Oanda API & Third Party Tracking Sites in General Mar 20, 2011 at 08:35

Are you sure they did it on purpose or is it that they don't have the capacity to come up with a history publishing solution?Is it that hard in the twenty first century? We have space travel, we have brain surgery, we have DNA technology - look at these GloFish: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GloFishTry this: open an MT4 subaccount. Open a 0.01 lot trade in MT4. Close MT4 and open the old trading platform. You will have the 1000 unit trade there. Close 10 units - you'll have 990 units open. Now open MT4 and look what you have. It's fucked.Oanda has good spreads and good execution, an...

Yes ... and maybe you had a little bit of luck this time ... anyway nice double-bottom formation on the yellow equity curve - let's hope it follows the rules of technical analysis and it will go very high 😁

Naked Trading Trade Ideas in Experienced Traders Mar 18, 2011 at 14:14

Yeah, they say it's all in the charts ... "I feel there is a line of sell orders" below the former support levels ... but if you check the news, when CBs are on the bid, you don't wanna be short, do you? Would be like playing chicken with CBs 😁 http://www.forexlive.com/174290/all/forexlive-morning-warp-market-sees-concerted-g7-interventionhttp://www.forexlive.com/174299/all/federal-reserve-and-bank-of-canada-selling-yenhttp://www.forexlive.com/174361/all/nomura-estimates-ecb-bought-around-5-yards-of-eurjpy

Random or not? in General Mar 18, 2011 at 10:11

Ah, getting even better. So it's randomly changing between phases of randomness and non-randomness. All I can tell is, is the position going my way or is it not. Nothing else, really.Sometimes I just don't understand how I even survived more than two years in the meat mincer. Yeah, must be luck. L-U-C-K.All right, TGIF and let's play music - - - - - - dealers keep dealin', thieves keep thievin', market keeps bustin', serial account blowers keep blowin' that's the way it's stayin' baby yeahhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZpUcp-wgKM

My strategy in a nutshell in Experienced Traders Mar 18, 2011 at 07:39

Good one, Stefan. If you have some interesting charts, with "best of the best" trade examples, please don't hold'em back.

What if we just have to get used to such moves, once in a month or so? Intraday or "intraweek" massacre in a flash, then things get back to "normal".Anyways, small positions will survive even such moves ... and big overleveraged trades ... get bucklefucked properly.

Random or not? in General Mar 18, 2011 at 07:30

Hi Giorgio ... good questions. I think it's really about our expectations ... and that will affect what we see on the charts ... like the famous paintings of Arcimboldo ... is it a human face or is it just vegetables?http://www.theartwolf.com/services/wallpapers/arcimboldo_1024-768.jpghave a nice weekend

FLASH MOVEMENTS 2011-03-16 5pm EST in General Mar 17, 2011 at 18:47

You're right Raiden, Sep 15 and last year's SNB interventions looked different than May and yesterday. But how can you explain that no prices were available? Liquidity was drier than a nun's muff, and big orders came in. What if nobody's "doing it", this stuff happens intraday all the time: price takes out all highs/lows then reverses sharply, stopping out everyone in every direction. Yesterday it happened on the daily chart, once in a year it can happen.

Yeah, one of the few lads who are not embarrassed with their trading ... no fairy tales, no excuses, no secrets, no bollocks, just open trading with real money. Keep it that way.

Random or not? in General Mar 16, 2011 at 20:16

You've put it very simple and clear, there are so many possibilities for analysis, something just has to match even a random chart.Which leads us to the question, which parts of TA could be considered valid or useful on real charts.Let's agree that by "random" we don't mean totally haphazard up and down movement, but rather "unpredictable".And we could also agree on that longer term trends exist - gold is in an uptrend. Oil is in an uptrend. Chances are, their price will rise in the next couple of weeks, months or years. Where exactly to go long, with the smalle...

I see.Enough said, I wish you luck and will be looking forward to seeing the equity curve.Money talks, everything else walks, that's how they say ...sayings are good😄😄😄

Random or not? in General Mar 16, 2011 at 16:57

My friend, if you check the last chart I posted, I wrote a technical analysis for a random chart. Channel, trendline, fibo, divergence, whatever.I don't have any EAs.Let me repeat my statements:1. I have a hard time telling the difference between a real FX chart and a randomly generated one.2. I find it interesting that it's so easy to fit a pattern, indicator signal or other TA stuff on a random chart.That's it.

Random or not? in General Mar 16, 2011 at 16:04

I wouldn't complicate it with unknown forces, theories or anything. Just look at the random charts and real ones - even TA works wonderfully on random charts. I for one have seen a few charts so far but honestly I would mistake any of the above random charts for real FX charts - all of them go up and down like a hookers knickers.You know what? Generate charts for yourself - and if you can tell what's random and what's real, you're the winner.1. copy the attached scripts to the Experts/Scripts folder of your MT42. drag randomcharts.mq4 on some open chart, will generate M1 data3....

Oh, it wasn't that difficult since they had a lightning fast feed (from HotspotFX if memory serves). So it was arbitrage - until they started making real money. I know another fella who worked at the MorganStanley HFT center. Machines analyse the orders sent by other banks' machines. He said it's all about the microseconds. Milliseconds is too slow in their world. But I'm not into HF really, I just heard the stories ... and maths, no, not my world either.Oanda is good but not what it used to be - platform goes down during news, spreads sometimes remain wide for so long - does a...

Delusions Grandiose !! in Trading Systems Mar 16, 2011 at 14:15

I see. Sounds reasonable. Nevertheless, I once spoke to a quant trader who was busted by Dukascopy on HF trading. Once he started making big fat profits, they made it impossible for him to trade that way - disconnects, slippage, all that stuff. It's unbelievable what computers can do these days.By the way, is there a demo Oanda API? Do you have to pay for it too?

Delusions Grandiose !! in Trading Systems Mar 16, 2011 at 12:40

Well I had a crazy mathematician friend look at your numbers and he extracted the following information:The high symmetry of winners/losers in the Duration chart suggests that it's automated and orders are opened/closed in pairs, at the same time.It seems that it's always EURUSD long + GBPUSD short or EURUSD short + GBPUSD long at the same time.Positions are often closed it they show ~1 % profit (long + short together). Holding times vary, and the trade logic probably adds more in the same direction until the profit targets are reached.Sometimes it sits in bigger DDs than the average w...

The Meat Mincer in General Mar 15, 2011 at 15:46

I'm wondering what keeps the European Union together ... it's not the common history, it's not a common language, maybe it's the charismatic president? I never heard about him .. 😁http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bypLwI5AQvYIt's funny that Eurozone countries Estonia with $15k GDP and Slovakia with $22k are supposed to be borrowing money to bailout Greece with $27k GDP per head. Funny indeed.

Keep that upper lip stiff. Don't be so sensitive. Fact is, 99.9999999999999 % of accounts are deleted after being blown big time. Some people blow it fast, some are more like a slow motion car crash.Very rare to see someone not hiding their previous failures, such an example is:http://www.myfxbook.com/members/IntuSo you haven't blown it, good trading. Keep it that way.By the way, "account cemetery" is a hilarious idea. Not sure our serial account blower friends would like it tho. Jsantos, if you put it in the suggestion box, you can count on my "yes" vote. 😁
