Yes, I can see that. I might buy an additional 1,000 shares in the next few weeks. I look at it as a long term buy, so much so I told my mom that at 59 and retiring soon, I couldn't recommend it for her. As you said, it may take 5 or even 20 years ...

Silent Service Method

Chris, thank you for all you do here and all you have to share. If you haven't noticed, I am a common lurker through out the day, but I don't post much. I sold just over $4,000 in my mutual funds and about 800 shares of C. I really think this is a ...

Silent Service Method

I agree. I am glad Dan is posting here again. I have some of his previous posted charts saved on my personal James16 folder and I enjoy looking over them. Also Dan brings a calmness/level headed logic to the thread.

Good eye in catching a BUOB at a swing low. But it is not a trade I am interested in... #1) Yesterday was a bank holiday in many countries across the world, so the volume was low. A bar larger than yesterday's low liquidity bar (in this case a BUOB) ...

I think they are great questions, and everyone has their own choice to answer. 1. I have been trading for just over 3 years. 2. I had my first winning year last year, I hope to keep stepping forward. It just takes time, and working 2 other jobs and ...

GBPUSD 4H — The next day I found another trade to go long on the GBPUSD. Double pin bar look. Not the best close, but the momentum looked to be on the swing up to 1.5850. I hit my first TP at 1.5850. The 2nd half I am holding until 1.6000 or I ...

GPBUSD 4H trade — I took this 4H BUOB Long on the GBPUSD up to 1.5820. Good retracement, great sized bar, best time of day (5PM CST).

I was looking forward to riding the EUR down, but damn, if the Stock indexes crash, my retirement funds will go to hell in a hand basket. Thanks Mark!

Ghous and Benji up in the mix! Great to see both of you, especially with Benji being gone for so long. I have studied both your posts so much. The next up and coming guy is xmz. I don't know where he came from, but he has learned this system with ...

Sorry about your desktop, but I am not sure what you are talking about with the Aussies. The AUDUSD, AUDJPY both had Daily BUOB that have currently retraced slightly into the BUOB.

Off to a meeting. I am starting to have another light bulb go off, I think I am about to break through (after a few years). With that said, anyone remember Doberman? I wonder what happened to him.

Yep, I looked at it more, and the overall size of the bar, and the traffic close below, I decided to pass on trading directly off the Monthly chart. Most likely there will be some sort of pull back, and a much clearer opportunity to go short. And at ...

EURUSD Short — I should have been more prepared to short the EURUSD with all the negative news out of the EU. But I cannot pass on the monster BEOB on the Monthly charts (along with the down trend line). I am short below the BEOB at 1.2920, ...

EURAUD — I closed out my trade with 25 pips of profit at 1.3865. I wanted to hold on until at least 1.3925, but price has been moving sideways for the last few hours under the 1.3880 level. It might not be ready to explode yet. Maybe I got too ...

Jim, I actually got in this trade on the retracement as well, all before reading your post. Thank you though for this post, I greatly appreciate it. I only planned to play the BUOB on a good break and a quick hit to 1.3970. I set my price at 1.3930, ...

xmzhang, great trade, you faded my long (thanks to slippage I got stuck in), LOL. We often know that outside bars retrace before moving in the desired direction. What was your signal to short this BUOB? Just a touch trade and a hunch?

EURAUD — Took my first loss in a while on the EURAUD. No biggie, I am trying some more aggressive methods with a very, very, very small percent of my account and going to keep seperate statistics on them to see where I am at. I think on the ...

EURGBP — I got in on the weekly BEOB below the arrow on my chart. I actually didnt' get in until the 2nd week after the bar was displayed (the first bar after the weekly BEOB came within 7 pips of my price and reversed). In at .8645 hit my TP ...

Jarroo — Thank you for your help on the EURGPB. I am still WAY too picky and I am WAY too conservative, from where I think I need to be. But maybe not either. I did trade the EURGPB based on the weekly break at .8645 and hit my TP of .8530. I ...
