just using this as a bouncing board but it is not important to me wether people here are winning 90% of there trades, what is invaluable is the method taught here and what it does to my trading performance. Who cares what anyone else makes???? jon

thanks Mike, great insights as per... and thanx for clearing up the breakout thing. i thought as much.. jon EDIT: i must be learning as i wasnt tempted by the first one either!!

james16 Chart Thread

Hi Mike, i was tempted to take this also but i was wondering what made you take the second bar and not the first??? cheers jon

james16 Chart Thread

Yeah but is that patience??? lol dont worry thats my last word... jon

james16 Chart Thread

lol, this is a sickner when it happens. EDIT:Happened to me yesterday and went on to hit my stop!! again literally 1 pip!) Mike could you give us your view on the breakout retest play Avanish mentioned... jon

james16 Chart Thread

yeah just watched it, it sounded like a break out play when i read it but i think youlle agree it wasnt the best example. price was running straight into some strong res. at 1.4240ish and we didnt get any decent PA on the lower TF.I think the bar ...

james16 Chart Thread

lol, no you got it mate. i just dont think it is possible to force patience, maybe im wrong??, will loosing more money on a setup really make you learn something?? i have my doubts but i could be wrong, i often am lol patience is a key factor in ...

james16 Chart Thread

to be honest im not sure that this is the type of setup he was refering to??? maybe he will enlighten us?? jon

james16 Chart Thread

hey Adi i understand what your saying but i think you miss my point... I was just wondering if the "solution" (to only making small money with your winners) is to increase the possition size??? it jus seems a dangerous road to go down. ?? jon

james16 Chart Thread

be carefull here mate, thats not actually a pin bar, its more of an IPB, one of ghous' favourite BEARISH triggers.... i have a 4H BEOB on mine (alpari UK) but it has yet to close. it doesnt have a great close as yet though...not the momentum i was ...

james16 Chart Thread

Small TF but i like the look of it....??1H BEOB on us/cad coming off a good level. A break below the .9577 level could be a start to some new lows?? jon

james16 Chart Thread

.....either that or you could learn to be patient!!, You didnt really expect to get rich with a 3 grand account did you?? jon

james16 Chart Thread

yeah totally agree. the FTA is around 1.5970 and the BRN at 1.6000 One to baby sit for sure but i like the strong reaction from 1.5800 currently capped by them bar lows. Not an A+ set up because of the lack of space but i think 1.6100 is possible ...

the gb/us pin looks good also... jon

james16 Chart Thread

hi buddy, sos for the delay, iv been away all week. you can get a correlation table from the oanda website, or if you google it im sure theres many sites that list them... As for which pairs to back test i would personally stick to the majors as ...

james16 Chart Thread

james16 Chart Thread

james16 Chart Thread

nice way to break a RN...i love these retracement plays ... a bit early for me though no suprises where price stalled (for now) jon

james16 Chart Thread

My approach would be to simply follow each of the PA trigger bars that you use and moniter the results....some ideas i would consider... ...quality of the bar, size, close etc ...did it form at a... PPZ, swing high/low, a retrace of previous swing ...
