AUDCAD already topped

AUDJPY double top

AUDUSD at resistance

Could this be “code” or a “hidden message”?

What was said for USDFCHF is equally true of GBPJPY.

Now, what is GBPJPY's inverse pair?

It found resistance again at 90.30 although price isn't eager to bounce from it. Its stuck right now between support and resistance and I think its hard to tell what it will do right now.

Slightly off topic but journal related!

I'm trying to use the 'IF' command for my Excel journal.

When I take the closing level from the opening leve (for total pips difference) I need to differentiate between profit and loss relative to the account balance. I was using the 'ABS' command (absolute) which is fine for long etc but when you hit your stop loss (if long) and calculate the opening to stop difference it still shows as +ve figure when it should be a loss??

I was going to use the IF command and have a cell where I put a 1 for long and 0 for short, but I'm not that excel wizard like to understand it!! Then, if I was long (1) and hit my stop loss the Excel document would show a -ve figure (ie a loss) and not a profit (as it does with the ABS command). Vice Versa for short and O - or is there a much simpler way of doing this profit loss based on entry/closing price malarkey??

Many thanks - Grim

“”Strat, with all due respect, leave your middle finger for playing the guitar. [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Robert/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG]

I asked you about the difference between Outside and Engulfing bars for a simple reason. Here's what you said about them on your Web site:

Outside bars - called BUOB (Bullish outside bar) and BEOB (Bearish outside bar) on J16. Again, I stick with tradition and call them Bullish Engulfing Bars or Bearish Engulfing Bars).

Hence, when you started differentiating between them, I got curious as to why (the difference is suttle, as EBs occur when price gaps - which happens rarely in D1, let alone on W1 - mainly on Sunday Open).

As I am sort of "student" of yours, whether you like it or not, and since this is a public forum, let me tell you two words about The Path of TEACHING. "Respect" and "Feedback".

Don't assume someone is asking a question because he/she is dumb. Perhaps YOU didn't explain it properly.

P.S. I still like you thread.””

I have purposely refrained from entering into a mindless discussion on this so that I can answer you in a polite and objective manner rather than a knee jerk reaction which you seem to enjoy doing.

“”Strat, with all due respect, leave your middle finger for playing the guitar.””

“”I asked you about the difference between Outside and Engulfing bars for a simple reason. Here's what you said about them on your Web site:””

So, if you knew the answer to the question already, why did you ask? Had I known you were just on here to disrupt the thread, I would not only have given you TWO FINGERS, I would have told you to “GO FORTH AND MULTIPLY”.

“”the difference is suttle”” – PLEASE, learn how to spell, it is SUBTLE!

“”as EBs occur when price gaps - which happens rarely in D1, let alone on W1 - mainly on Sunday Open).””

PLEASE, PLEASE, continue thinking like this – we need LIQUIDITY in the market.

‘’’’ let me tell you two words about The Path of TEACHING. "Respect" and "Feedback".

Don't assume someone is asking a question because he/she is dumb. Perhaps YOU didn't explain it properly.’’

LET ME TELL YOU, as someone who has done more teaching than you have had spelling lessons, I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU THINK!

“”P.S. I still like you thread.””

You must think you are writing to someone who CARES whether you like it or not!

Now, LET ME TELL YOU, you are ONE POST away from being excluded from posting on this thread.

Finally, if you don’t like me, or others on this thread or the thread itself, “GO FORTH AND MULTIPLY” and run back to your nicey, nicey, kiss ass threads!

Below is the draft I decided NOT to post:

Forex007,

I have been reviewing your posts on here to try and better understand your mentality and attitude.

Post #6254 starts out quite innocently asking a very basic and newbie question. Then I do some research and see that you should already know the answer to this yourself as you troll many threads and keep the company of some very respected traders here on FF.

So, what is the reason for posting? Is it to trip me/us up, just be a nuisance or cause trouble?

Then before I can answer, you post #6255

Again, I study this very carefully and see that it is a very valid question although why, you, with your very experienced Buddy List, should ask this, puzzles me. I am inclined to think you are posting here to cause disruption, however I give you the benefit of doubt and post a polite reply with some sound advice on posts #6257 & #6258

Then on post #6262 you provide constructive information. Thank you.

Then comes post #6264 where your abrasive style comes to the surface. There is nothing wrong with challenging anything on this thread PROVIDING you can bring conclusive and constructive proof to the contrary. Clearly, on this post, it was just your opinion and a wrong one at that.

Since it was his post you were challenging, Blackeagle replied on post #6265 with very simple trading 101 explanations.

Also, since you invited him to “correct you”, he did so on post #6266

Then on your post #6280, you hit back at Blackeagle challenging him on BASIC PASR!

Now I’m beginning to understand that despite all your very respected trading “Buddies”, you are unable to absorb or learn from them and instead, continue with your own, ill informed and pre - conceived ideas.

Then on post #6281, the smart ass finally emerges. By the way, learn how to spell! – “”the difference is suttle,”” – “suttle” is spelled “subtle”!

If you don’t like me or my thread – I don’t give the proverbial rat’s ass – feel free never to visit again.

Then on post #6282, we see the smart ass with a HUGE log on his shoulder! If you don’t like the way we respond to you then PLEASE, leave the thread and run to your other “Buddies”.

With enormous patience (more so than I), Blackeagle POLITELY replied to you on posts #6283 & #6284

You seem to appreciate Blackeagles replies and post your thanks on post #6285

On post #6286 Blackeagle further clarifies the situation for you which you appreciate on post #6287

So, the purpose of this post is not to provoke further discussion with you, but to remind you, and any others who have ulterior motives, that this is a Professional Educational thread solely for the purpose of helping traders become better traders. Neither I, nor my certified trainers care whether you like us personally or not. All we care about is helping traders improve their trading.

You, as all others, are welcome to post your POSITIVE and CONSTRUCTIVE comments on here, however, if you feel the need to disrupt or promote your wrong, unproven and unfounded opinions then, PLEASE, kindly take them elsewhere.

Again, I don’t care whether you like us or need us, none of us are in a thread popularity contest. I have very few rules on this thread but you are very close to violating one of them – be careful or you may find yourself excluded from posting on here.

“”I would like to know if you consider the "momentum" of the trend””,...
Thnk you strat for your answers!

It is a bit confusing, since Weekly is doing lower-lows then it is obviously in a downtrend (as you said too). But the higher order trend (BIG BOSS) is up indeed, but if I am trading from Daily and Weekly is the BOSS should I care about that higher order trend?

By Higher Order of Timeframes you mean http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...&postcount=559 or http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=3360 ?

P.S. I quoted your whole answer, I dont know why it doesnt show.

Considering that English is my forth NON-NATIVE language, I think I am doing not that bad (in languages, and in controlling my emotions too - hm, talking about "professionalism", eh). But thank you for correcting my spelling mistake.

If you like correcting, you should like being corrected too (perhaps not). Now it's time for you to admit that either info on OBs/EBs was incorrect at your Web site (as I clearly explained, that was the reason for my original question - not to trip you, but to clarify), or that you didn't (don't?) know the difference yourself.

Nothing wrong with either, but it takes BALLS to admit when you are wrong. And you are a lady, in that respect, Strat. You are doing a great job at this thread, but your asshole attitude does not do you any good. You don't have to kiss my ass, but you don't have to be an asshole to be cool.


P.S. If you decide to ban me from your thread, shall I consider that an honour?..

P.P.S. If you are so good with cross-referencing past posts, perhaps you can do that as replies to the people's questions here (instead of sending them off, in one direction or the other). Just a friendly thought.

Hi Grim, i find no need to use IF. I appreciate if i knew more about Excel i could make it do more of the work for me, but i find manually doing some of the working out is good way to keep me more involved with my book.

I briefly looked at your PM today. Will try to find time tomorrow to answer and while i'm on, LEM, can you PM me your email address and i'll email you what you requested.

“”It is a bit confusing, since Weekly is doing lower-lows then it is obviously in a downtrend (as you said too). But the higher order trend (BIG BOSS) is up indeed, but if I am trading from Daily and Weekly is the BOSS should I care about that higher order trend?””

But you have missed that it is in a downtrend within the longer term UP trend.

Here is what I posted:

It is “down” within the longer term “UP” trend. The BIG BOSS is in an “UP” trend.

Did you understand my “role playing” analogy?

Have you tried walking UP a DOWN escalator?

You are trying to trade against trends in different time frames.

Do you understand the higher order of time frames?

“”should I care about that higher order trend?”””

If you don’t, you will forever be in the 95% of LOSING traders.
