Aren't you a follower of MP6140?
I probably should let this question slip on bye cause the mere mention of that name riles up everybody and their brother. (so if you get riled just pm me) I wouldn't call myself a follower because of the negative connotations but I am friends with him and talk to him frequently, and he has taught me an awful lot about trading. (no matter what people may think the man can really trade and does so day in and day out) The way in which i currently trade is similar to his but having said that I'm always looking to learn and as i mentioned their are a few other voices out there that I trust with Ken being one of them.

I think almost all of us have the same goal and that is to learn how to consistently take real money out of this market and as such we can help each other as has been happening on this thread.

Did anyone buy off the m15 10?
If you didn't, my question to you is why not? MA's on the m15 are angled north, starting to separate, no real PA supporting selling the price at 6530? Could have bagged and easy 20+ pips with hardly any drawdown and covered on your position now.

You guys wanted help on your setups, this is a textbook setup. It's in the PDF.

You've got to let the trade happen. Unfortunately, you've cut yourself out of some nice pippage.

Obvious trade I thought. Hell, just 3 m15 candles back, price did the exact same thing.

What's up brother? I see you've been busy, but still able to snag some pippage. I also saw your eye on 674x which made my third eye open up. You know, I'm still holding a short position from the top of the mountain with SL at 6700. Considering adjusting that SL to 6800 and adding to the short position around 674x-676x.
Yeah bro!... I'm eyeing a retest of the weekly tl.... though I know that 6600-6620 will be solid....

I'm definitely looking to short that 6740-60 area should we get there.. but you know how we roll.....

Everyone, make sure you look left on your h4. You'll see the tweezers that sent us down yesterday. 656x -658x going to provide some resistance on the move north.

I was filled at 134.38. We talked about this level yesterday and the m15 PA was showing the selling. I set the PO, drove into work and was filled by the time I got here.

Almost 40 pips could have been had off that trade so far and it's still moving north. Your price would have not been comprimised and you just move the SL along with the m15 5/10.
