I took another short back at 4490 with my remaining position. Most was closed out at 4400, so I figure I can add some more and look for 4450 for some more TP on them.

Hey Infinity,

When you get chance, please explain why you closed and took the long here.

Cheers

Sounds like a plan bro! My remaining long just got stopped out +2... I expected that to happen anyway.. I may be done for the day/week now.. but that may change...

I am going on the road now so good luck with your trades.!

I'm done once this trade is done myself unless there's just a damn fine setup asking for it.

Enjoy the road and have a great weekend bro! We'll battle again next week together.

I'm not a big drinker but I made a couple of gallons of kahlua a couple of months ago. I might have to uncork one and let her breathe before I take a sample sip in honor of a good week. cheers!
ENJOY....You deserve it after such a week....

Everyone I would like some feedback on your pippage this week. If you all don't mind when you get a chance, please let me know how this week was for you. Please include your weekly goal and what your actual was.
I would still like more feedback from others. Some have shared their success, I would like to hear more. Even if it wasn't success, I DEFINATELY want to hear about that. We have alot of lurkers everyday, so please share. If you don't want to post it on the forum, that's fine, send me a PM, I don't mind keeping it confidential.

In answer to your earlier question, I've taken 6 pips this week. That's not a lot, but that was on one trade, and I was testing one of your setups. I'm seeing trades and setups a lot earlier now, and understanding a lot more of why price moves where it does, and why price rebounds, and what to look for after the rebound to see where we are going after that.

As you already know, I've learnt a helluva lot in a short amount of time, and as a result of reading this thread and others, I no longer use indicators other than a MACD derivative for divergence.

I fully expect to be taking more trades soon and with a great deal of confidence thanks largely to the information contained within this thread.

Thanks EO, Infinity and the other contributors.

Hey EO, I have been reading over your pdf, I think its great. At first I would try to guess the direction and hold with limited technical analysis. I'm currently trading of the the 15m candles... if that's what you call it, I'm learning lol. So far I have made 60 pips in the last couple hours. I'll print out your pdf in color and read it again. I keep this thread open and refreshed to get more insight. Keep up the good work. One last thing how do you manage your losses ie, stop loss and profit taking? I seem to have the problem of getting out to early or waiting to long.

Hey EO.

Took just 1 trade -40pips yesterday.

I did post a question later about the trade,as it seems that you allowed the trade to go into a drawdown around 50 pips or so, but you did not respond.

Cheers
