Im starting this up again for all my friends in the cable on euro thread.


I welcome the critics, but if you do it please have a better argument than the ones in the cable thread. those where debunked without any real effort.

Later

have a good safe long weekend

I have been following your comments through a number of threads and it is clear that you generate discussion.
A lot of people take offense and for the life of me I can't understand that, as you take the time to offer an alternate view.

I have been trading for 2 years mostly paper but all the time learning as much as I can.
Now I trade a system with a myriad of indicators and am reasonably successful BUT I agree with you that ALL indicators lag and really work some of the time and not at other times.

I have traded a simply system called the DIBS (no indicators) but it is a simple 50/50 bet either way at a certain time.

What I would like to know is - your system.

If you have explained it then I haven't found it AND if you haven't and don't want to then again it is your system and perogative.

Either way I will still follow your comments in the hope to glean something new.

Thanks for your posts

Stephen thanks for your comments. I must say the naysayers have gotten to me a bit. I dont post as much as i did and have failed to keep this journal up to date.

I find as I move along I just dont care to get in arguments with folks about the market.

I really will try to keep this updated.

Currently looking for longs on e/u and g/u nothin in right now

I am sick of playin around with hacks, traders that couldnt hit water if the fell out of a boat. Traders who boast about this and that and then close out for their 5 pip scalps. Hacks is what they will no be refered too. They know who they are.

I must focus my attention on my trading, I have gotten away from that and into little games with these hacks here on this forum.

I must have 100% focus on what the charts are telling me. let them go get their 5 pip scalps, let them come on here for one purpose to try and figure out what to do. I mean honestly anyone who is coming on here to get trading opps from folks on here need to learn how to do it on their own. Instead they come on here to start their day ok lets see what these guys are doing on the cable thread so i can do the same. thats not trading thats looking for crumbs from someone elses plates.

This is my thread so before you come on here tearing up what i am saying this is my journal. Go somewhere else if you don't like it.

Are we clear or do I need to spell it out again

Focus Focus Focus no more hacks

Those three lines are my buy zones on g/u. I will consider taking a position at first level and then again at second and third level. Positions have to be small enough too go through all three levels. So the first position would be really light the second maybe a bit more heavy then the third even more.

Let the trade breathe for the love of pete dont be affraid of a little drawdown

E/U chart four hour. Top to lines are places i would consider shorts. Bottom line where i would consider longs. I will not take a trade on this currency atleast till one of those lines are met.

I gotta work on my posting charts skills lol
