This screams sell. And that's how the market will sit in front of most retail traders. The daily is just as bad. Crossed the 50 MA and 100 MA, there's a head and shoulders pattern on the hourly, I'm saving this picture because I want to review what ...

The cake is a lie. Erm. The trend. That's what's a lie. The cake is delicious and just right around that corner... Come to think of it, the trend is too. Nothing to see here folks. I might have been up too long trading and am now delirious. That ...

I left a lot of money on the table with my impatience. I should've waited to see what would happen, realize that the up move was temporary to eliminate the volatility and then go short at the top of the trading range. But whatever, I've profited a ...

This was the result. They grabbed a bunch of orders right before the upswing so fast there was no way to possibly get into the market there. I shorted this the instant that whatever happened...happened. Ireally should've waited for some more ...

I bet this retreats in a neat and orderly fashion... It's hard to say what I just witnessed. I know the gap up wasn't intentional but it tipped the scales of supply and demand. There should be a huge increase in volatility over the next couple hours ...

I finally caught the move I was trying to catch this morning. I was trading against the trend and volatility was low, which I think is why I failed so hard last night. Market conditions were rough for me because for some reason I was trying to catch ...

I think I understand. What I do requires a reasonable amount of volatility. The reason yesterday went so well is because of the gap and the scramble of traders to take advantage of it. I forgot a very important part of my plan- trade between 11p and ...

I just suffered a series of drawdowns trying to get into this market. My account is still positive by quite a bit, but after a series of losses and feeling like not knowing where the market is going, I'm going to step away want watch it develop ...

Hold onto your butts, this is going down. I'm short at the very tippy top. And one wasn't enough. After a series of confirmations, I took an extra position. So this is either a ridiculously good winner or an easy to swallow loser. I'm not sure now, ...

My VSA journal

Saw this developing and rode it up. Just closed it. I lost .8% thanks to a tight stop loss I set so I could wash dishes. I'll be waiting for confirmation that this is a valid trendline, but either way, I'm expecting a little side action followed by ...

My VSA journal

I didn't explain theprevious bar. Why it was important. Volume was up, and it went literally nowhere on a short spread with high volume indicating weakness about where I was expecting to see it. I expected it there because of the fib, but also ...

It is up. I'm not actually trading this, but it's ready to turn.

My VSA journal

Last one(s) of the day. While writing that last post, I noticed that the last bar I took was super high volume. I knew it would start moving sideways, it would need to retrace. So I let it define the boundaries with the dip down to 38%, shorted on ...

Took another trade after seeing this on the 1m. It bounced, retested and I took it. I rode it up, closed the first order, half the second, again, stop is B/E. Things ever just go so well you just start getting suspicious? Just decided to close it ...

My VSA journal

I like being right. lol I actually lost out on 2 longs prior to this one and went positive on a short term down move prior to the blast off. I already closed half for profit and set stop to B/E. No matter what, I'm starting this week off right ...

Did someone post negative comments about trading? I didn't see it if so. Either way, if FF ever created an alert service, I'd probably never leave this site for anything else except actual trading. *Hint, hint* ^_^

Thanks, FF!

Soooo. EURUSD. On the hourly, there are 2 large down bars on super high volume followed by a much smaller one with a considerably smaller spread. Lo and behold the market has gone sideways. The last This is clearly climactic action from the recent ...

Wow. It has been a long time indeed. I walked away from trading for a long while because I was unable to get my trading under control and it was not profitable. I traded with real money for a short while, actually my investment back, withdrew it, ...
