I like their tools(as in desktop shortcut instead of web logon), but seriously, why bother with a market fragment of data? I've seen people try to interpret their stuff as a COT replacement before as well and I just keep wondering what the.. it is ...

Oanda's FXLabs

I second JFX's notion. I wouldn't mind seeing a simple overview of the "rules and setups" guide(again?). Or a reference to it..I think one post was pointed out as "containing everything you need to know", but then I read the most recent things ...

The Holy Grail - Found

Taken from url So, no more free syringes with market heroin for the permabulls? Or what's other folks' take on this? Isn't this one big warning flag for the "cut em if you got em" camp? Not that all of this isn't 100% ridiculous to say out loud in ...

Wait, don't tell me that if price is making higher highs and higher lows that it's saying that it's going up and that it's a good idea to buy? ..just couldn't resist. But credit where credit is due, this was first thought up in the 19th ...

Simplest system ever

IMHO a sub-optimal example. It's a completely sideways motion and there was no steep run up prior to the reversal setup. I think the most reliable setups are those occuring against/at PPZ, preferably with added confluence and "clear" of noise. It ...

I'd say a good rule of thumb is: favor letting it run if you're getting in long with the uptrend after a retrace e.g., favor targets if trying to bend the trend or in consolidation mode. Remember the "leg parity" stuff I mentioned about pin ...

Nah, dude, seriously, it was nothing against you I was just trying to say where the stuff came from. No harm meant =) I wonder whether the EUR bulls are back..things are looking increasingly bad for the USD again..even though GBPUSD stole the ...

Just wanted to say jacko found those on another site; it was not from jacko himself / written from jacko's own experience(makes a lot of difference to me).

Jacko's Forex House of Pleasure and Pain

This is to show what I mean => the lower TL, the retest of the horizontal s/r, then if that's lost for good, well, er, uhm... I guess there will be heaps of protection attempts going on, one right now probably

Bit off topic, but as I've said before - if you're not going to make more % than "a boring safe" investment" or a mildly leveraged hedge fund or similiar - why spend your own time and nerves on something that doesn't outperform passive investments ...

95% / 5%

And V-Day approacheth But I was referring to Mr Trend's Helsinki Quadrant Equinox super secret power formula approach which I like to utilize in my simplistic world and market view(check a few posts back)

True true...the brother was nicer though, GBPCHF and EURGBP..no idea if you saw at the time...also GBPUSD seems to be the one responsible more than UJ...I'm sorry, the Equinox has me...Just wanted to say I remain cautious one way or another, stops ...

Nothing wrong with order based trading if you know why you placed it and what the timeframes you want to manage it on / what you're shooting for. Either you're exploiting a probability you know or not; being at the pc at the time or not is not going ...

The Holy Grail - Found

I'd say I'm still not touching the Yen short(long xxxJPY), but I probably sound like a broken record by now, having reiterated this for months I am so hoping GJ stays below 207.30 now for good...and UJ finally gets it's breakdown...and EJ FINALLY ...

I've still no idea how John's approach works, but if you sold 107.20 then I'm with you Three taps sound just like a three bar low to me(normally a trend continuation setup, in this case it seems more of a mini-range break from up there ...

Looking at the posted examples, leave out the two EJ ones that ran over 1:1 r/r, then calculate the ratios of all the remaining ones, tell me what you get, think about what I said, calculate some examples of risk % used and what they'd spit out. ...

How did you manage your windfall?

Talk about hedging being only for the desperate and clueless.. url Enter BS. What a fitting acronym they do carry. Sorry if it's a bit off topic, but I just found it funny to spring up in the headlines while this topic was on

whats with this "hedging" thing??

I think UJ will smash through that 105-106 area eventually and today's surge is just one of several "anvil lifts" that we will continue to do to smash down that support until it breaks down. But to answer - with patience and a setup ..(and a ...
