... absolutely spot on again my friend, thank you for your efforts to join in and help others.

added....
looking at the bars and charts in a context of how the pros do, instead of using the mainstream thoughts and teachings of this bar shape means this and that to find trades is much more effective way of trading as our friend fti said we need to how something works to understand it, then take advantage of it, i know it is very hard to get that mainstream crap out of your head and change the way you trade but it is possible with hard work on the emotional side and learning how the brain works and processes thing, also how it deceives us often, again as fti showed many many times.

I fully agree with you on the bar thing. FTI said many times the MM's make the patterns and they can also make the bar. They use the mainstream stuff to fool us. I was more pointing out the group of bars with the engulfing as well. its something i have just noticed occur frequently especially around the session ma and when that bar i pointed out concludes that group (depending on its gyration) it seems to fly afterwards.

here is that same pattern again.... happening now minus that one bar

sorry it was not directed at you personally, that is why i put the 'added' bit there, i know you know this stuff it was for others who read my thread mainly. and i know that nice little formation in your chart that you pointed out, every move must have a higher or lower right side, thank you showing others here my friend.

i have just got into the same trade as back indoors for a while now.

I know it wasnt directed towards me =) I wanted to also add something fti said that took me a while to understand i guess. "learning patterns is a life long pursuit". what I think he meant was along the lines of another thing he always said "let the market teach you". If all he meant was the mainstream patterns It wouldnt take a lifetime to learn because in essence all the books teach the same few things. I know I say this constantly but thank you for everything youve done. IMHO, between this thread and taf is the Ultimate Trading Guide. You've done God's work here. Just glad I can contribute...

your contribution is very welcomed here.

all i am doing is trying to help others as fti asked of us for giving the last of his time to us to help us understand how to really trade and what it is all about, so just paying my debt back i feel, but thank you for your very kind words about my efforts here. he is right i learn new things about the evolving markets all the time and expect i always will as fti said it would be.

Hi T, i like to stick to G/U, i know it really well and it gives me what i want, thank you for the heads up though, hope you are getting better now, some of my friends in uk have it for over 6 weeks now and had been put on high doses of steroids and a nebuliser, they are only just feeling a slight improvement now, get well soon.

i am done now for the day, here is the outcome.... 1 / +0

sitting at the airport, plane delayed by over an hour, nothing new for this airport!, looking for something to do, so decided to post about what I have seen in pro trading rooms, not that I have been in loads, but I have been luck enough to see a few, one thing I always noticed is they run mountain charts along side candle/bar charts, so here are today's/this week's mountain/line charts, there is more info in these than anyone thinks, compare these to the recent action, there is one distinct move that stands out that is harder to see in the bars, the answer is in how it and when it turns, if you look back I did cover line charts, it is a very overlooked subject, our friend FTI alway promoted KISS to us.
