clockwork71 replied May 11, 2009I know what you are saying. To be honest, I think this pair is due for a pullback, so I am watching for another short myself. I would like to see P.A. at 1.20 or so????

clockwork71 replied May 9, 2009My personal opinion is that we may be ripe for a pullback, not a short. You do have a little area there, but I see it as minor, and wouldn't worry about that level. I agree with the other poster that 80 is where it wants to go at the moment.

clockwork71 replied May 7, 2009Getting comfortable with your 200 pip profits actually IS a hurdle to get past. I know it doesn't sound possible to someone that doesn't get those runs, but it's kind of hard to give up 80 pips at the end of a 500 pip run....if you are used to 30 ...

clockwork71 replied May 6, 2009i got whipped out of the AUD, it happens. As far as GBPUSD, I am not overly sold on it yet.....if you look back, this area isn't a super clear one, it's a bit choppy just above it. I'm not that impressed to be honest. With the stress-test coming out ...

clockwork71 replied May 5, 2009Lagging indicators have no real use in my method. Of course, you could explain why 55 days average means anything? Why not 20 which is a trading month? Or 40 for 2? 233? Doesn't mean anything.

clockwork71 replied May 5, 2009Think of it this way: I wouldn't let it go against me. In a perfect world, you are way up right now, and can put your stop loss just below the bar. But always remember this: Job number 1 is protect your trading funds. If you set a stop at b/e and ...

clockwork71 replied May 5, 2009It depends, although you should always be at a weekly area, so it should be one and the same. But I think this is what you are referring to: If as an example, ten pips above your bar to short is a random number, like.....1.4991, I prefer to put ...

clockwork71 replied May 5, 2009I agree with this post, but let me explain how I look at things, to cut through clutter: Taking your scenario of a weakening Euro, I would start looking at shorting it in general, yes.....but it just shows me a general direction. Remember, I wait ...
