      • 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.
      OK I can see how that would work - that's the kind of (tentative) theory to disprove my random hypothesis idea that I was looking for.
      If only you'd said so at the start.

          No it won't because you're a junior poster.

              In typical fashion it was mainly the Frenchies that came up with mathematically quantifying chance (probability), but actually the English who put it to use in practical stats (Pearson, Fisher et..al)

                  do you think there is causality between him oncy coming once a year and him having a big sack?

                    As I've observed before, you really are very poorly educated.
