Will we try another short around the 4825-30 area?
I guess the answer here would have been HELL YES!!

I found your thread quite by accident a couple of weeks ago. I downloaded your files for study and have experienced a great improvement in my entries, and exits, with drawdowns kept to a minimum.

I have been trading for over 5 years, sometimes with great success, other times with great losses. In other words, my trading lacks consistancy, due in part to seeking the " golden indicator" with 15 charts of every type and discription running at once, taking trades in 8 currencies or more at times.

You have given me a great change in focus and I sincerely thank you for your efforts to help others by sharing your work...Swede

I made a right mess of today. I went long this morning at 4654 and sold out way too early, initially taking off half at 4678 and then closing in full not long afterwards. Not sure what went on in my brain when that 1h hammer appeared. Time to review the PDF I got some decent pips on another lon later from 4763 to 4780 and 4815 at least. Anyway I'll be back for the fight on Monday, have a great weekend guys

I'm glad to read that your finding success. This definately is not the holy grail to trading, IT DOESN'T EXIST, but it works and I'm going to quote my brother here with " PATIENCE + DISCIPLINE - GREED = SUCCESS" Those 3 items are a must.

Keep up the good work and let us know if you have questions or insights. We always love to hear about people having success with this system of trading.

Did anybody else grab the quick 30 off the 21 ema? It was tweezers and very similar to the set up EO just showed us.

Sweet trade, with the current trend, something is put into my tool box.

Nice job Pip...

In two hours, there were 3 possible trades of at least a total of 60 pips, just playing the bounce from 4800-4830.


Sidenote: Bad weather has pass, sun and fun this weekend.

Out to lunch
