Good question - in my youth, I was an elite 400 metres sprinter, and Alberto Juantorena, a legendary 400 and 800 runner, was a hero for me growing up. And yes, that was his nickname. In retrospect, I probably could have chosen better ....

Nice analogy!! Though you did mention you do take some overnight holds - must feel like a 1500m freestyle when you do those!
lol aye it does that. been training for the longer ones tho, did a 4.6k ocean swim earlier in the year - gee that was painful. I gotta mix the intra-day with longer term holds at market turns. a mate used to run a gold derivatives desk in Aus, the advice to me was to go for the trades that run for 12 months. "hey? 50 seconds is too long!!" I said
A good example of the o/n sb fade on FTSE today - at US close FTSE @ 4695, opened around 4650

Good luck with the TA , if you want to stay in the game, look for the short term mood & be ready to flip

LOL - thanks Edwood, like it.
I prefer the chicken entrails myself, but it upsets the wife.

I haven't tried the entrails Timmy, will have to give it a go
blimmin CMC sb have put their FTSE out of ours spread out to 8pts - pfff
Edwood,
You can never really rely upon this type of broker - they are always liable to move a goalpost or two at their pleasure.
In spite of that, I hope you are nailing some good trades.

for sure - its more that they used to be 4pts just a few months ago, then went to 6, now out to 8 - unless they're only going out on my quotes that is
yeah amazing what the little buggers will do - a guy I studied with had them pressing levers to unlock a running wheel. tehy'd hang off the top of the wheel by their front paws and stretch across to the lever with one back leg pressing away until the wheel unlocked then hop in & run til the wheel locked again. over time they learned some pretty complicated sequences to unlock the wheel
but using music to represent price action is a clever idea. great bit of research imho, even if it does have that 'novelty' factor
