I will make a list: top 100 best edges on forex charts.
So please post good edges in this thread.
Good edges are considered:
- stimulating your perspective in the market
- any trader should know about and should have seen at least once
- getting inspiration for your own system
- (naturally, I don't consider a good edge: profitable in trading. The purpose of this thread is solely increasing our mindset and depth in the market by analysing different kind of edges.)(Note: a losing strategy of 90% loss to 89%)

Hello reader, welcome to the discussion.
Discussion:
- What do you consider an edge?
--> me: consistent and positive (research) expectancy.
--> your opinion
- What forex myths are not considered an edge?
--> me: crossovers, divergences
--> your opinion
- How can one find an edge?
--> me:
- by reading charts 1 year 8 hours a day. It does help to view charts in different perspectives (using indicators, grids, visuals, a link). Do you agree?
- by finding reference points in the market and obtain a ton of statistics based on those points. Or are some edges non-statistics based, in your opinion?
- Here's the paradox: You need to know what you're looking for before you can find it. But, how do you know what to look for? That's why, in my own case, I'm looking to the market itself - rather than criss-crosses on the surfaces of charts. Do you agree?
- simple advantages like trading from Wednesday 0:01AM instead of 0:00AM already gives you a 1% edge. Everyone that is reading this thread knows about this edge, but please note, that this is also considered an edge. So everyone here will be able to contribute because we all have gained various edges in our experience, no matter how small.
--> your opinion
- There are 100s of edges. Do you agree that some edges can be found on naked charts, and others not?
--> me: yes
--> your opinion

2. forex chart edges
3. additional visuals

Edge or bust?
