Hi Guys,
Thanks for your posts. You are all right.
But …
If you play a poker, you see players, their reactions.
They are wearing some dark glasses, hats, caskets, etc. (see Las Vegas Championship)
to hide these emotional actions, for simple reason, their are bluffing.
We don’t see a broker, his action but we feel his reaction- we are loosing money.
Broker can see our cards, he will play against us.
What type of “poker” brokers are playing with us?
How we can beat theme????? That is my question.
Thanks.
Bongo

mp6140.....You corrected me for saying that you had been trading for 15 years by telling me that you never said it was that long


This is from your first post on this thread..."having been trading for 30 and trading specifically forex for 7 years,"

A LIAR AND A CHEAT WILL ALWAYS BE FOUND OUT

Here is a post from another forum where in October last year he clearly states that he discovered forex 2 years ago.

So which is it 7 or 2 .

MP -- technical vs. news - 10-14-2007, 08:34 PM

Felix provides excellent fundamentals for new releases......Has anyone had good experiences with technical resources? (FXbootcamp, Rob Booker, etc.)

=============================================

as an ex-equities technical trader for 20 years, I "discovered" Forex 2 years ago, and aside from long term investments in the normal commodities for my childrens trusts, Ive never looked back.

Using the LRC and a touch of experience, one finds Forex to be phenominally technical, even during news when it will reach reasonably easily established resistance (or support) points. But what becomes even more fun is that given a short amount of time, the currency will RETURN TO ITS ORIGINAL TREND, ALMOST TO THE PIP it was at when it diverged.

If that aint technical trading at its best, I dont know what is !

and in full agreement, Felix doesnt tell you HOW to trade, but what to look for in a trade, and while some newbs may want it handed to them on a silver platter, it sure is enough for me -- Kuddos to an experienced trader !

enjoy and trade well

An ex equities trader who missed the biggest small cap IPO this side of hell...


Sorry ex "technical" trader of 20 years.....Funny that seeing how equities are traded purley on fundamentals...

Divendends, P/E Ratios, Market Cap, Revenues, sales,....the list goes on...

Poker is the same as trading. Both require learning a particular skill; why do you think it's always the same guys who end up at the final table of the world poker tour; or the same guys who end up running the biggest trading floors/hedge funds.

The idea that markets are efficient is incorrect, this has been proven time and time again. Which means that short term currency moves are based on sentiment and momentum and not on fundamental price parity. Sentiment and momentum can then be calculated via indicators, and I don't mean MACD and RSI which are essentially useless now. So it is possible to gain an edge by being able to have a probability of correctness of greater then 50%. It is possible to increase your odds to greater then a random coin toss. Just like knowing someones "tell" in Poker can give you the same edge.

It's all about reading individual people in Poker, while trading markets is about reading whole mobs of people, that may be the greatest difference if there is any.

Equities are not always traded by fundamentals, there is a place for "technical analysis" to some degree.. Day traders read "Tape" they know nothing of fundamental data nor do they care. Fundamentals are great for mid to long term trading, while the short term moves are purely about sentiment and momentum. Intra-day moves do not always move in line of the fundamentals.

PLEASE philt, you are never going to get anyplace by dealing with attacks on me, but if you choose to discuss trading, and i feel like answering you, then we might get somewhere.

If you bother to reread my answer that you once again misquote, you will read that i said "double that 15 years" and thru the marvel of multiplication, one arrives at 30 years.

If you then choose to bring up something that was probably a simple typo, then shame on you for how much you must really hate me !

Your anger is spilling out like an overstuffed chair that should be thrown away

I HAVE NEVER ASKED THAT ANYONE DO ANYTHING BUT LOOK AT A CHART and see if what I say makes sense or not --- YOU'RE trying to defend what cannot be assaulted or defended --- SIMPLY LOOK AT ANYTHING I SAY, AND SEE WHETHER IT WORKS OR NOT and then stop wasting words !

and in the meantime, give the rest a break, cause you will never prove the truth to be a lie !

Youre obviously upset, but show me where anything concerning trading is wrong, and ill dump a few people on top of this thread to show you the flip side of a really dumb arguement !

lets us both stop filling peoples mailboxes with clutter and on your side, outright dishonesty and hatred !

Sorry maybe i wasnt clear... Fundamentals are the driving force behind Stocks..When you are a broker/trader buying on behalf of your client on exchange wether its open pit or ECN you do not use any form of TA at all...You are simply carrying out orders to but on behalf of whoever has look at the stocks through fundamentals for one reason or another...

You don buy x amount of shares because its at the top of a channel ....lol of course you can use TA but i was refering to mp's comment that he was a TA equities trader, obviously implying institutional, but this is not the case..

And mp, you still havent answered my question...and stop making out your'e being victamised, its rediculous

Totally agree with you in regards to institutional investors.. However there's a difference between an investor who is putting on a trade that is going to be lasting a few weeks to months to years.. Yes definitely the data used to make that decision is inherently fundamental. However there are quite a few traders out there who trade short term time horizons, (minutes, hours). These traders do not often use Fundamental data to be the basis of the reason why they make the trade. They use technical analysis data to do so or some form of mathematical algorithms etc. I'm really referring to day traders, and those who hold stocks/bonds/forex for less then a day or two.
