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

I see their prices and know they are takeing them but aparently i would reather shoot myself in the foot and wait.
Hey bro! Are you using the worksheet? I've not gotten very many responses about changes to it, so I've not been too pushed to get it done. If you use the worksheet, it should show you a better picture. I know it's hard to place a sell order when price is charging north and has been for about 200 pips, but we have to bro. If we are reading our higher TF charts properly, then you'll be fine. Don't get me wrong, we all have losses, it's about the control of our losses that's also key. When I sold yesterday at 6580, everyone was calling for cable to blast through 6600 and on the road to 6700, not that it wasn't a possiblity, but like I said yesterday, I couldn't buy it at that price, so, where's my S/R, and I sold it. It's against how 90% of the traders trade. Most wait for price to move 200 pips north before they get in north. Little late for the party usually if you do that. You're doing good bro, just keep doing your homework with your charts and before you know it, you'll be picking the cherries off the tree.

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.
That amazing I have only seen them once, I have seen loads of other Uk bands this side of the pond the members of Dire Straits live about 20 miles from me and every so often give a concert in the New Forest, great way to spend a a Sunday afternoon drinking beer and listening to music

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

[quote=eohater;2901415]Hey bro! Are you using the worksheet? I've not gotten very many responses about changes to it, so I've not been too pushed to get it done.

I did post a response after you kindly posted your worksheet but, in case it got lost in the wash, it was just to say that by putting that part of the method into words you really helped me stay focused on the lower time frames. I'm ok out on the daily, 4hr and 1hr, but sometimes get a little lost in the moment on the 15m.

Your comments about the 35pip guide on ranging helped a lot.

Thanks,

Macc

We all know I like a good roll, so I've taken a long position at 6415, SL is at 6388. My shorts are still marching as well. I'm just tired of watching this bitch sit here! MOVE

I did see your post, I was more concerned about changes people might like to see to it. I've made some changes and have suggestions from others as well, so if you would like to see any changes, let me know. Send it via PM though otherwise, it might get lost in the shuffle of the thread.

I liked your other post better! I might make good money and all, but it doesn't mean I'm not aware of price gouging. It's all about the pennies and nickles bro! They add up! I won't walk past a penny on the ground. If someone throws their money down like that, I'm not ashamed to pick it up!

Hell yes brother! I'm thinking in the trillions though. The amount of revenue generated from the legalization, the number of business that would be created (most are there, just not legal and tax paying individuals) is freakin sick. California has some of the best land and climate for growing the magnificent bud.

Sorry My friend didn't mean to offend I agree and after rereading it I deleted.

I added some margin notes but that was more to get certain parts through my thick skull. If I believe any of my notes may be good for feedback purposes I'll PM them over.

They sure do, their bud seems to be really green, compared to this side if the country.
