I think I need to print of all the pdf files as well.. I stare at a computer screen all day at work non-stop, might be a little easier on the eyes to read something on paper. Nice trading to all by the way.

Here is a doc i built quite a while ago. I don't know if something like this has been posted or not. If so, then cool if not...then cool.
If you like it great, if not toss it.

I included the directions at the bottom of the document.

This is just a tool and by no means a promise of wealth

peace

I take profit at key S/R areas. Like now, I've taken more off of my position because of the tweezers on the m15 and how my h4 just closed. I'm not looking to reverse just yet because of the noise coming out in 15m. I see what your saying about cable looking tired, but please be sure to look at your HTF. The daily is bullish and we just closed a bullish h4. The h1 is showing selling interest, but I'm looking a little higher up to be a seller. 672x is an area along with 678x.
Good morning everyone! I hope some of you took advantage of this statement. I know a couple of people who did!

nice, that was my plan exactly! if it works for you, good chance itll work for me too.

i am curious of your reason to not trade asia, is it solely because of family/rest (which is my plan), or is it just not worth it in your experience?

anyway, thanks for the added info!
Asian session can yield some nice pippage! Check out the last Asian session with the run up we had. I was fortunate to have already been long going into the session, so pippage was had on my end.

I dedicate the Asian session to family/rest time, otherwise, I would trade it as well like I use too.

Morning all.

Where the hell is our brother, Infinity? He's sorely missed. This big ole plane needs a good navigator and there was none better than Infinity.

While you're searching, see if you can find Turtle. He needs to get his nose out of those textbooks!

I'm sure he will be getting a break by next week. He is probably having fun with finals.

Depends on my trigger for entry as to when I cover at BE. Just remember, if you get taken out at BE, you can always get back in if PA is supporting the move. I've taken the same position multiple times. Thus why I recomment booking some partial profit and getting covered. You get some pippage and no loss, you can always reenter.

You are correct.........what prize did you win? LOL!!!!


One more week and 4 more test. Will be back starting next Friday at noon, until school starts on Jan 11.

Will start doing the early London session, seems to be the one that moves in one direction. Hard to get up at that time and still be awake for school.

Hope everyone is doing well. Union break is over.......back to the books. :nerd:

HOLLA
