I'd agree Flem with all the above. Natty Gas is a sod to trade and the guys that trade it and other commods are experts in the ONE commod that they trade. They have twitter accounts and other comms methods that circumnavigate the normal procedures ...

Hahah!! How I laughed at this line! So very, very true I'm sad to report. Back to Operations and the Supply Chain study - lots to learn - and from bad trades too!

Thanks for the Analysis Strat - I think my flaw was it was late on Sunday and I didn't really study my own chart and what it was telling me. As PA was above the MAs I thought I had some safety there too and I was also watching oil as CAD has mostly ...

I thought I'd share a losing trade with you all for analysis. I traded long usdcad on the second hammer. I have often seen this 'bond' hammers go on and give handsome rewards. Like Strat, I waited on the first hammer for another positive sign and a ...

Gwer2004 - I'd ditch the zig-zag cr@p - you don't need that to tell you where the swings are surely? Hammers should only really be taken at the bottom of moves or at a strong rising TL after a small bear flag. Try not to take EVERY candle the market ...

EuroDude - nice DSRI line there! Will be watching with interest - don't forget the roller-coaster that is NFP reports this Friday. Best advice is to be flat going into any usd trades that day and pick up from the carnage on Monday's close.

Great trade and good management Patrick - you should be proud of this trade. Make sure you log it, reasons for entry and addition etc for reflection downstream. I was in this trade but I came out at first resistance so hat off to you for some ...

Hey Strat! Long time no converse! I see you are coming to the UK then? Well, the weather is due to be good so you should be OK there. Zero-Alpha is Welsh hey? What with you being a 'porridge-wog' as we so eloquently call them here in England and the ...

Bund Long?? Just two poss set-ups that caught my eye this evening. FTSE looks bearish too when combined with this inverse correlation (Bund). FTSE at 61% retrace from 'Flash Crash' and rejected the broken major Up Trend line. One to watch.

Not at all my friend - glad to be of service. I also used to write out a weekly journal but I found it too time consuming and not that easy to use as a quick reference guide in the week. I'm glad that you find it of use - makes the whole process ...

Hi Jideck. I use Neutral when I have no bias, based on sideways trading, no weekly candle action that gets me interested, controlling candle low/high not having been activated etc; this way I only colour red or green when there is a reason for doing ...

Love it! Always great to see the old Strat back on form. This is why I allow myself a quick check in every night apres studies!! Price IS King. I'm starting to wonder if I even want my MAs anymore as I feel they can be a distraction from price too. ...

Great reminder there Strat. I looked at this pair and I was thinking the same. It's been on the watchlist for a few months but I would only trade it once the high of the hammer had been broken and then tested or a HL put in. Bottom and top feeding ...

Hi PistolDave! Thanks old chap. I'm undergoing some new education so my postings will be somewhat limited for the next 2 years. I still pop in and check the thread at the weekends and the odd comment should I see fit! Hope all goes well; back to ...

But...If you look at the 'peaks' in the COT charts and then juxtapose those with that of your MT4 charts you'll be able to see the positioning of the major players and when the trade becomes too one-sided. This is when the big moves often occur. The ...
