Hi Gavin,

I went through all your video. Stochastics was really very helpful. I would like to request you that if possible provide video for Fibonacci and Pivot.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Thomas

Great video on SSI - a really clear explanation.

Thanks

One question:

Emphasis is made that the SSI is more relavant in trending markets - I often see (particularly on the dailyfx forexstream) attention being drawn to the USD/CHF pair - as @ 28 Aug the SSI reading is 4.42 long. The inference is that traders should be looking to use a contrarian approach and look to enter short at some point. The pair have been rangebound since late June.

Q: If retail traders see a clearly ranging pair wouldn't it be normal behaviour to expect "what had happened before to happen again" and therefore in this case go long (skewing the SSI positioning strongly towards the long side)because price is at the bottom of the channel?

Once again great video - Thanks

You're welcome and thanks for the kind words.

If retail traders thought the USD/CHF was in a tradeable range bound situation, then most likely the SSI would be close to 1 as the number of buyers and sellers would be about even. That is what I usually see in a range bound market. But it is also the high number of current buyers that can add volatility for a strong move down. If this market breaks to the downside, all those buyers will look to exit their trade which would result in some additional selling pressure to the downside. That is the trade we want to be in.

FANTASTIC!

I watched the full range of videos with thirst.

In the first moments I thought: "well, even if I am a beginner I know pretty well what MACD does, what default parameters it got etc. etc."

But then, watching the clips I started and realize the real value of them: it's not the quite trivial definitions of the indicators. Those can be found in many places.

No, it's the contour of practical operativity suggestions and practices that make these videos golden. I adsorbed every tiniest bit of such information and for once I felt like I invested my time, not just "spent" it.

BRAVO!
I am going to open a trade account just to see if I can find out more of this kind of informations around.

I've just watched the Bollinger Bands explanation fo the second time - these are the best training videos I've come across - concise, professionally put together and straight to the point.

Thanks Gavin and all the FXCM Instructors - keep up the good work it's appreciated

One quick question:

Your point about changing the SD to 3 - there's no problem apart from the fact that my "Set as Default" button is grayed out - do you know how I can enable it?

Once again great videos

Thank you....glad you find value in these videos.

After you change the Standard Deviation input to 3 from 2 and click on your choice, the Set as Default button should activate so you can click on it. First, change the value and then click on your choice.
