Sorry to hear your angst on this issue Strat and the fact that you considered closing the thread. I can understand your vexation though as I know a few 'thread starters' that went 'private' for pretty much the same reasons (vermin, freeloaders, dark ...

Hi John, I wouldn't have said you went wrong etc it's just when I looked at the chart I just tried to 'read' each bar to fully understand what was going on. Not saying I'm right by any means - just my interpretation of events. Now that I've checked ...

Thanks for the chart John, Some interesting things on that chart for 'seeing beyond the candles' and some good indication of the strength of the 20ema. On Nov 2 we have a candle that gapped up above the previous bar and the ema. Early traders would ...

Not so old chap - in times of stress people dump the risky high yielding assets and flock back to the safety of the US $. If you look at the FTSE chart from about 2 weeks ago you could almost see this coming. Kinda H&S Pattern with a trend channel ...

I've not even been interested in Trading this week - like Strat said, it's a major US holiday today and a half day tomorrow. The Big boys will not be out and most of these moves will doubtless be faded when they return. I treat this week like an NFP ...

Hi BlackEagle I've been watching this pair very closely too over the past few weeks. I didn't post a chart as I wanted to prevent myself and others from picking tops/bottoms so I too, wanted to see a full trend reversal before saying anything. I ...

Not quite Strat - just sold some underperforming mutual funds! Be very careful, Danny boy, your psyche (emotions) have NOT been tested. Demo trading only builds confidence in you, the technicals and your method. It does NOT exercise that which does ...

Well, I now have the funds for the proper starting account size; If I'm in profit at the end of this month in my demo account then I'm committed to go-live; strange thing is that I feel different this time and I'm not rushing to trade - I would even ...

Don't forget about those Black Swans! Hence why one should always use a stop. These are the things the chart will not tell you -something to just keep an eye on that's all! url

Hmm - been watching this for a few weeks now too. Pennant forming but is it a continuation pattern or was the high a lower high from the high back in Aug 09? The MAs are all flat so there could be an explosive move but I hate gbpyen so I'm just ...

As Alexandra said, many of the commodity pairs look very 'toppy' with double top bear flags a possibility on audusd and audjpy. nzdusd shows a LH from the peak and PA has closed below the up TL and SR level at 0.7457. Be careful taking any counter ...

Hanging Men - they are aptly named - as most hang most men out to dry!! Remember, on the day they would have been seen as the right most bar on the chart. Hindsight is wonderful of course!
