I am trying to identify a changed market characteristic that tells me to get out - I don't need to do it predictively, real time will do. Intuitively and what all traders say and what all trading writers write, is that there are "changes" in market charcteristics or behaviour that will eventually suddenly throw your plans out, whether for entry or trade management. At that time, you should get out and re-set. They don't say what they're talking about, even retrospectively: I'm trying to work out at least one candidate.
I agree, all fx prices move simultaneously with respect to each other. That's exactly the issue. So there is some relationship between e.g. EUR/JPY and GBP/CAD. I don't necessarily have to learn what it is, as long as I can see if its proceeding "normally" or are we in a storm situation.
Tootally agree on trends. Just as a retrace may not be the end of a trend, I also never see retraces coming - if I look at the charts. But I'm eaten up with the notion there is more going on than the sum of a lot of TA and if I can get a scent of it I could keep a lot more profit per basket of trades.
I hope this isn't tedious, thanks for your thoughts. I'm excited that I'm getting caution but not being certified loony.
I use strengthmeters to monitor expansion and contraction in the G8 market ....for example on a 20ma setting attached on a daily TF you see areas where the market is expanded and will probably soon revert back to mean (reduce / exit positions) and also is compressed and will inevitably diverge very soon.......(prepare to trade the lead diverging bull/bear currencies)
works on any TF and dependent on settings you like ...........
follow the markets dynamics and signals.....go with the flow .....that all we can do :smart:
