We really shouldn't be telling others how to trade nor be giving any direct trade advice.

This thread is to discuss and teach the PA patterns - not to influence people's trading! (important!)

("personally, that looks iffy to me / I probably wouldn't take it / I'd be worried about factor x y and z" ...whatever...but, er, not "do x / don't do x" - we're already pretty much pushing it by discussing stuff ahead of time..)
Fair enough

Hi Wizard,
Thanks for the tip, just a quick one why would you not short it ???
Going against trend ?????

Stay Lucky
Hi Mimas,

It's just a feeling I have. The counter trend factor is probably a part of it. At any rate, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be advising you just because I have a feeling - I'll start a journal...

Have a look at my post on EMA's above though. Same thing...you're shorting into the 10ema as the 50 starts a sharp move up. This is very dangerous in my opinion.

Hey mimas,

Don't take that pin short.
At the same time don't consider going long until it breaks the triple top.

Just my thoughts
Would you take a break of this one....... if it forms?

If you equal "don't take that pin" to "oil will reach 80$" then I really can't help you.

I could just as soon say GBPUSD will reach 3.0 and EURUSD 2.0. Or both 1.0.

Where exactly with that am I telling anyone to do anything by saying "Price will reach value x"?

I say price will reach x - neither when, nor how nor why. It's expressly clear that I am only voicing my opinion of future price development - eventually. As to when or how - this is open. Advice whereas to trade from or how to trade - there was none. (I've simply reiterated with that what I posted in late July in the oil thread)

I would.
I just hope the week ends like that. Still a couple of days to go.

I'll start a journal...
I'd read it / check it out if you did. Would probably be very interesting.

Just be careful to post things well AFTER your entry

Or you're gonna end up with 50 posts a day from people following the +1000% guy saying "took that signal, too! hope it works! cheers!" and then 50 pips to the downside later, probably 40 pips after YOU left the trade already "account starting to look really bad, should I close it now? plz helpl"...

- I really wish I was kidding -

Hi raczekfx,

If it ends as a weekly pin then that certainly adds strength to it...but I probably still wouldn't take it.

As I have said before we all have feelings / make judgements on the market based on our own experience of it (and perhaps also on what we have read or heard from other sources).

This leads us to enter the market with our own thought beliefs and style of trading. Just as many people wouldn't trade against the trend, others frequently try to pick tops and bottoms.

I am constantly in awe of how you enter trades seemingly right at the point they turn ("the touch" as you call it) and yet still others need to see a rejection and be more conservative.

Personally I am not very comfortable shorting into resistance. If it is a PPZ then I am confident but not when the trend is firmly up (has not been previously broken) and price keeps knocking on the resistance level. I do find myself trading more and more on instinct lately so I am not saying I would never take a similar setup but this time something doesn't feel right. I do appreciate Seeking rebuking me since this is not the psychic hotline, its a place to learn.

If anyone is up for an "opinion", you can PM me.

I've said before I, too, have most likely been guilty of this far too many times as well. If one wants - use Oil as an example or 500 other things. I could think of at least 2 other occassions.

Everybody please realize: no matter how many badges or posts we have, we're all just kicking crazy around - WE ALL REALLY DO NOT KNOW!!!!!!!!

We're just as clueless about the market as everyone else.

All PA can help us to do is to get an edge over randomness and gain a chance to make us some profit.

Please do not take anyone's comments here about pairs, directions, prices or anything in this regard as any sort of reliable trade advice.

Hi Seeking, Wizard, Josh,
No need to fret on this one.....I asked what people thought.....so no problem, either way.
Joined the PF yesterday so have been too busy reading and have not had too much time for looking for bargin trades....

OK, so this DBHLC has not kicked off... it's been a couple of days... Price went down maybe because of the 1hr double top a couple of days ago...

But doesn't this also qualify as a TBH ??? A trend continuation coming ??? And with NFP tomorrow...

Hi Wiz,

Yes, you're right about feelings and judgments; thank God, we're all unique and not clones...
How do you know I enter right at the turning points....,you're not lurking around my journal, are you....?
Let me tell you, It's just pure luck ... but I try to make it as live as possible...

Best,

I just took profit and am positioning myself for a short. I don't have much confidence that price will continue to climb without a small drop.

I hope not.. but after (3 days) reading 1200+ posts from the very start of this thread I've had it. Can't hack it. I give up. I lie down. I surrender... and joined the PF this morning.

English is not my first language so bear with me, and my spelling..
I have been dabbing about with e-mini dow daytrading mostly, and other index futures for a couple of years. Trying every method and indicator under the sun and was quite successful for a while trying to achieve a target of 1% per tradingday of the account. Managed to double my little account.. But then I got smarter and smarter and burned my fingers, badly, a couple of times on small idiotic things. Now I realise I have to start all over. Looking beyond the horizon. Not only trade futures (like a lucky madman) but see the future in trading.

And then I found this place... I am sure many of you recognise the feeling.. wow.. this james16 group and this thread and all.. this could actually be my lifeline! saving me from myself.. or at least my growing bad habits.
With kowledge and support, I'll do it, I'll do what ever it takes. Dig through the vast PF and repeat it over and over? -My first priority.
Leave scalping and intraday timeframes on the dow? - sure. Paper trade weekly and daily charts for 3 months instead? - Ok, I'll start tomorrow. Start with a tiny account and keep to the big timeframes for months? - Yes, I'll do that too - (grinding my teeth). Keep to strict MM even though the trade of the millenium develops in front of me..? OK, I don't know how I can promise that but - Ok, I promise.

But then I know I am not the only one with a few scars from trading life here, and the viking in me could just keep on collecting more and more till I can't stand up any longer..
and then I see that people almost seeme like reborn after having the james16 exerience...
so I realize the path in front is not easy at all, no, very painful and demanding actually, both physically and mentally.. but God, do I feel good allready!!!

Jim, I can't tell you how much I look forward to see you all on this forum and in the PF.

Hey folks,

as already said I am new to this thread and currently demoing price action setups. I have downloaded metatrader and have all available pairs on my screen. However, I'd like to test price action on commodities and indices as well. Is there any way of demoing commodities and indices on metatrader? I cant even trade NZD because it isnt available with the demo account. Any possibility to cirumvent this problem?


Happy trading and a nice weekend,
Chris
