New breakouts in Forex market

Hi,

Today, there is a news is NZD/USD breakout. Because the percentage of wage increased when compared to previous year. So there is a news release as NZD/USD breakout. I have a doubt whether it is a uptrend or downtrend.

I made a trade there with SELL position. But there is a slow market movement. Will it achieve the target

do trader have their own trading cycle

We use indicators to look at the market because we believe market has its cycle and it will repeat itself. And we think the indicators can tell us about that.

If we believe the market has its cycle, should we, as trader, has our own trading cycle. If we have our own cycle, will we make more good trades in our good cycle and more bad traders in our bad cycle. If we have indicators in our own trading cycle, will it make our trading simpler and more profitable?

Has anyone tried Easy Markets ?

According to the blurb with this broker one can cancel a losing trade as long it is within 1 hour.
Can it be for real or are there hidden catches ?
Let us know please..................

How does a company raise capital from an IPO?

If it is the owners of the company that profit from selling their shares to the public, how does that benefit the company? How does that raise capital for the company if the owners get all the money? Everywhere I read that one of the main reasons why companies decide to go puclic, is to raise capital so they can grow. But how?? :)

Just about trading successfully. And avoiding Pitfalls

pick apart this newbie day trader strategy

hello,

just starting to study basic day trading and will ask a question that (as of yet) I cannot find
a good answer for. And i will admit that i'm completely and totally green in this.

i think my focus would be on day trading only (equities) during the mornings with a starting brokerage
acct of about 30k. I'm in the USA.

since i'm totally green and don't know what i'm doing my obvious need is to eliminate as
much risk during my learning process.

i am mostly interested in momentum trading, closing out my positions at the end of each day.

and i'm thinking of using a scanner such as the "momo" IOS app to find possible buy positions (long) in
somewhat "real-time". (or an alternative scanner tuned for the best setups---i don't think momo is tuneable)

anyway, let's say that there might be about 20 or so possible buy positions avail per day. (i'm seeing this in momo testing now)

based on what i've studied so far,
it seems like if you bought modest positions in these daily (bullish) momo picks and didn't invest more than about 2% of your trading acct combined on any given day and set ultra-tight stops (the minimum the broker would allow) and bought only after you verified in the morning that the momo stock was heading up when you bought, you could achieve profit on every position that was not stopped out. And i understand that i would be stopped out many, many times.

and i understand that the brokerage fees on these stop outs would be a significant % of costs, but if you are investing only on bullish momentum trades and closing out all positions in the afternoon, seems like you could not help but have profitable days right out of the gate.

and if you added some trailing stops as necessary to preserve the gains you could improve on this.

am i missing something here?

thanks!

Hardcore Scalping Expertise

Main idea of this journal is to check how long I'm able to keep up to a plan created by a mathematical formula assuming that I make profit at level 1, 3 or 5% daily.
I made a chart in excel which shows planned results for those three variants.
It's a compound interest formula in which variables are :
-start date
-initial capital
-amount of lots for trade
-planned daily profit in %

The column "Pips" shows the amount of pips you need to get to achieve assumed daily profit.

What gave me this table?
I realized that earning only 4-5 pips a day, trading 0.1 lot at the capital 1000 PLN you can achieve growth rate of 22% per month. Because it is intended to be an experiment called "Hardcore Scalping" - I will try to trade according to column for 5%, hoping that I will keep pace for column 3% and probably ending at 1% :p.
The project will end in case of reaching 10 000 PLN or loosing the whole capital.
I am aware that the project can end up with a disaster, that's why I risk a small amount ( 1000PLN=400 USD) , which will be a low price to pay for valuable experience in the Forex market.

The experiment began on December 29, with 1000 PLN transferred on brokers account.
According to the table at the end of the month 27-01-2017 (20 days = 4 weeks of the experiment), depending on the expected growth in % daily I should achieve:
• 1% - 1220 PLN or 122% of the initial capital
• 3% - 1806 PLN or 181% "
• 5% - 2653 PLN or 265% "

Actual balance after 1 month (20 trading days =28-01-2017) is 3061 PLN as shown in printscreen from myfxbook .
It means that in first month plan was reached ,even exceeded by 400 PLN.
This surplus will be helpful in case of coming sooner or later losses ;)

I will make reports here every few days ,obligatory on weekends.

Gann vibration system

Helo...

Greetings....

to all forum members, traders, technical analysts.


I'm new to the forum and not to the subject of Technical Analysis. I am a job holder by profession in Hyderabad, India and having passion towards the stock market. That drives me to explore the subject of Technical Analysis. I too started basically how all the people will start with oscillators/trend indicators not only one....but a lot of indicators and methods which are based on derivatives of price. No wonder after some time I too failed, like many others. But my thirst was never ending.

Some years later, I followed a chat in a forum about GANN and his discoveries and his valuable research. Then, my curiosity to learn GANN methods became more.

Decided to learn GANN methods. But how...and where to start? This was a big puzzle...

My next step...

I studied many books, downloaded the articles...literally I read every material/article on the web when I find just the name of four letter word of "GANN". Most of them were just a copied articles from GANN books, but some were really worthy and helped me to gain some basic knowledge.

With studying.... researching.... observing... practicing... many years passed.... and brain was cluttered, at one stage I thought I failed to catch the point from GANN Theories, have to give up....but passion did not allow me to do so. Like this many years spent on studying and observing the charts, calculations, drawing the angles, square root methods, phi methods, geometric, harmonic, natural law and solar, lunar, methods....a lot of methods. Finally, could catch the point and discovered my :

1. Unique GANN vibration System methods.

2. Exclusive NIFTY Intraday Timings -
(This timings for National stock exchange, Mumabi. But analysis will allow to find any market worldwide.)

3. MASTER TIME FACTOR
(Probably this Master Time Factor so many knows, so this is not required here to explain.)

I will start posting of my GANN VIBRATION SYSTEM :

What is GANN Vibration System :

According to Gann :

"After exhaustive researches and investigations of the known sciences, I discovered that the law of vibration enabled me to accurately determine the exact points at which stocks or commodities should rise and fall within a given time."

"By knowing the exact vibration of each individual stock I am able to determine at what point each will receive support and at what point the greatest resistance is to be met."


"Mathematics is the only exact science. All power under heaven and on earth is given to the man who masters the simple science of mathematics."

"There is nothing in the Universe but mathematical points of force" - Faraday


Based on the above inputs from GANN, I decoded the Gann Vibration system with Gann Analysis from Cycles other methods and discovered the numbers for National Stock Exchange (Mumbai, India) Stock Futures, Cash Stocks, Currency Derivatives, BSE Stocks and Commodity Futures like Crude oil, Natural Gas, Gold, Silver and Agri Commodities which are trading at MCX Exchange, Mumbai.

How to calculate vibration number from stock high or low price and

How to use Vibration Number :


Whenever the stock or Stock future high or low resultant comes at single digit number
and match with my discovered GANN vibration number that high or low will act as reistance
or support for that stock or stock future.

If stock or stock future high price resultant match with my GANN vibration number you will
go short and Stop loss as the high of that single number resultant price bar.

(ex : stock/future price : 1234.25 you add all the numbers and you get resultant with
a single digit number i.e., = 1+2+3+4+2+5 = 17 = 1+7 = 8 is the single resultant
number)

Likewise, If stock or stock future low price resultant match with my GANN vibration number
you will go long and Stop loss as the low of that single number resultant price bar.

When you have made decent profits you should book profits otherwise you may wait for
GANN vibration number at High if it is buy.

When you have made decent profits you should book profits otherwise you may wait for
GANN vibration number at low if is sell/short.

Another technique for this GANN vibration number system is If you are in a short position
in a future and after prolonged downside the low price resultant comes at vibration
number, and you have not booked profits at that time and you are expecting more
downside to book the profits. In that case, if the 30mt time frame candle closes
above the low of that vibration number candle you must exist your position. If you
have a steel of nerve you may try to go long at stop of that vibration low.

If you are a not a Intraday trader and you have short position in futures a close above the vibration low price bar on EOD basis you must close the position, reverse for long side.

In another method, if the vibration number high or low broken you may act accordingly which side it has broken and initiate trade that side, ultimately opposite as Stop loss.

In this system EOD close above the GANN Vibration Number high or low number most important.

As per best of my knowledge I have explained how to use my Gann Vibration system.

Here is the demonstration of my GANN VIBRATION SYSTEM

VIBRATION NUMBERS : CARDAMOM

SYMBOL : CARDAMOM (commodity futures)

EXCHANGE : MCX
, MUMBAI


"By knowing the exact vibration of each individual stock I am able to determine at what point each will receive support and at what point the greatest resistance is to be met." - Gann

”After years of patient study I have proven to my entire satisfaction as well as demonstrated to others that vibration explains every possible phase and condition of the market.”After exhaustive researches and investigations of the known sciences, I discovered that the Law of Vibration enabled me to accurately determine the exact points to which stocks or commodities should rise and fall within a given time. The working out of this law determines the cause and predicts the effect long before the Street is aware either.” - Gann

The below chart of CARDAMOM Futures showing the reaction from it's vibration numbers and effects from it's cause.

CARDAMOM COMMODITY FUTURES VIBRATION NUMBERS : 5 and 6


Cardamom futures will vibrate whenver the candle bar high or low resultant comes at single digit of 5 or 6 it is on high alert.

Chart time frame : Weekly
Period : Year of 2009 - 2010

https://ibb.co/mYpP5a

Chart time frame : Weekly
Period : between 2011 - 2012

I'm showing 2009, 2011-12 and 2016 year charts, why because this CARDAMOM futures effected with it's cause (vibration number) in any year and effects whether it is 2016 or 2017 or 2025..... and so on....that's the beauty of GANN. Vibration number will never change, but with that Vibration number, stock will react in any year in any price level whether it is 300-3000-30000.......

https://ibb.co/gHEDyv

Chart time frame : Weekly
Period : year of 2016

CARDAMOM effected with the cause (Gann Vibration Number) in 2016

https://ibb.co/is9fdv

Out of 12 Vibration low signals in the above chart on weekly time frame only once vibration low broken (01/08/16 week) and closed above that vibration low. So, theoritically any one maintain the stop on weekly closing basis of vibration low the position increased from 600 to 1480 level still growing. It means 880 points on that position and the entire year gives awesome addon entries into the CARDAMOM at Vibration low and breaking of the Vibration High. Who has the nerve of steel to run this position like GANN. That's the power of GANN VIBRATION NUMBER SYSTEM.


Here comes the real demonstration.....

And for the wow.....to readers i'm showing live feed captured 16th Jan'17 at 4.10 pm of CARDAMOM futures......today it was vibrated with it's vibration number low and made UPPER CIRCUIT.

https://ibb.co/djGRJv

On 17/1/17 Cardamom futures made a Vibration High of 1580 = 1+5+8+0 = 14 = 1+4 = 5 is the Vibration Number. See the below real data from exchange.

https://ibb.co/jaRtyv

Now see the price of Cardamom Futures in real time feed captured at 6.00 pm on 24/1/17. Declined 100 points from the high of (1580 = 1+5+8+0 = 14 = 1+4 = 5) GANN VIBRATION NUMBER using GANN VIBRATION SYSTEM from GANN ANALYSIS.

https://ibb.co/mSjfdv

"By knowing the exact vibration of each individual stock I am able to determine at what point each will receive support and at what point the greatest resistance is to be met." -W.D.Gann

I have demonstrated one commodity script from MCX Exchange and later I will post another stock from NSE or BSE.

With the GANN VIBRATION SYSTEM it is possible to get GANN VIBRATION NUMBERS using GANN ANALYSIS for any TRADING INSTRUMENT trading at NSE, BSE, MCX or even International Markets like DOW Jones

Finally, with this GANN VIBRATION SYSTEM you need only 1 or 2 numbers to trade Stocks, Futures, Commodities, Currency.., nothing else, but you need to do GANN RESEARCH & ANALYSIS.

self employment do you have to?

Good morning I have a tax query if you are trading pennies and I mean pennies on a micro account do you still have to register as self-employed as it would be unlikely to make any money or just pennies.I assume that if you do then the personal allowance would apply.I am retired.And I do this as a hobby and an intellectual exercise not to earn any money.Thanks any help will be gratefully accepted.
Mike.

Hi there Bitcoin is an online financial network that people use to send payments from one person to another. In many ways, its similar to conventional payment networks like Visa credit cards or Paypal. But its is different from those and other payment networks in two important ways. First, Bitcoin is decentralized. For-profit companies own the Visa and Paypal networks and manage them for the benefit of their respective shareholders. No one owns or controls the network. It has a peer-to-peer structure, with hundreds of computers all over the Internet working together to process Bitcoin transactions. Bitcoin’s decentralized architecture means that it is the world’s first completely open financial network. To create a new financial service in the conventional U.S. banking system, you need to partner with an existing bank and comply with a variety of complex rules. This network has no such restrictions. People don’t need anyone’s permission or assistance to create new Bitcoin-based financial services.The second thing that makes the Bitcoin unique is that it comes with its own currency. Paypal and Visa conduct transactions in conventional currencies such as the U.S. dollars. The Bitcoin, however, conducts transactions in a new monetary unit, also called Bitcoin. so you can buy btc credit card เมือง, Thailand

SGBY- A New Look Forward for Signal Bay Inc

Signal Bay Research provides advisory and consulting services to the Cannabis industry. After four states legalized recreational marijuana last year and twice that many approved new medical marijuana laws, at least eleven more are considering changing their laws in 2017.

While the need for testing is just emerging, Signal Bay Research has already brought together three labs across Oregon, and are planning for continued expansion in strategic locations in the Northwest and beyond.

Currently the stock has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -98.23. Signal Bay Inc. (SGBY)’s Williams %R presently stands at -90. Both indicators are showing signs of the sock being oversold. The symmetrical triangle shows a bullish breakout likely to occur soon.

Hi folks,

You know how it works... President Trump and the consequences.

As actions and decisions come in one by one, we can debate and discuss consequences. Good or bad, happy or sad, true or false, positive or negative for the USA???

Trading "Educator" SCAM ALERT

I know there is a great catch-all thread on this forum about boiler room scams, but couldn't see one about *potentially dodgy* trading "educators" ...so let's start one? :)

This morning on TipTv I saw a representative from TheOnlyWayIsForex - the business and CEO name (Hither Mann) caught my attention - although whatever they were selling certainly didn't light my fire.
  • Companies House webcheck service doesn't hold any UK director named "Hither Mann", ok so maybe she is a sole-trader?
  • According to Nominet UK the owner of the domain name theonlywayisforex.co.uk is hidden via a privacy protect company - surely a business with "a CEO" shouldn't need to hide who they really are?
    http://ift.tt/2j5tPNh
  • And a quick Google comes up with the following (which could be just clickbait or true, who knows);
    http://ift.tt/2jQyBSA
  • Lots of youtube videos with titles in FULL CAPS talking about getting RICH QUICK;
    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC40...w5xlVCeO7Wyinw

Anyway do your own research... or just go out and buy+read a decent trading book :)

...you gotta love the youtube video explaining why user comments are disabled... hmmmm

Dear Trade2Win participants,

I have few years of experience in trading including. First time would like to trade in UK and US markets.I live in UK. Searching through websites and forums, i have found the following for trading .

1. DeGiro - very less rates, but seems real time data need to subscribe per markets may be too costly regarding that.

2. IG markets - comprehensive ,but again per trading it will be around 8 to 10 pounds, unless u are a frequent trader their margins are good

3. CMC markets -- as usual
4. plus500 UK .. etc.,


I am thinking to go ahead with DeGiro because it has less commission rates. But, I would like to use a tool so that I can get all markets real-time feeds before placing orders.

So my requirement is :
1. get a tool/ software which will get all markets real-time feeds about stocks, future/options etc. . and analysis
2. use Degiro because of less commission rates etc.,

Are there any available for less price in the world .... !! I have gone through the some market feeds software but they are expensive.

Thank you in advance for your support.

best regards,
/Siva

differing capital gains 15/16 to 16/17 gaining the 8%

hi everyone and thank you for the forum

my question is that if i have a cgt in 15/16 but want to differ to 16/17 as the rates are lower and i also get another 11k.
one idea that was suggested to me on another post was to invest in an eis.
so questions below.

1. is there a time limit to holding the eis. could i buy it and sell it a week later and have the cgt differed. i know there are 3 year holding rules related to income tax relief but my question is for cgt rollover
2 would this work for residential property that althouth the rates in 16/17 are 18/28% if i use these funds in eis and then sell them would i get the 10/20% rates.
3 also if i have cgt from 14/15 could i buy eis this year short term say for a week to differ those gains to year 16/17 and then next year buy and sell an eis again to differ the cgt from 15/16. the reasons that i would not want to hold eis for too long is that they are very high risk and even the low risk ones are still considerably risky.
4 if i sold a house in 16/17 and made 44k profit so 11k would be free. could i then in the future 3 years buy a short term eis of 11k each year thereby reducing the cgt to nill as one has three years in which to reinvest the profits.

the reasons are from this year on i probably won't have that much capital gains anymore.
thank you

Richard Joyson aka Mr Charts

I accidently tripped over Richard Joyson aka Mr Charts on a thread titled, what happens when you try to time the markets found on Educational Resources.

I've seen it a million times before and this thread is no different.

Within the blink of an eye lid the discussion turns into a massive dick swinging contest.

But what does Mr Charts do?

Apparently he sells advice on timing the markets to poor pathetic little people who haven’t the imagination to get the information on Amazon or from the internet for FREE!

But how much does our friendly market timer Mr Chart charge?

According to one such former client on the web site TradingSimulaton.com the 1-2-1 private lesson you get

No actual live trading involved.
Lots of pattern recognition.
Fundamentals.
No buy or sell recommendations.

And all for the give away price of £1100, and oh, I nearly forgot to mention that according to Mr Charts web page the lesson will last “several solid hours”

Don’t know about you but I feel much better knowing that!

I showed our Nan the thread and she said...he couldn’t time an egg, let alone the markets.

Another success story RSJ

"As darkness fell on the Sydney skyline on New Year’s Eve, a 43-year-old Czech billionaire stood barefoot in a yellow polo top and black shorts, an arm extended out towards a party in progress just below his terrace.

With a crop of blond hair and a fresh rash of stubble, Karel Janecek does not look like a typical billionaire hedge fund manager in the post on his Twitter account. Indeed, little about the demeanour of the maths-genius-turned-financial-programmer would hint at the central role he has played in financial markets for more than a decade, in which RSJ, the firm he founded 23 years ago in Plzen, the home of pilsner beer, has become one of the biggest players.

Even in the Square Mile, RSJ is barely known, despite being one of the most influential firms in London financial markets. On a daily basis RSJ makes markets in thousands of financial products and is one of the leading, if not the biggest trader, of short sterling and long gilt futures contracts, meaning it has a crucial role in determining the price of products at the heart of the British financial system.

Even more extraordinary is just how quickly RSJ has gained such dominance. Within two years of placing its first derivatives trade on Liffe, now called ICE Futures Europe, in 2002 the firm became the biggest player on the exchange and 15 years on remains the one to beat, turning Mr Janecek into the Czech Republic’s first self-made billionaire.

Mr Janecek, who owns about 40 per cent of the company according to official documents, has made so much money from RSJ that he retired a couple of years ago to focus on pet projects, such as rooting out corruption in the Czech government and promoting his idea for “democracy 2.1”, which involves using computerised voting to make the electoral system more efficient.

Explaining his ambitions to students three years ago, he said: “People who are constrained by living expenses cannot do everything and I wanted to have full freedom to be able to decide what I wanted to do . . . and with the success, with the money, finally came the thought: ‘What is the most important thing to do next?’ ”

Three years ago, Bloomberg reported that the Prague-based business traded products worth a notional $106 trillion on an annual basis. To put that figure in context, each week this firm, employing about 30 traders, buys and sells contracts worth roughly the same as the annual output of Italy.

Despite its size, and there is a good case for arguing that RSJ is larger than American rivals such as Virtu, Citadel and Jump Trading, it is nearly six years since anything has been written about the firm in the mainstream press.

RSJ’s size has given it a direct hand in helping to shape the regulation of the markets it trades on. When in 2007 the then NYSE-Liffe proposed a new formula for allotting orders, RSJ lobbied against the move. The firm claimed to be responsible for one-in-ten trades on the exchange, giving it a considerable voice in its running.

On Eurex, the Deutsche Börse-owned derivatives exchange, Bronislav Kandrik, chief trader at RSJ and one of its ten shareholders, is a member of its council that meets to discuss how it is run. RSJ is thought to be one of the biggest traders on the Frankfurt-based exchange.

In a barren year for hedge funds, RSJ’s in-house proprietary algorithmic investment fund, the heart of its sophisticated high-frequency trading systems, made a return of more than 90 per cent.

We couldn’t get their books and records if we thought they did something untoward . . . I mean, they are from Czechoslovakia, they’re going to flip us the birdBart Chilton, US Commodity Futures Trading Commission
Whatever shocked the markets last year, RSJ’s money machine ploughed on regardless. Six days after the Brexit vote, RSJ Prop reported a net asset value per share of €791, up 5.5 per cent month-on-month, according to a filing with the Mauritius Stock Exchange, where the fund is listed. Donald Trump’s shock election victory had no impact and RSJ reported a net asset value of €1,096 per share at the end of November, a rise of 7 per cent on October.

In the three years since RSJ Prop shares were listed, the fund’s NAV has risen by 2,632 per cent. A spokesman for RSJ said that the three-year figure might overstate the performance because of changes in the number of underlying shares in the fund as investors withdrew money.

Even taking these withdrawals into account, the returns are astounding. To put RSJ’s performance in context, the average managed futures hedge fund lost its investors 1.5 per cent of their money last year, while macro funds eked out an average return of 1.2 per cent. Even Renaissance Technologies’s Medallion fund, regarded by many as the best algorithmic trader in the world, was on course to achieve a return of just over 20 per cent for 2016.

The size of the fund is not known and the spokesman for RSJ said that the firm did not provide information about its assets under management. However, with a minimum investment of $100,000 and a sophisticated understanding of financial markets a prerequisite to joining, this is a fund that excludes all but the wealthiest and savviest of investors.

Indeed, RSJ Prop’s performance is not monitored by any of the leading hedge fund index trackers, meaning it is unlikely that the fund attracts many investors outside the firm’s immediate circle of present and former staff.

Although it has generally flown below the radar of most market-watchers, RSJ’s success and influence have attracted criticism. Four years ago, Bart Chilton, then a commissioner of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the regulator that led the Libor-rigging investigation, warned how little the authorities knew about RSJ. “We couldn’t get their books and records if we thought they did something untoward . . . I mean, they are from Czechoslovakia [sic], they’re going to flip us the bird. They couldn’t care less what we want,” Mr Chilton said.

His concerns apply as much in the UK. Mr Janecek’s website boasts that RSJ, from which he has largely withdrawn from day-to-day business, is “the biggest trader on the London derivatives market”. However, the firm operates in the UK through its Czech financial passport, meaning that none of its staff have to be verified by the Bank of England or the Financial Conduct Authority.

This means in effect that a Prague-based firm, supervised by the Czech National Bank, is responsible for a signficant part of the market-making in the world’s three largest derivatives markets: Chicago, Frankfurt and London. This has upset small traders, who say they are being squeezed out by RSJ and other algorithmic traders.

Andrew Bailey, chief executive of the FCA, warned last year that algorithmic traders were “very important” and that the regulator would crack down on those who put their system to “inappropriate use”.

However, Megan Butler, the FCA’s director of supervision, admitted that no inspection had taken place of the computer code used by traders such as RSJ. Even if the FCA asked for such information, its staff would have no direct jurisdiction.

The extent of RSJ’s presence in Britain is its computers nestled as close as possible to the servers that run the world’s largest derivatives markets, a practice called co-location.

While some high-frequency traders have hired staff in the UK, and other big markets in which they operate, RSJ’s sole physical connection with London consists of expensive computers sitting in Basildon, the home of ICE Futures Europe’s data centre. Inside these servers are what RSJ describes as its “homemade” algorithms, built on models honed over 15 years that enable it to best even the world’s most sophisticated investors.

How RSJ achieves such incredible returns is a closely guarded secret. In common with other algorithmic traders, the firm jealously guards its trading models, but in pages now no longer on its website it explained the principle of how its mathematicians use advanced statistics and the law of large numbers to beat the market.

RSJ explained that its investment strategy came down to the same principle as betting on the toss of a coin. However, rather than odds of 50-50, RSJ’s “long-term observation” had achieved the financial market equivalent of discovering a 50.5 per cent bias in favour of tails.

Toss the coin again and again and this small advantage in their favour builds into an almost certain money-making scheme.

As the firm put it: “With each subsequent game, the probability of you making a profit will get higher. If you toss the coin 100 times, this probability will be approximately 54 per cent. If you toss the coin 1,000 times, this probability will rise to approximately 62 per cent.

“If you toss the coin 100,000 times, this probability will be approximately 99.9 per cent. There is, nevertheless, always risk. We may have got it wrong, the probability of the coin landing tails-up is lower than 50 per cent and we have lost our bet.”

In RSJ’s case, replace the toss of a coin with millions upon millions of “buy” and “sell” orders and the essence of its strategy is displayed. And it looks like the coin toss is very much in RSJ’s favour."

Stock Performance Confusion

Dear Community,


I'm currently trying to learn and teach myself fundamental analysis. It seems straightforward.

I was looking at the fundamentals for BAC Bank of America.

Looking at the valuation's page here: http://ift.tt/2jP7ftC

the quartely changes in stock performance first intrigued me and now really confuse me...


For example, it states " Bank Of America Corp's current Price to earnings ratio has increased due to shareprice growth of 57.92 %, from beginning of III. Quarter "

Though If you look at its actual stock values and make either Q/Q comparisons or Y/Y in stock price % change, then none of their values like the one stated are true. This doesn't make any sense so far. And all my attempts to pull up similiar results from other sites turned out to be non-existant.

It seems like their values are just random. Though I doubt that.

What am I missing here?
Can anyone tell me how they calculated those stock performance changes?

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Three Most Common Mistakes in Stock Trading -Exchange Traded Funds

Those who are trading the stock market for a long period of time know exactly how hard it can be to make consistent profit in stock trading. The novice traders fail to make money in stock trading since they trade the equities without having any strong trading basic in the market. But in order to trade the market profitably, you need to have a strong understanding of the stock market. Unlike forex market, the stock market is a little bit different. The price of certain stocks is more affected by political news event in the market. So if you want to develop your trading career based on the stock market then you should be well aware of the political major events since it might cause you significant amount of loss in the financial industry. The professional traders always stay on the sideline when the market condition is cloudy and they only execute their trade in the market when they get a clear signal in their trading platform. The number of successful stock traders in today’s world pretty less compared to other business since most of them only focus on their potential profit. They simply don’t realize the fact that proper education is extremely needed to trade the stock market. In this article, we will discuss some of the most common mistakes that every stock traders make in their trading career.

Use of too many indicators: Those who participate in the exchange traded funds often mess up their technical chart with too many indicators. They simply think that by using too many indicators in the chart will give them the best possible trade entries in the market. But if you truly want to become a profitable stock trader then you should learn the art of price action. The advanced trading platform offered by the reputed brokers gives allows the traders to do their technical analysis in the high-end chart. Indicators are always giving leading or lagging signals in the market. So if you trading the market with indicators then you will never be able to execute any trading orders with the real-time market dynamics. Those who are trading the stock market for a long period of time has developed their trading strategy based on raw price data. As a full-time, equities traders you can use one or two indicators abut make sure that you don’t mess up your trading chart. And never trade any trade in the market based on the indicators reading rather consider them as your trade filter.

Avoiding the fundamental news release: There is common practice in the stock traders that they use the technical analysis most of the time in exchange traded funds. But in order to take the best trade in the market, you need to focus on the technical and fundamental analysis of the market. If you don’t do the fundamental analysis then very often you will incur a loss in the financial industry. The professional traders always execute their trade in the market based on fundamental and technical analysis since they know both type analysis is extremely crucial for profitable trading. So if you are a new stock trader then you should learn the fundamental analysis section along with the technical analysis. It’s true that understanding the fundamental factors will seem a little bit different in the very begging but if you are committed to learning then you will eventually find that this is the best method of trading the stock market. As a professional trader, you must know that the fundamental analysis is the price driving catalyst in the forex market. During the event of the major news release, the long-term trend in the market often changes. So never avoid the fundamental news analysis in your stock trading.

Risking too much: This is one of the most common mistakes that every single trader makes in their early part of their trading career. But as an exchange traded funds trader you must trade the market with proper risk management factors. In stock, it’s very obvious that you will have some losing trades in the market. So in order to minimize your losses in the market, you need to trade with proper risk management factors. Most of the traders start their trading career with strict trading discipline but after incurring few losses in the market they simply forget their hard-earned discipline and start taking excessive risk. It’s true that by sometimes by taking excessive risk in the market you will recover your losing positions in the market. But you need to consider the long-term solution to this problem. In the eyes of trained professional perfect execution of money management plan is the only way to long term success in his industry. However, the money management factors don't necessarily mean that you won’t be able to risk more than 2% of trading capital in the market. Every single individual trader has their own risk tolerance level and based on that they should execute their orders in the market. And always make sure that you are not trading with the money that you can’t afford to lose.

Summary, Trading the financial assets in the global market requires pin perfect execution of the trading plan. As a full-time trader, you need to have a valid trading strategy and you should trade the stock market based on the technical and fundamental analysis. However in order to sustain the different market conditions you also need to follow proper risk management factors. If you incur few losses in the market don’t take excessive risk to recover your losses rather leave the trading station for that day. In the next day wait for a better trading opportunity and trade the market with an extreme level of discipline.

Video Podcast: Appreciation or Depreciation in 2017

This is one of the BEST economic collapse videos for 2017 (US & World) I’ve seen.
I know not everyone will agree, as the stock market is at an all time high and businesses are growing.

Unless the ISIS war expands, more developing countries collapse (Vens) or Trump actually does a trade war – this video may not be anything but entertainment.

I enjoyed watching it, and it does have some good economical points (although it doesn’t bring up the good parts of the economy and commodities.

After watching this I’d like to ask
1.What do you think is the biggest (realistically or hypothetically) risk to the economy in 2017?
2.What do you think is the biggest trend or outlook if the economy does well in 2017 (i.e corporate profits continue to rise, etc).
Anyways enjoy!

GSE / LOO Broker in the UK

Hi all,

This is my first post (to any forum) so forgive me if it's in the wrong place, etc.

I'm a total newbie to trading but have been using a demo account for 6 months with reasonable results.

I would like to know if there is a broker I can use from the UK who is appropriate for new traders but offers Guaranteed Stop Entry (GSE) orders, or Limit On Open (LOO) orders. Can anybody help?

I have an account with CMC but my best trades almost always fail as a result of slippage.

I've only just figured out that that was what was happening and all of the above terms are new to me. But I think that's what I'm looking for.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Good luck to all.

Am I understanding this right?

So I'm new to currency trading and right now I'm just messing about with a demo account on IQ Option.

I have ZERO experience in trading and I'm pretty bad at math, so not off to a great start, however I do have some common sense.

So right now on my demo account, I started out by looking at the financial times. I seen that an hour ago there was some news about the GBP slumping heavily. I checked the charts and low and behold it took an almighty all time 30 day low.

So I seen this as a good "common sense" move to put a "call" on the GBP moving up within the next week.

I know this is very basic and I know there's A LOT of other factors to consider, what with Brexit talks and news due to be released tomorrow it may have been an amateur move.

The question is, fundamentally and grasping the basic principles am I getting the overall concept right?

Surely with an all time low in 30 days it's only reasonable to presume that it will increase within the next week? Is that a safe trade? I know I can still lose but I'm trying to understand if my line of thinking/logic is correct or if it's flawed?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Also where's the very best place to start for a complete beginner who is terrible with math lol?

New to trading - Easy to use DEMO?

Hey T2W,

I'm pretty new to trading, I've got some experience with Plus500 and want to pick it up again. I, however, had some problems with the lack of options with plus500 and the inability to edit the interface as I please. It's therefor that I'm looking for something similair to plus500, including a demo to get started. I've looked at places like Ninjatrader, IG etcetera but couldn't really find something to my needs. It is therefor that I'm asking you for an easy-to-get-in trading platform. Is there something like plus500, but with some advanced options regarding the interface etcetera?

Looking forward to your replies,
also; any other information is always welcome. Trying to read up on all the newcomers-documents right now ^^

The best value anti virus software.

I have issues with my present software company called Reimage. When I run their scan it removes the clutter PLUS programmes that I want to keep. Well that's not acceptable. Although I have been in touch they are reluctant to do anything useful.
I have tried Avast and found that wanting too.

Can anyone suggest a good quality one that is not too expensive please ?

Interactive Brokers Reports

Hi all. I am fairly new to trading and have been dabbling mostly in forex with Interactive Brokers. I am currently trying to audit my personal trading journal to IB's reports. But so far I am becoming really confused.

From my limited understanding of MTM, it is just a different accounting method than Realized/Unrealized Profit/Loss. But shouldn't Realized + Unrealized = MTM at any given timeframe?

IB's Activity Report's MTM does not match Realized P/L (all closed) for trade categories. Nor does the Activity Report MTM match the Account Summary MTM.

Also at times, an individual trade's MTM(USD) / Proceeds (Cur) is no where near the cross-rate conversion. If needed, I can provide examples. Is there something I am missing? Any help is much appreciated!

I made a tool to show how historical events impact stock prices - thoughts?

Hi everyone, I'm new to these forums. I am a college student who has been interested in finance for a while now. Over the past few weeks, I have been working on a finance-related project.

The idea of the application is to allow you to view historical events surrounding a company to understand how they affected a company’s stock price. This includes (But is not limited to): earnings, press releases, major announcements, trial results, etc.

You can view the website at https://stockiq.io/.

I'm currently looking to implement some new features to the website so I would love to hear what suggestions you guys have. What would you guys like to see added to the website? What would be useful to see on this website that existing tools don't have? Thanks!

I have a new Alpari Demo Account,
Downloaded the MT4 from their site, installed it, and opened it using my Id and password,
loaded the pair currency chart I wanted to trade, everything seems OK,

Tried to buy a call Digital Binary option by clicking on "new Order" button on top menu,
but when the small window opens to order, I see other information like Buy limit, Stop limit, I want to order Digital Binary option, it suppose to show 1min, 2 min, 30 min, etc. expiry option to choose, not Stop limit, Buy limit,
is there anything I have done wrong here?

Hopefully someone from Alpari or anyone know about placing order of Digital Binary option on MT4 can help,
I am not sure if this a software issue, setting, or missing a plugin or what.

Thank you for your help

Margin and Leverage question

Hi there,
Could someone please explain to me how this works; If you I fund an account for US$4000, and the leverage is 1:100 i.e, 1%. When the free margin for open positions slips to less 50% of 1%, the highest open position will be stopped out until the free increases to 50% of 1%. Could someone explain to me in layman terms how that works please and how much margin would be needed with an open trade?


Also, say I fund an ac for US$4000, for 1:300% leverage i.e.0.33%, is that right? When the free margin for open positions slips to less 100% of 0.33%, the highest open position will be stopped out until the free margin increases to 100% of 0.33%.. Could someone please tell me how that works?

Thank you.

STIRS - 3m Euribor & Sterling Fixes

Hello all,

I've been trading STIRs for a couple of years now and I'm looking to gain an insight into why there is a continuous trend in down 3m fixes for both Euribor and Sterling?

Any explanations would be helpful!

Also, is there any other traders out there trading short sterling or something similar e.g. Swiss, Euribor, etc. If so, is there any trading chatrooms that you guys use? I've tried to access Prop-boards but the link doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Cheers

Cognitive computing investment systems

Does anyone have experience with the new cognitive computing investment systems?

The promise is interesting; being able to select better investments on the basis of learned experience, with more of a hard data scientific approach. Not really A.I. as I understand it- but learning based on experience. Say a computer has made a million different investments, and learned a bunch from it.

One of the candidates is http://ift.tt/2jGKXgQ - another somewhat simpler one is the magic formula, which has been discussed more widely before. Though it is not quite the same, I believe.

A friend suggested it, and so far he is happy. But we all know the markets have been in a generous mood as of late :), and I am kind of wondering about the longer term?

I'm back. Watch this space for something particularly interesting!


Trader Formerly Known as China Diapers...

Let us track GOLD.

Gold and silver, spot. Time to make a deal.
Long term view.
Click the image to open in full size.
Chart shows full wave up since 2000 year. We have marked it as wave 1. Wave has ended, and correction - wave 2, has started. Right from this chart we can cay, that wave 2 will be zigzag A-B-C, and its final wave "C" is a good opportunity to SELL. But wave "B" is not over yet. Let us mark probable target for wave 2 end - it is the nearest fractal down - end of wave 4 of wave 1, below 700 USD. Good length ! By the way this gold fall means deep and hard deflation.
Medium term view.
Click the image to open in full size.
First wave A down and start of wave B. Magic wave A. Look !
Wave 1 - simple impulse, wave 2 - expanded flat correction a-b-c, which wave "a" is an expanded flat correction too(sic!). Wave 3 - the strongest wave among 1-3-5. But look, wave 4 - triangle, right after wave 4 starts wave 5(hmmm ! why after wave 4 should, every time, be wave 5?) and this wave 5 is a triangle too ! But what a triangle - the ending one ! Wave 5 is an ending triangle ! Beauty ! You can see more beautiful picture in our sugar article, we call it "Triangles realm". All triangles have a magic property to attract future price moves. Correction triangles(like in wave 4) attract moves to its end(wave e), ending triangles attract price to its start, that in our case means to wave 4 end ! Double gravity force ! This force has already pulled the first part of wave B - wave "a" of wave B. There is a deep fall after wave "a" top(wave "b"), so the next final wave "c" of wave B should be pulled onto magic level of wave 4 end again. We add the usual - wave B is zigzag(because its wave "a" has 5 waves), final wave "c" of zigzags tries to exceed the end of wave "a", usually wave "c" goes very long beyond the wave "a" end.
We should BUY and ride upon the wave "c".
First question. We are in wave B, wave B consists of a-b-c, wave "a" up we have already seen. So is wave "b" over ? Let us look at short term.
Click the image to open in full size.
Nndaa ! Is "this" called "over" ? Anyone has something to say ?
And here the silver comes to help. Silver and gold run in concordance, their form can be slightly different, sometimes more, than slightly, but main waves ends are the same in time. Or very close one to another.
Silver, the same wave B up, wave "b" of wave B. The same question: "Is wave "b" over ?"
Click the image to open in full size.
See ? Two triangles at once ! Triangle in any correction wave means - wave after this triangle is a final part of the move, so the whole wave after wave "b"(dark red label) is a final wave. But what a wave it is ? It is an ending triangle. Double evidence - wave "b" of wave B is over, and wave "c" is already running. Remark gold.
Click the image to open in full size.
Now it is better and in accordance with silver. We should search for a good place to BUY gold or silver or both. More detailed article is at our page. Tracking further.

2017 Economic Prediction/Discussion

Hey Guys,

I'm new to this forum.

I strongly believe unless the "War on Terror", escalates the stock market will continue to rise in 2017. I do not see corporate profits falling and the dollar falling to much in 2017.

What do you think about the video below? I like the 3rd reason but besides that I think my economic view is correct, as it was in 2016.

I also, do not think Trump will change the foreign policy to much which would cause some disruptions.

Anyways here is the video:

Backtesting issues

Hi all

Hoping you could help me :) (excuse the length)

I plan to manually backtest a trading strategy on a number of different stock charts, doing this one chart at a time. So for example, I'd scroll back to a certain date on an individual stock chart and scroll through each bar, taking signals and making trades as I would usually. I will start with a realistic amount of capital and use the same money management and risk rules I use in live trading/forward testing. At the end, I will take note of whether or not I made or lost money, by what percentage my capital increased/decreased, winning/losing streaks, biggest drawdowns, etc. I will go through this process with as many individual stocks as I can, and each test will be done over a 10 year period with the same start and end dates each time.

However I have a number of concerns/questions about this approach.

Backtesting individual stocks at a time means I can only be in one position in one stock at a time, but in live trading I will be in multiple positions in multiple stocks. Trading in real life therefore increases the number of false signals/losses I can take in a row, as well as my potential max drawdown. I'm having difficulty understanding how testing a strategy on individual stock charts one at a time, can accurately reflect the same results as live trading multiple stocks at at time, as there will be a lot more trades (and possible losing streaks) in live trading.

Or am I viewing it wrong? Should I be looking at each test on an individual stock chart as a scaled down version of what it would be like to run the system with a full portfolio (multiple positions in multiple stocks at a time) and expect a similar distribution of wins/losses, win ratio, drawdowns, profits, etc, over each individual backtest of a stock, only on a smaller scale with less trades?

Another concern is that backtesting a span of 10 years on a separate stock chart isn't an accurate reflection of the money I'd make/lose after 10 years of trading the strategy as its only one stock, and the number of trades I take during the backtest will significantly lower that it would in 10 years of actual trading?

I feel like I may be taking backtesting too literally and expecting exact reflections of my actual trading with it, when it is not possible. Is the point just to prove a strategy has a positive expectancy before you starting trading in it in live markets? Even if this is the idea, I still fail to understand how I could get any accurate reflection of the how the strategy will perform in real life on a portfolio of stocks, by only testing one stock at a time... especially with regard to testing the potential max drawdown encountered.

As you can see I am quite confused about this and can't seem to find any resource that explicitly addresses this issue. If anyone has any insight, or can send me any resources that address this, that would be great.

Thanks again

Solid ECN Broker Comparisons

I have a high volume scalping EA and am reviewing some ecn brokers accounts to choose the best one for me.

I am comparing the Yadix ECN account and the IC Markets ECN account as my two favourite accounts to compare, both are offering spreads from zero pips on EUR/USD, IC markets has EUR/USD from 0 pips and Yadix has several more pairs with zero pips, Yadix Gold and Oil spreads are excellent and the indices are very low too. Both accounts have teh same low ecn commissions.

My next comparison is execution and slippage, with Yadix I am being executed on a small test account anywhere between 7ms - 20 ms and some low level slippage, positive and negative which is a good sign for true direct to market execution.

I never tested IC markets yet, can anyone advise on slippage and execution speeds before I invest the minimum to try?

Consistent EA?

Are there any EAs that offer long term consistency in regards to trading results and controlled drawdown?

I am testing one for the past 4 months and am very excited with results, but an also conscious that an ea cannot read or identify upcoming events that can blow accounts!

Any input from anyone with experience?

Asian equities retreat as investors shift to cautious mode


Click the image to open in full size.


After a strong start for the year, equity markets started to cool down in the second trading week of 2017. Most Asian major indices are in red today, as Wall Street failed to make new highs and the Dow retreated further from the key psychological 20,000 mark, while oil suffered a steep selloff on Monday.

Investors who built their positions based on Trump’s victory are likely to start cashing out for the time being and shift their focus on fundamentals with the earning season kicking off later this week when U.S. big banks release their fourth quarter results. I’m not confident to call a correction yet, but certainly many investors got ahead of themselves betting on fiscal stimulus, and while business usually tends to under promise and over deliver, this doesn’t seem to be the case with the U.S. new President.

Although Kuwait’s Oil Minister Essam Al-Marzouk who is chairing the committee to oversee compliance of OPEC’s output assured the markets that OPEC and non-OPEC members will abide to the planned cuts, still both oil benchmarks dropped 4% on Monday. This clearly indicates that it’s not just an OPEC game, and the expected increase in U.S. and Canadian supplies are likely to threaten the oil rally. Data from the U.S. on Friday showed rig counts rose for ten consecutive weeks and it’s just about some time for this to translate into additional production, suggesting that downside risk may remain in play, and rather than just focusing on implementations of OPEC production cuts, investors should be looking at the bigger picture on whether supply will meet demand in the second half of 2017.

The U.S. dollar fell for a second day, extending its slide from the 14-year high hit on January 3. The pull back in the dollar came despite hawkish speeches from Fed officials suggesting that the central bank is getting closer to achieving its dual mandate. Both Fed presidents, Charles Evans and Patrick Harker aren’t ruling out three rate hikes in 2017, while Eric Rosengren called for stepping up the pace of interest rates hikes to prevent inflation from overshooting. However, traders are still not yet completely convinced and pricing in only two hikes for 2017 according to CME’s Fed Watch. With no tier one economic data on the calendar until Friday, U.S. bond yields will remain to be the key driver for the greenback.

The Pound remained under pressure after Monday’s steep selloff on comments from UK’s Prime Minister Theresa May which intensified fears of “Hard Brexit”. Although the pound looks undervalued, the risk of further selloff may remain in play as we get closer to triggering article 50. Meanwhile comments from Scotland’s First Minister on BBC that she’s not bluffing about her vow to hold a second referendum on Scottish independence if Britain leaves the single market is another factor to worry about on the medium-term.

Let us track Apple Inc.

So, Apple Incorporated. We shall track it here for some time, because we shall not get bored, looking at AAPL.
So, what will wait us in the future ? Everyone could say here:"Future is unpredictable and not available for the mortals". Yes. Let us take a look.
Click the image to open in full size.
What do we see here ? Long high move up, with beginning - wave 1, the middle - wave 3 and the end - wave 5. Note, how nicely wave 4 divides all move into the golden ratio - the lowest is 0.382 of the whole move and the highest is 0.618 of the whole move. Even this chart is enough to say:"The move up since early 2000 is over". There will not be Apple's rise beyond its present top in the near future. Why ? Because five waves - 1-2-3-4-5 put together complete wave, wave up is over, now move down is unfolding. Right now we can say the target for Apple's fall - first big stop down, it is the end of wave 4. Price may reach this level, may stops above it, may overshoot it shortly, all variants are valid, we shall say more precisely later, when the next fall will start.
Now next chart.
Click the image to open in full size.
First move down - the same five waves. Wave 1 - the beginning, its correction - wave 2(expanded flat), decisive wave 3 - the middle, its correction - wave 4, and final thrust down - wave 5. These five waves compose first step down, marked with "A". Every step needs a rest, after every drop follows arise, and now Apple is rising. This arise is just a break before the next drop and we can place a good SELL position at the end of this break.
Now move up - the break after fall.It consists of three waves as every correction does - waves a-b-c(blue labels), but this form is called expanded flat correction. Look - first wave "a" has three waves, then goes wave b with the same three waves form and now runs wave c up. The same view has wave 2 in first move down. Note, how wave "b" falls beyond the start of wave "a", forming expanded flat surface. Wave "c" in expanded flat corrections tries to exceed wave "a" end, so will do currently running wave "c" up. Currently unfolding wave "c" will try to go beyond wave "a" end - above 123.82 or so. The end of wave "c" will be a good place to open SELL position on AAPL shares with a very low price target. Let us look at wave "c".
The same chart above, wave "c" is a final wave of wave "B"(blue labels), subwaves are marked with green. Wave "c" is a usual, clearly visible five waves impulse as it should be in flat corrections. We see wave 1 as a start, wave 3 as a middle and perhaps we can already see wave 5 - the last wave of wave "c". Note, we can divide wave 3 into subwaves, because it is the strongest part of wave "c". So, we shall track wave 5 of wave "c" to open a good SELL position. Follow our updates here.
