Trading misinformation:Quack views on brokers and trading


Recommended Posts

Sometimes  I go to quack private trading forums and read something like this.

 

 Sun tzu applied to trading

“Maintaining the goodwill of the people is essential to win the battle.”

Applied to trading – The people of a nation will support a war if it has a clear purpose and benefit to them. Similarly, as a trader, Scalping too much and/or applying automated trading programs isn’t an acceptable behavior to the broker, which will end up with him closing your account and then with you not being able to sustain your trading activities. 

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Tzu

 

Makes one wonder how much misinformation is given to traders.Brokers love a scalper who will give them 50 spreads a day , as opposed to the  trader who trades once a month.Applying automated trading programs is not an acceptable behaviour ?.If a trader has bots doing 50 trades a week , surely the broker must be happy.

 

How much misinformation is posted in the internet ,books,analysis, quack forums, seminars etc etc etc?Just imagine 20,000 trading books, there is only one road from A to B ,yet traders are bombarded with 20,000 maps, one indicator does the job yet there are over 5,000 indicators on mql4.com site.If a driver had 5,000 indicators, he would not not which direction to take, in his very simple journey.

 

Aren't traders bombarded with too much information to be successful?

Which book has map to the trading gold mine?

 

Can the book writers (people who have failed at trading ) not write 1 book, instead of 20,000 books to totally confuse the readers/new trader?

 

We go to private trading forums, to be misinformed by the regular high priests of noise, they have 50,000 threads on opinions of trading successfully, multiply that by 20 forums of misinformation. = 1,000,000 useless opinions and analysis by the high priests of noise.Does a trader really need that?

 

If all  technical analysis was reliable, one could make a robot or a series of robots, to make a profitable robot?

 

Why are they giving you hundreds of price action videos, when a stochastics indicator does the job?Why are they inventing 5,000 more indicators when the stochastics is adequate for the job?

 

Trading is very easy and very simple, but every internet guru, author and other charlatans want to sell you the holy grail, essentially the blind leading the blind, and leading new traders on the wrong paths, their paths of unproven trading.In the gold rush, the only people 

 

Get rich selling education,indicators,software,price action courses, backtesting software,signals, tools, picks and shovels for the traders..............but please don't forget to sell them t/a maps or books, when you don't know the map to the gold.

There are forum threads on other forums designed to mislead new traders ,and keep sponsors and vendors happy.After all the sponsors pay for these sites.These sponsors benefit from over trading day traders ,if day traders over trade , it does does not matter if most lose , as long as sponsors get more income from spreads.

 

Forum threads which provide misinformation

    • Sainsburys full year earnings and Unilever’s first quarter trading update both say the same thing, UK consumers are in for higher prices. The war in Ukraine, supply chain issues and the effects of ongoing Covid all to blame.      
    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
