I am still testing oil using a 5 minute chart to mark in areas of perceived consolidation and using them as zones from which to trade break outs on the one minute chart. Looks okay but not scientific -so expect a massacre of the demo account soon back later EDIT - just noticed E/J has same pattern as oil ? {image}
Remember the JPY is tied to Oil.

{quote} Lem, Passing the time waiting for lunch ( before Mrs T. calls me to sit at the table), I drew the wick zones for the 7 to 8 am Dax candle. Out side of the wick zone one losing trade may have been triggered before getting into a long around 9:36 am ( UK time) ? As for scalping into the body from the wick zone, it seems, today anyway, that there were were several little shorts that probably resulted in break even or losses ( depending on how quick you were) - and one long from the wick zone into the body. The better trades, today, were the...
I've traded everything using Wick Zone, buddy, lol.

To save you some time, you should check out my original play on The DAX over the 06:00 - 08:00 block.

The only reason I am not using it lately is that I am not able to get to the screens consistently at that time at the moment.

Agreed.

I find it very difficult to take things in when reading them on a screen - don't know why - and I don't like audiobooks at all, my mind wanders off unless I am lying there with my eyes closed

Agreed - the feel of the book and flicking backwards and forwards, even things like putting in book marks etc add to the "feel" of reading or interaction of various muscles and the senses. Do young people feel the same way though ?

Also another reason - as someone who once took a path for a career as a scientist, I think it is stealing if downloading too much. Might have the random PDF here and there ... ok ... but nobody wants to pay the people who produce knowledge any longer and way too much is stolen or people not paid who work their ass off writing and teaching with pure motivation ... if no contacts or lots of savings, most people cannot live that way. This is btw the main reason why I called it quits and ended up a trader lol ... sometimes I wish circumstances were different, but you never know, it might come as a blessing in disguise ...

I'm only 24 and trust me when i say my generation do not even read, unless it is written on an iphone and it is a facebook text message.
As the ebook/real book i dont really care. For me speed is key and i get information in a digital format faster. The slower just gets behind. Dont get me wrong, im not trying to argue. Reading a real book surely has a "feeling" but i read for the info, not for the feeling. Cant even remember when i had a real book in my hands last time...

Oh I get it - I coach guys and girls around your age to five years or so younger and I reckon the majority are the same. Sign of the times.

What I do like is the way the book trade has begun to reinvent itself over the last few years, with books moving in two different directions, with mass market printings on cheaper paper etc alongside high end luxurious printing of almost archival quality - true works of art.

The problem there is that many fail to sort the real information from the false or propaganda. The young ( pre-shavers) are bombarded with information but selection skills are often poor. Collecting information is one thing, but being able to use the same for essay writing ( or decision making in other spheres) is another skill that is shrinking and being replaced by ready made essay pedlars or essays composed of bits of info. gleaned from the web. The vital missing bit is the skill to interpret or interrogate the material, the display of analytical skill. I have forgotten how many times I have thrown an essay out because the student simply copied and pasted from the net and hoped it would not be noticed.

True analytical skills - with the joy found within solving or understanding something, not just to get money or a paper to maybe get money - is very rare atm. That is sad, but true. At age of 34, I think I have been raised in an era of changing values. But what can we do about it - only do what is right and defend our values from the insanity of the "I want it all now for free and suck out the rest of people like a leech" egomanes and lunatics ... having studied history I may also add a tad of consolation: It was not all just better in earlier ages ... just different.

After pepper was brought to europe for enormous prices, some clever beavers mixed it with excrements of mice to gain more profits. Today the same breed of rotten pieces takes used condoms and "recycle" them under horrible hygenic conditions to resell them. Back in the 16 th century, the air was less polluted, nowadays we do not have to die because of a bad flu in winter with no food at the house. Every era has to deal with its own challenges and chances.

Read an interesting piece from, "Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow."
The author mentions, in passing , that histories often talk of great nation struggles, wars and the struggles of royalty, inventions etc. But little was said about the lot of the common person's life in those times. Industrial power versus poorly housed, fed, under educated , exploited common guys etc. One could agree that little has changed for the ordinary soul in the street- exploitation via zero hour contracts, inflated house prices, soul less jobs, shrinking effectiveness of various services. Different times with different methods of screwing the man in the street. I saw the film " The big short" on TV yesterday: people screwed by sub prime mortgages when the pile collapsed; the banks emerged virtually unscathed but millions lost their homes. The film ended by mentioning that a new derivative ( I forget that title) has emerged
( in 2015) that has similarities to those that contributed to the sub prime fiasco. Some Joe in the street will be screwed by the system in the future ?
