That's very sad news! To loose your money due to a bad investment is no reason to take your life. I'd expect, we'll probably be seeing more of this though as things get rougher.

We'll talk about this in more detail later then.

Everyone else, what's your vote? Do you want to see EU on longer time frame trades as well as active intraday cable trades?
EU would be good. I have been trading the EJ some for the last month.

I'd love to see some longer term trades off of the 4H on EUR/USD, but recommend not to go into any other pairs, otherwise the focus of the thread will get diluted with lots of chart posts of different pairs, and there's plenty of threads like that.

So I vote for a GBP/USD trading thread with short/medium term trades as you've been doing up til now, and simply glance at the 1H/4H/Daily EUR/USD for some longer term trading. Too many pairs gets very confusing.

We're on the same h4 times again. I would agree, but would like to buy somewhere in the midde of the wick myself.

Now, seeing that chart just make me say if we get a monthly close below 3500, then we're headed down for another few thousand pips.

I'm hoping it goes back to 3750.... I see it can go back to even 3724 based on h4....

No need to apologize bro... excellent chart!

shows that this pair has only gone sideways over that last 30 years, key now is to recognise when we have reached an extreme and trade a huge snap back,

15min for the singles is great thou, im finding the price action in cable very good for scalping, going to try and build up trading size slowly but surely...

nice trade there bro

3760?

Candle has to close before we can start trading off of it. Remember, the h4 candle is comprised of the smaller time frame candles. For example, it takes 4 h1 candles to make an h4 candle. Some believe it's the other way around, but I think their putting the horse in front of the cart that way. So, for those who don't like how we will go against the overall trend, now you can understand why we are willing to do it. PA will always lead the way and the upper time frames are comprised of the smaller ones.
