I've noticed that when the green and white ma's part company (the gap widens) it helps confirm my entries.

Amazing also that you probably got stopped out for a loss a minute later
You can count
Except I can't LOL I actually entered @ an even better price 228.38 SL 228.68 (posted a little too quickly as I wanted to do this in real time).
So yeah now I'm already + 55 (227.83) amazing.
And I keep hearing the beeping alerts for the other pairs/other time frames LOL it just confirms
So I'll get my head straight and calculate a decent trailing stop to lock in some pips, since the indicators are still quite strong. Yay!

Well before staring at charts took over mine hehehe GAMES took over my life LOL. I can tell you that ALL games (I'm not kidding here) that I ever started, I finished (not that one can't finish a game, but I love reaching my objectives, I'm kinda, hmmm, PERSERVERANT <- is that a word???).
Can't name them all, there are too many and I would scare some people off with the actual number (scaring myself off actually), but stuff like Rise of Nations, Empire Earth, Emperor, Pharaoh, all of the Caesars, Enemy Nations, etc etc along with all the sim elevators, sim farms, sim everything and of course my first love SimCity. I also love action games, I have fond memories of Magic Carpet (a beautiful yet stressful game) and Prince of Persia, and more recently things like Zuma and the like.
--> Does the subject line of this thread say it's "trading related"?
I'm getting there. About 2 years ago (or something) BANG. I install this game, start playing it, and wammo, like Napoleon reaching his Waterloo (sorry for the bad citation, history is not my strongest asset) I -- for the FIRST TIME -- couldn't finish a game. Actually, I think I never even got past level 4 or 5 (of many more than that). Geeze I've managed restaurants, hotels, huge buildings, elevator systems, factory systems, farms, cities, whole COUNTRIES AND NATIONS AGAINST EACH OTHER and I can't do this one.
What was the name of that game? CAPITALIST II (never found CAPITALIST I anywhere, weird)
Anyway so off I go into "real life" trying to learn about finance and managing a company and stock and trades and all that in order to gain some knowledge to get back to CAPITALIST II......... well, I end up not going back to the game at all and actually becoming a trader LOL.
End of story of my life. Now if I can only WIN THIS GAME hehehehe.
the NAME of the first CAPITALIST ist actually CAPITALISM

Not exactly sure what you're talking about. I might have posted wrong numbers (I'm trying to do this real quickly to post real time
) Here is my chart (no stop loss hit at all, au contraire )Top horizontal green line = my entry 228.38
2nd line = break even 228.29 (9 pips)
3rd line = my new trailing stop @ 228.08 (+30 pips secured) My original stop loss was 228.68 (I'll take a deep breath and re-check my numbers, sorry rough day back at work after almost a month BAAAAAAAAAAAA!)
See chart:

Phew! Just hit my trailing @ 228.08
That was a quick +200 $USD (see times in statement excerpts) below. Less than an hour (I don't make that at my dat job LOL) And this is during the Asian session. Hmmmm. There's definitely potential here.
Gonna have to break my own legs so I can stay home and trade
Haha :d i just read my memoirs lol

Now, what's that Sandboxie thing yer talking about? Spent all day (well not all) at work trying to install my new trading paraphanelia for cryten's system (and constantly clicking MINIMIZE whenever someone approached my office hehehehe) Stressful. Maybe this thing could help?
What I found today which closely resembles VT (if you can't install it on your C is opening a demo at Oanda (lifetime demo). They have Heiki Ashi candles (most others don't). But I'd need to set all the other indicators, not sure it can be done.
Nicely done Qpip, I'm off to bed now so i can get up early for the euro session again. Hopefully it's my turn to catch some trades.
Gonna have to break my own legs so I can stay home and trade
Hey, nighty night to you, sleep well, and see ya tomorrowwwww
Just in case someone here pops up a bright statement like "Well anyway, you shouldn't be trading at work" kind of attitude....
Not that I need to justify myself on the net, I do that enough in real life, thank you very much.
Trading @ work doesn't jeopardize the work done, at least not in my case. I never turn down a request (yeah I'll be right with you in AN HOUR AFTER I DECIDE TO PLACE MY PLACE). Nothing like that. I just want to be able to keep an eye on things.
My only existential problem is using the company's bandwith. Well, and also if I intall VT or some other programme on my C drive (can't type C with : then I get a smiley LOL) well again, I'm using the company's property (their computer).
What I was thinking of doing is getting a laptop, for instance, and a switch, then putting the laptop under my desk (or where ever) and paying for an autonomous Internet connection. Then I wouldn't be using either their bandwith nor their hardware.
Some people fart at work (put all the minutes they fart in a chain and that comes out to A LOT OF LOST TIME, let alone what it smells like !!!). By farting I mean actual farting (heheh Winston Churchill's book "Fart Proudly" comes to mind) but I also mean chatting about whatever, wasting time at the coffee machine, coming in late, leaving early, not getting the job done in an orderly and efficient manner, just taking too much time getting something done, screwing up, complaining about other people, not being proactive nor having any sense of initiative, etc., in a nutshell FARTING THEMSELVES OFF and awaiting their deserved paycheques cause they showed up and FARTED all week long.
I don't do that. I'm an extremely efficient worker (don't believe me - I do not care if you do or don't).
However -- but on rare occasions only -- I do fart, but I do that at home, not at work
Basically, what I'd like to be able to do, as I mentioned earlier is simply to be able to have a look at where things are at, trading wise, a few times per hour. Having a quick peek. Takes a few seconds, actually. No more than that if you've got your trading plan in your head. Doesn't interfere with your other work, if you're a didicated worker.
Cause that's my new/upcoming job. Need to train hehehe.
If you're my boss reading this
--> love and kisses and YOU'RE THE BEST ! Always have been!

you don't have to justify yourself to anybody on here. Go for it gal. The pooter at work I mean, not the windy thing.
Boss sacking is the target so.... the end justifies the means.
Dave
On a journey to............ boss sacking with an attitude
(off to bed now as sacking da boss is a FUTURE thing not a DONE thing lol, patience, patience)
Happy and prosperous trading to you and all,
