This is what I meant with what I missed These type of considerations...because I wrote the same thing to my journal after the initial reaction at 1.4930..wondering what you were seeing =) Personally it felt like an eternity having to wait through ...

I for one would be wondering how you know ahead of time whether it is R1 or R2 that will cause the/any reaction, and why one will do it over the other, given that it's "so predictable". I would also like to know why it a) has to go to S1 and b) how ...

Lets Talk GBP/JPY "the geppy"

Indeed, took it's sweet time. Same here - all secured now Shame there wasn't a nice setup on USDCAD as well... And a daily IB and a 4h TL loss just now I believe =) The curse of the 15m, I tells ya! =) Yea, sounds like a fun toy, it does. ...

I love it when a plan comes together LOVELY My crystal ball seems to be working just fine still (tell a lie, it was one of Jim's systems that gave the real reason, but shhhhhhhh, don't tell )

Already had my gambles on Gold instead and riding the EURUSD / USDCHF train..far more feeble trends to try and bend as opposed to the freshly hiked AUDUSD (But need just as much caution...this is all very low risk - as in money risked - stuff ...

Personally I have the suspicion that I'll be as disaffected by 100k in my account as by 10M, as the same effect that means you're not used to it means you don't have any "ideas" about it. Then again - have always been very different from almost ...

How did you manage your windfall?

Thanks...although it IS rather messy...the chart is still a bit clogged with things that had no real bearing on price...in the end, it's always just an evidence gathering process to find likely price resting/reaction points which I try to mark in ...

Lets Talk GBP/JPY "the geppy"

Just wanted to say the same magazine here("Der Spiegel") that titled "USD crash" before EURUSD lost several hundred pips had the big bank crash on the title on the 28th of January(weekly magazine release), covering the events of the emergency 0.75 ...

Trading the Supermodel Indicator

Where I said we'd end up. Or rather one of the stations/waypoints. Hit 205 blue box area(big swing .382 fib -you know, one of those arbitrary magic numbers that have no bearing on price and are all make believe *wink*- with s/r confluence) and made ...

Lets Talk GBP/JPY "the geppy"

I think there's a difference to the "hedge as excuse to not being stopped" and a short term(1-15 days perhaps) counter-trend trade on a larger retrace. I've had a perfect example for this becoming a problem on USDJPY when we retraced to 114 from the ...

whats with this "hedging" thing??

You always pay it. It is simply a proportional comission. You start with 2 pips less or: you need to have price move 2 pips more than with no spread, etc. You ALWAYS pay, even if it simply means a shortening of the distance between start and ...

About those 95% or: some research to discuss

P.S. on my original post - sorry for "harassing" you after you had to suffer through the usual "nothing can ever work" blast artillery on the first 40 posts already (you have GOT to love people who readily admit to having no idea about how to ...

The Holy Grail - Found

I can't say anything on the setups, but the fall went to the area I was looking to exit at and look for further clues => 1.5875. Boy, did we get one Panicked fed cuts, weekly pin bars, surging indices... @Gerard no idea about the alerts

I think I'll re-read it again when I have some more spare time then, the way you make it sound it seems there's still stuff hidden Well the "trick" with the knife is that you need to consistently apply it and by now I believe a LOT of price ...

The Holy Grail - Found

To use a much used thingie(I forgot the word for the term I mean): Because the triend is your friend. That'd be the long and short of it. Going with the trend means that you're trading in the direction that on average moves more pips. That's why ...

! Quick, let me put in some arrows in the USDJPY chart, say, 104? 103? I need that to go down, too, get to work! *whhhksh!* Wot a mess Time for a weekend pizza here! Have a good one everyone!

Hehehe Exactly. Say, don't I know that little critter guy from somewhere... The reason there is no point is what you already stated.. Sounds so nice: That's easy to type, isn't it? See, er...the one single problem of anyone trying to trade? ...

Hey, thanks..I really hope it wasn't out of fear then(the getting nervous) I just get worried when I read 3x3% => 9% risked...do that 10 times with things going wrong and what's left? Shambles.. Glad you're trying to figure out things on demo ...
