heres a seemingly odd but entirely relevant question:

what do you listen to while you watch the charts?

i cant bear to sit in silence, so i have something going nonstop. mostly im listening to episodes of top gear... and i try hard to stay away from anything too harsh as i seem to make bad trades with metallica in the background.

Nope, not a chance. Closed above the 50% for me. Seems like 133.26 (61.8%) is possibly in the cards next now.
Missed it by 6 pips (if you go by the bid). I'm slipping here...LOL

I'm thinking about going short when the current 1 hr candle will close below the 200 sma.

Edit: I'm talking about E/J.

And I applaud you for serving! By the time the year is out, I have discovered forex and may also have served a tour by 24.

[quote=robgsxr;3361971] I'm sure they will.


Before switching off, my wife looked at my 15 min chart "mess" with lines and fibs everywhere and said "can I see the chart without any lines"? After 30 seconds she suggested I should just place an order at 1.6134 -136 because that is where the support was for an obvious bounce. Nervous of leaving pending trades I declined and retired.

I think we all know the outcome of the story. Over analysing and too much precision can sometimes freeze us. I had Julia look at a number of different charts not showing the outcome and .....
you guessed it she pinpointed turning points on each of them

Yeah,but I bet she can't reverse into a parking spot Eh !!! hehehe

Decent shooting star MAY print on E/J 1 HR.Plus the daily MA's and 200 sma on 1 HR.

Then if a shooting star prints on the 4 Hr in abit over a HR may be sweet

My remaining brain cell struggles enough as it is so it has to be silence for me.

Morning Everyone.

Well the EJ blew through the 1H 62 so hopefully the 200 will hold it. A young lad like myself should have the right to bank green pips on his birthday!!
Happy birthday Captain! Many green pips to you!
Just digging in the trenches like everyone else!

A close below 132.93 (50%) will make me take a short shot I think. With my SL just above my wrongly set 62...LOL
