thanks to Feb it is conducted in a very professional manner.
Yes, we have a WONDERFUL leader/facilitator/teacher/guru/wino (errr, scratch that last one, that accidentally slipped out) to mentor us by

Join in more often and share with us some of your wisdom, plus we need more ladies active in here!!! (okay, you I can give touchy-feely hugs to, since you're a fellow estrogenian, lol)

I am having trouble getting the file...anyone else?
( or is it just me?)
I do not use MT4, but I tried downloading the file and had no problem. I was also able to open it in my text editor.

When you clicked on the file, did you get a popup?

Well, you know Antra, once you take it all off, it's totally liberating and even clears up your sinuses.

Okay, boys, I think we need some striptease music for Antra, as she cannot seem to do it a cappella

Oh gawd, feb is gonna boot me out of his thread soon, lol.

He shouldn't sleep, lest he wants his thread to run amok!

Okay, I am going to bed soon, so I think everyone will be safe until I wake up.

G'night all (although, some of you might just be getting up, lol). We shall have a good trading day tomorrow (or as soon as those dang candlesticks get into their proper V-Formation)!!!

I know Letitride that you could not post a smaller chart but the charts have to be 600x600 so it makes the pages easy to scroll and I have to ask you to repost it or else I will have to remove it ( or one of the other mods will)...sorry
Letitride -

In the future, DO NOT use the "insert image" for posting your charts. You want to use the "attachment" feature, thus you will not have the problem with your chart being too big and run the risk of having it removed.

If you use the "attachment" feature, it will create a thumbnail, and then we can click on it to view the larger size for details.

When you create your post, scroll down further to where it says "Additional Options", click on [ Manage Attachments ] and you upload your file from there.

Exactly how I do it. I wait for the close, then I enter IF it breaks the higher/high or lower low of the last one. The V-formation has to be there.

I'll post some charts on the next post
While it definitely is conservative, and can save you from false breakouts, do you find that you lose a lot of the move by waiting for the final candle to close, rather than just play the break?

Playin the breakout is valid. I don't do it 'cause I got burned in fractals before.

I know I left some money on the table but I ride the wave all over up/down.

for instance, I am riding e/u since aug 23. Still on the trade.

I had another bet (long) I think it was on 6/15 don't remember I don't have my journal here.

I had milk the cow several times too. It's complicated. I milk the cow , I left some for the grass to grow more or I add some more fertilizer. It all depends. I move funds from one market to another.

Plenty of people got burned on a fractal on the DJIA between nov 6 and nov 7 2007 I mean, all of those who "mimic" the index vs. any derivates. I do that but I am always discretionary.

another one bet on 2/6 I believe.

What do you mean by this?

I'm hoping it's not what I think it is, lol

feb, are you hitting on poor Mr. Merlot again? :



LOL no Merlot is reserved just for the weekends

Antra, I love Aussie wines!!!!


Ok , here's the deal.

some brokers are set for the bars to change at 00:00 GMT time, I believe that's 9:00 PM. EST If you're really looking to play a fractal, either on the breakout or confirmation, you could miss a move if your broker is set up for bar change at 12:00 midnight. You will have 3 hours of lag.

You could have a V shape formed, let say at 10:00 PM EST already in a 00:00 GMT while in a broker who's setup for a change in midnight, you will see just 1 bar/candle.

I am talking daily bars here.

Listen guy's I'll be out for some time, I'll probably come back late this afternoon EST time. My ford explorer 2001 got broken for the 4th time and my girlfriend( who's been buggin' me to death to get a new one along with my daughter( I tell you brother, women are not easy, but hey we can't live without them)) finally convinced me to go shop for a new one. I have an emotional attachment to that truck but I have no choice LOL.

Just a side note I wanted to share


Good luck everyone. I'll see you guys late today
