Am I a bit weird.........

 

About a year and a half ago, I went to NZ in view to move there.... I spent about 3 months on this first trip to see what I truly thought...

 

When I arrived, I planned on trading the HMA strat in view of automating what I do know but by using the HMAs for the computers benefit. Anyhow, I ws only trading the UK sess on cable and that was the opposite hours (nightime) and I thought it would be worth the sacrifice.

 

IT turned out that for the whole month it was the Asian session that traded better. Now, I thought (one of those important turning points in my career) that was a bit harsh, I wonder whether around the clock would be better.

 

So from then till now... I watched and traded around the clock to my benefit. This works especially well in FX obviously and especially in Yen/UK pairs as there is always someone awake and moving it.

 

Just reading a thread about 'potential setups' and for me, (I used to have this written in bold across my wall calender), EVERYTHING happens for a reason and thus, coupled with, a perfect exit is an entry, I realised that in my market, potential setups never end, they are always there as EVERYTHING happens for a reason...

 

Am I the only one that sees and does this?

 

I'm not sure what you're trying to say... but let me guess

the moral of the story is that every move, every swing, happens for a reason

so... there is no such thing as 'noise'?

 

if that's what you're saying, than I think yes you're right :)

otherwise... tell me again from the start!

The point of the post was to determine whether I am the only one in the world who sees every pip as an opportunity for profit? And to find out if I am weird!

 

Yes though, I don't think there is such thing as noise.

 

 

EDIT: I am weird though as I just broke a rule by exiting a trade which had paused on support yet not broken my trendline all just because I reached my ideal 500 for the week and watching it go another 80 odd + whilst I do my end of week notes!!!

I see T2W has hit a new low. Must say I am in agreement with the hedgehog... When a trading forums 90% of posts in one day is about porn and nude saunas, you have to wonder how they justify having trading in the website title? :roll eyes:

If you can't see the relationship between porn, trading, and nude saunas you are living a sheltered life Wasp. Time to get out of the South of England and see a few more countries.

I am a full bloodied male and shag like a rabbit BUT, this is business and a billion dollar one at that. If you want to talk porn, go to chan websites and the like, but for me, a trading website should be predominately that, about trading.

 

Where are the trading discussions on that forum?

Ian, I can't remember my password to rep you on T2W regards the 'punishment' post but that IMO, sums up the UK and the problems beautifully. Consider yourself repped in spirit!

Porn?

 

damn - i missed that discussion!

 

 

 

 

This last week has been very much a case of confirming that the new plan works & letting it all settle into my brain. Dipping in & out of a volatile but predominantly orderly market, & sim trading when in doubt. It went well.

 

Come monday morning i will have deleted most websites from my favourites list, and have a pledge which is to be 100% focused on the job in hand - trading.

Hi guys, there's not been a whole lot of participation lately in some threads of this 'live trading forum' (I'm not pointing the finger at anyone), but there is interest from a bunch of other guys who would like to participate in either posting live trades or commenting on charts and helping us figure out what the market is going to do next!

 

Unfortunately, right now, these guys can't access our threads because we are only visible for premium members. When we first got here, Soultrader was so kind to provide us with this incentive, but I think we must admit that we are coming up to a point where there is no need to keep things behind closed doors. There are no trolls around here, and those who aren't interest don't participate.

 

So, unless there are serious objections, I suggest we move everything over to the public area and see how things go. To be honest, I don't suspect much change, I just think we would all benefit from having others contribute as well. Over the course of the last few weeks several members have complained about being alone here. That would no longer be the case then :)

 

Wasp & myself are 200% behind the idea. I hope the rest is too!

 

Thanks to all those who have been loyally contributing in the past, and we

hope you continue to do so in the future.

Hi fw,

 

where are we posting live trades today mate?

here or public? if public, which thread?

 

same place as always smbtnt :)

if it's done in public, we'll just move these threads over so that the content and name remains the same and nobody gets lost...

It makes little difference to me - I trade while you sleep - and who's interested in trades that average less than 10 minutes anyway. But the idea that they don't need to be private seems reasonable to me.

The other aim is also to have a bit more contributions in the trade & chart analysis thread. I agree that most people aren't interested in each other's trades...

 

PS: some of my trades last hours ;)

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
