I appreciate everyones compliments and I hope some older more skilled traders have looked them over for errors. I hope they help others to see the trades. I know they will help me. That is one reason I did them. Never got anywhere in school without homework,, Looking for a new week to see what we can do..

I will be reviewing these at least once a day until I have them memorized. Also will add more as they become available to us..This seems like a good mix to start with though.

Pretty darn tired of looking at charts already and the week hasn't started yet.. And what is up with this page ? Is this page opening up weird for anyone else ? To big for my screen but just this page.

Take care and let the games begin.... Ken Lee

I thought so but I didn't do that someone asked a question and pasted it to the text. I just answered.. I don't know how to attach them that way.. But I will see if I can delete my answer or the chart from my reply.. Thanks Ken

Well fixed that one any way... Thansk again..

Hey all - updated the ppt and pdf with Ken Lee's charts. Unfortunately, even zipped they are too large to upload to FF so I posted them here:

http://www.4shared.com/dir/13892089/...hatYouSee.html

If you have any problems pulling them down from that site, drop me a PM with your email address and I will unicast them to you.

BTW - Just a suggestion for future chart booklets - if you set the background to white prior to taking the snapshots it will be much easier on the printer ink usage. Just a thought.

I see everyone has been busy this weekend! Very nice work guys!

I've been busy for the last h1 making some nice pippage. I hope everyone got a piece of the action. She played nice on the 15m chart.

Morning EO - What's your take on where she'll be heading next based on current PA/candles?

I still have 2 soldiers on the filed running south. Their entry price is 4585. One will come off at 4540, the other will come off at 4500.

Thanks bro, I'm short as well but my entry isn't as good as yours. I'm still showing her green right now and just moved the stop to BE after the close of the second 15m candle. Waiting for the sellers to come in and give her a nice shove south so I can at least get "half off" and have a decent dent in my goal before getting the kids ready for school.

Good news - just got half off for about 26 pips, so based on my monetary goal for today (50 pips * $/pip trade size) I've got her locked in at about 35% of today's target (and this is first trade of day - woke up too late to catch the trade from about 4600).

Damn, didn't like the way the last 15m was shaping up, and moved the stop down too soon and got stopped out at 50% of daily goal (Of course there are MUCH worse results possible, and it could climb from here.) Will be looking for a new seat to nab 25 (or more - depending on what she offers) starting in the US session.

Alearner - If you are referring to the yellow line, that is the 15m 200SMA. As for the text stating 1H 62EMA, I'd think that's incorrect (it appears to be showing the value of the 15M 200 SMA based on what I see there).

Guess we'll need to wait for "sleeping beauty" to awake from his nap to enlighten us...
