I've recently considered everything that I've learned before joining this J16 thread and the PF, as JUNK and starting again from scratch.

I can read a chart, I've read more damn books than I can keep track of. Nothing comes close.
(this is a "commercial" thread yah? might as well utilize that fully )

But in all seriousness,...

a killer entry would be a spike or very quick move up to the 50 fib and a continued divergence with rsi.

a great place to throw a little risk dough at some cheap out of the money options with 4 to 6 months left.

chris i hope nothing but the best for you but i wont allow anyone to do what you are doing.

whether its here or you tube or your own site it doesnt matter.

i will take the high road and offer once again to even help you get started but its got to be your own stuff. my material is all original compiled over decades of heart wrenching hard work. i use thingsfrom many different honorable men which i give due credit to. all of my methods are original.

nothing i do is stolen. everything you do was stolen from my site which is under full copyright. everything you teach was learned from me. all of that is perfectly fine but your not going to sell it.

you have my word that i will watch every video you do to make sure i only protect what is mine. im even considering leaving your website alone. how many people would be that nice chris? i will not allow you to continue here or any other place other than your own site as long as you continue to sell my material.

i dont understand people like you chris. thank god.

remember this from just a short time ago chris? what happened to this guy chris? you and i both know what happened. spending 25 plus years working your ass off like i did wasnt going to work for you was it? no
its much easier to steal something that works and call it your own.

once again let me say that i forgive you and im still willing to work with you but i need to see something other than a very bad person.

___________________________________ ____________________________

Jim -

I know you are pounded with emails everyday, most of which are asking questions, and asking for help, but I wanted to take the time to thank you.

As I have only been a member for a few short months, I still have a long way to go. However, for the first time in my short trading career, I feel that I am truly going to make it. Actually, I should say I know. My results are getting better and better. I cannot tell you the frustration I have had in the previous months before finding my new "internet home."

I have to admit, that spending the fee every month kept me away for some time. However, I can honestly say this: It is some of the best money I have ever spent. Your monthly fee has become almost like another "monthly expense" in some ways. A lot like the phone bill. I don't think or worry about it, I just know it's something that is necessary. I feel this group is THAT important. Actually, in all fairness, I believe this group gives me more for my money than the other "bills".

I have been following mbqb11's "My exit strategy" thread lately. He just put out a video today that really opened my eyes on a daily pinbar in the AUD/USD pair I played about 2 weeks ago....I could very easily still be in that trade, and now I know why.

This thread is a perfect example of what you have accomplished. It still amazes me that total strangers (who aren't being paid.) are willing to go way out of their way to post videos to help other strangers. (The fact this amazes me is probably what's wrong with this world. But that's another conversation.)

While yes....I would say your strategies are great, I believe that the true testimony to what you have started is the very fact that the members really do try to help each other. There are so many different people helping others, and paying to be here at the same time. The group is the only place on the net where genuine concern for others is so obvious. In a business where greed and fear drive everything, this is truly an amazing accomplishment.

I just wanted to thank you, and to remind you of how proud you should be of this endeavor.


Your friend and #1 fan,

Clockwork71/Chris

yes it is and i know about it personally.

thats why i try my best to do whats right even when no one is watching.

i dont always succeed but i try.

dealing with people that will do the wrong thing right in front of your eyes is hard for me to understand.

let it be known im trying very hard to do the right thing.

will i be allowed is the question.

chris i hope nothing but the best for you but i wont allow anyone to do what you are doing.

whether its here or you tube or your own site it doesnt matter.

i will take the high road and offer once again to even help you get started but its got to be your own stuff. my material is all original compiled over decades of heart wrenching hard work. i use thingsfrom many different honorable men which i give due credit to. all of my methods are original.

nothing i do is stolen. everything you do was stolen from my site which is under full copyright. everything you teach was learned from me. all of that is perfectly fine but your not going to sell it.

you have my word that i will watch every video you do to make sure i only protect what is mine. im even considering leaving your website alone. how many people would be that nice chris? i will not allow you to continue here or any other place other than your own site as long as you continue to sell my material.

i dont understand people like you chris. thank god.

remember this from just a short time ago chris? what happened to this guy chris? you and i both know what happened. spending 25 plus years working your ass off like i did wasnt going to work for you was it? no
its much easier to steal something that works and call it your own.

once again let me say that i forgive you and im still willing to work with you but i need to see something other than a very bad person.

___________________________________ ____________________________

Jim -

I know you are pounded with emails everyday, most of which are asking questions, and asking for help, but I wanted to take the time to thank you.

As I have only been a member for a few short months, I still have a long way to go. However, for the first time in my short trading career, I feel that I am truly going to make it. Actually, I should say I know. My results are getting better and better. I cannot tell you the frustration I have had in the previous months before finding my new "internet home."

I have to admit, that spending the fee every month kept me away for some time. However, I can honestly say this: It is some of the best money I have ever spent. Your monthly fee has become almost like another "monthly expense" in some ways. A lot like the phone bill. I don't think or worry about it, I just know it's something that is necessary. I feel this group is THAT important. Actually, in all fairness, I believe this group gives me more for my money than the other "bills".

I have been following mbqb11's "My exit strategy" thread lately. He just put out a video today that really opened my eyes on a daily pinbar in the AUD/USD pair I played about 2 weeks ago....I could very easily still be in that trade, and now I know why.

This thread is a perfect example of what you have accomplished. It still amazes me that total strangers (who aren't being paid.) are willing to go way out of their way to post videos to help other strangers. (The fact this amazes me is probably what's wrong with this world. But that's another conversation.)

While yes....I would say your strategies are great, I believe that the true testimony to what you have started is the very fact that the members really do try to help each other. There are so many different people helping others, and paying to be here at the same time. The group is the only place on the net where genuine concern for others is so obvious. In a business where greed and fear drive everything, this is truly an amazing accomplishment.

I just wanted to thank you, and to remind you of how proud you should be of this endeavor.


Your friend and #1 fan,

Clockwork71/Chris

These are todays trades. Im up a little over 23,000 on them. this does not include my mini dow trading which is the core of my trading.

i choose to not lead people into trades. i have thousands of former students that can do this as well as me.

i didnt give them a fish. i taught them to fish.

im proud of that.

i dont know how much longer i will be at forex factory but wherever i go i will continue to help people for free and with no pressure to join anything.

i will try to answer this and es question above.

guys i have been doing this since late 1982.

i try to teach things that i have learned over the years that new people can have at least a prayer at staying above water for the first year.

pa, s/r etc etc... i teach basic stuff that i know works. there are many things i do that i cant teach on a forum or anywhere other than by my side and even that would not work until you had crossed the desert with it. the single hardest thing is the rifle mentallity and then not letting good entries turn into losses.

its a long road of hard knocks. for 5 years all i have done is try to point people down a road that i know isnt a dead end.

i only teach 10 percent of what i actually do. i cant teach the "mental" part and thats the biggest part to succesful trading.

YOU LEARN THE GAME BY PLAYING THE GAME. I PLAYED THE GAME FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS BEFORE I LEARNED IT.

the good news for all of you is that what i do teach IS ENOUGH if combined with effort, patience, practice and common sense.

one of my future plans is to have a live trading room or live set ups. dont know when and a lot has to do with whether my wife will permit it. right now she gets pissed if i even mention it.

my wife is scared to death some crazy person is going to lose all there money and come after me and/or our family. think about it. i think in todays world she has a point.

i dont need the money so why am i doing this?

ego, i enjoy helping people, its fun etc etc. take your pick.

anybody that does what i do and is actually financially succesfull is a damn fool if they put there family in that situation. would you agree?

thats just my opinion but its important to my wife and thats enough for me.

sorry to get off topic but i wanted to touch on that if anyone has ever wondered.

jim

sorry I hope I havnt lost the plot, im at work

you should have been here when ozzy osbourne took a drunken piss on the side of the Alamo.

his own words were "i thought i was going to die".

if there hadnt been a cop nearby he would have.

i love living in a place where good people can kick ass on killers, rapists and child molesters.

i felt kinda sorry for ozzie. he got roughed up pretty bad. ive done some stupid things while drunk but not that stupid. lol.

it is sad and it always brings something to my mind.

why the hell do people vote for a thought process that says the good guy has less rights than the bad guy?

people in texas look at places like california in total disbelief,

same with taxes.

want to lose an election in texas? just talk about higher taxes or a state tax and your done.

california etc etc? they just keep right on voting for higher and higher taxes that never solve a damn thing.

unreal,

jim

Pretty Sad if you ask me.

i only teach 10 percent of what i actually do. i cant teach the "mental" part and thats the biggest part to succesful trading.

YOU LEARN THE GAME BY PLAYING THE GAME. I PLAYED THE GAME FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS BEFORE I LEARNED IT.

the good news for all of you is that what i do teach IS ENOUGH if combined with effort, patience, practice and common sense.

one of my future plans is to have a live trading room or live set ups. dont know when and a lot has to do with whether my wife will permit it. right now she gets pissed if i even mention it.

my wife is scared to death some crazy person is going to lose all there money and come after me and/or our family. think about it. i think in todays world she has a point.

i dont need the money so why am i doing this?

ego, i enjoy helping people, its fun etc etc. take your pick.

anybody that does what i do and is actually financially succesfull is a damn fool if they put there family in that situation. would you agree?

thats just my opinion but its important to my wife and thats enough for me.

sorry to get off topic but i wanted to touch on that if anyone has ever wondered.

jim

you should have been here when ozzy osbourne took a drunken piss on the side of the Alamo.

his own words were "i thought i was going to die".

if there hadnt been a cop nearby he would have.

i love living in a place where good people can kick ass on killers, rapists and child molesters.

i felt kinda sorry for ozzie. he got roughed up pretty bad. ive done some stupid things while drunk but not that stupid. lol.

it is sad and it always brings something to my mind.

why the hell do people vote for a thought process that says the good guy has less rights than the bad guy?

people in texas look at places like california in total disbelief,

same with taxes.

want to lose an election in texas? just talk about higher taxes or a state tax and your done.

california etc etc? they just keep right on voting for higher and higher taxes that never solve a damn thing.

unreal,

jim

i will try to answer this and es question above.

guys i have been doing this since late 1982.

i try to teach things that i have learned over the years that new people can have at least a prayer at staying above water for the first year.

pa, s/r etc etc... i teach basic stuff that i know works. there are many things i do that i cant teach on a forum or anywhere other than by my side and even that would not work until you had crossed the desert with it. the single hardest thing is the rifle mentallity and then not letting good entries turn into losses.

its a long road of hard knocks. for 5 years all i have done is try to point people down a road that i know isnt a dead end.

i only teach 10 percent of what i actually do. i cant teach the "mental" part and thats the biggest part to succesful trading.

Agree with you totally about protecting your family Jim. I think that's what lifetime pf membership is for. The kind of crazy that's going to risk 50% a trade and then come after you when he strikes out, is not the kind of crazy that's going to stick around 12 months patiently...

i dont know what to tell you my friend.

they are based to a LARGE DEGREE ON THE BASICS OF WHAT I TEACH YOU GUYS BUT THEY ARE ALSO BASED ON 25 YEARS OF WATCHING PRICE AND CHARTS AND "KNOWING" WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT.

(oops sorry i hit the caps button)

thats what the post you quoted is saying.

i cant teach that "knowing" part.

that comes from playing the game for decades.

the trendline has been broken and my stop is now above it and a round number.

thats all i can do.

i dont feel comfortable talking big dollar amounts with my trading. this is the first and the last time i will do it.

i am up around 50,000 on these trades.

several of you sent me charts from trading the mini dow this week on tick charts i showed you.

congrats on your fantastic success.

i nailed the dow this week also.

member, lurker, new,old i love you all.

i wouldnt trade the last 5 years for a meeting with jimmy page or any amount of money.

well almost i guess.

well it aint perfect especially in the large cities but thats true anywhere.

for those of you that actually try to support yourself instead of letting the govmt do it for you paying huge state taxes, no jobs, high living expenses this would seem like heaven to you.

i promise,

Anyhow, I hope everyone had a great trading week. This week is at an end. I have moved my stop on that EU trade to within 30 pips of where we are now and going to let it run over the weekend. EU generally does not gap very large and I still see some potential...

yeah houston is full of idiots. so is dallas.

sorry to be so blunt but arent all big cities like that?

most good hard working people leave mostly for safety reasons.

cant blame them.

the born in poverty line wont work here also.

if you want to better your life, get a job and raise a family you can. you just leave that crap.

educational level wont hurt you, color wont hurt you etc etc.

its there if you want it.

saying you cant get out of the hood here is BS.

if your 'STUCK' in a crime ridden city here its your choice and not someone elses fault.

i would put a million dollars on a bet i could get a job somewhere here in one day.

Off course at the time I was a student and I used to be the one walking around town and people that drove by would wave at me.

The only place in Texas I don't like much is Houston. People there are a little too crazy for my taste. Too much traffic and road rage

great post.

i have told this story before but i will tell it again.

my wifes grandfather flew in those 24's stationed out of england.

out of 44 bomber squads 40 of them did not come home.

when you completed 34 missions you were thru.

4 squads out of 44 came thru the 34 alive.

i asked him what the hardest part was and i swear on his grave this is what he said.

"bombing on xmas eve knowing there were kids down there."

he passed 2 years ago.

i totally agree with your post and its very hard for me to keep my mouth shut when it comes to those subjects.

one last thing and i will let this go.

for 5 years i have been MR. NO HYPE and thats not going to change.

do i trade with a large account? yes.

do i take 4 trades in one day on a normal basis? hell no.

is this unusual? hell yes.

its common for me to take less than 5 or 10 forex trades in a month.

posting those trades made me very uncomfortable and to be honest broke a promise to my wife that im going to talk to her about this weekend.

my biggest "problem" is i actually care about all of you, so much so that i lose sleep over some things. thats gone on for five years and its why i am very reserved about things. hype, advertising, wild claims, overt pushing of the group in this thread etc etc etc.

i love this place and i love the people that are behind it and i will never speak badly of them but i will tell you what i think about the forum.

forex factory has/is making some terrible mistakes in my opinion and i wont stay unless it stops.

im just a regular guy here and i dont feel high and mighty in any way, shape or form but if my tenure here means anything to them then im gonna try my best to get there attention.

forex factory DOES NOT have to go down the same road that moneytec did just for the sake of "business"

moneytec died a slow ugly death due to its total disregard of its decent members and allowing dirtbags to take over.

moneytec is now on the rebound because it finally woke up and cleaned house.

will forex factory go down the same road?

i have 5 years invested here and i wont watch it go down without fighting to get someone to wake up and reverse the current course.

i asked him if he was scared and he stared off for a moment and said he really didnt think about dying.

he said i was 20 years old. if i had been in that plane at 40 i would have died of a heart attack from fear.

i thought that was profound.

i dont know but i personally should be deader than a door nail based on the stuff i did when i was 20.

i had no fear of death.

now i pray every night that i can just live long enough to see my boys raised and off to a good life. i worry all the time i wont get that time.

scott may be my personal most respected person here. him and some of the other old timers like jarroo. dont want to miss anyone but you know who you are.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

IF YOU CARE ABOUT THIS PLACE ITS TIME TO STAND UP.

I AM GOING TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING REQUEST.

IF YOU AGREE WITH SCOTT USE THE CONTACT US LINK AT THE BOTTOM AND MAKE YOUR OPINION KNOWN.

IF WELL WORDED COMPLAING IS NOT YOUR USUAL CUP OF TEA THEN SUCK IT UP AND DO IT FOR THE TEAM.

BE KIND. BE STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. DONT DO IT BECAUSE I ASKED. DO IT BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE WHAT SCOTT IS SAYING HERE IS TRUE AND YOU WANT THIS PLACE TO REMAIN DECENT.

CMON LETS ROLL.

they are based to a LARGE DEGREE ON THE BASICS OF WHAT I TEACH YOU GUYS BUT THEY ARE ALSO BASED ON 25 YEARS OF WATCHING PRICE AND CHARTS AND "KNOWING" WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT.

(oops sorry i hit the caps button)

thats what the post you quoted is saying.

i cant teach that "knowing" part.

that comes from playing the game for decades.

yeah houston is full of idiots. so is dallas.

sorry to be so blunt but arent all big cities like that?

most good hard working people leave mostly for safety reasons.

cant blame them.

the born in poverty line wont work here also.

if you want to better your life, get a job and raise a family you can. you just leave that crap.

educational level wont hurt you, color wont hurt you etc etc.

its there if you want it.

saying you cant get out of the hood here is BS.

if your 'STUCK' in a crime ridden city here its your choice and not someone elses fault.

i would put a million dollars on a bet i could get a job somewhere here in one day.

The only place in Texas I don't like much is Houston. People there are a little too crazy for my taste. Too much traffic and road rage

i dont know what to tell you my friend.

they are based to a LARGE DEGREE ON THE BASICS OF WHAT I TEACH YOU GUYS BUT THEY ARE ALSO BASED ON 25 YEARS OF WATCHING PRICE AND CHARTS AND "KNOWING" WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT.

(oops sorry i hit the caps button)

thats what the post you quoted is saying.

i cant teach that "knowing" part.

that comes from playing the game for decades.

well it aint perfect especially in the large cities but thats true anywhere.

for those of you that actually try to support yourself instead of letting the govmt do it for you paying huge state taxes, no jobs, high living expenses this would seem like heaven to you.

i promise,

i watch this with an interesting eye and it closes within a few minutes.

dont sweat it just plan for it.

i know there are the refco's of the world folks but in over 25 years of using brokers i have never had one serious problem.

most of my trading is not done there but my experience with ibfx has been great. (knock on wood)

maybe i have been lucky.

i hear what your saying que. it would throw a wrench in some gap methods thats for sure.

i think the best way to play gaps is when the gap gets closed and the closing point is at a pivot zone.

just thought i would throw that in.

Its the cost of doing business, and I need to shut up now....

Anyhow, I hope everyone had a great trading week. This week is at an end. I have moved my stop on that EU trade to within 30 pips of where we are now and going to let it run over the weekend. EU generally does not gap very large and I still see some potential...

great post.

i have told this story before but i will tell it again.

my wifes grandfather flew in those 24's stationed out of england.

out of 44 bomber squads 40 of them did not come home.

when you completed 34 missions you were thru.

4 squads out of 44 came thru the 34 alive.

i asked him what the hardest part was and i swear on his grave this is what he said.

"bombing on xmas eve knowing there were kids down there."

he passed 2 years ago.

i totally agree with your post and its very hard for me to keep my mouth shut when it comes to those subjects.

one last thing and i will let this go.

for 5 years i have been MR. NO HYPE and thats not going to change.

do i trade with a large account? yes.

do i take 4 trades in one day on a normal basis? hell no.

is this unusual? hell yes.

its common for me to take less than 5 or 10 forex trades in a month.

posting those trades made me very uncomfortable and to be honest broke a promise to my wife that im going to talk to her about this weekend.

my biggest "problem" is i actually care about all of you, so much so that i lose sleep over some things. thats gone on for five years and its why i am very reserved about things. hype, advertising, wild claims, overt pushing of the group in this thread etc etc etc.

i love this place and i love the people that are behind it and i will never speak badly of them but i will tell you what i think about the forum.

forex factory has/is making some terrible mistakes in my opinion and i wont stay unless it stops.

im just a regular guy here and i dont feel high and mighty in any way, shape or form but if my tenure here means anything to them then im gonna try my best to get there attention.

forex factory DOES NOT have to go down the same road that moneytec did just for the sake of "business"

moneytec died a slow ugly death due to its total disregard of its decent members and allowing dirtbags to take over.

moneytec is now on the rebound because it finally woke up and cleaned house.

will forex factory go down the same road?

i have 5 years invested here and i wont watch it go down without fighting to get someone to wake up and reverse the current course.

i asked him if he was scared and he stared off for a moment and said he really didnt think about dying.

he said i was 20 years old. if i had been in that plane at 40 i would have died of a heart attack from fear.

i thought that was profound.

i dont know but i personally should be deader than a door nail based on the stuff i did when i was 20.

i had no fear of death.

now i pray every night that i can just live long enough to see my boys raised and off to a good life. i worry all the time i wont get that time.

never if i can get my beloved forex factory to get there act together.

being diplomatic about it is getting very difficult for me and they may be asking me to leave before its all over.

seems like the cart is before the horse around here but i know one thing.

if i ever start a forum assholes, idiots, trolls and mean people in general wont even get 2 chances.

have you ever heard of a succesful daily chart trade with an initial stop that tight?

you have now and you can do it also.

btw for those of you that are convinced brokers are out to get you this was a 35 lot trade.

if they were stop hunting i am the kind of guy they would try to get with my tight stops.

i like ibfx. they have never shown me anything that even remotely caused me to suspect them of anything underhanded.

When the DVD is published I'll send you a copy. I know you'll get a kick out of the fact that during most of the scenes my blackberry in my pocket had the chart thread up on it.

great post.

i have told this story before but i will tell it again.

my wifes grandfather flew in those 24's stationed out of england.

out of 44 bomber squads 40 of them did not come home.

when you completed 34 missions you were thru.

4 squads out of 44 came thru the 34 alive.

i asked him what the hardest part was and i swear on his grave this is what he said.

"bombing on xmas eve knowing there were kids down there."

he passed 2 years ago.

i totally agree with your post and its very hard for me to keep my mouth shut when it comes to those subjects.

one last thing and i will let this go.

for 5 years i have been MR. NO HYPE and thats not going to change.

do i trade with a large account? yes.

do i take 4 trades in one day on a normal basis? hell no.

is this unusual? hell yes.

its common for me to take less than 5 or 10 forex trades in a month.

posting those trades made me very uncomfortable and to be honest broke a promise to my wife that im going to talk to her about this weekend.

my biggest "problem" is i actually care about all of you, so much so that i lose sleep over some things. thats gone on for five years and its why i am very reserved about things. hype, advertising, wild claims, overt pushing of the group in this thread etc etc etc.

i love this place and i love the people that are behind it and i will never speak badly of them but i will tell you what i think about the forum.

forex factory has/is making some terrible mistakes in my opinion and i wont stay unless it stops.

im just a regular guy here and i dont feel high and mighty in any way, shape or form but if my tenure here means anything to them then im gonna try my best to get there attention.

forex factory DOES NOT have to go down the same road that moneytec did just for the sake of "business"

moneytec died a slow ugly death due to its total disregard of its decent members and allowing dirtbags to take over.

moneytec is now on the rebound because it finally woke up and cleaned house.

will forex factory go down the same road?

i have 5 years invested here and i wont watch it go down without fighting to get someone to wake up and reverse the current course.

several of you sent me charts from trading the mini dow this week on tick charts i showed you.

congrats on your fantastic success.

i nailed the dow this week also.

i asked him if he was scared and he stared off for a moment and said he really didnt think about dying.

he said i was 20 years old. if i had been in that plane at 40 i would have died of a heart attack from fear.

i thought that was profound.

i dont know but i personally should be deader than a door nail based on the stuff i did when i was 20.

i had no fear of death.

now i pray every night that i can just live long enough to see my boys raised and off to a good life. i worry all the time i wont get that time.

scott may be my personal most respected person here. him and some of the other old timers like jarroo. dont want to miss anyone but you know who you are.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

IF YOU CARE ABOUT THIS PLACE ITS TIME TO STAND UP.

I AM GOING TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING REQUEST.

IF YOU AGREE WITH SCOTT USE THE CONTACT US LINK AT THE BOTTOM AND MAKE YOUR OPINION KNOWN.

IF WELL WORDED COMPLAING IS NOT YOUR USUAL CUP OF TEA THEN SUCK IT UP AND DO IT FOR THE TEAM.

BE KIND. BE STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. DONT DO IT BECAUSE I ASKED. DO IT BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE WHAT SCOTT IS SAYING HERE IS TRUE AND YOU WANT THIS PLACE TO REMAIN DECENT.

CMON LETS ROLL.

i watch this with an interesting eye and it closes within a few minutes.

dont sweat it just plan for it.

i know there are the refco's of the world folks but in over 25 years of using brokers i have never had one serious problem.

most of my trading is not done there but my experience with ibfx has been great. (knock on wood)

maybe i have been lucky.

i hear what your saying que. it would throw a wrench in some gap methods thats for sure.

i think the best way to play gaps is when the gap gets closed and the closing point is at a pivot zone.

just thought i would throw that in.

Its the cost of doing business, and I need to shut up now....

never if i can get my beloved forex factory to get there act together.

being diplomatic about it is getting very difficult for me and they may be asking me to leave before its all over.

seems like the cart is before the horse around here but i know one thing.

if i ever start a forum assholes, idiots, trolls and mean people in general wont even get 2 chances.

triple top with divergence.

have you ever heard of a succesful daily chart trade with an initial stop that tight?

you have now and you can do it also.

practice, practice and more practice.

btw for those of you that are convinced brokers are out to get you this was a 35 lot trade.

if they were stop hunting i am the kind of guy they would try to get with my tight stops.

i like ibfx. they have never shown me anything that even remotely caused me to suspect them of anything underhanded.

I read the thread and PF between takes on set the other day. Will probably do the same tomorrow.

When the DVD is published I'll send you a copy. I know you'll get a kick out of the fact that during most of the scenes my blackberry in my pocket had the chart thread up on it.

it was just a support entry. no big deal.

i dont always trade with pa.

i just felt like this area had proven itself to be a probable launching point after so many failed attempts to go lower.

i trade like this a lot but ive been doing it for many many years.

you learn the game by playing the game.

i swear i love that quote and its the key many of you are looking for.

it just takes time, practice and dedication.

mike is exactly right.

the key to this trade was the big 00 number above it and the 150 ema.

my stop would have been at breakeven at the point it reached those levels and some profit taken.

we then watch and wait but we do it at no further risk to our account.

what this did was not unusual at all and im pissed i missed it.

many times i miss these and i think its age.

i swear i dont remember "seeing" this as i was going thru my charts and to make matters worse it was at the end of a very profitable short trade i was in on this pair from the last couple of days.

maybe that why i missed it.

Time and experience is what comes next. Sometimes you get the runner, sometimes you don't, sometimes you move your stop up and you get taken out, other times you don't. Isn't the one trade that matters,...

i guess ive said this a thousand times but i will say it again.

its the crap on your charts that is killing most of you.

you win at this game by understanding price.

you understand price by playing the game until you know what its going to do.

once you know what its going to do you can accept small losses knowing that they dont have a snowballs chance in hell of stopping the upward curve of your account balance.

i do ok but all of you would be shocked at how modestly i live.

thats about to change soon as my wife has finally after 20 years found somewhere she wants to live thats not cheap, relativly speaking.

a hint would be the jonas brothers. why do i shudder at that?

honestly though the govmt gets close to half so i actually trade until may for them.

BOY IS THIS THE TRUTH.

i went thru the bozo thing for a long long time. here is the uc trade im way way up on as well as the eu and a couple others but i took a loss on the uj last night for around 20 pips.

that small a loss doesnt bother me. big ones bother me so i dont allow them to happen.
