Testing Deriv p2p Transfers

Testing Deriv p2p Transfers

239957   July 2, 2022 14:17   SwingFish   Traders Library Philosophy  

on the deriv platform they have a system that allows traders to exchange money (essentially moving funds from one to another account)

which is a pretty great idea!
(but I do have some doubts about the legal workings, as this walks a very thin path among the laundry path.)

well the benefit is clear, if you have issues getting transfers to work, other traders can “help you out”
it’s just like trading Forex, you decide the “exchange rate” when making your Bid or Ask, which will in terms define your fee/spread.

place the Ad of you buy or sell and wait for someone to pick it up.
pretty straightforward. so let’s try it.

i placed a Buy Ad, but there was already someone Selling, so i went to that one.

placed my offer, made the transfer, and now it’s waiting time…

20 minutes later, everything is complete, funds made it to my Account.
that’s a neat service!

Risk ON / Risk OFF

my Trading performance isn’t that good currently, lot’s of time there are some hickups
like

  • targets not reached (support/resisstance seem to have its own life
  • liquidity is not constantly at the same level causing erratic movements.
  • War tensions and other nonsense
  • upcoming Rate Hikes Worldwide.

well, the Rate Hikes do have an advantage as this will cause some movement of money on a global scale, and guess what, that’s a good thing as markets will become a lot more liquid.

but in the aftermath of Covid-19 and a War may be around the corner, things are uncertain and we start to see massive movements even intraday.

This adds another level of complexity, so it’s time to adjust, take smaller pieces instead of waiting for the big moves!

since we do trade mostly Forex, a zero-sum market in general, ranges should be all we trade anyway.

here is a screenshot of the current 30-day stats, (back in November this was at 14%! .. let’s see if we do get back up in this territory.

Quick Divergence Example / Manage a trade with Divergence information (GBPJPY)

Quick Divergence Example / Manage a trade with Divergence information (GBPJPY)

150087   June 29, 2021 10:17   SwingFish   Traders Library you should know  

this is just a quick example (before/after) to spot Divergences and trade them.

the idea was to Sell xx/JPY (Buy Japanese Yen)

Step 1: look at the Divergence (large and small) chart to find out which one is the best to trade.

Step 2: find entry apply structural stops

Step 3: find exit when the difference narrows down or one reaches the ZERO Level

this does show when momentum is lost, or the difference between the currencies itself is level-out.

does not mean the move is over, but the initial momentum can be considered gone, a good place for a partial exit or complete exit on a nearby structure, if other like (USD/GPB lign up in the meanwhile this could be a sign of continuation, or a pullback to happen that would allow a scale in

the confirmation for USD to continue, scaling in the pullback instead of exiting position

things to note:

  • Divergence data can be collected in multiple ways,
    however, comparing currency symbols (like mot indicators do it) is a very dirty way and get’s you polluted information.
  • SwingFish uses data with permission from xscalp.com
  • Structure matters!
    none of these things will work if you do not respect and use Structural information
    (the charts/trade what you see) to find stop/profit levels.
