Agreed!Of course, and just for the sake of completeness, we should include that select group of traders very adept at fast thinking outside the box who believe they have an edge being simultaneously long and short the same instrument at the same time.
They manage to combine the, umm, uncombinable, following the trend and being countertrend at the same time.

I am an expert at micro scalping, and Incremental trading methods.
look forward to your thoughts.
We're Lucky to have an expert join us here on t2w.
I am an expert at micro scalping, and Incremental trading methods. You can google up my handle and find information. These "intra instrument hedgers" are so sadly mistaken in what they are doing. Position modulation is controlling the level of exposure to the market. This intra-instrument opposite "hedging" is just closure of a portion of the position. And, clearly, transactions cost commission, etc. I use multiple transactions, but I always do so with price advantage which pays for the commissions and, although I do "modulate" my exposure, this is not done by taking "long" and "short" positions in the same currency pair. Position exposure modulation is good, but it must be done in a more intelligent manner. So much to teach, so little time !

Hi HS
Its great to have another expert on this Forum - but surely you gave yourself away when you said something like I am like us all and still wanting to improve my ways etc etc - ( would need to find your exact comment again )
For me micro scalping as you called it would be say 0 3 to say 2 pips - not 2 pip to 10 pips - that more short term intraday and you dont need charts under 60 seconds ( TICK charts as i still call them ) but even a simple one min chart can get you them with the correct amount of knowledge.
Please tell me - how long have you been trading and how many live scalps have you made ??
That's always the first clues of finding out how good you might be at price structure and price action
Next questions - how large are your stops - and on average what number of scalps do you take per day or per your session and whats your win ratios per batches of 100 trades ?
Those are next clues
Finally who were your original mentors or experienced traders of the past ( but after the year 1999 - who assisted you on your journey ?
Dont worry you dont have to provide any doctored statement saying you make $1k or 10k per day - just the normal questions and answers build up the picture etc
Good Trading to you and look forward to doing some live call trades with you in the new year
Regards
F
Love to know theses answers

Its like Mario Ballotelli going up to Lionel Messi ...Hey Messi tell me how many times have you kicked a ball .....how hard to you kick it ......when do you pass it....how many volleys can you do
I have kicked it 24500 and you have only 16000 so you are not an expert like me ....truly cringeworthy
It depends on the method of trading.When you get right down to it, there are just two ways to trade: with the trend or against it. For this week's TOTW,we pose the question, which is better?!
Is it better to trade with or against the trend?
Last week's TOTW: What's the best trade you ever made?
I've recently been working on our LMAX conversion, and have posted some price improvement data, and LMAX data rates on this thread:
http://www.trade2win.com/boards/forex/195668-brokers-scalpers-true-ecn-brokers.html
I've made many thousands of live scalps, but so what? There are many ways to trade, and I'm always learning, as all good traders know. Not only do we micro-scalp (or nano-scalp) primarily on LMAX but also do Swing trading robot style trading on Dukascopy. Trading operations need to be diversified. I've worked heads down for 6 months on software, testing and tweaking and am looking forward to 2015 where this work will pay off, and I can come up for air.
But I know you are highly experienced, Forexmospherian so I wouldn't want to question anything you say. I'll just say that there are many many "experts" on these forums, and many "niche" areas in which to become an "expert". So nobody would ever know everything about trading...
100% agree with you Hyperscalper with many of your words in this reply comment
i can see you expertise does certainly appear to be on the tech side of developing a profitable ongoing scalping trading business.
i would agree with you also with regards to LMax - they seem to have been getting rave reviews from everywhere on their performance etc etc.
Always use backwards price and time for taking the next trade.
Maybe buy and stops are future order's
That's one of my fav DAX trade's.
First pull back on a break out, can get false breaks but that's part of the game.
If done on a tick chart you could do hundreds of trades a day.
Then you only need the chart to see where the markets been and just stare a deal ticket going in and out all day.
Guess going back to the thread question.
Trying to trade with the trend but taking the trade against the trend.
Hello BSD
Yet again - you are wrong
It is possible to make 85 pips or more out of say a 70 pip fall in a currency pair and of course make money trading both ways
For example many days I will take a scalp sell with a 5 pip stops and after say 10 -30 mins will exit 70% of the stake size and leave 30% on and move the stops into say 1 or 2 pips of profit.
Matey to be honest I don't think you could trade your way out of a paper bag if your life depended on that.
You're not a trader, you're a winder up who get his thrills making unsubstantiable make believe calls on an anonymous board.
