You guys know how the following is meant. -- Why is everyone always so anxious to buy the highs of a move AFTER it's already gone x hundred (in this case 450) pips? What's wrong with waiting for a retrace + PA setup at a sensible location instead of ...

It's funny, this is the trade I basically scrutinized to death in my journal due to being counter-trend, limited confluence and very likely "twitching to trade" motivated (I took it to that very area and immediately felt that it was beh). Did it ...

Heya Tradertt, the PF definitely has videos that are either completely about s/r or have a blank chart to start with and then show how they're filled out with s/r before going on to other details. Not just Jim's, but from other folks as well. ...

Hey Igrok, just wanted to say thanks for popping in still. Admit it though - you just want to scare me out of my Big Mac holdings! Completely agree on the autumn/winter season though, it's the time where we saw a lot of switches to the "next ...

@joelcf Dude, seriously, that was one terrific post. Especially the real world explanations about WHY s/r and numbers work. Quite frankly, I am very happy I never needed a "real world equivalent" (to chart s/r) explanation - just as I don't need ...

Like Trader KGB, I wanted to second this. Without being offensive, but in all honesty, I really don't / didn't care for posts except for those from jacko. Self-evident why. Once jacko himself basically stopped posting, posts to the thread per day ...

This is also problematic in terms of what I for example feel comfortable with posting. The EURUSD IB or GBPUSD BUOB for example we had both weren't ideal setups, but they did make a lot of sense to ME personally. But there's no way I could "fit" ...

Okay, thanks for the feedback guys. I really wish I knew how these things end up in my inbox and that there were a way of tracking who "did it". Spam is like digital VD, once you got it it hurts every day and is hard to get rid of :/ I really don't ...

First-Strike & One-Night-Stand users, show yourself and your mods, if you dare!!!

Seconded, signed. -- Sorry if I'm so late it's out of context, but I am currently trying to do the crazy thing and catch up on the last 35-40ish pages of 40-per-page posts(you can adjust the per page in your profile options) and I'm just not ...

I think I originally followed this thread, but I'm not sure I already said this..one thing one must never, ever forget when trying to "optimize" an approach that all you will be doing if you're optimizing an EA with the DATA YOU HAVE is that you are ...

Congrats on your 1000th post Ryan

I agree. That's really the bottom line(the very first line). It's been dozens if not hundreds of times that this has been said and for good reason. I am repeating this almost every (other) week. It took me quite a while to "get this", but in the end ...

Gold, also formed a weekly IB. Tons of "what to do next" struggling on the daily. This is basically just a really lagged "USD strength / commodity weakness" trading thing at the moment I guess, and me taking advantage of the fact that virtually ...

People keep mentioning / hoping I post more. I don't understand. People like Jarroo et al already post all the good stuff. The weekly oil BEOB for example. But since I read somewhere around here that there were no setups or at least no apparent ones ...

Congrats Jarroo, but don't start singing and stripping to "It's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes.." Enjoy your trip Jim and try not to spoil the bears, they'll be wandering into bars instead of streams next and you know how ...

Intriguing, that methodology reminds me very strongly of a lot of beginning(I'd say "Freshmen", but that's not what we call them here) college students way back when, it's almost scary But enough clogging and fun, I've got to run...see all of you ...

In my own defense, I don't smoke! Do you see now why you're in dire need of a reread? LOL But good things come in three, man..like, stop loss, entry, exit Hence threesome bowing! Edit: W00t, 3200th post! That's like, 2^5*100!

Really I just had hoped to make you briefly laugh, given that I invested a lot of brain into some very smart and, like, totally witty sarcasm Man, you also give a lousy r/r!
