I remember you mentioned it but was confused about the 4HR charts, yesterday's 8am surge and Darling speaking.

You have to ask EO about breakout strategy.

HOLLA
I personally don't like to play a straddle play, I seemed to get burned more than success.

Unfortunately not. I had to install a new Zip program and have yet to figure it out. I will try and deal with it a little later but thanks.
What version of windows are you running bro? You should just be able to right click the folder and extract the file without installing a zip program.

I understand that bro! How do you think I feel after taking a 30 pip loss on 6 soldiers just to sit there last night and see it give me the opportunity to get out at positive numbers. So you know what I did, I went long on her ass last night at 4625 back across the 35/50 and reversed again on her short at 4660 to 4600 and then my trade this morning. I got my 30 pips back and more.
Nice

Yeah, I knew you and everyone else was pissed from that one.

Reason why I was gun shy this morning, when she hit the 1HR 62ema again.

No problem, we live and learn. :nerd:

I'm running XP but I have to be the most computer illiterate f_cker there is. Maybe we can have a computer speaker at the forex seminar.

I know what you mean bro! I decided not to even trade at all before the budget this morning... I only got 50 pips so far today... That h4 was looking confusing as hell .... The daily though was showing that we never crossed the tl....

I had to back away from the computer on that one. Good thing you're not on web cam. I thought naked trading meant no indicators on the charts.

Cash is an excellent position to have bro! I was confused on the h4 this morning as well, but I accepted the setup on the 15m with tight SL and got lucky I would say. Now, she's knocking on my SL at 4500.

Don't worry bro! We're not nudists. I do trade the Asian session though without SL.

4515 could be 61.8% Fibs retracement on 15M. But Fibs are not very reliable on short TF.
