Well that's close to how I sometimes feel about doing anything at all outside of the J16 thread. I have written-and-deleted-before-posting more text blocks in the last 3 months than I've submitted it seems like, for this very reason of feeling ...

Rubbish, if that were so, you wouldn't have had it published to the public But it does raise a question I'm wondering about: do you feel that it's possible for those that haven't actually developed the principles presented themselves to actually ...

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

Glory to the brave I still don't have the book(I don't own or read any conventional trading literature really), but quite frankly I've been considering it lately as the used version is available at negligible cost and you're one of ...

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

Understatement of the year IMHO you can make it a lot simpler(although I have equally disturbed levels of complexity, no worries, main thing is that it does something for YOU): 1. If price doesn't have anything in it's path that would cause it to ...

I agree, it seems like things will come to a point in the near future. AJ, EJ and GJ have already initiated a large part of their moves, the rest won't be much behind I suspect. *rubs hands* Currently I am wondering how much GBPCHF might just go ...

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

I just wanted to make sure that it's understood I don't want to encourage not learning from your losses. It's obsessing over losses and trying to eliminate them altogether that leads to psychological pitfalls(some people grow afraid to even place a ...

Getting by, there's good days and bad, you know how it is But when my bones crackle and my back is acting up, oi vay! I meant that if you encounter something you feel that might suit you, you go and read up on it. Then try and figure out why the ...

I don't know why everyone is always looking for extra crutches. IMHO we already have all we need. Some might try to turn it as an item of "confluence"(fine by me on indices and stocks maybe, but I don't see the lack of edge as early as commodities ...

Hey FXP I'll interpret this as a "how do I know when something works(for me)" question. If it's meant in a general manner from the outside: you see if you can understand the logic presented, try and apply it yourself, compare with the original ...

I could actually be nice to the fundies and say they've been saying GBPUSD is going down a few hundred pips before it rose up first already I think they've been saying it for the last 12+ months or something(makes it easier to be right eventually ...

james16 Chart Thread

One could challenge that and say: If you add positions and then go to close positions(i.e. not all at once), where's the point in having opened additional ones in the first place? I.e. where's the net effect that makes it superior in returns vs the ...

I noticed! Well if you vary risk, then you vary risk I was just trying to reflect something Fiji-like It's not that I don't think there are "hotter" trades than others, but you can do this with a simple trick as well. I just have started up ...

james16 Chart Thread

I agree with this line of thought. Lately(last, oh, 12+ months) it seems just about ANYONE who has even a fidget of clue and dares poke their head "outside" at all, simply gets snapped and shot at on FF, leading to some people(imho rightfully) just ...

Sup Wiz How's it going? Doing alright, hope same for you. As for cable - until EURGBP peaks(still has a new high to make in my logic) you can guess what scenarios and trades I'll prefer

Thanks Ghous. I personally am not on a MT4 so I don't have anything like that.

GBPCHF. I know this will show up completely different on other brokers due to the Sunday start, but just taking this chart for what it is it makes sense. Or at least it did to me last night. IB then BEOB/DBHLC combo, with a retrace to the small ...

Cesarnc's market talk, gossips, rumours & fun

Some might say all you're doing with randomizing your risk is randomizing your equity curve and chance of kicking yourself in the groin in the end. Another way to think about these things: Any setup you trade should be high enough grade to warrant ...

If the "random guesses and journal like posts and comments" were removed and we boiled the thread down to a true essence of jacko's posts and actually new / current info / his thoughts on the market, left out all the already answered questions, ...
