Just to keep u all posted on developments - I'm running on demo for 6 months with no live trades to fully test and accept my style and plan. So far I have still been reticent to trade some set-ups and I've reviewed this and found that I was not ...

NzdJpy short in the offing! Almost a doji but it's where this candle forms and why that's important. Yen may be strengthening across the board.

Not sure....don't forget the market was wrong footed on Friday's figures. All the economists got it wrong again. I always pay more notice of the last bar and what that tells me. The bullish action the week before could have been caused by the banks' ...

soso - I used to do what you are doing - checking in at 2000 for candle patterns but then I realised that I was not trading as per my plan. My plan is to trade the daily chart so in essence I don't give a rats ar$e what happens to the charts until ...

Hi Lou - I love line charts for simplicity and they help me ID trend breakdowns better. I see you do the same thing marking the last low of the up or last high of the down trend. This is for people that see charts on the horizontal plane as apposed ...

I'd be afraid of the RR Ratio cause 92.00 is too close Alexandra?

Cadyen showing a nice BEEB/BEOB on the daily - this could be a good trade back down to the UP TL as it's a 2nd LH after the TL break. One to watch as posted earlier this week. Grim

I only use them for charting - not as my broker. I chart with FxPro and ODL and then use ETX or IgIndex for my SB company. If you read up more about MT4 you'll find that there are some sinister broker applications that the programme allows them to ...

Blackeagle - I would not consider a short on that pair until such time we have had a TL break and test of the trend's extreme. I have been looking for a reliable way to stop me 'counter-trend' trading at tops and bottoms (ego driven newbie idiocy) ...

Hi Clifton, you'll find the answer later on in the thread but it's up to you and your lifestyle. Personally, I use FxPro (based in Cyrpus) as their bars close at 2200 UK time (which coincides with the NY close).

The market loves to test a break out and this could be a very deep test of the initial break out from the lows period of consolidation? There is a level there on your chart not marked that could provide support (circa 75.00) IMO.

Now, I'm not picking tops here at all. I'm just trying to fathom a chart and what it shows with a few TL breaks and some candle patterns. This way, either way down steam, we can discuss the outcome. Sorry for the Brooks mention Strat, its a chart ...

[/I] Bones, thanks for your contribution. Apologies Strat if this is taking us into the realms of indicators temporarily. Bones, firstly, you will always be the doctor on Startrek. Secondly, i've been experimenting with MACD as per J16, for the last ...

The short would have only been on once a confirmed swing high was put in. In the case of this pair it never was. The top of the IB was taken out and up she went. It can only be a double top once PA has confirmed the second swing high and has started ...

No need to say sorry Strat! I enjoy and learn more, much more when you bollock me - must be the Mil trg methods that I respond to best. I have to admit that I have come across new found freedoms since my last bollocking for reading too much market ...

Hmmm - Boss and Big Boss still in a major down trend but currently in minor up trend. Boss shows PA caught in the Big Boss 20/50 Trap..hmmm Could be a classic top setting up. We had a strong TL break after a 20ema Big Boss kiss, which then bounced ...

Slightly off topic but journal related! I'm trying to use the 'IF' command for my Excel journal. When I take the closing level from the opening leve (for total pips difference) I need to differentiate between profit and loss relative to the account ...
