LasVahGoose replied Nov 20, 2008Manage Trade — My MT4 chart showed a valid DIBS trade short on the 06:00 GMT open candle, so I went short. I realized that Oanda didn't match having an IB, but it appears to have worked out. Price seems stalled at the 61.8 fibo that I have ...

LasVahGoose replied Nov 20, 2008Nice trade. I can't really tell by looking at your chart, but on my chart the IB you took short was above the Daily Open, which by the rules means you wouldn't take short you would be looking to go long. At 07:00 GMT there was an IB with a trigger ...

LasVahGoose replied Nov 19, 2008GJ DIBS — Went off the 5GMT DIB long on GJ. Took 1:1 R/R and in free trade now. Some resistance around 145.90 - 146.21. Might TP just under that. Similar play on GU pair, but didn't have the funds to play.

LasVahGoose replied Nov 18, 2008I've been watching the GU and haven't pulled the trigger yet. Looking for some kind of break. Light Blue Fib = large down trend Yellow = s/r line Price has come up the 38.2 fibo (lt. blue) not sure if it will break it or not and now the Yellow ...

LasVahGoose replied Nov 17, 2008Excellent point, I guess I've over thinking it all and second guessing myself. You're right, go with the direction DIBS says.

LasVahGoose replied Nov 17, 2008s/r gu — Did I draw this S/R line correctly? Yellow line on GU chart 1H. Looks like Resistance has turned support or is it too soon to make that call?

LasVahGoose replied Nov 17, 2008Hello, I'm still reading through the tread and learning to trade. I was wondering how do you tell if a movement is just a retracement or a "permanent" i.e. long term trend change? Specifically, on the GBP/USD pair. Looking at Daily / Weekly / ...

LasVahGoose replied Nov 17, 2008I'm still learning and only trading for 4 weeks now, I was thinking short. My thinking was the larger timeframe trends were going lower overall and like you said there is that resistance at the 98.46 - 98.57 levels. I drew my fibo's the other ...

LasVahGoose replied Nov 13, 2008Yeah, I was stopped on this pair and stopped out many times on other pairs cuz I took a lot of trades in both directions. Dumb moves on my part and I paid for it.

LasVahGoose replied Nov 11, 2008Understood, I was looking at the IB that had the green and red lines off of it and thought that was the IB you took, but I see now it was one of the IB's later in the day. 76/78% on the GU pair? I'd not heard that before, I'm going to look for that ...

LasVahGoose replied Nov 11, 2008I took the gpdusd on a mini lot (10% of my account I know, I know, I broke my trading rule), but it paid off since there was a lot of confluence that seemed to scream going down down down. Hit 1:1 R/R, and free trade the rest and TP @ around the ...

LasVahGoose replied Nov 10, 2008My rule — I'm a noob trading for a short time, but I'll play a trigger candle up to 3 candles (4 max maybe). Ultimately the best trade, it has been mentioned, is when the next candle after the IB takes off either long or short.
