why I'm interested in this thread is because this risk issue,and risk aversion, was my biggest problem I had to overcome and I just recently achieved that. I was setting all my stop loss at 3 or 4 pips, trying to perfectly time my entries. I got pretty good at finding the...

Now, if you are trading without a viable strategy that defines your entry and exit, then you should not be trading at all and that is your biggest risk right there! thats exactly what I was trying to get at, ML. good posts

I agree with saliva, timing is very critical. its everything.

Many interesting posts here,and this last idea,I think I do understand, having recently been practicing it as a focus of technique. In trading forex, I'm finding it works this way.... Before even thinking of making a trade...I establish a comprehensive pre-trade analysis of all the TA...
