Totally not related to trading, but when I saw the title of your thread it reminded me of a book I read in high school called Jay's Journal. About some kid that got involved in drugs and the occult and eventually killed himself. So hopefully you're ...

Jay's "Love your portfolio™" Journal

Ikomuchi or how ever they're pronounced.. always looked like someone didn't make it the bathroom in time. Nice job on the shorts. I've been shorting the euro quite a bit the last few weeks with the one of the only longs being right before the ...

Did you guys enjoy watching the grass grow as much as I did? Tune in tomorrow and we'll watch paint dry. I caught the first push down and then it took forever until things finally broke out, but so far so good. image

Thanks! Just bare in mind that you're not going to take every turn. Just those that make the most sense to your plan and methods. Out of all of those arrows I only shorted once in each triangle.

I stopped pooing for this? meh. Back to the john.....

You get into your trade, and suddenly nature calls...

I get asked all the time to share my squaring indicator. That's not gonna happen anytime soon. I've also been asked a lot about scaling. Since setting squared chart relationships is a bit of a hassle in mt4 one option is to use shapes that don't ...

So out of boredom today I whipped out, updated, and re-tuned the price natal forecast. In the chart below the green forecast was anchored to a high a ways back. But you can see how it's been pretty spot on catching the major highs and lows including ...

I wouldn't consider that short high risk. You're trading lower highs and lower lows. ie.. a downtrend. The guitar hero thing was laying around so I tossed it on there. What about your setup?

14 Year Old Forex Trader's Lessons

I just browsed through the last 3 pages of the big EUR thread. Yeah, it makes sense on why there's so many losers. Years ago the smartest thing I ever did was get away from the large congregations of traders doing their trade by committee ...

Wow. Anybody ever pay attention to the trader position data thingee? I understand everybody trades different time frames, risk amount, etc. but holy cow... long trade avg. price is 1.2965 and avg. short 1.2609? The euro pulled away from 1.2965 a ...

Sure, why not. Like I said in a previous post.. there's really no right/wrong with it. You just need to play around until you something where price is reacting to the lines within the square. Then you know you've got a good fit.

Cycle Trading

Pretty colors. I have no opinion either way on whether to go long or not. That's up to you and your risk tolerance and trading style, and time frame.

Yeah, you need to do what swamp yankee said and post it to an image hosting server. The other option is to upload the image as an attachment to your post. There is a link in the bottom of the new post screen called 'Upload Attachments'.

Cycle Trading

The nature of trading and markets in general is not the environment a type 1 would generally seek out. I know quite a few type 1 personalities and when I approached them about trading they all said no. Too risky. And these are big time commercial ...

Your own HOLY Grail (and how you know you've found it)

Did you trade it, though? That's all that matters.

Oh.. and to get 'square' for some time frames means either compressing the bars or spreading them out. Whatever fits the bill. That's just the nature of mt4's crappy scaling. It was a little easier when there were only 4 decimals. But 5 decimals ...

Here's another little tip.. don't have auto update on or whatever it's called. The green arrow button. That will invoke automatic chart re-scaling on every tick if I"m not mistaken.

Cycle Trading

You can manually set the scaling. If you click and hold the price area, you can adjust the scaling up and down. That's how I square up objects I know are perfect squares in theory. Like the stock gann grid. I just adjust up/down until the line that ...
