Thread: What if everybody trades ?

Hi Volks,
there is a believe I dont know, perhaps I believe there are some trading egies that realy works and which aren't hard to do just by some limitorders, also know let us believe everybody do this, if its hoe will go to work in future when they can make as much money at tradeing the markets, do you know what I mean, okay, not everybody find egies like this actually works but should you locate one that he can tell it to everybody and how does the markets can be exists then if somethink like this will hepen, should everybody have a tradingegie and functions from home and the market states dont change, hoe will go work then what will happen, have anyone think about that and thoughts, I my self dont know a lot from the markets but that's a believe that I constantly be thinking about????

But still it would be cool. . If we can help determine the market

Appears to be a good idea. Even if we push 5-10 pips successfully everytime, that will be fantastic!!!

I have thought of that several times before. I think that the real reason a highly reliable winning egy would not produce tens of thousands of winning traders is that people detract from your egy, try to blend in their own methods, etc.. Even the smallest deviation from the original egy could produce consistent losses. Another variable is that people use various brokers and different charting applications, which easily generates various outcomes. Essentially, human emotion (greed, fear) plays with the biggest variable in this conundrum.

As far as automated systems proceed, no system operates all the time. The market is always changing. The automated system can't understand from it's mistakes, such as a human can. As of yet, we do not have the technologies to make artificial intelligence, and that is why I feel the most prosperous traders are the people who find a reliable system and understand how to tweak it accordingly into the changing market conditions. Can not you agree?

I've thought of this too.... Someone gets on every radio station and every tv channel and tells EVERYBODY to buy EUR/USD in 1.4000 and then wait until it reaches 1.8000 to market it. Imagine if everyone actually followed this program? We'd all make millions! The point is, it would not work. When the price reaches 1.8000, it becomes a game of who sells it the quickest. If you are the last person to market, you eliminate all of your money because the 60 million people who sold it two seconds before you have shrunk the price back down.

So that you get clever... Hmmm... instead of selling in 1.8000, I will market at 1.7000!! That way I won't have to compete with 60 million people when the price reaches 1.8000! However, the man next to you is believing, I will sell this sucker in 1.6000 to play it safe. And so on.... What basically happens is that people sell off it at all kinds of different amounts, and the price goes haywire.

The same principle applies if 100 million people followed the exact same indiors in the exact same moment to buy the eur/usd. They would not await the indior to demonstrate a market signal to take profit. Different people would market far before then, to conquer other traders into the punch.

This theory explains the legislation, For every winner, there is a loser. In order for me to live (eat), something has to die... whether it's a chicken or a cow, etc..

In the event you get 5 pip daily its ok isnt it?

I dont knwo I am simply dropping in the markets till understand.

Great explanation Kluster.

Same here. OK, maybe even 10, but no requirement for more than that if you have brother leverage on you side.

If you're the last person to sell, you drop all your cash because the 60 million individuals that sold it two seconds before you have plummeted the price back down.

If EVERYBODY wanted to BUY euros, that means that NOBODY would like to sell them. Who would buy them from?Have a think.
