    sorry i keep making emotional trades....i may be eventually right but the idea is to make money ...not be right.

    i think i am a scalper at heart ..but a scalper who does not know the target

    so i get what you are saying and i pray, you will implement what you are saying.

    Ya, in stocks for example, frequently support and resistance are violated, then correct after that point.
    The days of conventional S/R rules are over imo, hence why setting stops right at these levels is now a losing game.
    However I've never seen S/R levels work at all on fx, never, but stocks it used to.
    Fx works better imo on round numbers.

  6. I've made a synthetic S/R in FX that has a 75% probability that price will close above/below this S/R. It's kind of scary that it works in my manual tests (read: charts) but requires manipulation of some weird things:

    1. A global definition for trading "midday"
    2. Cross-currency pair prices in relation to each other (so combining USDJPY and USDCAD for example)

    So when I put these two things together, the probabilities for the S/R work out to be 75% probability in the long case that the pair closes above the support and 75% below the resistance for the short case - they are inverted cases of each other.

    It requires some number crunching and the perspective of a retard so I guess that's why it isn't obvious. It probably won't work in real life, don't worry.

    But otherwise yes I agree with you that S/R is a done game. Now it's a stop hunter's paradise.

    why does anything go to support or resistance? market will go where the liquidity is ,where the buyers and sellers are.

    buyers once they buy put a stop loss usually below support which is the price buyers bought....they will not buy again...but their stop is there below support

    i have now decided to forget learning to trade and trade to make money.

    What does this mean? it means only trade when the probability of success very high.
