Yes I have my own comapny that did financial database programs, the rewards are great when things are going well, the last 10 months have been dire to say the least. I never want to go through that again, so I think that this the right choice, Now it does not matter how bad things get I will be able to make a living and not depend on outside people to give me work.
Congrads bro! I think that is really a great thing and as EO says can really change your whole life.

I sure wish I could do this for a living.

what I see right now on the 1h is a 3 bearish down which failed to close sufficiently beneath the first red. In the past such a failure often results in a reversal with other signals to confirm further. Looking to see if this inchoate 15m trendline will hold with a candle signal or two for reversal (new range?)

Hey EO,

Don't be offended by that chump Stew in the cable thread. He's been doing nothing but screaming the TREND IS UP all the time. Yet when Price is moving down, and folks are raking in pips, he's nowhere to be found.

I saw him lurking in here yesterday and was about to welcome him but I knew this was his mission. To him, everything is a "trend" and one way only.

Anyway, on to raking in pips in BOTH directions

I'm not offended bro! I know what I do and I know how to do it. I don't need his acceptance or belief. I just enjoy trading and helping others. If what I post doesn't help you or agree with you, then don't take it. I believe I called all my trades today in our thread that I took and when I took them. The only one I didn't call was the 7035 short, but I took it while sitting on the couch watchin Phineas and Ferb with my son. My son gets me up in the morning and we chill and eat breakfast before I head towards the office.

Overall though, I'm not here to call trades for people, I'm here to show people how to see the trades themselves and share setups that I find are useful. I know of too many people that I've changed their lives to not let his smoke bother me.

She is definately getting tight. Our h1 looks like it's going to give us a DBLHC which supports a continue move north. Our h4 that closes in 5m as well is going go have a high low and lower high which shows the tightness. Now, this is why we fall to our m15. We know our range we're in. When she breaks the range, let price confirm the level before pulling the trigger. Last thing you want to do is buy it at 7030 just for it to fall on her face. Let the candle close across our range, confirm the break then jump in.

Morning guys,

Just officially ditched the cable thread, just way too many morons with internet connection.

Albchr summed it up about right. I am afraid that we might continue in this consolidation until the GBP rate statement. From volume spead analysis view buyers bought aggresively both dips so far for the day selling volume has not been that extraordinary. This range is tightening up and if we should favor positions longs have better odds since trend is up.

Also previous dips have been bought as well for the past two days. The bulk of trading volume happened exactly on the dips so that tells me that buyers have the upper hand so far. I always ask myself this question : if those were sellers why is not price going down.

I have a long covered from 1.6960 It is my plan to leave it open, I see we are getting the odd pin on the 15m but the range is so small I am not sure taking a short is worth it , sure if it starts heading for the floor I will change my opinion
