Entry Unholy

Kinda the same as the eur only a bigger move really ,,, every m30 candle was a buy ,,,, weekly high is off on M1 chart because I didnt have enough bars of history ,,you will notice it ,,just stating the reason lol

Top man - much appreciate the analysis....sorry i pulled you away from eurusd!

i think ill hold for another 20pips or so (take the hit if i have to), and see how it plays out. Unfort im not awake during asian trading, so could wake up to a horror show!

hows the weekend bud - beers and tractors?!

spent most of the day loading hay out ,, have a bunch thats sold ,, people filtering in to get it this time of year ,,, and yea a beer or 3 lol,,ah no worries bud ,,, eurusd main staple for trying to point a few things out ,, always dabble a bit in some other pairs ,,looking at same methods across a few pairs never a bad thing

Will say each pair ,,they all have a few individual things that may differ a bit pair to pair ,, which you will find if trading steady ,,, but the main things looked at doesent change ,,hope it drops a bit for you man

What I said earlier when I heard about it I did gambling on it...and made a huge huge loss...and stayed away from the market not even watched the market for couple years. But the loss I made was yearning me to come back and recover...but made more loss more and more,,,but know getting better little bit...with the help of Digz...not making money every day but getting better now..
Hope you to will be enjoying your week end with the money you made during WEEK...lol

digs is a good man. since being here from last August i've learnt more observing his posts than i ever did in the last couple of years trying to figure out things on own. most people with that kind of knowledge (or moreso to make the concepts so easy even a kid could grasp it) would either hoarde it for their own or charge crazy fees for lessons. kind soul this man

I imagine digs sits in a solid gold tractor, beer and rolly in hand, with 15 forex screens in front of him!!

top man - thanks for all the help!

Ah,, thanx man ,,, this mkt has more than enough for all of us little guys ,, ,, the amount of things to wade thru or pick thru is overwhelming and one is hit from every direction and every angle whn getting into it ,, you have to do this you cant do that you have to watch this or that etc ,, I fell for a lot of it like most ,,, spent money on useless shit that was the magic bullet ,, things that would never fail ,, things that point out the next move ,,, live squawk news to the second reports ,,the list is endless ,,look back at some of that shit now ,, all I can think to myself is what a dumbass ,, lol

Slow learner ,, still far from perfect ,,,, but the one thing that thru all the madness associated with trading ,,the one thing that remained constant and that one could see is the mkt always done the same thing ,,, day after day ,,week after week ,,year after ,, it never changed ,, the only thing that did change was the price at which it did it at or levels ,,,,, ,, it doesent go any where overly fast,,, its never a direct one way path

Been around for a bit lol,, back in the day starting out there were a few of us that stumbled and staggered about for a while ,, rather diverse group ,, several with a bit of a farming back ground ,, few totally different ,, a doctor ,, a veterinarian,, saleman of farm equipment,, a banker ,, few other things ,, different countries ,,some the same ,, all relying on several different things or methods ,,we worked and chiseled away at things as far as trading ,,dispelled many so called facts about the mkt ,,but one thing our rag tag bunch had between us was a good dose of just plain common sense ,,, that goes a lot farther when applied to a mkt scenario than most realize

Somewhere in that journey for me it became less of a worry to try and pick out where it may go ,,, and more about looking at where its been ,, and things to use when price starts its journey for the day ,for the week for the quarter etc ,, different things to watch for different times of the day as that journey evolves ,, as you know aiaian session price revolves around the ole m5 54lwa ,, scalping using that will get you most of the range ,, practice you get the whole range twice the asian session ,, business picks up when frakie and london start ,,, bigger levels and bigger pokes back and forth ,, then the trip across the days range ,,,,,,may not touch that ave again till the next days asian session ,,, putting the pieces together as they pop up is the hard part,,, easy some days yes some days no ,,,but the pieces are always there,,, and its not the rocket science it is made out to be .
My trading ,, tho not perfect I do alrite ,,, this day and age where only a few extra dollars could make a big difference to some floating around in ff and looking and reading and trying desperately to make that few extra dollars a week ,, the ole farmer method ,,, tho way different terminology ,, and maybe somewhat wrong to a lot of things preached about the mkt ,,it does work and it is and can be seen on a chart and levels pointed out by some patterns and projections ,, the mkt does react with,, usually a previous level somewhere but if not ,, you have levels to start with each day to put the puzzle together.

Experience,, that is something that is hard to transfer ,,in any field let alone trading ,,that comes with time ,,,,,, but experience gained while actually using and seeing something that works ,,,, that,,, that can be built upon,, that kind opens up one seeing things that more in tune trading terminology traders point out ,, what I am doing is just pointing out the simple shit lol,, just a bridge or stepping stone that for some may open the door to more things being understood ,,if not ,, the simple shit will get you as much as one needs and if practiced more than enough ,,as sated to start ,, the mkts have enough for all us little people ,, its cool to see all get their piece of the pie,,,,there is going to be days you give some back ,,, as a farmer lol,, thats just viewed as,,, well that seed will grow into something to harvest,, or it may feed some wild life ,, everything has to be taken care of one way or another.

Any rate ,, appreciate the kind words man ,,keep on keeping on ,,,, dukes up,,, opening bell a ringing in 11 hours or so lol

lol,, gold tractor ,,nah , cow shit dulls the color lol, screens tho ,,just 10 ,,,, thats why I get my ass kicked whn I trade on my phone lol

You are right people charge for that kind of knowledge thousands dollars and he is giving it free lol...to everyone..I am very grateful to him,,,when I first approached him he agreed to help me via PM and later spoke to the JAYBAG to open the door of his house to come us into his thread and post our charts and give us chance to learn from Digz for which I am very grateful to Jaybag and the sincere efforts which digger made for all and helping all of us who want to learn and want to make few dollars from the market,,,there are very few people who know and want to help others.
Good to see you here on regular basis so we can get some from you too lol..
Spelling sux as typing on the phone..

Ahh I just hang around - its good company. I'm nowhere as good a trader as digs and most definitely not at teaching I can't 'verbalise' the concepts in my head well - I 'think' in images/patterns so I'm not really good at explaining my stuff. I drop by once in awhile but really, all the gold nuggets are from digs. You guys have made such huge improvements in the last couple of weeks and quite a couple of times a day I find myself peeking into this thread to catch a few tips from the lessons he teaches too. Great man.

Didn't realise this was JB's thread my bad. Big thanks to JB too for allowing this. Many traders and would be traders are definitely benefitting loads from this gesture

There it is traders ,,,,20 some years of data ,,,, how many news story were researched and sought out to justify what the mkt did in that amount of time,,how much bullshit was spread ,, how could a bear flag on a monthly chart years in the making stop the mkt almost to the pip with the brexit bullshit and all the other bullshit spread in that amount of time ,,, how could the 272 and 618 extenions of a 2 year range work like that on a monthly chart ,, how could the monthly 200 work like that how could any of this stuff work like that ,,,,,the market is more practical than most want to believe ,, all we are doing is cutting it down to what works on a daily or weekly basis or what works for us to get what we are looking for for a pip count ,,,,does it make it easy ,,no ,, but it does clue you into maybe things that are more beneficial to your bottom line and should be concentrated on more than all the bullshit that isint ,,,,,, and there is a lot ,,, a lot,,, of bullshit out there,,actually bullshit may be too kind ,,,,, just shit is maybe more appropriate [attach]7 eur.jpg;3186375[/attach

white circle in bottom left corner on both charts ,,the monthly and the m15 from friday on the eur ,,, learn to spot them on any time frame ,,right side up AND upside down ,, along with a few other tools and you will do just fine

What do they look like upside down lol,,,, this

what did it lead too ,, same thing that was scribbled on my longer charts ,,only longer charts a few more levels to the left visible ,,,same shit ,,day after day week after week ,, find the levels the mkt gives you ,, tradem ,,collect ,,, rinse and repeat ,, it will tell you ,, may not give the clues easy sometimes but they will be there if you look,,, once again ,, does it make it easy no ,, but it does help you decide when to hold or fold and helps guide you to ride the mkt ,, not fight it ,,many more pips gained easier rolling with the mkt than fighting it

where did the 1st ext levels come from ,,, the high,,,,the low,,,, and mid point,,,, of the 1st swing of the data most see whn they pop a monthly chart up ,,, sure as hell wish Id a know some of this shit when I started lol,,,, 21 years later ,,nothing has changed as far what works ,,cant make this shit up traders ,, its there every day .

My pathetic attempt digs below! Stripped everything off my charts and moved to line charts so its only the close on show (rather than the spikes etc). So on the H1 chart i see soemthing like this - what r my levels like?

Nothing pathetic about it bud ,,, will say if you have those levels figured out ,, the spikes give you entries you can get a stp to break even and they wont be touched ,,but that will give you clearer levels

Cheers mate - im still on candles on my trading (Mt5 app)....just on my mt4 i changed it as its easier to see the levels with everything else stripped off (indis, emas etc). So then i move these levels across to my trading account and put them in their too

A chuckle for you traders before the week starts ,,, a quick run down of my evolution as a trader ,,, only gold was what was traded not the eur ,, but areas same areas ,,, not that I wasent trading the eur at the time ,,,just a whole different view of things when the gold trade took off ,,,,, refining and tweaking since ,,but refining and tweaking shit that works lol,,, 20 years of life spent dorking around with charts and trading,,, along with the normal life bullshit,,trails and tribulations ,,, losses and victory's in both .. lot of similaritys between the 2 lol,, ebbs and flows ,, for every action there is a equal and opposite reaction ,,things travel in one direction till acted upon by a bigger force going the other direction ,,, maybe some of that common sense thing mentioned earlier,,, knocking a few years off some starting out ,, well worth it ,,after all most here ,, dont matter what country,,, we are all in the same boat ,,, just the working stiffs that make up the fiber of any country,, life much more enjoyable throwing a helping hand out as opposed to being dick,, shit the world has enough of them ,, a like minded group working together to help others have their victories cant be a bad thing ,,,spoon fed dont help much a combination of some of both can get some energized and working towards their goals ,,that is my point lol ,, any rate have a good laugh sure most can relate on some level or another ,,,,,, tick tock open getting closer lol

I'm lovin' it I generally use this approach on all my time frames. I think your levels are good, I might add, if you have the time to try an exercise,
set up your line graph for say the hourly like you have, and mark off lines at the whole numbers, halfs, quarters and if you are feeling adventurous
1/8ths just to see where they cross your lines multiple times. Some traders I have heard now use 10pip lines instead of 1/8s, but I'm old fashioned
that way.
If I have the time to scalp (not nearly as quick as Eng's fast and furious, forex, fone fingers) I will set up say a 3 min chart and make the line the thickness
of my spread, say 1-1.3pips wide so I know when I enter what I really the price to move through towards my target. need to move.
Anyways, keep it up, and listen to that farmer on his tractor.
good luck,
regards

well I done with the home chores, guests and other things around home this weekend. just looked in to charts and here what I am looking in to. Dig bro please check If I am taking it right. last week mid point area I am not sure if I counted that right.

I am very grateful to you Dig bro I will feel guilty If not give any comments on what you are doing for all of us in this thread it is just priceless and I am just wordless to express my gratitude and thankfulness to you for all your guidance through out the week of trading it is really helpful. I personally learnt a lot and still way long to learn more and more but streamlining the foundation is some thing that I have your great support. Dig you should know that you are loved in different part of the world and you receive prayers from different parts of the world and people and I am sure you will be going higher than this and I am sure more successes will come to you and all your wishes will be granted.

here is my 1 hour chart.
