Japanese Nikkei is so easy to trade, and I understand exactly why

what most of North Americans don't understand because they don't know much about the rest of the world

is that Japanese are very artistic and sophisticated traders. here is what happened

because of their tendency toward short term trading, they have significantly altered behavior of Nikkei

now here is where it gets ironic, by being so active in the market they randomized the market much more, just like ES is more zig zaged than anything else in US

BUT, in doing that they actually created movements where a very significant edge can be exploited

this is the funny truth about FREE markets

is that no matter how many sophisticated players you introduce there always will be opportunities for a savvy trader to exploit

the problem with ET and nature of this business

is that I am simply not willing to show my methods, programs, etc

imagine how cool would it be if people shared their work

there are people on ET that really know what they are talking about

but they have no choice but to keep it quiet
 
seriously though I always thought it was impossible to profit in a "random" market, because the spreads would kill you in the end.

I have kinda looked over the nikkei a few times but never spent more than 20 mins analyzing it.

Wonder if japanese candesticks will work on the nikkei, muhaha
 
Sounds like you had a winning week or month or trading and now this is easy?

The fricken market has so much range and opportunity that it is juicy now but wait til we settle down in Range and you can not cover up your mistakes and lack of discipline.

A BSD does not go around bringing attention or patten him self on his own back.
