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
Glad to see you, Turtle. It sounds like this whole school thing is going well for you.

Now if we could only get Infinity to show up. I hope he's okay!

Hey guys I got a program to convert the lessons kenneth lee had ibeen posting up and i think eo's also. There were all the jpegs on the link kenneth put up to download.

I wasn't sure what to name it, so i just called it trader 2.0, if you guys have an idea, I'll change it. Also anyone have a suggestion of a site to host this at? It's running at 24.5 megs.

Good morning everyone! I hope some of you took advantage of this statement. I know a couple of people who did!
Pippi, I'm a little disappointed that only 2 other people took advantage of the price level I had posted. It's a shame! PA was there and everything. Almost a 200 pip run south.

I can't upload the file, it's to big. Around 24.5 megs.

If you guys don't mind check out this site, its a direct download for it. I'm hosting it there. If you see anything wrong with it please let me know, I'll update it. Hopefully there will be a 3rd version of this.

EO I sure hope that more people took advantage of it but just haven't been around to post. It was one of the cleanest higher time frame S/R with 15 min PA trades that I have taken in awhile. The best thing about it was I was able to book some profit and set my stop at BE and go back to bed and wake up to nice green pips.

Thanks Eo, I really go over your post and try to visualize what your seeing and trying to convey, I dont always enter at that moment cause I need to fish on my own but I must admit it helps when one knows where the Bite is!!

Off to the pub for some liquid therapy and the best part is the pips are still coming must admit I've taken alot off but whats left should pay for a hell of a bar-tab I am pooped lets party Rock On!!http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/dollar.gif

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.
and besides, what's the phrase?...
"I'd rather be out of a trade i wish i was in that in a trade i wish i was out"

i can't tell you how many times i saw great PA, entered, set SL to BE...got my SL hit...did it again...same thing only to have it skyrocketing off in the other direction...
THANK GOD FOR BE SL'S...

Hey guys... I'm still around but extremely busy outside of trading.. I'm only able to trade higher timeframes now based on time constraints. I see you all are still doing very well.. Keep up the good work and keep nailing those pips...

Big up Eo, Turtle, Cisco, Pippi, Ken and the rest of the gang... Talk to you soon...

Should you choose to go, do, and be, at the end of your life, shocked and dismayed, you'll likely exclaim that because of all the uncanny events, wild timing, weird coincidences, and sheer chance encounters, all of your life's good fortune must have been your destiny.

Or, should you choose to wait, wish, and hope, at the end of your life, shocked and dismayed, you'll likely exclaim that because of all the uncanny events, wild timing, weird coincidences, and sheer chance encounters, all of your life's bad luck must have been your destiny.

Do you see what the difference is?

Good morning everyone!

Hope you guys are in profit and covered with your tray table in its upright position and your seatbelt on. NFP in about 30 minutes.

I'm certainly a believer in making your own luck. I think there's a quote from a sportsman that goes something like....

"The harder I practice, the luckier I get"

My personal experience with trading is that the more effort I put in the more reward I get out. Seems like a fair deal to me.

Happy Friday to you too Ken. I hope you've had a good week

Cup of tea and a biscuit, that's what is wrong with the rest of the world. It should be a cold beer and pizza.

Amen to that. No wonder us Brits are a spent force with our tea and biscuits.

Any chance you'd sponsor me for a US green card? (don't answer that)
