The usual response is "yes I've done that"....The defensive stance "how do you know....tells me what I wanted to know..thanks
and good luck
... lol wow how anal weird are you? .....the 'usual' response?
Sorry have I stuck a candlestick somewhere it won't shine?
I think what you need to know is that you're a presumptuous twit, good luck with that.

"Candlestick Charting Explained" by Gregory Morris has a section where he discloses his research on the subject....in my opinion its useless but there you go...My question is why don't you do your own research so that the result refects your target market and most recent data?
How do you know I haven't?
I don't see the problem in asking for references, the poster said he'd seen some research about these patterns. I'd like to look at it too if that's all right by you?
-
There is some great research out there that most candlestick patterns only work around 30% of the time.Could you point us in the direction of this research?

:applaud:
Well said.

It is also my observation that successful traders tend to have a sound theory for what they are seeing and why things are happening the way they do. I had a mentor myself and he looked at the market philosophically as a battleground for bulls and bears on which both groups constantly fight for control. This was inspirational to me.:rofl:
..... it's like a veil has been lifted :rofl:
....philosophically? did he? I think he might have had better luck looking at it metaphorically.

I was going to write more about this article and then I thought what a waste of time.
If you have "thanked" for this article you need to go and stand in the corner and think about what you have done..... :rofl:
...c'mon please, get it together guys this is lamentable.

Awesome Tams....... and I don't sling that word around lightly.

BOJ left rates unchanged but increased asset buying fund from Yen55 trln to Yen65 trln, all to be spent on JGBs. They also introduced a 1% policy inflation target.
USDJPY breaking up through a very old TL, maybe this is a bottom.
-
Good topic joshdance.
-
I should have chosen to watch some paint dry today, it would have been a thrill in comparison to this market.
Got squeezed out of a cable short @5796 early trying to fade something that wasn't in a fading mood.
USDJPY breaking 77.51 range low now, might look for a retest short there but it's a bit late in the day for me.
-
BOJ cant take a chance to Inter-vein in yen in near future. Its quite enough as they have been trying since a year to weaken yet but failed. I don't see any Intervention by BOJ until June.What's happening in June?

Been on a bit of a thinking holiday.
Thunk a lot.
Forex, it's like a greased eel.
Back at it next week to cast my hook into the waters.

I stumbled on to this one while randomly browzing Amazon recently.You stumbled upon the book you wrote....... please if you're going to spam us treat us with some degree of intelligence.
:spam:
I brought the book..... it's a piece of shit...... happy?

Nice trade OB, the SNB can relax their trigger finger for a bit.
Interested to know why you chose that level.
-
..... funny old world init..... I've got an order in at 1970.
I've taken their declaration of 1.20 a bit more generally.
-
London on the hard sell today. I took the option of trading this USD index again short as it failed to hold on to the swing high on the 4hourly.
Exited at channel low, ADR very high and ADP news, could drop more obviously but I've got my generous slice so I'm out till the next time.
-
Just wondering if any FX traders out there, have, or are thinking about putting on trades in pairs where the risk of intervention is high at the moment.
EURCHF and USDJPY are obviously the two launch pads in question.
The SNB have been barking on about defending 1.20, the JCB are rather more mercurial.
-
Quite like the idea of trading a Dollar index, this one turned out nice and reversed in it's channel.
-
So-called trading gurus permeate our society to exploit the starry-eyed eagerness of a trader trying to learn....... yeah they are all scum, every last blood sucking one of them.

Trading is like a marathon, not a race though. Reach the finish line and don't care about the ones who passed you.It may take a year for you to gain what you lost but does it really matter? Once you figure out how to beat the market, you will start making money.
If you increase trading size to gain faster, you make another mistake by forgetting money/risk management...keep it slow and constant...you will see that you feel more comfortable...
I think you may be over simplifying things with platitudes, but I get your point and appreciate your comment.
Trading is a performance activity, we can't learn from our mistakes if we don't care about them.

This journal has ground to a halt due to lack of time and commitment.
Work and family has left none spare, so I may as well just put a full stop here.
