benji533 replied Sep 7, 2009Hey squeezy, Here you go... I'll now move my stop a few pips below the round number. Good chance it will hit it and bounce again, so I am ready to take a very small lose and see what happens. The main trend is up, and the 0.85000 is an historic key ...

benji533 replied Sep 7, 2009Yea, the ides will always remain the same. PA with S$R - only different styles of doing it. Like you say, it's trading breakouts and reversals, which I have other and more comfortable ways (for me) to do that. This way of thinking can be better for ...

benji533 replied Sep 5, 2009Hey Eclipse, I can't see the whole chart, but from here it seems like trading against a very sharp move down. It can be also just a pause bar, rather than a reserval bar IMO. I also would like to see the bar itself much bigger, or at least the close ...
