I'm sure most everyone has already seen this, but I thought it so nice that I just had to post it: video Jim Rogers rants on (Merlin, sounds like your cup of tea, no? ) Seems like it's him on the other side of Fxorce's buy buy buy! The battle ...

fannie and freddie are insolvent

Just to show it doesn't have to be complicated (I read tons of posts like "up and down on GJ, crazy" and "how can anyone trade this"). I think we struggle a lot because we're so used to "late" things influencing us...crossovers, signals, ...

Lets Talk GBP/JPY "the geppy"

This was revised along the line, but not posted here. Rode part of the way up to there along, was quite fun to actually get paid swap for once I keep track of all this stuff in my own scratchbook that is my journal only(where else?). Sketched out ...

Lets Talk GBP/JPY "the geppy"

Since I have no clue beyond what information is supplied (naked vs normal borrow-shorting) and I am unfamiliar with the backgrounds of order types and stock trading, could someone please take a few lines to tell/explain to me why something like this ...

Scary. Still has a lot of that bad taste I get from seeing a lot of my early stuff. There's a certain tinge of, er, let's call it "undeserved ego" back when, that really rubs me wrong when I read it now. (Not that I've fully got that under control ...

‘Taxpayers have not put up their money to fund the government to be a venture capitalist, particularly as they are going to be buying up the scum end of the market.’ - Lord James of Blackheath (1938-) Awesomest most awesome quote ever in the current ...

I have a request. For anyone reading or re-reading the thread, if you have the time, would you copy/paste links you find of central interest out and collect them? Just open notepad alongside and copy down the post links with a word or two. Instead ...

I did. It was a terrible, sloppy mess and zones were violated a lot due to all the thrashing down there. But on the other hand, these levels, as you said, have been "used" for years and after watching price move through and react at some of these ...

You tell me this is anything less than awesome once you "get it". Again there were no surprises here. 1 We pin on top of the broken=>retested descending trendline and right on top of one of our lower support areas. After the pin, which wasn't that ...

Thanks TRT. I was actually quietly hoping most of this would just silently seep through the cracks to those who actually read and understood the infinite yield PDF and just leave the rest to go on with adding Bollinger Bands and 1:1 take profit ...

No Free Lunch but all the Free Coffee you can drink

Well I'd argue that you'd be hard pressed to find someone saying downtrend when they see higher lows and higher highs, saying that support held when price closes 50 points below it, and saying the EURUSD looks weak because it's rising. On the other ...

EUR/USD Trading Room

I've just had the usual "gee, isn't this always fun to see" moment comparing several sources today. First thing I read: chronic and possibly terrible generalized USD weakness the next 6 months. Could get bad, etc. Next thing I read: Gross Likes ...

EUR/USD Trading Room

I feel like I'm writing a rant a day lately. I hate to do it in this thread, but I'm getting fed up with this kind of behavior. IMHO it's just so much trolling. There's one or two guys in particular who seem to love to instigate randy "statement, ...

Raczek practices an aggressive "on touch" PPZ style that I've marveled at since I started reading the thread. He's posted pictures of and explained this on this thread several times over time. Over at J16 there's a subsection of his in which he has ...

I can only think of the above options. If you rule those out, you would have to come up with a trailing stop that has proven functional for you and it will be wherever that says accordingly. Coolies, have the beach chairs ready for when I come ...

Trading Aussie Jacko Style

I just wanted to add to FXP that there's one thing always true: Trading can be dirt simple, but for almost anyone(starting out) it is NEVER easy. This isn't because the trading bit isn't possible(or possible to be easy); it's because people aren't ...

james16 Chart Thread

I wouldn't mind it either given the correlations. But I'm still worried about the "proximity" to the s/r zones still and the divergence. Oddly enough, the DJI doesn't seem as affected(barely new lows on MACD on daily/weekly) as the DAX and S&P(both ...

Raz asked me to post my 3 chart sequence I posted basically live / as it happened to my journal over at the James16 site here as well. So here goes. Be aware this has nothing to do with jacko's approach and only the BUOB at the very low was the PA ...
