I've always thought of "him" as a big Turkey

Thanks Ken. 100% square and pure down to joining this thread (which I suppose I have to thank "him" for). A great method but, equally, a great group of traders contributing to the thread's upkeep, none more so than you

I am consistently 15 to 20 pips behind on my entries.

I was chatting with one of the guys this morning and we decided the cure might be that we should be looking for chances to buy something like our girlfriends do.....out at a fire sale with our credit cards.

Anybody have another cure for that problem. Where is Cisco...bet he could help!

For those who were short, great job.

Had two losses this week, but overall I'm up 1.5% on my account, so I'm happy and done for the week.

Bob is waiting for me later on.

Looks like we will have to wait another week to break this area, will post a weekly chart tonight.

I know Cisco wasn't feeling well last week, so I think he took some time off.

Yeah, entries....entries...entries, the key to Forex. :nerd:

Depending on what chart your actually trading off. Make some notes either with small trendlines or whatever you have to work with where these turning areas are off the higher time frames. Then when price approaches either enter when it starts to pull back. It is always a risk the key is to pick more than you lose then let them run till exhausted.( which I seem unable to do ) and being at a LEVEL your stop should be tight. 20 or so. But reading EO and Infinty and Pippins post that is the ONLY way they get their entries. Hell I never see half of EO and Infinity's prices. Just a thought... Good Trading to you.

Will probably make some more calls while partying this weekend.

To help legalize marijuana call 1-973-409-3274 and listen, then press #. None of your information is needed, just simply press? # and if we get 1,000,000 votes before August 6th, 2009 (8/6/09) then President Barack Obama will consider legalizing marijuana.

Yeah...it all boils down to trusting your signals and reacting without hesitation.

Had a great time last night! They are amazing! You've probably had more of an opportunity of seeing them than me. I've only been to 12 of their concerts in my life time.

Be carefull and don't dial the wrong 900 number while partying with Bob might end up with a huge phone bill...

Good deal on your account that is the key to be able to survive loses and not have them wipe us out.

I am STILL struggling with my Money Management, and had about the same results as you.. But any positive is good.. But next week we are kicking butt !!!

To avoid a situation like that, I will just keep hitting re-dial.

You are correct, being able to take losses and still end up positive is a good thing.

Hopefully next week we get a nice trend going, but anything can happen.

I wonder if Barack would accept reverse phone charges and a vote from a non-US citizen
