A picture is better than a thousand words... (BTW I didn't work on one of those but yes, my first word processing application was Wordstar... with all those "^Z" "^S" "^whatever", LOL).

How's that for the first laptop?
I still remember when those were sold in computer store.. I feel like an old fart (I was quite young then but anyway).

also in the ark... 256 KB (not MB) memory
au contraire tradewell, methinks it was 128KB (check lower right corner of screen) I know that cuz I had 64kb on my IIe and that was an improvement over the 48KB of the IIplus which was an improvement over the original Wozniack garage version Apple1, which had 32kb and had to load the OS off a cassette tape drive to get it going. Had the old 8 bit 6502 motorola running at 1mhz.

My friends always put me down cuz I had half the memory they did, but the difference was... I could use mine...

Those were heady days... before credit default swaps, Atari's and Commodore 64's took over the world...

If you remember that... then yes you are an old fart.

We should start a thread.. Old Farts Thread or OFT for short. Our motto would be...

Hey, give me a break, I was relying on my memory. Oh yeah, the PC jr also had these "cartridges" you stick in, like an 8-track tape, so you could load Basic code.

Ye all left out the TRS80, back then Tandy/Radio Shack was a different kind of company. It was on the "trash 80" I was first introduced to networking.

OK, better analyze somethin before the kids take us all back to the home early...

Lower left corner are the Lows from last Thursday preceeding the Weird Friday Bull Runup.

RED UTL goes back to the 140.20ish level a'rd Oct 2.

Bold white arrows show steady downside direction (Lower Highs) whether it was on the HIGHS of the spikes, or the upper level of the range (midddle arrow). Lower white arrow hi-lites the lower lows minus the gap weirdness.

I don't always factor those in as they can be somewhat "contrived" for reasons I'll never know. If price recovers, then they carry less weight with me than if PA continues on down; then I give them more weight.

The 38% fib level and shaded box are self explanatory. The lightly shaded candle just under the Fib numbers is the Gap down open for this week.

The only important thing on this chart that you really want to see here is the timing of the hits on the UTL... Times (in aqua) are GMT so everyone can convert accordingly. Here in US Central time, that first (2000hrs) candle was 2pm, then Noon, and then yesterday/todays was a'rd 10am. Remember a post I did last week about correlations of UTL hits to market hours...?

So. I haven't gotten too excited when price starts climbing, I just keep my powder dry, and stay locked and loaded. The 30 pip spike up today thru the BB, the UTL, and the 62% fib just made me smile bigger.

The 38% level has been a good place to either TP or scale out... whichever.

Will this pattern continue this week? I have no idea, but this is what I'm watching... :nerd:

This is a Daily of the EUR/USD. As stated on the chart, that previous low goes back a long time. I believe it was somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.16XX (Its the low everyone keeps talking about as the absolute key support level for the EURO). The thinking being that if that level is broken, the 'ole buckaroo will reach parity with the upstart EURO in quick order. We'll see. A lot of tears and gnashing of teeth will need to happen before we see that level, let alone a breach of it. What I find interesting is the 78.6 level which is currently serving as support. We've touched it twice, will there be a thrice???

Happy pippin'

Nice, I can't go back that far on OANDA. Given that I just now saw your chart I really don't want to make a blind guess. I'm sure I wouldn't have a ghost of a chance. Happy pipping

dead zone. an area devoid of life. no activity, no logic, no strength behind any movement. pure chaos meant to confuse. cross the dead zone barrier and you cross into that unknown world designed to take your money
