What do you think? is it just an anomali cause I saw this happen a lot of time....
It's only that way in a sideways range. For instance, lately with USD/CHF that would have been true for part of that time due to the range.

But think of it this way...if a pair is downtrending and everyone keeps trying to "call a bottom" and the trend continues on (which is most likely), then these guys get either 1) stopped out, 2) scared out, 3 ) margin called out or 4) they finally reverse their positions.

Any of these combos keeps fueling the trend onward. That's why SSI works so well in trends. I've traded using it for years and it's been great in my opinion.
