Wow... It is amazing how pain killers affect ones thinking. The last paragraph In my last post isn't such a great idea. It reflects a very greedy type of reasoning. Look (I need tell myself) there are unknown bad days and well known bad days. Why ...

Today is the MPC Meeting Minutes release day. Original rules urge that you NOT TRADE today. I will be following how things evolve though, and will post a chart. It isn't the worst day to trade, especially in the current environment, but the ...

19 January 2010 - Winner

TSF Mavin

TSF Mavin posted a win for today, filling a buy stop order sometime during the 6:30am GMT bar and achieving Take Profit (20 pips) sometime during the 7 am GMT bar. This was a good example of how the method preserves a "reasonable" entry position ...

I have buy stop orders in place at 148.65. These have not triggered and price has sort of danced away for the moment. The TSF-19 has ducked under the rest of the TSF ribbon, so the method does not allow us to improve our order position even if a bar ...

It's my impression that if price continues down from here, it will be awhile (2-6 bars?) before things can get in alignment again to qualify a buy trade. Mind you, that doesn't mean price won't move up... it very possibly could, but the higher ...

TSF Mavin is indicating a bias for an up trade at this point in time. Indeed, had any of the previous three 30 minute bars managed to close up we would have buy stop orders pending... However, the market has been steadily retracing since the 12:30 ...

Cool! The move was strong enough to power and provide me a win even though I entered late. Another 20 pip win for the method then, and a winner for my late entry too... And a quiet night to follow, as I'm done for the day. I'll post a chart when I ...

Take profit was just achieved for the fully qualified position.

A fully qualified bar closed about an hour ago. Price advanced to a possible positive 11 pips and has fallen back a little bit from there. I was away and couldn't enter at the proper time. I've since entered a trade of my own. The qualified entry ...

Well... Editing back posts only works if you do it within a day of the posting. So unfortunately I can't go back and fix all of those previous posts. I think I can always go back and fix the first... And I'll probably get around to that eventually, ...

Blast from the past: December 1,2,3,4 from 2009. NOTE: I have been incorrectly counting 1 Dec 2009 as a win in my calculations up to this point. It is in fact a "valid" loss... And I did get a loss on that day, so I don't know why I messed it up. I ...

Blast from the past: 4 January 2010 -- I just noticed I never put this one up... For your viewing pleasure.

I'm having some computer problems and so I won't be getting the chart up until later.

Take Profit Achieved! -- Officially 20 wins and 1 loss, with previous caveats for xmas and new years and anouncement days. Oh and net pips for that are now 349. I'll post the chart in my morning. Cheers everybody, and pips for all!

Sorry about the lag. I got busy with some other things... But the trade is on. Sell Stop orders were placed at the close of the 4:30 am GMT bar, at 148.73. Take profit is therefore 148.53, Stoploss is 149.25. Price is currently hovering around ...

Really amazing sometimes. Even after all of these bullish bars, if we just get this bar to close as a bear, we will have a confirmed setup and place sell stop orders. But we're still waiting. If it doesn't come now, I think we'll be waiting for the ...

TSF Mavin

Well that bar didn't work out for the setup... But the same story holds for this (3:30am) bar. If it closes down we'll have a valid sell stop setup.
