Thread: Is the market random or not ?

I am making this thread to show all unsure individuals if the market is random or not, followed closely by hopefully the correct answer.

I got this inspiration when I saw people who have done 1000 trades (1kt's) asserting that trading is random, followed with a significant discussion.

So I wish to make this plain and simple. Repairing a vote-pull and on the lookout for individuals with at least two years of market-experience or at least 1k trades (live) behind your belt.

I do not feel it is crucial for any explanation. For those who have completed over 1k trades you should now the answer, IMO.

Want to give an explanation? Same standards as for voting, please.

Somehow I'm comfortable about the Outcome. Otherwise I would look -- Edit: I am beginning to look for my.

Thinking markets proceed arbitrary is a misconception.

How do you decide volume from the Forex market?

Short term the market is arbitrary - only imagine a simple currency hedge against a huge business which want to hedge their risk. They do not care about the current price...

Long term (fundamentally) it's not arbitrary.

We do not speak about traded volume. It is tick volume which gives pretty good hints.

I concur, but generally saying that the market is arbitrary is a misconception. Same as for every seller there must be a buyer.

Really ? Tell me most of TA traders in the FX market trade without volumes ? You speak like there is a meaning of every move in the FX market. You do know there are companies who buys/sells just because they need to and price doesn't matter?

That is a respond I could expect from a 18 year-old kid. I've given up trying to inform new participants about this forum and I know remember why.

If you're 100% sure on your definition of the market, why are you even posting here without following your statement up? Like you as for me, I do not mind what other men and women think or believe but when they input a conversation here on FF, participants could demand a more brief explanation by a person. Have a look how those yes as well as someno voters gave excellent explanation regarding this topic.

Looking at a number of the names on those who voted yes, I begin to know what they mean. A quick calculation of their market experience would provide us something about 60( ) years while I would wager that amount is a lot higher compared with those who voted no. Also thinking about how the crows always have incorrect, I can only conclude this happen to be an eduional thread for me and also thank you all for your detailed explanation earlier in the thread.

Price bars mean plenty w/o volume. Price action as a complete goes to market sentiment. It's quite easy to determine in advance if the day will probably be a ranging day or a trending one. Trade accordingly.

Wow bad. Care to edue us? If I understand correctly, you state you can tell me on the price-action i.e Asia session in the event the day will be ranging or not?
