    ICT Style nightly review

    I may have agreed that it was delusional the first 3 or 4 years, but here we are, several thousand trades beyond that. A lot of theories get kicked around in this business, and since we're on the outside looking in, few are provable, so I'm left to my own empirical evidence. I've chosen to...

    ICT Style nightly review

    Nicely stated. Currency is all about flow. I have to ask myself every morning, "Where's the current in this river of money?" I'm surprised that so many here trust the market maker charts on MT4. There are more than a few instances where my broker disguised the true market structure with...

    What Effect Could a Negative Interest Rate Have Over an Economy?

    A negative interest rate will force patient money to get off the sidelines. It's a 4th quarter Hail Mary pass, and one of the last arrows in the quiver of central planners...er, um...I mean bankers. Macroeconomically, they hope that negative interest rates will increase the money supply but as...

    Straight Line Trader

    It was a nice ride. I got off the train at the 80 mark. Still working on patience.

    Trading conventions and expos

    We need a grassroots underground venue like the hackers have created. Where we can take over the back room in a coffee shop or some underground club and crowd source strategies and test real time trades for a few days. Just show up with your laptop(s) and whatever other lucky charms you can...

    Surprise Huge Move In Swiss Franc From Switzerland Central Bank

    LOL. When I first got in this game, I quickly realized the broker education was actually customer assimilation followed by annihilation. "Please place your money at these fib levels and we'll take out your stops up here. For those of you too dumb to put your money at the right fib levels...

    Surprise Huge Move In Swiss Franc From Switzerland Central Bank

    The "Big Picture" is a statement of how desperate and cut-throat the industry has become. Why else would you advertise the ability to open an account for "only $1"? This is blatant bottom-feeding. They know the more underfunded we are, the better their probabilities for tapping into...

    Trades "worth" the extra risk.

    Good stuff, thanks for sharing. I am of the opinion that I must be as dynamic as the market conditions. I assume different risk levels once daily/weekly/monthly profit targets have been met. If i'm at my targets or negative for the time period, then risk remains constant until it falls...

    ICT Forexmas 2014 / Market Maker Series

    Smh. Armies of high paid financiers are staring down at us from the tallest towers in every city, and this is our collective strategy? To tear each other apart in this way? "Haters gone hate". To the rest of us, lets just keep focused on the task at hand. $5 trillion is bouncing around out...

    Trading conventions and expos

    I'm already convinced I shouldn't do it. I'm asking for perspective here. Can anyone spin this the other way and produce a reason anyone should go to these?

    Trading conventions and expos

    In my former career, I've been to a lot of trade shows and I've also spoken at many. I was able to pick up a lot of insider industry information but all in all, none of that information became a "game changer" for my career. I was just able to save the company a few bucks here and there. So...

    The Secret of the worlds gold

    Ft. Knox was too risky. We had to hide it in plain sight, all over the country.

    Who's Who

    My prayers are with you and your family Michael. I can only imagine what it must be like dealing with us, then the copy cat plagiarizers, and worst of all...lurking, posting and trolling amongst us...the brokers, working vigilantly to keep the waters nice and muddy. When the posts become...

    ICT Forexmas 2014 / Market Maker Series

    My confidence comes from the live trades I've placed since implementing a few ICT concepts in combination with my own parameters. I'm one of those people that doesn't function well with a demo account. Its gotta be real cash on the line or my war psychology won't be the same. Some can play by...

    ICT Forexmas 2014 / Market Maker Series

    Mike, you have me reviewing my charts from last year and feeling like a moron for not seeing the COT and USDX correlations for all the pairs I traded. Then I went back and overlaid the 10 year bond yield curves and I could see a LOT of missed opportunity. The last vid on institutional stop...
