probably a stupid question given the subject matter but is it possible to explain briefly why it is strange and uncomfortable? I dont want to go on and on about it but I have sometimes seen QP and mysticysm linked.

Yes that is very true. The best way to approach something is with open minded skepticism. Dont dismiss or accept before fully investigating. A useful approach for trading because you often hear a lot of conflicting views about methods and indicators.

First question, I am influenced by science and religion as I think that they are complementary-despite the fact that there are some theories and ideas that do oppose each other. My ideas of what might be true are not limited to current scientific knowledge. I am willing to at least consider any...

Interesting quote from someone with your name and avatar..or am I going off down a cul de sac?

Do you have any good references where I can learn about this? I am more interedted in it for the sake of it rather then for forescating because I am developing my own system anyway. As for forecasting, how perfect is any system?

But how do you define credibility? You cant just dismiss something because it sounds incredible. Yes you need sound evidence but sometimes evidnce itself it dismissed because what it suggests is too strange for our predefined ideas. Or the evidenvce may be sound but scarce-as Sir Conan Doyle...

I suppose that everything we dont understand is labelled as mystical and everything we do understand as scientific.As soon as it can be understood by us in terms that we find acceptable then it becomes science. It would seem that something only becomes believable once it is explainable-a...

IM not surew if the above is meant to be a rhetorical question but I meant how exactly do you use them in the analysis? Here is the reason why I am asking this- (I found it via a link on another thread) Welcome! I will trade my long-term trading system in EUR/USD and GBP/USD here. I wish I...

IM pretty new to this and I keep hearing this term but I dont know what it is or how to use it? Is it any indicator that you use to confirm an entry signal? Thanks

HI Bluetipex, would you be able to elaborate a bit more on your above post? I.e. how to set up and read the signals using those indicators you mentioned? (Im new to trading so Im not that familiar with a lot of techniques and indicators) Thanks

As soon as Ive properly tested it I will post it. I dont want to post any old rubbish (not when I could sell it for thousands!) It might be a week or two before I can post it.

Im not saying I think fib retracements work, I just meant the fact that that ratio appears everywhere in the universe. I might be a candidate for a mental assylum according to most, but I love all that stuff! Science is about exploring the unknown even when it does seem ridiculous.

Any advice on where I can learn to do this?

But if people do make a living out of it , is it because they have found a 'psuedo' holy grail i.e. a system better than most, or is it because they just stick with a system that has been good in the past and see themselves through the rough times? Do you think that a systems performance...

What about Fibonnacci?
