I was referring to equivalent in USD. The average wage in UK was $50K, perhaps more when the pound was trading 2.12-2.20, so I stand corrected about my incorrect usage of "minimum" wage. I was trying to make a point about the income level relative to cost of goods. I was not trying to mislead.

The average wage in US...is less than 50K.
I could always google average wage but really could care less. Just what I make. But I think their avg wage is less, not more. Now there are countries with highly avg wage, just not the UK. I willing to be proven wrong though.

That was probably a little over the top... even for me.

Sorry Tiki.

Spoken like a true Stars & Striper. {I'm assuming you are American, please pardon me if i am mistaken.}

Why would the EEC want Parity & Why wont China Peg?

One Global Currency {parity}, Never. But, perhaps 2 or 3 Majors is feasible somewhere in the future. EUR/USD @ Par would be similar to USD/CAD @ Par. Could happen but won't last.

Could happen but won't last? WTH does that mean???
And no, originally I'm not an American. EXTRA! EXTRA! A non-American who is actually a US bull. How dare he!!!!!

Now that the "decoupling/kicking the US when it is down" thingy didn't quite work out, the world will have to find another reason to hate this country.

DD9, if you don't mind, I'll share something with you that I think I learned in this thread. Don't worry - or even care - what the Fed/AIG decision does to the market. Be sure that you have developed a system or method that repeatedly enables you to watch the pa (price action) and react with a buy or a sell (you really don't care!) that will make you money.

One of the biggest things I learned here, in addition to the above paragraph, is money management (I lost a lot of money by not using stop-losses). Perhaps the biggest single benefit was running into the 44-year old diaper dandy Acumen and his pivot/psych method. I simplified my charts, added a couple of quirks that I picked up along the way, and shxt! I'm making money. I repeat, I don't care what it does to the market. Following fundamentals too closely causes me to lose focus on the technicals.

My 2 cents, which ain't worth 2 cents.
Ed

Thanks for you input and well said! I do indeed use SL's, but perhaps I don't set them correctly... in other words my money management might be all messed up.

I did watch the pivot video from acumen or that acumen speaks of... not sur if he was the one that made the video or not. Anyway, what settings should be used for that pivot indicator?

Thanks,
Doug (now also known as DD9 - Double D 9) lol

I count 5 periods. Why treat Sun pm session seperately? 120 hours after forex opens in Far East it closes in USA. 120 hours / 24 = 5 days.

Unless some count the odd ball hours some brokers have opening Sun afternoon before Far East "rings the bell".

I've been watching by the sidelines since Monday and look at how it's trading within the triangle. It has rejected the 61.8 and 50 Fibo. Anything goes, at least within this triangle.

Acumen could better answer that. I use "his" methodology, but I don't use his pivots. I use some that I downloaded off here:
SDX-tzpivots, SDX-sweetspots, and "Support and Resistance". See attached.

Note: These indicators are built for Metatrader v4, and only that package, I think.

Good luck.

Im not sure the Kiwis {rugby holligans. Let someone else win once in a while} and the Awsome Aussies would appriciate being encompassed within a bracket of "The Far East." Maybe they will let us know...

So the Koala's as some here like to refer to them, is that better.
Not the Aussie but it is what it is.

What about the point of 5 or 6. You seem to be of the 6 crowd, yes??

It's actually trend lines; lower lows. Having said Asian sessions are the most boring; its like watching paint dry. London and NY are where the action is.

I'm still learning so these are just my thoughts as I learn more over the days.
