I had no idea there was a minimum membership period before being allowed to post on the boards. My apologies if I have transgressed any unwritten protocols and hopefully can avoid an instant ban. As you have decided to comment on my post, I feel encouraged to expand on your points made. Muddy...

Yes, there certainly seem to be some strange goings on. I notice a post by fxmarkets this morning on the thread concerning the article about 'Market 'Noise': How Seasoned Traders Learn to Ignore It" mentioned quite validly there wasn't an awful lot of 'how to' in the article. Not significant...

FXCM offer European and Exotics. http://64.94.171.14/fxcm-co/europeanCalculatorPage.jsp The exotics provide a useful window on the direction the pros think the various pairs are heading. With some adjustments and using their own pricing models it is possible to get a general direction, but...

There are so many threads I want to pick up on, but a couple of things stop me. Advice appreciated. Some of the threads terminate somewhat abruptly and did so some time back - does it make sense to respond to them now or to start a new thread? A large number of the posters who were very active...

I'd like to thank Grey1 for taking his forum public. Just spent an hour browsing and bookmarking threads to come back to in depth. This is a genuine goldmine. Truly awesome. So with coffee pot plugged in and no intention of sleeping...onward. Thanks again Grey1. John

After you've clicked on 'new posts' from the blue menu as barjon says, you are then presented with a list of all the threads that are new or have new posts since your last visit. If you click on the down arrow to the left of these threads, you'll be taken the oldest new post you've yet to view...

Grey1 thanks for your response. Based on my opening post on this subject it seems the thread you moderate focuses on exactly the information I'd like to be discussing with other traders. The "trading as a business" approach is all too often missed. Systems and methodologies, even VWAP itself...

Why not just develop the skills? I suspect it's because just identifying them is difficult. Harnessing a farm of aspergers syndrome 'trade monkeys' seems a little unreal - though it's been tried in different guises a few times in the past. And if you could choose it for yourself, would you...

Thanks commanderco. Puts a little more meat on the bones and confirms on a more empirical basis what it is I've been intuiting on an experiential level. Has a couple of what are for me exotic trade strategies while I've been treating them as less 'elastic' Bollingers. With VWAP you appear to...

Do you mean Grey1 is not accessible or the thread? If it's the thread, has it been archived - can it be brought out of moth-balls?

Thanks for the fill in fc. So it's more akin to gambling than trading. Nothing derogatory intended - if I was going to call a coin toss, I'd consider knowledge of past coin tosses a useful thing. What surprises me is anyone would offer so much more then evens of a binary such as 'finish up or...

Could you explain just a bit about what it is youre doing? What do you mean by the "@3.15"?

Do any other traders consider VWAP a useful tool for trading NASDAQ stocks? I have been putting VWAP through its paces over the last couple of months and using it in a manner similar to Bollinger bands. Why I feel it serves and even better purpose than B-bands is that in active markets, it...

Most of the people who seem to have a problem with my posts seem to be fellow Americans. Wake up.
