Axia Futures; Execution on the price ladder. http://www.newtraderu.com/2015/02/19/10-great-technical-trading-rules/ Only price pays. In trading, emotions and egos are expensive collaborators. Our goal as traders is to capture price moves inside our time frame, while limiting our drawdowns in capital. The longer I have traded, the more I have become an advocate of price action. Moving away from the perils of opinions and predictions has improved my mental well-being, and my bottom line.

Hi @JamesIG Yes the Forum page on fluid mode is closer to how I used the old platform where I just went straight to the bottom of the page to 'see all', I have also found that function in the Activity page > All Activity. I recognise that as the community gets more users that would become overloaded so this looks more future proof, just need to play around to find out how things work (still haven't figured out how to add a picture yet).

Like all new things will take a bit of getting used to no doubt and presumably it's a work in progress (as they found at 3i), you mention screenshots but I can't figure out the 'insert other media' functions yet. I also can't get this cursor to move to the other side of this tag when trying to edit this on the fly. @247trader

The EU continues it's creeping takeover of all things and all people. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-15/the-eu-is-emerging-as-the-new-sheriff-for-global-financial-markets

Looks good but this is hard work, it is not at all intuitive and it doesn't flow. Clearly the same format as the 3i upgrade that the recent interlopes were complaining about. I like the hover over and read message and answers but other things such as the search function just don't work. It doesn't matter if you click 'any' or 'all' (of 'my search term words') you just get back results of anything containing the words 'and', 'in', 'old', 'with'. The old search understood phrases, not just words.

30 min CNBC television interview with Paul Tudor Jones recorded yesterday, discusses today's fomc mtg and much more. https://www.cnbc.com/video/2018/06/12/watch-cnbcs-full-interview-with-paul-tudor-jones.html

Actually, running away might not be an option at all, even the Americans are worried about 'long arm of MiFD II'. https://www.bloomberg.com/professional/blog/mifid-ii-will-far-reaching-consequences/

The EU are authoritarian and heading further to the left all the time which is why 17 million voted to leave but they are not going to make it easy. The new rules are to save us from ourselves which is always the excuse they use to take power away from people. There are only two things you can do, either get used to trading in smaller size or find a broker outside FCA, EU jurisdiction but that comes with added risk of it's own. The 2 places arousing most interest are Australia and Cyprus, Cyprus just staged a major expo https://www.ifxexpo.com/ which included IG as an exhibitor but their regulation has had serious issues in the past. Australia seems better regulated but you are going to be a long way away from your money.

That's right, the high just before the crash, it has taken a long while. I was looking at the monthly chart and admiring that near vertical climb between 2003 and 2007.

, any chance of AUS200 breaking 6160 any time soon? Then it's a clear run to the all time high of 6860 from 2007.

Hi , sounds like you may be referring to Level II market data which IG provides with it's DMA platform. For a fairly comprehensive article on L II see here; https://www.sharesmagazine.co.uk/article/the-ultimate-guide-to-level-2 Link to info on IG's L II see here; https://www.ig.com/uk/l2-trading-platform

It is just another trade, you open it in November and close it in May. Over the last 18 years 14 were winners (78%) and 4 were stopped out (22%). You never actually read the post did you. This happens often, you jump in to critique without actually reading the play, this inevitably leads to ongoing confusion as the points you raise don't have any reference or bearing on what has actually been put forward. No one said it had to be your only trade of the year, that doesn't even make sense. Any strategy could have 2 losers in a row, so what. It is a trade not an investment, it doesn't pay dividends through the year, a profit is realised when the trade is closed. Many traders hold trades open for months at a time. None of the points in your last post have any meaning or relevance to the actual strategy.

That last post doesn't make any sense either. The strategy is successful. The proof is in front of you. One trade lasting 6 months, taken every year, for 18 years results in 14 wins and 4 losers (this obviously includes the crash 2007, 2008). What is there not to understand about this.

This last post does not make any sense, please try again in English or use the Google translation function.

6 months is not investing, 10 years is investing. Warren Buffet would be laughing at you.

Err ... yes, that's how trading works. A strategy that has a winning ratio of 78%, a max drawdown of 35% and a return of 112% over 18 trades.

If you look at the chart it tells you there were 18 trades (one a year) of which there were 14 wins and 4 losers.

Looking at the simplest most profitable trading strategy since year 2000. Buy in November and sell in May, 112% return.

Still on course for a retest of the May highs.

It's bloombergs graphic representation based the weekly COT reports that shows the net positions held by large speculators. So the majority are still holding eurodollar longs and have been since early 2017 but the figure has been dropping off since the start of this year. The majority of overall positions on the US dollar have been shorts since the first quarter of 2017 but the difference is steadily decreasing as more longs positions are being taken up. https://cotbase.com/
