What topics would you like to see discussed through educational videos?

[PipMeHappy]

Thank you Markaria, i will try!!

[PipMeHappy]

I’d like to see videos on:

• The trading state of mind and best practices.
• Something around fundamental analysis related to non-economic events. Things like what kind of weight terrorism and the upcoming US presidential election have had on the markets and what to look for/avoid in those situations.
• How to effectively implement a trailing stop/reversal. When to use it, how to get software like metatrader to execute it with a minimum of fuss.
• I did see your comment on scalping. Perhaps you could venture into the learning and do videos documenting what you have learned, giving your opinion of the methods based on how you currently trade? Sort of a compare/contrast.

These are just things I’d like to see, I have no idea if you already have videos on these topics. I have the time today to do some learning so I’m going to go see if I can’t find your videos and check them out.

It is done:

Hi PMH,
How about a series of short videos explaining some of those topics that continually get brought up by newbies?
I’m thinking of chart reading, making a trading plan, using popular indicators, why newbies should avoid news, etc

I hope so…

I made now forty-six videos,

covering a variety of topics, including:

• Fibonacci levels;
• indicators;
• volume;
• position trading vs. short-term trading;
• a number of currency pairs (some of the Majors plus a few crosses);
• central banks’ rate decisions;
• making a trading plan;
• politics impacting on price/currencies;
• long-term cycles and historic charts.

More to come, though

Well, there cannot be much of a burning thirst for such educational videos,

as the video so far only got eleven views!

What will happen is that the Forextown thread with the link to it

will get swallowed up by the many new threads and it will disappear

to the bottom of the pile…

I guess there is no way to pin it to the top, like a sticky, so I will have

to manually bump up that particular thread for a while to make sure

that enough people get to see it…

I also tried to post the same thread on Newbie Island but it was deleted,

perhaps it breached some kind of rule about thread duplication… So if

newbies only go to Newbie Island, they will miss the Forextown posts -

it was my fault for not posting it on Newbie Island in the first place.

My new
FreeFX video, no.2 in the Beginner Series:

‘Reading Charts: art or science?’.

[PipMeHappy]

Hello traders!

I have made a third video now, called “Popular Indicators”,

based on Eddie’s suggestion:

In this video I explore trading indicators and their possible uses: oscillators, Fibonacci, moving averages, ATR, and more.

Please take a look and leave comments!

Thank you

Hey PipMeHappy

first time poster here, i like your interesting content on this forum.
I tried to watch the video about volume, that you mentioned in the quoted post, but couldnt find it on your youtube channel. Did i somehow miss it or does it have another name ?

Hello blubb, and thank you for watching!

I talk about volume in several of my videos, but here is an example,

between 16’44’’ and 20’55’’ of this video

You can also find forum member Emeraldorc

discussing trading with volume here:

The thread where he and I (and others) discuss volume

regularly is this:

http://forums.babypips.com/forextown/66260-brief-share-questions-around-volume-any-contribution-welcome.html

Enjoy and come back with questions - if you have any questions about volume,

please post them on that thread, as it keeps it all neatly in one place

[blubb]

Thank you for that detailed answer.
I will come back after watching/reading

I like to know hedging with multi pairs if its possible You are great guy Thank you and appreciate what you write and do

Hello Markaria and everyone!

I have followed this suggestion and have made a video on this topic:

[emeraldorc]

Well there is definitely a lack of knowledge around Options trading, so more stuff on that is helpful. I am talking real Options here. Also, correlations a key part of statistical arbitrage is dead and there is hardly anything on market profile.

Thanks Emerald!

I already made a video on correlatuons last year and I know nothing about options…

By market profiling, do you mean order flow? You would need level 2 charts for that, which I do not have…

Any other suggestions?

Thank you

Thank you for pointing that out, Dr. Lexy!

I suppose that price-volume profiling could be

done with currency futures

I want to make my fiftieth video a special one,

so any suggestions are welcome.

I am talking here about CBOT’s for futures.

It certainly does. Used more in futures agreed but Cable, AUD, NZD and all the majors have futures. Secondly, MP is an organisation of distribution so if the asset has a price and distributes, then MP will create a graphic. The purpose here is determine value by taking the mathematical bell curve theory. It is again the lack of imagination from most traders and also if you trade futures, why trade spot? Spot is still largely retail trader territory. Since I wanted the cheaper way to trade, in that I mean avoiding maintenance margins and using my own UK brokers rather than US. I decided on Spot and Options, MP works fine on both. So it is not exclusive to futures but widely used in that arena.

If you don’t try you never know
