I'm still happy waiting for a decent retrace and like a few others around here I'm aiming at the 1.5650 level for the confluence of the 50% fib, trendline and a round number entry point.....half the battle with adopting the "Jacko mindset" is learning patience.....something I've lacked in the past but I'm more than happy with my current results now I've stopped chasing every move.

Because I am still learning Jackos method I am in the same situation.

I did not see an entry based on Jackos method, but the method I have been using since Jan 1, indicated a long trade.

I entered at 5757, aiming for a 30 pip TP, and the noise of the consolidation shook me out with a 27 pip loss. Had I adopted the 50 pip TSL of the Jacko method I would have at least hit BE.

Whole numbers, 1.5800, 1.5750, 1.5700, 1.5650, 1.5600. Whichever is nearer to your entry and if you are someone who likes to buy cheap, the whole number for your entry of 1.5675 (if that's your 50fib or MA) would be 1.5650. If you are scared to miss out on action and want to have a larger SL, then your whole number would be 1.5650. Most welcome.GLGT.

Hi James....the trendline I'm working off is from the 13th June. There was a move(from the 13th of June) reaching a high at 1.5650 on the 20th of June before retracing to 1.5475 on the 23rd. The move from the 23rd to the 30th culminating at 1.5834 has it's 50% fib at 1.5650.....these two 1.5650 points + the proximity of the trendline influenced my decision......but I could be wrrrrrong

Hi tehuringa

The market severely punishes impatient traders...

Most new traders are impatient...

You are doing well

Hi tehuringa

Hello All,

I've been reading a lot and benifit from the wealth of information in this thread thank you Jacko for all the info you gave and thank you all for sharing your thoughts.
I came across this video please check it out. Do you think 1.58ish is the highest EU can get?

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmmm. Doesn't look like the markets care much about what the president of france and now the EU has to say based on price but the question is will the ECB lighten it's tone becuase of this preassure.

Hi:

I'm long at 1 July at 1.5786. 100 pip original S/L, which I moved up to 1.5699 when the price went up.

I've read all the posts on this thread, and have compiled Jacko's original words, later words, and somewhat valid words by others into a document. In many cases I included the link addresses back to the original posts.

I am in the process of cleaning up the document. I plan to use it as a reference to my trading, and I plan to ask Jacko if I can join his group.

I'll attach it in its present form for comments/corrections. It is a pdf file, and since I have to use this format, I will eventually put in a proper table of contents, etc.

Barry are you comfortable going into this Trichet speech with an open position?
Trichet is by far the loosest cannon in a central bank right now. His rate hike comment in June took the world by storm and rallied crude about $5 in a day. Now traders are starting to price in another hike in August. Trichet's workhorse economies; Germany, France and Italy can't stay in the black if he hikes two times. They are already crying at present euro prices not to mention he's raising oil for everyone in the world while he tries to make it cheaper for his countries; which, he is not accomplishing.
It really is that easy.

Trichet's speech is on Saturday, July 5. Thursday will be the NFP report. My birthday (64 years old) is on Sunday. It's a .01 lot on a demo trade. Bring 'em on Actually I'll probably be out by the time the NFP hits, or stopped out just after.

And there's the A-H to try out.

"Happy Canada Day!"

Barry,

Thanks for taking the time to compile the notes on Jacko's method.

I am also in the process of joining Jacko's second group, and it nice to have some refferance material.
