Your right Jorgina markets are manipulated . One of the major driving forces at present is robots . They can use huge amounts of history to try and determine the future and then use huge cash to test and play markets continually scalping and profiteering . But hey that is no different to what everyone else does either . Trendlines , channels ,stoch , macd, rsi , ma's etc etc all work on occasions and on different time frames but so does pairing , counting bars , esoteric patterns ,calculating numbers blah blah blah .
I made the point the other day re 8-10 point moves as cfd providers often have a minimum distance for stops and buy/sell stop orders . Money management rules also set where stops are and the smarty pants men can calculate these very quickly to destroy the majority .
425 to 475 is a 12% return in a month which is 10 times better than having your cash in the bank for 1 year . Be happy and practice practice practice till u get to 200% plus a month [compounded over 1 year this is a good return unless u blow up ] Even the best traders in the world blow up on occasions though .
