Downloading it, I mean, ordering the dvd now

Not trying to be rude just need to know what these terms mean in forex?

Tried to search but you can guess what comes up. These are popping up in EURUSD thread but cant get an answer there because as a new memeber my posts will be reviewed before publishing and that thread is just moving too fast..

Erm.....
What do these terms mean? That's a big one I'm afraid.

Maybe you're wondering about the less basic terms.

If so, try Bulkowski (http://thepatternsite.com/chartpatterns.html) for explanations

SOS <-> Sign Of Strength, WTF <-> Weekly Time Frame

EURUSD trades have sense of humor

Bulkowski's Pattern Index does not help much because those are general definitions. Whereas FTR FTB, etc. here they are using related to certain context like RTF (return to flag), So it would be nice to have a reference linked back to a post, or in future, where a term was first used, and the need for it to turned up in this abbreviations/shortcuts list

Still this list is very good idea, it does help to clear 50% of difficulties
