You will never look for the same thing again when opening your charts.
NO INDICATORS REQUIRED.

Video review by PTG:

Thanks by the way for mentioning those Sam Seiden videos. They were on my list to watch, but hadn't done that yet. After watching the first one, I decided to watch them all. It is really worth every minute (for me at least) because it provides a very good insight into the institutional traders vs. the novice retail traders. One needs to understand this stuff to be able to take advantage of the institutional freight train instead of getting one in your eye

LOL, Funny PTG

I found it interesting when he told the story about trading at the conference with a bunch of other traders.
He said that they had worked out all the levels and set up an entry point but when it came time to take the trade only 50% of the traders there actually took it. And to think, this is trading side by side with professional traders.

I can only imagine that of the remaining 50% many bailed when they saw a little draw down and yet others bailed on the trade before their first profit targets.

Hmmmmm

Yeah I saw that one.

It just requires you to be part of the 50% who don't bail :smt002

Another thing that was interesting was his remark about not knowing where to exit: the real problem is that you don't have your entry right (in other words, you're not really sure what you're doing). Sounds a bell ? :P :smt017

I'm on my 8th video right now. Getting late (2.40 am), but then again it's back to winter time so I have an extra hour :smt037
AND there's more beer left :smt030

Yer typical mistakes matey: (not necessarily yours :lol: )

Mistake #1: buy into resistance, i.o.w. buying into an area where there are more sellers than buyers

Mistake #2:buying after a period of buying.

The chances of being successful are low. Typical case of a pirate that shoots in his own foot :smt107

The good news is that this lousy buying opportunity is... a very good selling opportunity.. :idea:

People that know what they're doing get paid by people who don't.

I love it when a plan comes together :smt033

(full disclosure: my plans don't always work.... :smt095 )

That's a novice gap indeed. I checked it; on MBT it appears 4 bars to the right. Also, that's the highest price (1.66725).

The professional gap at MBT is earlier in the move, but that move started later than yours. Perhaps more novice traders at FXCM that drove up the price because price appeared to go through the roof.. interesting.
