Hereâs a paradox. One the one hand, thereâs good laboratory evidence that money can change peopleâs behaviour for the worse, making them less likely to co-operate (pdf) with others and more likely to cheat. But on the other hand, thereâs...

I see you’re using the Oanda platform. I trade mostly through there in my Forex Acct. I never did understand that Ichimoku indicator, is it any good?
March 2nd, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Yes, I use Oanda although forex isn’t my main trading activity.
Ichimoku indicator: good if you keep it simple, basically it removes the noise and gives you a zone, the “cloud”, where the market is in balance and where you do nothing and you should be long above and short below, that’s all there is to it.

OT-
I am a retail investor so I generally don’t follow the ups and downs on a daily basis, but recently I have been looking for opportunities and have been surprised by some of the action I have seen with the bids higher than the asks for 10s of seconds at a time. I was just wondering if this is normal or indicative of forced buying/selling or something else?
Thanks in advance,
