      Actually that statement right there suggests to me that you don't understand the nature of probability - you cannot be a pro gambler, say, in a casino because every system in the casino is designed to have an edge for the casino.
      If you gamble for long enough in a casino you WILL lose, END OF.
      Because the system is designed that way.
      Pity you cant ask Christian Huygens who first developed Proability theory - and the ppocket fob watch and the Pendulum Clock - and Titan - he ws also curious about Time Travel.

      And Wave theory - and a new musical tone system.

      Quite a Polymath.

      You should read about him - theres a splendid Biography named 'Titan'.

      Thats it ....

        Some say in a foggy evening - you can hear his footsteps on the canal paths of Leiden.

          plus that post was never worth three wry smilees, one at the most

          Oh yes it was (to your second comment)


          My argument is that on a day basis there is no discernible pattern any decision you make is equivalent to tossing a coin.

              I have no view on your argument, other than to say that if I had such evidence or method to discover such a pattern I wouldn't be sharing it for free on the internet.

                Haven't had any on this thread though..
                I can tell you that there are many events that occur on price charts which have a greater than 50% chance of occurring:
                • Bounces off pivot points
                • Bounces off support/resistance
                • Bounces of fibonacci retracements (the GBPUSD and euro$ like the 50%)
                • Price reaching fibonacci extensions
                • Price action patterns playing out, such as pinbars.
                • Round number bounces


                But the real edge is when you put some of these things together in confluence.

                Unfortunately to really prove this, you will have to sit in front of a chart every day like I do. Think of it as the equivalent of putting in flying time to receive a Pilot's license.

                  I could share my system here and most people just wouldnt "get it". And others wouldnt have the right psychological make-up to follow it through.
