That is a definate formation. I never have played one that formed over that long of timeframe, have you John? It is clear on the 4H too. As I've said before, I never trade off 4H, just because I see more clearly on the 1H. Theoretically, it should work on a longer timeframe, right? I've just never looked at the bigger picture before, because I focus on intraday. I'm going to have to keep an eye on that. Thanks for pointing it out John!

Did you clear with more profit on the Aud, or did you let it hit your stop? .7980 didn't hold well at all. I...
i have just started to look at the formations,so im new to it

i have just finished dinner a nice pizza ,a bit more than $1.77

morning dad,

lovely drop we had a minute ago.... if only we'd seen that coming i'm b/e at worse from now.

fishing was a washout.... was going to be an overnighter but the wind and rain put a stop to that! we were at the base of a cliff that was literally falling down around us so after a few fish a piece (non of a good eating kind) we legged it home about 3am. though the walk back up the cliff with my rain soaked gear was gonna finish my off.... never going there again lol

on a plus point i had my best ever golf round of 10 over! my diving...
Excellent golf round! My best was a +13. Congrats! It's trout season now here, so I will be going up to one of the mountain lakes soon.

USDJPY is flat. It needs to see 96 and the Cable needs to hold under 193 for this to continue for now.

It just broke the squeeze, but I just realized, for that size of a range in the squeeze, the safe spot for a stop would be on the otherside of the wedge, which would be near 159. I know plenty of traders that excel at these type of moves, and are happy placing 200 pip stops, but I just don't have the "cajones" for that.

I had Pizza yesterday. LOL The one nice thing about having all the casinos in town is that they all compete for business by offering great deals on food to get you in the door.

oh i'm jealous! i was over in BC (British Columbia) for a month of so visiting friends and I really loved the country i must say! just heading up to the mountains for a few days camping etc was strange to be amongst wildlife that is actually dangerous lol had several bear moments that made my sphincter squeak.

I know your not in bc but I imagine the terrain to be comparable?

BC is gorgeous! Bears can be scary! What is worse, is BC has more mountain lion attacks than any other place in N. America! Not to mention Bigfoot (Sasquatch) sightings!
I live right at the eastern base of the Sierra Nevada mountains. To the east is a 3500m mountain range, covered with trees and snow, to my east, desert. It's a nice little town though. I like it. Lake Tahoe is only a 30 minute drive from here. San Fran 4 hours, and Vegas and LA is 7 by car, or 1.5 hour by plane for $70. Good location. My only problem is Europe is too far away!

As for the trading...... 156.50 just doesn't want to hold. I'm in a 157, with my stop at .10 for now.

Sorry you didn't catch anymore on that trade, but at least you are up for the day! I am jealous you live so close to Bali! Hell! I'm jealous you live in Australia! I'm very patriotic, but I really want to get away from here! I have 12 years until my daughter is 18, so I have a ways to go before I can pick up and move. That is, unless their mom wants to give me the kids! LOL

I hate to say it, but the only place I want to go nowadays in Ukraine, to visit my girlie friends...... I always would base my vacations on Fishing Diving and golf, now..... it revolves around my.......... love of Ukraine

You get well John. Hope you're feeling better tomorrow. I'm headed to bed now. I caught a few on the trades going into Tokyo that I outlined in the video. I'll post a follow up vid tomorrow.

I got stopped out while typing earlier on the GBPJPY. I thought it was going to carry more, I still think it will. USDJPY isn't cooperating right now. So, I will see you all here tomorrow. Have good one!

Hey all!

I just thought I'd let you know, for those who like the videos, I posted 2 more today. One video is reviewing the Tokyo moves that were outlined in the video posted yesterday. The newest one is just some comments going into London, using pyche levels on the GBPJPY, and talk about a trade I took going into GBP Retail Sales report coming out soon.

Speaking of Retail Sales...... sometimes I think the numbers get leaked out. A move back down on the GBP is happening now. I was anticipating good news, so we will see. If news leaked out to bigger players, and it is bad, that could be the expalnation for this sell-off. I've seen it happen before. My first couple of years was spent News trading.

Something stinks! Did you see that drop? The retail report was bad! That info had to leak, and some big players took the lead and started to sell an hour before us commoners got the info! Luckily I set my stop at 157.40, so I made a litte. Wish I knew who to get that inside info from!
