How do I make the chart a little smaller?
Not sure exactly what you mean? If you want to make it physically smaller you can select the bottom option (Active chart instead of Active chart (as is)) and then alter the numbers there. Fewer pixels will result in a smaller image.

RT4X - I think you're looking for this one (last link in PDF but its not really spelled out there)

http://www.forexltd.co.uk/trade/mt4

I believe they refer to it as USDX.

oops sorry, it has USDFX but now I realise its values arent the same as the USDX (but its great for the pound index and followiing the daily candlestick analysis thread by Hussin which actuals helps to what is being taught here in my opinion)

I just got in... have'nt been able to analyse it properly yet but I see we are above the daily 50ema and close to the 100sma... I am seeing a similar bull flag on m15 to the one we had last night... the m15 50ema worked well at that time....

All - Now that we're learning to trade like EO, here's your chance to have your charts look like his. I've put together some templates based upon EO's chart setup (refer to pdf for details). One notable item I have that his charts don't - that is a cyan blue 248EMA on the 15m chart (this is the 1h 62EMA displayed on the 15m chart to within a pip so you can see it on 15m chart as well as 1h).

Please take the time to check/verify the MAs are correct and ensure you understand the color scheme (again taken from the pdf).

If you find any disrepancies, please let me know so I can correct it.

Thanks.

Good morning guys and gals.Expiration Friday today so be careful. If you look back in time you can see that on expiration Friday alot of times you will get a 100% retracement and even two 100% retracements on some so be careful.It is a good chance to make lots of pips if you can see the reversal coming.
Please ask questions and share your experiences with us all!

considering how the 1h and 4h closed, I think an immediate sell was the order of the hour

Thats exactly what I was thinking at the turn of the hour. After reading PA according to EO last night, I opened a short on the turn of the hour with a 25 pip stop. I took off half at +25 so it can be a BE trade.

I also liked the PA as a bull flag on the hourly and the candles formed a hang man on the M15, I think, on the 61 fib at 14435 so I bought on the open of the next candle there and have taken half off that.

So altho my profits are locked at the moment, a break above the high will yield a good return. A slightly different spin on this method but all trades are thanks to it.

Ezo - Can you post your 4 hour chart? (Interested to see differences as it varies depending on feed). Thanks!
