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/

Euro longs not giving up just yet but USD heading for positive territory.

Includes an explanation of hidden and classic divergence and Class A, B and C divergence as well as rules for use and when not to use. https://www.leaprate.com/experts/ruslan-saakov/divergence-convergence-description-types-methods-rules/

Oilfxpro you really are laughable with your multiple logins and your inability to argue your corner without shifting the goalposts when your bs is called out. So predicable, so boring.

That's right, keep shifting the argument around, move the goalposts whenever you get called out and your debating points shown up as being nonsense, it's what you always do. Next will come the abuse and name calling, so predictable.

He talked specifically about short-term (prop) traders and differentiated between them and portfolio traders, he has worked with many of both groups. He talked about the correlation between volume and price movement and how and where to find it and see it. Indices increments are called ticks whereas fx increments are called pips. You didn't really listen at all did you, too much of a hurry to get on with the trolling.

Not surprisingly you have got this wrong. He did talk about volume and relative volume and it's application to indices. He then talked about the fx market and tick volume (he was asked specifically about it). He knew exactly what he was talking about. I long ago learnt you don't debate but just randomly troll.

In my subjective opinion he knows more about trading than you ever will and given that you have never traded successfully in over 10 years of trying I will take his opinion over yours any day.
