It's possibly though. But here's one item everyone needs to research and understand. Recessions that are spurred by a financial demise are long and harder to come out of than any other type of recession. They can sometimes lead from one recession into another. Look at the early 80's, we had two back to back financial recessions, then Reganomics came along to spurr us out of it. I truely do not believe the world is coming out of this, I think we will see 6700 on the DOW again, I think dollar strength or risk aversion will come alive again in the...
good stuff bro, we have had a rally in risk thats all - no big fundamental shift as u rightly point out

new lows in stocks could well happen, will be interesting to see what happens later on in the year, October always bad for stocks,

"Dow peaked in 1929 and it was 25 years before we saw a new high emerge. It peaked again in 1966, and it was 16 years before a nominal price high. But remember, we had inflation in the 70s and if you account for that, it was 25 years before we saw a new, real price high. The Japanese stock market peaked famously at the end of 1989 at 40k. 18 years later its at 8000. Its got another 7 years to get back to its high. Dow peaked 10 years ago it shall be until 2025 before we see an emergence of new price highs." - quote from interview with Hugh Hendry

No problem with the rant bro.....

It's all about the media, hyping every little thing up.

Like I saud before until unemployment goes down and the housing market turns around, it's all just hype from CNBC.

HOLLA

Turtle, you should know this trade setup! We've talked about it with the cross of the 35/50 and the 35 pip rule.
Oh, I know the setup, my problem is that I'm waiting for the close of the candle to confirm and twice, by the time she closed we are 40+ pips on the run.

Is it better to get in when price drops to that area????

This is something I see you and Infinity do well and I'm still learning when/how to get in before the candle closes. :nerd:

Happy trades to everybody

I bought by the rule 35/50 cross/reverse, at 6075. It almost hit SL, but then went up. Closed +22.

For 6050 - you, guys, have some nerves to wait for it!

I do like how the h1 closed out bro! But I'm not greedy, so I've taken more off at 6125. Covered at +15 now on the rest to run.

Thats the area I am looking at....a little lower though... most of my position was closed as it was pretty heavy and I even took some more at 6130.. Very small portion left with this line in mind...

It's the same rule bro on the 35 pips. Just set the PO 20 pips lower than the closed price and then your SL is only 15 pips. Let the market pull you into the trade. Good job on the +22!

OK, thanks.
Another question, do you enter for such trades manualy at all, or your decision - manualy/PO - based on other criterias?
