While I agree that no one should trade ANY system blindly, I'm confused by your comments above. What I saw today was a breach of the demand line in cable, in combination with a downtrend/correction. I shorted this morning and got stopped out with ...

Hi Narafa - Glad you didn't misinterpret my post - nothing worse than posting something with good intentions and making someone angry! I can see how you would think I work for TS, but I do not - the firm I work for is primarily a fixed income ...

I see, said the blind man... — Ahh, I see what you mean! That is a nice setup. Man, this difference between charting platforms really kills me - for example, I chart using a demo account with MT4, but demo trade using an oanda account - the ...

Habeeb - Thanks for the reply - I have the 4-hour chart attached below...only thing is, my beautiful pin bar from the one hour chart didn't travel too well to the higher timeframe. The bars I've numbered occur around the approximate time of the ...
