u got guts.. not even 100 or so stop just in case you lose power or something?
Nope - Never - I have a system that works for me and I will usually act fast - both in and out
Have MA's and Bol's on my charts, but rarely look at them
Mostly buy at the bottom / Sell at the top and I stay away from news trading.

I just believe in what I trade
I do use limits to exit 25% of the time though

Couldn't agree more. I never use a physical S L - only mental one.
Mostly scalp and out of the last 120 + trades I had only one negative
one for -9 - got out only because I didn't like what I saw. From those
120 + trades, I am a positive 2,500 + pips
Works for me, but may not work for all.
For most don't work because they can't affort to have green pips on the charts

i think mine is simpler... zoomed out on my daily, I see a bear flag with about a 2400 pip pole. been seeing it for awhile now. should be about due to break and take us down to "parody".

Now THAT'S a channel....
no no buddy i got something even simpler...watch...just 2 lines!

Here's a comparison of the 4H triangle in candle version, then the line version. Note the differences in the bottoms.
Ahhh, you have found the key to all candle pattern mysteries grasshopper.

Nothing like a line style chart to blow my best conclusions and ideas out of the water before I dive in and find the pool is dry. ESPECIALLY helpful on those dime a dozen head and shoulder patterns in ranging action on short and medium TF's I'm always railing on.

I honestly don't look at ANY h&s as valid unless it's also confirmed on a line style chart and that's where I get my neckline from as well. just me tho.

thats kindda my thing too.. i buy valleys and sell peeks..it works mostly.. i set buys or sells and sometimes step away from pc for hours sometimes when doing this but with sl lots of times wide ones hundreds of pips.(seems my broker is watching me) .since i never know when or what time an entry is hit.. it seems you are in front pc when doing thuis since your scalping and just get out when you see things going wrong when up or down..it sounds like you have a good system. good luck i may try it with smaller positions..

i also have a double head inverted h/s on my 60 min cht.. it indicates south too..but all i heard in others charts is north.. since we are not in agreement. probably will stay out. but the long term is south and the price is currently hitting resistance and me thinking this is a peak would go short. but on the other hand this mortgage news is killing me.. so i will just read tea leaves and drop a coin. if the coin hits the ground ill give me going short a 50/50 chance..

I wrote a text indicator for the THV system, with that you can change in inputs the x and Y settings, also you can choose the window where it suppose to appear.
Will send you by email.

May be you can use it to modify to your needs
hey cobra, could you send me something as well to change where the text is instead of the right upper corner? would be better in the lower corner for me. Thanks!

They may be waiting on news, alright, but it sure looks like the big manipulators ALREADY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO NO MATTER WHAT THE NEWS IS.....!

Buy low......sell high, this chart is SCREAMING a message at us, IMHO.

but on the other hand this mortgage news is killing me..
Here's my take on that fwiw, and this could probably apply to most any "bad" USD news these days. That little thing is the result of a decision if I'm not mistaken, not an economic report.

First how long has been since there was any "good" news? It get revised later anyway and turns out to be bad new after all but who cares by then?

Second, since it is a "decision" and not a report, there is at least as good a chance that other nations will look at it as a way in which the US is taking charge of a problem and looking to contain it and set things right or at least better eventually. They may well have to consider similar actions their ownselves before it's all over. So it could wind up being seen as a "positive" irregardless of what the math looks like.

For now anyway. The piper always wants to get paid, but that's down the road they say... and by then "someone" will have figgered "something" out. Right.

So, really it's perspective, and there's lots of that a'rd.
