First remove that very disturbing avatar. Then open the properties and use a - in front of the setting.
Haha, thanks for the quick response. I'll keep my eye out for a more appealing avatar.

Oh Crap.

please don't change the avatar - that is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

If you haven't met Skunny in person it is actually a close resemblance.

The best way to tell you've been trading away with vhands:

When you keep waking up in the middle of the night having several dreams about fibs, swings and cycles :surprised
Warning: Pressing F12 on vhands will also cause price action to move fast forward in your dreams...likely causing lots of tossing and turning.

I made some killer pips last night...lol

I've had my biggest revelations on the weekends at 3-4am waking up after a dream about trading ideas and then back testing. I recommend back testing/forward testing vhands at 3am on Sunday mornings for everyone....LOL

You aren't allowed to trade live yet!! you need to go a complete week with no less than 10 trades with no more than 2 losers before you go live. Then you will have your absolutes.

I consider myself properly chastised!

I just realized that tomorrow will be the 1 month anniversary of the thread. I never imagined this would have lead to me becoming a "teacher" of sorts. Although it has taken time away from my own trading it has been a positive experience. I guess I was meant to deliver what I know to someone.

Thanks to all the readers and posters for continuing to keep a positive learning atmosphere. This may be the only thread I've read that didn't have someone causing trouble. This has allowed me to enjoy the teaching aspect and realize that I actually enjoy teaching more than trading.

By tomorrow we will have been visited a 115,000 times and 1500 posts, all on a thread that isn't giving trade calls. I think that's great.


Let's keep the spirit flowing for another month.

115,000 visits?That's a lot, but I should probably tell you around 110,000 of those were just me refreshing the page looking for an update.

It doesn't work that way (I don't think) and I was wrong about the post number it'll be 1700. Not that any of it matters anyway.

The first trade I took for 2008 was with NO indicators....using price action and fibs...and I KNEW where it was going when I pulled the trigger.

+113 pips... Now THAT'S the way to ring in the new year, baby!

Thanks to the Candle Whisperer for letting us eavesdrop on a few of his "conversations" with the candles...
Including that first 113 pip sweetie....I'm now up +902 pips for the first two weeks of 2008.

No indicators. Wow! Suweet!

Yeah, but that thread had a lot negativity issues and bickering and the volume was due to the trade calls IMO (by a talented indicator trader). Personally, I'll take 10 positive posts and 100 view. Just the way I am.


I do appreciate the fact that you want me to win the race. I believe I could by posting trade calls. I can't even imagine the mayhem ...LOL. No thanks. I don't need that. Maybe someday in a private setting.

I was writing an email to Lowell and I put a chart on there... then I thought about and I wanted everyones opinion, everyone except Dagoods that is. What a clown!. J/k hehehe

Now I am not saying anything, but lets say :

not using JUST fibs my trading is A LOT better.

This bothers me. I dislike losing intensely. I dislike not comprehending something even more. It is like ultra mega losing.

I realized just using fibs I was AFRAID of the market. I didn;t have a reasonable expectation of what was going to happen because I am not the Snip Snap at fibs.

This is obviously a testing/comprehension issue, but the goal is 100 so anything less means I am wrong. just one loss kicked me in the pants. One loss normally? well that is obviously my broker stop hunting duh.

Now I was doing quite well, I must say, ADDING fibs to what is my bread and butter. The fibs would clarify and lock down what i was doing.

I am going to post two charts D1 ( i,love d1 because how often has it surprised you? not too often).

1M? yikes. I wear a diaper at my trade station . Trading it is like having an irritated mongoose in your gymshorts IMO. I guess not with fibs.. but whatever.

I THINK this has overall relevance to me but I am not sure how for everyone. the blue lines are specific areas I look at as support and resistance. I am d1 these are not pip perfect. it is more of a ZONE since I smashed these together I am sure it would work out just the same or better.

These are really loose but you get the picture. or maybe not... look at my grand D1 Fib and my areas of S/R premarked. I am not going to go in to how sloppy these are I slapped them together.

On oh say the GU chart after the break my TP might be 1.9260 BUT with fib... I might let it run until 1.9040 now. 9040 is in the general area of demand AND a number GU loves.. it allows me to fine tune my trading and get confirmation

Same barkin' thing GY

"THIS IS BEAUTIFUL". break of the neck line fib has us short(duh) also this IS where my measuring tell me to fib not that super poke down. could be wrong.

so break of the neck line... where is our TP??? first Major support is IMO is 209.70-210...now what does the fib say OH??? Realllly??? wierd.

now I know I am in zones not pip perfect but i told you this was sloppy That is just like you, sheesh 1200 pips and you whine about 20... man.. hehehe. win the lotto but what about the taxes... good grief..

Question: HOW COOL IS THAT ?

Answer: very.

Sizz.,

also I heart this thread if you couldn't tell... Thanks Skunny. It has answered some big needs/questions in my trading and opened more doors to a better overall everything.
