Trade Forex and the Stock Market Profitably Without Indicators

Most of us are still wondering what the hell we're talking about when we say price of the transaction. This is the way the trade fair and possibly light could activate for some people and will start to really see the price as it really is. I will not enter candlestick patterns as they are covered by many experts in the field. What I will be talking about is the price action and price patterns. It's what you see on the screen when "naked" empty of everything blurred vision. Perhaps, if it continues, it is understandable why price moves towards the way it does. The price is "alive" in a manner of speaking.

I treat it like a hunter. Learn their habits, and have habits that are repeated over and over again, makes all the difference between bringing home a trophy, put the meat on your table or go hungry another day.

When I look at all trading systems and indicators all over the place and the latest bells and whistles that people use to conduct their operations, I can not help but compare those people "trappers". They are setting a trap. Perhaps the fox will show up and get caught, but most likely, a little sly devil will backtrack on you and slip away. I'm not saying "catch" is a bad method for hunting, I'm just saying that all the conditions have to be right for the prey to be trapped.

For this reason, all EA systems and work part time, but none of them work all the time. When conditions are right, the trap of EA or the system will jump and find another skin. Sometimes, the trap is sprung but can not catch prey and sometimes not spring the trap. His success as a "trapper" depends on a mechanical trap, left to its own. Let must not forget that the fox is a cunning animal and will learn their capture modes. Learns to survive by adapting its forms. Trappers who can not adapt to the changing forms of the fox, will not last long in the desert of the currency.

On the other hand, the hunter takes more of an active roll in "the hunt". He doesn't just set a box and come back and check it 4 days later. He spends days in the prey's habitat, learning all he can of his adversary. He actively tracks his prey, looking for sign along the way. Learning when and where it feeds, and what it eats and if the prey is large enough, finding the remains of a "trapper" or two along the way. Soon enough though, the hunter tracks the fox right into his den, where the fox lives and is most comfortable. Before it knows it, the fox is skinned and the hunter bags another trophy.

Price moves with direction "and" intent. Too many people try to trade direction only and have not a clue as to the intent of price. Price moves for a set, determined reason. Make no mistake here, price does not move on its own. Price is driven or piloted by somebody or some thing. It is driven with intent. The direction of price is the easy part, it's intent is something entirely different.

Most if not all of the orders placed by every everyone and in all the bucket shops across the world, never see the Forex market. They are handled in house, by your brokers. The brokers have some influence over price and what happens to your trades. Staying with a fixed spread broker gives some protection from these guys but you pay a little more for each trade.
