Are you looking for trade signals?


Recommended Posts

An old tinker once gave me some good advice, “Always take a thief over a liar, with a thief you know where you stand, with a liar you never know anything”.

 

Perhaps the title should be ‘should you take trade signals from a forum?’ After all there are plenty of professional trade signals firms with good reputations and published track records, IG offers two such for free.

 

Where are you more likely to find a coin flipping gambler? On a forum or in a professional firm. The coin flippers are easy to spot, they shout ‘I won 100’ then mutter, sure I lost some, I lost a bit. The winners are stated precisely while the losers are never really quantified, easier to push them to the back of the brain and forget them then, after all it’s the winning that counts isn’t it.

 

You may find posters on a forum who have more experience than others who may offer advice and discussion that you can take or leave but if you are looking for signals look elsewhere, if they are of a professional standard they wont be on here (except for our good friends from PIA-FIRST of course).

Traders should be wary of signals and analysis on forums, especially those provided on a broker's forum.Some of these signals can be good ,others can be poor.The truly professional trader is not going to give signals, he will be making money and wasting his time.

This forum is going to the pitts  with signals like these.

Plenty of examples can be found on forums, where traders lose money due to the opinions of others .This is why Casey has been challenged to post  to trades in advance, he is reluctant to do so , because most of his analysis fails.

Most traders would not have the confidence to use the signals of others.

Somewhat deceitful to leave out the second part of my call that went on a 240 pip run don't you think? So the false break out the top lost a few, so what. I knew the range was important and said so, and so a break either up or down was also going to be important and it was.

 

Plenty of examples of people losing money due to others, that's true, but what about all those famous forum legends who make the right calls all the time, who are they now, ... Oh wait, there aren't any. Sure you get some high risk gamblers who make lots quick but always end up giving it all back when the market changes as it always will.

 

Loud boastful coin flippers like yourself can only show snippets of results to back their claims because the results over a long period of time would explain why they still have a piddling account after 10 years of trying.

I am somewhat deceitful to leave out the first part of my call that went on a 13280 long call that is losing 350 ticks at present,  don't you think?

 

You also forget the Dax Signal that went 700 ticks in the opposite direction to your call.

I can only repeat my view about this community. It is NOT a trade calling service, if people want my calls I will give you my PayPal a/c details and you can send me your subscription payments -  HaHa  . This is just a site for ideas, thoughts , identifying problems and problem solutions and such like. PLEASE keep it friendly

I found coin flipping only works about 50% of the time, same as you. So I prefer to watch the charts, get a feel for the rhythm and then take opportunities as they present themselves. Take a look at the dax chart for instance, price is at a key juncture and is as yet undecided.

The weekend gap got filled but the 12742 is a key confluence level, who ever takes control of that (bulls or bears) will set the pace for the next few days.

50 /50 coin toss has more chance of success than your signals, that is why you can't call in advance, you have no confidence in your own technical analysis.

 

If your t/a was 55% right  and 45 % wrong , you have an edge.

As opposed to your daily morning coin flip I have to wait for a set up to materialise on the chart before any entry, that's how most people trade. I appreciate that you have tried this and failed and that is why you went in search of a holy grail 'system' that has lead you to the coin flipping technique. Now you are desperate to convince anyone who is naive enough to listen (including yourself) it actually works. Providing a continuous record over a reasonable period of time is the usual way but of course you can't do that because, a)  you keep changing it every week and b) you know what the results would be. Which is why you keep changing it every week.

    • The "best" percentage of your investment portfolio to allocate to cryptocurrencies depends on your individual financial situation, risk tolerance, investment goals, and time horizon. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as what's appropriate for one person may not be suitable for another. Here are some considerations to help you determine the right percentage for your situation: Risk Tolerance: Cryptocurrencies are known for their price volatility. Consider how comfortable you are with the possibility of significant price fluctuations. Generally, if you have a lower risk tolerance, you may allocate a smaller percentage to cryptocurrencies. Financial Goals: Your investment goals play a crucial role in determining your crypto allocation. Are you investing for short-term gains, long-term growth, or a specific financial milestone (e.g., retirement)? The time horizon for your goals can influence your crypto allocation. Diversification: Diversification is a risk management strategy that involves spreading your investments across different asset classes. Diversifying your portfolio can help reduce risk. Experts often recommend not putting all your funds into a single investment, including cryptocurrencies. The specific percentage you allocate to crypto should consider the diversity of your overall portfolio. Knowledge and Research: Your understanding of cryptocurrencies matters. If you're well-versed in the crypto space and have confidence in your ability to evaluate and manage crypto investments, you might allocate a higher percentage. However, if you're new to cryptocurrencies, it's wise to start with a smaller allocation until you gain more experience. Financial Situation: Consider your current financial situation, including your income, expenses, and existing investments. Ensure that you have an emergency fund and meet your other financial obligations before allocating a significant portion to cryptocurrencies. Regulatory and Tax Considerations: Be aware of the regulatory and tax implications of cryptocurrency investments in your jurisdiction. Tax laws regarding cryptocurrencies can vary significantly, and it's essential to comply with them. Asset Allocation Strategy: Many financial experts recommend following a structured asset allocation strategy based on your risk tolerance and investment goals. This strategy might suggest a certain percentage for different asset classes, including stocks, bonds, real estate, and cryptocurrencies. Regular Review: Periodically review and rebalance your portfolio to ensure it aligns with your goals and risk tolerance. Cryptocurrency prices can change rapidly, so your allocation may need adjustments over time. Ultimately, there is no universally "best" percentage to invest in cryptocurrencies. It's a highly individual decision that should be made based on your unique circumstances and objectives. It's also important to conduct thorough research and consider seeking advice from a financial advisor or investment professional before making any significant changes to your investment portfolio.
