Understood, I was only joking with you, anyway. I'm sure it is a case-by-case type of thing. I know for sure it is not an "if X, then Y" type of approach, which encourages me. And it is very much appreciated And I wouldn't expect any different. If ...

Based on your posts in the "Smexy Trades" thread, I think you're pretty well down the road On a side note, if you keep posting your trades there, I'm eventually going to figure out how you decide which levels to fade and which levels you pass on.

Haha, and it got broken only a few minutes after I posted that.

Great addition, Magic. I'm watching the 1.4430 level as IFR is reporting barriers there with a large payout (and price keeps getting defended at the 1.4420 level). Given what I've learned recently, if it isn't broken before London closes, I doubt ...

Monroe, I wanted to go back to this post. Over the past couple weeks, I have been watching what happens as barriers get taken out and re-reading Darkstar's example in the "Stating the Obvious..." thread. A ton of things started coming together for ...

Good point here, forexpenguin. When I first started reading DS's posts, I was hoping for an "if x then y" system, but I never figured out how to make it happen. Originally, that frustrated me, but now it encourages me. Now I know that when I do ...

Calm down, hilmy. I hope you're joking about blowing off a stop. Don't let your emotions take over. There will be more setups later.

Yeah, unfortunately I was asleep while it happened.

Oh, ok. Yeah, the combination of the rumors and the rejections is how I knew it was there. Yes. The only clues I know to look for are what he cited in that example he gave. Common technical patterns: higher highs/lows, pinbar, etc. Other than that, ...

Sorry, I must have misunderstood. When you asked "How did you know it was there?" I thought you were asking me how I knew it was there.

Saw the first rumor here: url Then about a half hour later it got rejected at 1.0292 or so, then saw this: url Then it got rejected again at the same spot, and I was pretty convinced that it's true. Now it's just a matter of deciding when to ...

Well that was disappointing. Up until 12:15 it didn't look much different from Darkstar's example (here), but then it just crashed at 12:15. I'm still not sure where I'm going wrong.

I'm aware that the constant talk about exotic options annoys some of you, but I just wanted to point out that it looks like the AUD/USD is trying to take out 1.0300 (there is rumored to be an exotic option tied to that level).

I figured I might try to provide a live example of what I'm struggling with most right now. EUR/USD is within about 15 pips of the 4200 barrier right now (part of a 1.3500/1.4200 DNT that expires in mid-May). I'm certainly not going to enter anytime ...

Louie, I wanted to go back to this old post because I've since heard that "TC" means "Tokyo cut". The "transferable contract" explanation came from someone at Oanda and the "Tokyo cut" answer came from IFR, so I would be inclined to believe the ...

This might be a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway because I'm not too proud to ask. Let's say (hypothetically) that last week before the USD/JPY made its huge drop/rebound, that I had a sell order below the market where I knew there were a lot ...
