You have a great price there bro, I see the fed are talking about raising rates might take some of the pressure off the dollar

LOL......I just closed myself out by mistake. Started with .2 Took .05, wanted to take another .05 and leave .1 but didn't look and it was set to .15....

Between you and Pippi, keep nagging his ass to set the trade and let it happen. He knows the setups like a freakin Webster Dictionary! Faith now needs to happen for him!

Good afternoon guys......ic you all are on the southbound bus already. I been riding it up since resistance became support at 6600. Taken a couple soldiers off and still have 1 running north. Took a nice short earlier for 50 off the 6660 area and stopped out on the rest at break even.

Asis may trade this up but the 4h candle looks juicy! I will be on the short bus with u guys i suspect!

i just zoomed out the daily and 4h.....ic that spike high on the end of June at 6740 infinity spoke of earlier but i also see 2 daily high candles around the 1st week of august at 6720. If Asia trades it up tonight it may not make it all the way to 6740. Of course it may just fall right off soon. Crunch time!

I would like to apologize to everyone especially Cisco , His comments were accurate and his concerns valid. I had no right to say what I did in regards to his comments. If anything I should have done so privately.

I hope all is forgiven between us , So Sorry Cisco .. Ken
Sorry I'm late in responding to you Ken. I just got caught up with my reading.

There's no need for any apology from you. You expressed your opinion. That's a perfectly normal response.

I'm the kind of guy who appreciates a brutally honest answer from a person. I was never very good at reading between the lines. You gave a straight answer, so we're cool as far as I'm concerned.

Hi Eo and all other posters.

Have been lurking for about a month now, did post back in the beginning of august.

I just wanted to say thanks, you have changed the way I look at charts and have speeded up my learning, This thread is more practical than anything I have read in any books.

I have started reading the thread from page 1 and am up to early 400's,so still along way to go, trying to read 20-30 pages a night. I would advise anyone who hasn't read from the beginning, to do this as you can pick up a lot of very valuable information, there are loads of charts and great examples of trades. Plus it's also nice to meet everyone as they joined the thread and also see how they have progressed. I find it exciting knowing that other people are gaining skills that hopefully I can learn soon.

Anyway thanks for such a excellent thread , and for being so generous in helping people like myself.

Thanks everyone

Here is a classic example of a text book trading pattern. Noticed it worked perfect today so i thought i would post it. I went back and found the rules in an old trading folder i had.

This has nothing to do with Eo's system but more related to price movement as a whole. Works often on S/R levels and TL's. Price breaks support or resistance, comes back and retests the area and then continues on in the original direction. Price may also go back in the direction it came from so a traders' judgment is necessary in this area but price will usually stall and give time for a decision.

It is sort of like a 35/50 cross and reverse trade and then taking the next reversal candle signal.
