I submitted a post yesteray that appears to be deleted, and I have no idea why. I had referenced some individual results, so if that is it I apologize. In a tiny nutshell, I just encourage everyone here to see the big picture. I have learned from ...

Thank you for the response. I will print this out and run it by a tax accountant for reasonableness just to make sure he agrees that this looks appropriate, so no I won't hold anything against you! I mainly was looking for a good, reasonable way to ...

I thought someone here said Jacko was still going long. Maybe I'm misremembering. Nonetheless, you have provided an interesting look at the charts for me to contemplete. An interesting perspective. Point taken. This is a helpful post. Thanks.

Interesting perspective. My first look at the Weekly chart is uptrend, looking at bars from early 2001. From this perspective, wouldn't a long-term potential interpretation be that the correction from early 2008 to mid-2008 was simply a retrace in ...

Thanks for the response. Fair enough point that I'm calculating the retrace points on too short of a time frame. If I go to the Weekly, then, it seems that I would be looking at two retrace levels. The most recent move is from the low of 1.3748, ...

I am trying. Working on a few things simultaneously to try and find a comfort level. I don't want to just give up on this without an honest effort to understand what it takes. It may very well not be for me, but once I work through a few trades, I ...

I can accept that, but feel I sometimes get mixed messages. For example, I'm told to trade for six months exactly as presented by one person, and then told that I need to adapt and be flexible by others. When first starting, I prefer more rigidity. ...

While I disagree with your conclusion of the intention of my posts, I'm tired of that conversation. So, OK, this is my perspective on the current situation and the next potential trade set-up: 1) Chart - 4 hour - by the book, correct? 2) Trend - 1. ...

There must be something in the way I write things that leads you to form conclusions that I don't intend. I never said it's all or nothing, or that I'm "throwing these rules out the window." I'm trying to figure all this out, and asking honest ...

I value all insight so I can get a better understanding. My previous post was, again, referring to Page 1 of this thread: "1. If the graph on the chart starts in the bottom left hand corner and ends in the top right hand corner, the market is going ...

I appreciate the response, and I see some sense in it. If the initial entry is sub-par, then the AH entry may also be sub-par. I would, however, like to go back to page one of this thread. I do so because it is common to direct newbies to go back ...

Thanks for the comments. I'm not trying to argue, just trying to learn. First, as to the question of downtrend or sideways market, I guess I'm perhaps a bit confused as to what time frame is looked at to determine that. If I pull up the H4 chart, ...

Your chart — Inerceptor, I was looking at my charts with the same crossed lines. After I posted that I went in with my AH, I was told to watch my trade closely, so I spent some time looking at the charts. At the time, there was a downtrend ...

My plan was to wait on my AH before making any other trades, and my AH was picked up overnight at 1.4279. Not based on any analysis, just the AH strategy. Will re-evaluate my charts when this trade is done.

Does this mean you don't move your SL pip by pip? I've kept track of the action on this, and price reached 1.4184 (so I assumed your trailing stop would have moved up to 1.4084). My chart tells me that in the early morning today price dropped to ...

There was nothing implied by use of the quotes. I simply wasn't positive that the title of "Turtle" was anything official. That's all.
