Stats — Nice. Thanks for sharing that. I would be interested in seeing what that looks like in 30 days or so - maybe June 30th. Those first few days may indeed be outliers - like you said - time will tell. My question to you - How do you feel ...

Thanks for the charts again. I put some notes on it. Please keep them coming. You are really picking it up. That little area early on where you got stopped out a few times was messy and it cost you. It's tough, but I will say - it sure beats ...

Thanks for the chart - I put some notes on it. The hardest thing I have found and I think the others here will attest to is being patient. We are trading a small time frame - but that doesn't mean we can't be patient. Waiting for that ideal setup. ...

Those are good questions, thank you. I will say that if I were trading a higher time frame - the close of the candle or the shape of the candle would matter. But I am using such a quick time frame, that really all I am looking for is for PA to at ...

Pairs — I have looked @ EUR/GBP before... it just doesn't move enough. I've put on just about every pair I could get my hands on - and more or less it seems to work across the board. The thing that I want is Volume. The pairs with less volume ...
