I don’t even think anymore 5$ trillions are daily in this stuff. Looks like in this game only retail traders money are and they hunt for it. Whichever the direction, someone really move the price with complete control. SCAM
Edit: I’m talking about H4, D1 charts. To see how far it goes.
There are plenty that do this for a living , I think you maybe over thinking the situation. Once you can get in sync with the markets charting and money management becomes 2nd nature
Its not a scam, its just price action. On the week so far I see 17 of 28 forex pairs plus Gold have moved in line with their trends as on the daily chart - that’s a 60% hit rate, happy with that.
Why don’t I short? Hmm in the past I was a jinx for bear moves. The minute I’d short it would turn around.
In hindsight that was just being a poor beginning trader, but those early trades leave a mark on you.
Also I’m just not good at flipping from one side of the market to the other.
But last week (wednesday I think) on the Dow I couldn’t resist the one day reversal, what with the total shut down of China, gold exploding higher, I had to channel my inner Jesse Livermore.
