Quote

Futures prices tend to positively correlate with the positions of non-commercial traders. When non-commercial traders are long in a commodity, then that is usually a strong bullish signal. If non-commercial traders have a substantial number of short positions in a commodity, it can be inferred that this group of investors believes the price of the underlying asset is going to decrease. Over time, the non-commercial traders have been right as well as incredibly responsive to market signals when they are wrong.

I liked this interview and there is definitely something to what he is saying, I know 4 or 5 traders who have given up on technical analysis and moved to quant analysis.

Also liked the end when wandered off topic to say his quant analysis had pick up an uptick in Japanese industry and signals of cyclical recovery.

The 12 worst indicators to use on Forex. Was reminded of this video by recent discussions on the forum. Very interesting concepts and some explanations as to why many well known indicators just don't work.

Also added at the bottom is  the link to his Vid list, I remember the one on big banks was well worth a view as well.

Haven't had a chance to see it yet but the RSI certainly does correspond well with what you see going on in the price movements, at least sometimes.  I like it precisely because it generates far fewer signals and is less noisy.  The MACD for me is visually hideous and unbearably noisy and unreliable, stochs are too complicated and all the rest is just 'pish'.  But if someone finds them useful then it's great.

Interesting short video from Tradeciety looking at different win rate and risk/reward combinations and how to match them to your own personality and trading style.

"Trend retracement or reversal? – Can volume be a useful “clue”?"

Short article on volume analysis;

This is a useful little tip on timing pullback entries and shows how you can spot when a pullback is profit taking (by the bulls in this case) and not a serious attempt at a reversal by the bears. A case of waiting for the bears to obviously fail before looking to enter.

not sure what you are trying to say, you may have heard this from me before though, indicators are just a guide but price action on appropriate chart structure is real so learn chart structure. on the chart above there is down trend and then consolidation, another down leg and then consolidation, a break to the upside then consolidation followed by a break up and lastly a reversal bar. There aren't any pullbacks on this chart.

Learn chart structure.

Sometime you just get taken by surprise by sudden reversals

Heck, I've got a plan after all.

I'm going to sell everything I have and go to Vegas - bet it all on the throw of the dice.

But before I throw the dice I'll ask (pay) the prettiest lady in the room to kiss my dice for good luck.

This is good, you always need a few simple rules that will increase the outcome probability of every one of your entry setups, even breakouts.

My breakout trading strategy: 1. Only use horizontal levels 2. Only use levels that show weakness: multiple consecutive tests 3. Only trade the breakout when you see a consolidation before the breakout or a pullback after the breakout, or both 4. Don't overcomplicate things.
