yes their is cause thats what they are. Typical of the retail trader trade the breakouts and get your lunch handed to you.

They dont have the understanding that the break was bs just another way to take their money. They short 1000 pips lower then where the setup was.

So they are here to forth called clowns. Clowns they will remain till they start learning how to read the market.

Like the saying goes: 90% of first break outs are false breakouts.

To an extent, I agree with what you say. However, I traded short the break for a scalp (which is not your style, as you've said). I then flipped position and went long at 51 when there was no follow through.

Your reasoning is sound enough but your approach in conveying it (and spelling) is appalling. They're not clowns, they can be in for a quick scalp (as above), and can make money doing so. You have made enough counter-trend calls, many wrong, and I don't see anyone calling you a clown. So give it a rest please.

Ok so here is the deal. what is the purpose of that one hour candle i highlighted. there are a few reasons that it broke the support.

1. for those who were long above and placed there stop right at that 3680 level. Shakeout they lost

2. to get the clowns as they are now reffered to as or the herd to short the break of that. Now it could have been a profitable trade for like 15 minutes.

3. Notice how it has settled now a ways away from 3680 they took it down and stole folks money.

Its not really hard to understand guys, but most of you dont think outside the box. Most dont think how are they going to try and screw with my mind?

this is how they do it. They push it past the support causing panic shorts. then they eat the shorts lunch.

Im really getting tired of trying to explain to some of you that the reason you lose is cause your thought proccess is wrong.

Start reading what is really going on behind price. Start asking yourself what are the professionals thinking. How are they going to try and take my money

It's true. The market makers manipulate the herd, and they LOVE it when there are breakouts, because that means more profit for them, as they fade the breakout. Where most people are shorting, people should be doing what the market makers are going to do, and in a lot of cases, that's fading the breakout, therefore one should fade with them.

There is a lot of price manipulation that goes on in the market, therefore it's very important one knows why this manipulation is happening, when it happens, and how to capitalize on this knowledge.

One has to think not in terms of, 'What is everybody going to do at this point', but one has to have an understanding of what the market makers are going to be doing at this point. They use the same tricks over and over, taking money from people who don't know their little tricks.

For anybody who don't know anything about this whole area, I suggest you do as much reading and gain as much understanding on the subject as you can, and then watch it unfold in the price action.

I could care less if my spelling is a bit of, Im not an english teacher im a fulltime trader. Im Interested in making money not if my spelling is off. I mean really is that the best you can do my spelling?

The reason I dont get called a clown is cause most the well respected traders in here now that i know what im doing. Most in here that have any clue how the market works will vouch for my knowledge

Closed half position out @ 3751 (+100pips) and placed s/l on remaining portion at BE+25pips.

Slowly making back loss from earlier in week.

Done for today.
