Just curious David as to why? Is it because we're at the bottom of the 15m channel?

I ask because to me, based on the 15m MA's and candles, it "looks" like it may continue down some.

6000 pips this week alone who is laughing now
Kind of a mediocre first full time week. I expected better things from you.

Great job!

Glad to see everyone is doing well. Just checking in because I have to run back out the door for an appointment.

1st week of school and teachers are keeping me busy with homework, so now I have to trade of off Daily/Weekly charts. Picked up 100 pips this week on one trade, so that was nice for not looking at the charts too long.

This weekly candle is shaping up to start looking long for me, that's a nice bounce off of my TL from 7/13/08.

EU and EJ looks to be shaping up that way also. I will look more into it tonight while having a talk with Bob.

Enjoy your weekend....

HOLLA

Baz my brother! You're always welcome here! You and I know how this works, people don't understand and they think their way is the only way. Their the same people who sit on a shit trade while it goes against them 200 pips and they refuse to accept that their position is wrong, but they are never wrong. I agree with you, it saddens me as well for some of the BS that goes on and bashing. Atleast here in my thread, I can control it, outside of the thread though, I'm subject to bashing and ridicule, thus why I will not visit the cable thread for another 6months to see if things have changed, but I'm not expecting a change.

Please continue to share your views here, their always appreciated!

Have a great weekend bro!

It never changes, and probably never will. Thus why the thread starter has nothing to do with his thread over there except for a time to time stop by. I can't blame him one bit!

Not to step on EO's toes.. But that is what I have been trying to show over the last two weekends post. People are constantlly confused and feel left out when they here that EO and Infinity Pippin and now others got in at a top or bottom or even in the middle.

The Key is a High or Low a Trigger (shooting star, hammer Hangman..) The entries off of them are FOREVER valid until the extreme price on them is broken by a CLOSE of a current candle.

Most like Davids just said use a extreme tight stop on them. To test the area to see if it will hold. But this is where we watch dumbfounded while others are getting those great entries. Lower your risk per trade so you don't feel threatened and take the leap off the Previous Price Action..
