Can you please keep your cheap, unfunny, off-topic comments to your own board please. ;)

In order to keep the main live trades and analysis threads clean, any other comments and posts can be made in here...

 

ie, an NQ chart for comparison or the dollar index to compare rates and anything similar.

 

(Or to abuse firewalker as he is always drunk and will never remember otherwise :rofl:)

Good idea. To start with I would like to apologize in advance for everything wasp is going to post here, because it will probably be a lot of bs. :haha:

 

Seriously, I hope that those who are interested can continue as by the examples shown. As you can see, it's not an issue when posting losing trades! Wasp has done it, I just did it. It's participation that counts, not trying to proof a point.

Even spelling is unimportant too, we all make mistakes! Trading is about being perfect though of course, its impossible and a good trader embraces losses, yet shrugs them off like water from a ducks back.

You just upload them here, as an attachment.

That way you can use the url from here to make the image appear inside the post.

Do you still trade in currencies SMBTNT?

 

Yes primarily cable, I can gauge the pair better than most. However lately its been subjected to some battering thanks to eur/gbp, so the noise has increased. Saying that it's still a great mover and ticks all hte boxes in terms of technicals.

How about yourself? You still playing the exotics or just jpy crosses?

Been concentrating solely on the Yens over the last few months. I got bored of cable whilst it went through a quiet period and after trying a few different instruments settled on yens as they gave a better overall picture and best for risk management for me.

 

The exotics are fun but too many too cover and I prefer to concentrate on just 2 or 3 and spread the equity across them.

FW, can you give me the short version of what VSA is as I haven't the time to read the thread(s) but there is a lot of discussion on it here.

 

EDIT: No need, the description comes up when you put your mouse over it!

my little info link has gone now.

 

I always assumed it was something to do with volume and I do not have volume in FX so never bothered to read anything on it.

is it volume related?

 

Yes, it has everything to do with volume.

 

It tries to explain how the smart money leaves footprints in the sense of volume.

 

Tom Williams originally wrote the book 'the undeclared secrets of the stock market', the latest incarnation of that is "master the markets".

 

Sebastian Manby is one of the followers, he used to post on T2W too under the nick VSATrader.

 

However, by first impression, there seems to be some kind of chiasm between the Wyckoff followers and VSA, although the latter is derived from the first. If you need to know more, I suggest you read the VSA I and II threads. Plenty of discussion going on by the looks of it!

I noticed hence the question.

 

I will never use volume so seems little need. Besides, us real pro's can see what's happening in price alone thanks.

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
