I thought people could get shot for wearing boston hats in ohio
Site looks good

You would be stunned how many people have something to say about it. Columbus is halfway between Cincinnati and Cleveland, so it's a big fan base for both. The Clippers, our local team was a AAA affiliate for the Yankees for years....but now we are with the Indians.

Funny, Steinbrenner told Columbus to get a new stadium or he's out of there, taking the Yankees affiliation with him. He is actually from here, and it shows what an ass he is. So they left, and we built a beautiful park anyways! (Huntington Park) It looks like a Camden Yards type stadium.

So now that the Yanks are hated, the Red Sox are "less bad" these days!

Hey now. The Red Sox are my team. I don't mind any other team but the Yanks. I am glad their AAA team moved out of Columbus before I moved back to Columbus from Boston. Go RED SOX.

I used to be in the navy and one of the people I hung out with was from ravenna or something like that and they were die hard browns/indians fans. I never met anyone who would get instantly depressed on sunday.
Went out there a few times and became a fan of the buckeyes football team. Anyone who makes it to one game there has to be amazed by the loyalty. Thinking about I never even made it into the stadium.

Yeah, Ohio State football is something to behold. The average attendance is 110,000 and there are at least as many outside the stadium. Growing up here, I had no idea NFL stadiums were so small. I can still remember when I saw RFK in D.C., I was thinking, "Where is the rest of it?"

Soldier Field in Chicago is tiny.

Ravenna is near Cleveland, so that would be what's wrong with you friend!

You really should come to Columbus for a game if you ever can - it's an experience to say the least.

I have tickets this year to Navy, USC, and Wisconsin. Should be a good time.

After the 0.88 was broken it went up straight but I thought it would go more. A short review to find out that the price is at 50% retrace. Maybe the current location could also be seen as equilibrium point, I think chris can answer this. But I still don't want to take this trade off as it has still 90 pips to breathe. If it breaks below the 0.88 my stop could be hit by a nice weekly bearish pinbar at a good location for shorting this again. I'm in this one for 11 days now and feel much more comfort giving back again 90 pips as to see may plan working out on the sideline.

One thing to think about:

When I let a trade run like this, I have to be able to give back (in this case say 90 pips) in order to give it a chance to make more.

There are people that would say "Why in the hell did you give back that 90 pips?" But if you didn't let this trade breathe like this - you would have never had a chance to make a larger gain.

I have never had a 500 pip trade that I didn't give back something on......

This was a major change in my trade management caused by you. Before I have been scalping and executed 200 trades in my first month on my live account and made a little gain, maybe with gods help or just luck.

After this experience I thought that if working one additional hour for my company every week would give me more captial gain and there should be another way. Needless to say that this was the time I still believed on a way to double my account on a monthly basis. And against all opinions it MAY even exist but if so, you can't find it by searching instead of being hit by a big aha moment. However, this is not my goal anymore.

It was funny that I knew much about S&R, TL, fib etc. already from lurking in forums and also read a book about candlestick formations but your and J16 threads had shown me that these two can (must) be combined !! Thinking back know I must have bind kinda dumb nut.

Before this insight I could not imagine how one can set a stop for 100 or more pips. But now I know that these combined weapon give you the ability to aim in the right direction. It's just like a rocket launcher which needs a bit space behind for something not being burnt.

Just my to pips from a (former) dumb nut.

Dude, OSU needs to get a new mascot. What the hell is a buckeye? A nut? Come on. I was at a Penn State - Ohio State game a few years back where after OSU scored and the mascot came out running with the big OSU flag and fell. The flag covered him and the cheerleaders had to help him up. I pissed myself laughing.

Nothing beats 110,000 shouting we are ... penn state. Only 5 more weeks to kickoff.

Help me make my next 1000 pip trade and I'll get you PSU-OSU tickets this year. HA.

I am just wondering how everyone is doing out there? I have been very slow on the forex front, nothing really good in the past two weeks. What's everyone doing? I don't trade anything lower than 4H. The 4H, 1D and Wklies have all been dry.

So what have I been doing you might ask? Tradin stocks of course. Have also been re-reading Pring's Price Patterns and Trading for a living. Excellent reads. In the evenings, I have been watching more videos about price action. Oh! and I have been demoing futures trading, some really nice gains on my papermoney in the past 3 weeks.

What's everyone up to?

I had a rough month when looking at my long term trading which I just couldnt seem to be at the computer when my entries hit caught a few. But Ive been using a shorter strategy that is working and Ive made enough to be happy about. Ive never read Pring but heard the name many times, Ive read Nisson and the info is great seems to be geared towards stocks but Forex is mentioned as well.

I noticed that the Daily has shot up right thru two barriers and all of a sudden hits one and immediately appears to have stopped. Im looking for the daily to close below the 8300 mark. On the 4hr Ive got a huge bearish candle that to me shows the bears are trying to take control. If the daily closes as it is right now I can get away with a 100 pip stop. Ive been short on demo since last night from 8300. It just wasnt good enough last night. It keeps looking better to me.

The exact same as you. Reading up on PA, learning about stocks, took fictional shorts on AMZN, and UNP, but FX isn't giving me anything.

Thanks CW for showing us we need not be limited to FX, I've got oodles of homework right now, and I'm not even considering learning about options yet.

Well....back to Pring, and I was emailed "the encyclopedia of chart patterns" from another poster here at FF, all 1035 pages. If anybody's interested in a copy, shoot me a PM.

As some of you know, I am trading some money for others now. In the process of doing this, I have had to look around for brokers. Needless to say, it's been an experience.

There is one that remain nameless (smaller shop) that was offering to give me a 1 pip rebate on every lot I traded for clients. Think about that for a minute. That is totally not in the interest of my clients.

I would make $10 every time I traded a lot of EUR/USD. That would add up after a while. It encourages scalping. A lot of it. It encourages taking trades when they are not really there.

A bad scene to say the least.

I saw Florida State in Columbus years ago. OSU won 56-3 or something like that.....of course it was 1980!

My how times have changed. The wife and I are thinking of moving to Florida in the next year or two.....Clearwater or Miami......

So I will have to find somewhere else to go to games.
