Usually it's not the things we see and can see, but those we can not, that are most likely to hurt us the most. Pseudo-esoteric mumblings, but it immediately sprang to mind Glad to hear you're well again. I just hate any kind of mental and ...

This guy's idea of a global warming stop loss / emergency margin call is pretty cool. Similiar ideas have been kicked around for a while I think url

I hope you are/get better It helped me to drink massive amounts of orange juice with Vitamin C, but I think that as long as you believe in something helping, that will already do most of the work But the Vitamin and fluid probably didn't hurt, ...

Igrok Method. Q's & A's. Comments, thoughts and ideas

After writing a lengthy reply and addressing all problems and misconceptions in regard to leigh's post, I realized that one of the core messages of my reply, that discussing trading instead of trading and constantly trying to have everything and ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

He did. He was bullish up to 114+ just 12-24 hours before...now Tiki is making up a lot of reasons to excuse why he was swayed by talk instead of the chart and that he broke at least 2 cardinal rules at once (don't listen to others & no setup=no ...

Subprime Worries

Wiz, you are so far over the top going by those two posts, I doubt you can still see earth. I'm starting to get seriously worried about that stuff. (Margin maxing and sleep shifts and tripled size 1h trades after being stopped..) I don't think it's ...

If you make a plan and the basis upon which you founded it changes radically then your macro plan for plans will say what to do, i.e. if this happens close out and re-plan. It's just a matter of having the right rules/plan for contingencies as well. ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Besides the story in and of itself having bad implications and a display of disturbing social outlines, there's still this: Why would I need a translation of what I wrote myself? Probably just a misunderstanding..I was just kidding around since gene ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Hey, thanks for the bump. It is, isn't it. Wrote it almost a year ago and just reread my first post and it makes me smile...as this is still one of the last few points that can mean living in pain over positions and entries etc or feeling at peace ...

Why are we afraid of simplicity?

Yea it's fun isn't it "here, let me make business for you, I'm very good at it, just check my resume" ;p Well I don't know. I got the same 1500ish area, too, and I got truckloads of stuff for USDJPY etc pp, but until some decent PA forms so far all ...

I just checked. The title page here on that mag was from 26th November. Basically the Monday after EURUSD's peak. Yes, it's THAT good an indicator

Trading the Supermodel Indicator

That actually worked for the internet bubble. It also worked for the USD - after I closed the last USD long today I realized that our local "Spiegel" magazine's title cover was "the crashing dollar - is it a threat to the world" or similiar. Haven't ...

Trading the Supermodel Indicator

What y'all don't get is that if your rules are so nonsensical that they'd even speak against rescuing burning women, you should have questioned them in the first place. Geez, this is exactly what I mean. People will eat and accept whatever's handed ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Yes about UJ. I think the current move up looks more like a 5 count itself, which is worrying. Even if it were an ABC the c would be way, way, way too short yet. Minimum would be .618 x size of A = C. As far as I know at least. I would have asked ...

I think I'm just wrong.

james16 Chart Thread

Tiki, since you asked about UJ, I just had this area marked as a place that might "clog" or pause things..another 200 pips and there's another spot..no great bearish setup yet, but I still believe we've got to make one last new low eventually.. Will ...

I'm waiting to see price behavior at either 1.47 or at the possible neckline right here. Well not neckline necessarily, I don't like HNS that much But it's support either way. Raczekfx, it's a 2 bar PB here and a 4h PB on USDCHF if that helps? ...
