Now you can see the power of this system. Keeping your eye on the h4 and h1 with key S/R and PA on the m15 will and does yield some nice pippage.

Once you gain confidence, that 300 pips will be cashola!!
I saw it the first day I read your first page EO. In my particular situation, I firmly believe this is the answer I've been searching for to fill my family's needs.

I promised myself I'd take 3 days of closely watching PA on the TF's you mentioned without actually placing the trades. Today was day 2. I can't tell you how hard it was to let them pass by. Especially after seeing each one do what I thought it would. I almost had to hide the darn mouse batteries...lol

But I have to know it was at least 51% good calls and not just luck. Of course, I've never really had any luck. Hmmmm.....

The markets are not going any where, so take your 3 days you promised yourself.

I hope this system provides you with what your looking for and more. I learn more everyday myself and I like it that way.

Right now, if you look at the h4, h1 and m15, you can plainly see she's just ranging. The m15 ma's are all flat and together, the h1 10 is running east and flat, the h4 is filled with long legged doji's. All range to me. I do favor a break south, but I'm not ruling out a charge upto 1.71xx either.

If we stay in this range, now is the time to buy down to 6892. We break/clear 6892, then we'll continue to the m15 200 and h1 62/50

Better than me... I got the open at 6912 after the pin...lol EDIT: At BE +4 now. in this dribble time, I'm content to let it take me out if so.

Did you take the short at 6951? I did but closed a bit early at 6910.

I think we might stay in this range through the Asian session, and we'll jump out of it either on the morning London news

5th-7th GBP Halifax HPI m/m 0.7% -0.5%
9:30am GBP Manufacturing Production m/m 0.0% -0.5%
9:30am GBP Services PMI 51.9 51.6

or the US news

Looks like about twice as many sellers this time as last Thursday! I would like to see a pullback to this tl for a nice long......or a retest of 7000 again for a short! 6950 might be a chance.

I am flat right now.

I did take the short at 6951.

I've booked 20 on the long I've taken and the rest is covered at BE. I'd like to see 694x area.

LOL...mine was stopped at the +4. Still, that brings today to +345. Not too shabby in my book. Sitting on my hands tomorrow will be a real test for sure...lol

Think I'll play it on my demo so it feels real at least.

That's some good pippage! Keep it up and you can do that daily and of course you can do the math from there.

I know your usually in the Cable thread, and that's a great place for a laugh, but we like to make real pips here. I hope to see you more. Please, anytime you have a question, ask, we have some excellent traders in here that will be very glad to help.

You know bro, I'm torn as to whether she'll break north or south. I'm favoring south, but I'm not ruling out north. We break 1.70 and I believe 1.71 area will come fast. Either way, I'm ready.

Debooo! It's nice to see you! I thought you were on holiday! Hope your enjoying your time. I like your chart and agree with the 7316-7415 area full of sellers. For some reason, I have 7148 in my head to be a bugger as well, probably from my dream and nothing else. Either way, I'm long and short on her atm, waiting for her to decide on a direction to breakout towards.

Now, get back to your Holiday! Enjoy yourself bro!

I got 15 and she's come back to close me out at BE. Let's see what happens when she crosses the m15 35.

I'm back from some appointments and it looks like I didn't miss a whole lot on GU.
Looks like there was a nice little short on EJ from the top.

Yes, there was a nice little short there and I had my price just 2 damn pips too high. Didn't get filled and she was already down 30 by the time I got to it.

I did grab 15 from 136.99 though, waiting now for the h4, h1 close and possible cross of the m15 35. Our m15 50sma is sitting right in line with the h1 10.

Pretty much why I go there. More of a social event for me than anything else. But it just gets too noisy and distracting for a new trader. I'm a social person so I can't help but want to jump in...lol I miss a LOT of trades that way.

Came here for exactly that reason EO as well as learning to put a bullseye on the trading. I know where the target is, (but the rings really help he-he). I have much to learn so yep.... ....I'll be here.

Words aren't enough but, Thanks!!!
