Congrats GW. Before you go, quick question - do you often move to B/E on your trades once in profit? I was late to the yen party, and as has happened probably about 20 times this week, moved to b/e only to have it hit and then reverse a few pips ...

BRV, great post btw, you mention this : "I used to say just ‘get in right at the level’, but here’s how I do it: I always go down to a 1 min timeframe and monitor the initial reaction to the level. If it gets a quick bounce, I’m usually in. If it ...

No shorting, but I closed it early for a miniscule profit when it didn't react quite as I expected, grrrr... Good to see your chart - I had 1.2790 marked up, though 850 takes it above the downward 4hr diag TL so it'd need quite a kick to get up ...

Rob, continuing off topic, I have a FXCM feed for my charts, although they're not my broker. While they generally sit very close to my broker's price, last night, in the midst of the big urge upwards, their price froze several times at a large ...

GW, I already made the mistake of the day (don't ask!) Where are you aiming for on EU?

Hi Lib, looking at it right now, about another 5 pips?! I'm hoping we'll see a stronger bounce down at 52 (though I am in the trade now), which will take it to around 730.

Incoming! — Coming up to 650-672 on EURUSD which looks like a good reaction point over the past few weeks. Now it's not steaming through the levels like it did last night, may see a good bounce off this. Also, 652 is 50% of the mental leg up ...

ADY, I've got my eye on the same area on GBPUSD too (looking at 1.5259-1.5274) for a bounce, but watch out for King talking in 40 mins time in case he starts talking about slashing interest rates again. Failing that, there's 1.5170 from back in 2002 ...

Based on a sample of one broker, a senior trader there told me it was around 80% of their client base consistently lost money. Of that remaining 20%, many of them simply break even. And out of their client base (in the tens of thousands, so not that ...

95% failure rate?

Good skills all round - I didn't spot that while scaling back the charts 5 miles to see previous bounces of S&R. Thanks for the explanation... and I agree, no signs of the southbound EURUSD trend finishing just yet. But hopefully the projectile ...

Lemminboiv, spot on with a short at 4280 ... but why? Was this based on intraday support? PS Cindy... boy have I been there!

Good charts are like buses, none for a long time then several good ones come along at once - great explanations IronMan. lemmingboiv2: Too true - I managed to break even with the following trade when EURUSD 1.4311 turned into resistance, but I could ...

EURUSD coming up — EURUSD approaching 1.4311 - this is the bottom of a huge range from Dec of last year. It's only hit twice with conviction on the daily, once as resistance (1.4295) and as support (1.4311), but it's significance might mean a ...

Managing the exits — My trading's come on leaps and bounds since studying this method, but I got a question with the exits. Take the attached as an example. I went short at 1.6220 EURCHF - and there was a spot on pip reversal down to 1.6183. I ...

Doberman, he's in/at the Olympics. Babefx - I agree with you, but I guess the thing is that Jacko's thinking is that the trend hasn't changed, so although some of us are taking 'non-Jacko' counter-trend trades at the moment, what no-one's advocating ...

Hi Edge, I can't speak for the others, but I've woken up to hangover and a 100 pip loss after an entry at 370 (this wasn't Jacko's call BTW). Ouch. That said, a few losing trades doesn't invalidate Jacko's method of trading. The past few weeks have ...
