Not so easy.

When the volatilty rises the banks offset some of this high volume selling by raising the spread... A higher spread discourages some selling and it gives the bank more breathing room to offset their position and gives them bigger profits in fees.

I see what you mean by middle man. In short calm time, of course, I agree.

But we all know what comes suddenly after calm time. Sudden sell-off etc.

Still who wins majority, by which things?

It's not positive or negative about forex. I'm trying to be real, because playing with real money. And I'm really care why I win and who loss and why.

I like the phrase - market ignores the news.

The subject of this item...not so easy

Me personally, guys, I have the responsibility to admit that I don't know even for a half with what I have a deal with. I think the majority of traders don't care about to look deeply at forex. That's why like in every business they loss.

I know that I wouldn't get the full answer about my questions here, because it's too expansive one...in money terms and in terms of experience.

But I'm sure it's not the MA, geometry, math etc. to win....it have to be a well-adopted complicated system of many elements, with one important elements - psychology and eager to find the truth.

I just want by this topic to attract the attention quite deeply on forex and why general audience are admited to play.

Well although you are looking for a substantial answer to a question that is vague...I surely wouldn't start doubting the experience of some of the people that are posting here for you... I myself spoke of FinMath and Geometry because it is very much related to the answer to your question. Considering that Math is the underlying science of EVERYTHING. Know that if you knew a great deal of it you wouldn't be asking questions like the ones you're asking. Don't take me as a flamer but just know that the answer you seek is sitting right in front of your face.

Like I said it's all a mathematical equation... Whether you'd like to think of it that way or not...

...It would be better for me to state that you could "Reasonably" accomplish the goals you're seeking, but it will take time for the learning curve. Which for some reason people seem to never want to take time to do. .. Like I said though there's a learning curve involved because there is a great deal to knowing how and what kind to apply.

Hmm... A bit curious since my beliefs are somewhat geared to the assumption that many things require getting over the learning curve hump. My FinMath is limited to structured finance, and I'm always looking to add books to my reference shelf. Specifically, what categories of geometry theory are applicable if you don't mind my asking? Homography (only thing that comes to mind at the moment)???

Kind Regards,
MAK!

Well Mak you're going to thank me for this one...Becasue I'm going to private message you with just what you want to know...Heck I'll even get you started by pointing you in the direction of a PHD level paper that will get you going... Just because it seems you have a good head on your shoulders.The learning curve like I said will take a while but it will all be worth it in the end...

I know one good PhD who states that math has nothing with forex.

If the answer is in front of my face you are probably millionire.

But I'd say if your goal was a 1000 pips or more a month it's not unreasonable at all...

How about your current goal?

I am...But when I first got my money it didn't have anything to do with the Fiancial Markets... I was and am still an internet marketer...I told you I wasn't trying to flame you. But since your ONE GOOD PHD is so eloquently knowlegdeable about the FOREX market I'll tell you now he isn't a PHD of Physics.

Also he must not have any clue that those indicators you probably blatently stare at have to do with MATH

How about your current goal?

I've got two goals ...One is for the clients whose money I manage. The other is for myself. Although both goals have the same basic idea of safety and longevity... For Clients I try to make sure I give them at least 100% return a year on there money vested with the Clearing Firm I work for. For myself I am still into using various strategies to sort of see what happens. Mind you also that I've experience with A.I. and finace so I am a complete systems trader. But if you're asking have I seen more than 1000 pips in a 30 day time frame...Absolutely...but the whole idea is that even if I get those kind of gains steadily I wouldn't use the leverage to try to turn my money into millions more every chance I get. Just for the sure reasons that I like to sleep at night...
