Just looking back in... — I'm glad to see this thread is still as vibrant and useful as when it started 6 months ago. This has certainly been a fascinating 6 months to be trading these markets! Excellent work, Jarroo. I know all too well what ...

Wow! — Jaroo... I hope you are having fun counting all your money! Good show on G/J! (I hope everyone has their Dow 10,000 hat back out!)

Whoa! — Looks like time for everyone to get their DOW 10,000 hats back out!

Yep... — This was one of those frustrating days of 'precisely taking the necessary losses'. I did manage to actually have a long survive in CHF... only because I wasn't paying attention to the 2nd IB that formed at 7 GMT. If we hit 1.0243 ...

Mind the hour... — It's up to you, but we should be all done placing new hourly trades, and the 4hr bar won't close for another 3 hours and change.

Everyone is different... — Personally, my target is +infinity of pips. I haven't hit it yet, but the misses look pretty nice in my accounts!
- Archiphage replied Jun 30, 2008
You know it! — Holding on like my life depended on it! Just waiting to see how far this baby will go.... +260p so far with 100 locked in.

Bingo! — If he was starting to build or continuing to build one of these structures, he would have already been long from the preceding day. (And upon reading his post from that day, we find out that he was.) That's why he'd only be looking ...

Keep looking.... — That's not quite what I'm thinking of. Find the place where he talks about how traders can make thousands of pips. Not that what you are looking at isn't important in its own right.
- Archiphage replied Jun 28, 2008
Well... — Don't get too excited yet... could be another six years before we see one in a pair with an appropriate rate differential! Just something to keep an eye on and remember when you find yourself saying 'This damned pair that I'm trading ...
- Archiphage replied Jun 28, 2008
Sure you could... — You'd just do it with small size and in an account that you only check once a month. I think you'd have had positive carry this whole time too, so that would have been nice. Hey, maybe that's a good rule for when to think ...
- Archiphage replied Jun 28, 2008
The exercise is important... — Not to do you the potential disservice of just handing you the idea... Think about how PC tells us the big money is made in the markets. I mean big, big payoffs. If you don't know offhand, reread his posts until ...

Fundamental laziness... — I don't disagree that you could make more by trading more actively. We all love the game, but let's face it... it often has the feel of hard work. Also, many people aren't so fortunate as to be able to devote the kind ...

Food for thought... — Could you hold a trade for this long? Think about how you would have liked to have put this trade on with just 2 mini-lots and sold one at the traditional 1:1 target. We see *daily* 238+ pip ranges in this pair pretty ...
- Archiphage replied Jun 28, 2008
Discretion... — That is up to you. If you read PC's posts and look at his charts, you see that he does take IBs that have broken the other way slightly. He mentions setting his stop at the extreme of the offending bar, which does make sense to ...
- Archiphage replied Jun 27, 2008
Yeah! — With all open ONS trades positive, and all open DIBS trades (EUR, JPY, & GBP) in risk-free status, it looks like a nice way to end the week. I leave you with this: url Reread this post. Pay particular attention to this line: 'I was ...

We're all still learning... — Believe me, I've done every stupid thing there is to do in a market, and I'm sure I'll find a few more along the way... If something I've said prevents you from ever needing to experience all the unnecessary ...

Risky. — I don't see a short here as high-probability. I am short this pair, but from 107.84. I do see the previous 1hr bar as a bearish engulfing bar... but this pair has come so far, so fast, and we're 30 mins from London close on a Friday. ...

Not seeing it... — Which timeframe?
- Archiphage replied Jun 27, 2008
Not the same... — If I recall correctly, those are all reversal trades where you're entering on retraces. The DIBS trade is a trend following breakout idea, where the best trades offer no retracement at all. Those other patterns are great to ...
