Hi Leighsww, Just wanted to thank you for your kind words on the other thread. Looks like you are making progress and if you do not mind, I will read your thread from page 1 to current this week just for an education. Best wishes and take care. Rap

Interesting thread. I've been using the HA candles for some time now to help confirm direction and duration of move on GBP crosses only. I use the 4H chart instead of the Day. I will check back from time to time to see how you are doing. Thanks for ...

Leighsww, I have not exchanged messages with you in the past, but have read your contributions to both the TAF and follow-on threads. Your contribution to TAF was very good, and I know many people miss your input and ideas in the new thread. Please ...

Just noticed this post. I traded this move south on the 19th after the next push at 2:00 my time (wierd 1800 pip total move within 3 days). The big key for me was that the market could not pass back above 4310 after this initial push south, which ...

Hi LuSan, I have enjoyed exchanging ideas with you these past few weeks, and wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Take care and see you next year.

There is not a way to trade a 5M chart, alone, for profit. You might learn how to enter and exit on a 5M chart for profit if you first learn how to trade a higher compression chart (as previously stated in a post above, a Day chart is good, but I ...

Agree with this suggestion. This is a very good group of people and they offer great training. Just look into it and then decide, rather than spend thousands of dollars on classroom training that is only part of the puzzle.

Hi luSan, What is the bias? The previous bias was up, so the current bias is up until the market proves otherwise, right? Notice the the E/$ has formed a double top of sorts and is currently forming a flag (go to a lower compression for that). I ...

Hi luSan, I take it you are trying to work through an approach to determine trend changes to help you with trading flips. Is that correct? Are you interested in a discussion on this topic? I do not want to add something here that is not what you are ...

Hi luSan, I just read the post in your thread and agree with your analysis. In the chart you posted, the bias is up and you are looking for buy opportunities on the 15M chart, passing on anything that looks like a sell. (Notice, too, that the doji ...

luSan, Please, just don't dance into a 1H trendwall, but do dance away from it, ok? It's always good to know where the dance floor starts and ends.

I think President Bush's speach today puts to rest any notion of a world currency (other than the dollar), and positions the US firmly against too much new regulation of the financial system. I have been looking at the financial advisors that ...

Hi luSan, This is the power of doing TA correctly. It is something I spend a lot of time doing each day in my trading, among many other things. Trend lines on 30/60 are much stronger than lower compressions, and 4H are stronger still. It is one of ...

Why trade the CAD? I like it because it can move when other currencies are quiet. It will move when others are not. I was in the GBP/$ and am now out for a while.

I like the 10M chart, but you have proven that the 15M works well, too. Yes, it does work. It also a "safe" place to enter your trade, if and only if, you agree to exit if that trendline is breached. The trend will rule all trades until it is ...

Gread thread and interesting posts. Here's my two cents: The world will not move back to the gold standard as long as Big Ben is Fed chief. He knows this is a very significant step backwards for the world financial system and, especially under the ...

Thanks, I will stay tuned and participate as I can.

I have been reading a thread that says naked also excludes S/R and trend lines. Perhaps I am wrong and will gladly say so.

I am not sure what this means. Perhaps it's too brilliant for me to understand...

A minimalist approach, but not completely naked. I enter/exit on a lower compression chart, and I stay in the trade until the trendline is breached. I use stops and keep them just below the trendline as candles develop. My approach and charts have ...
