Here we are since two days, Gu has been teasing with the market and enjoying the ride beofre a total collapse...

What I learned from my trading experience is that, the market periodically chnage its pattern so that it becomes difficult to understand using the basic technical strategies...If you trade daily without stop...you are bound to failure, because the market changes its pattern

The only way to survive the market is to trade two weeks and do not trade two weeks. So alternate your trading period for every other two weeks. So, two weeks you trade passionately, and two weeks you sit and observe the market and highlte the pattern change the market is making.

You can always use the basic strategy once you have the grip on the pattern...

The first two weeks of January, Gu was making a market upmove, then, gradually it started consolidating..if you are daily trader without stop it would be difficult to pause and change to shift gear in your trading style...Its like if you hit the highway 140 miles per hour, and hten suddenly you hit a different slippery road with narrow lanes, you will deffinetly turn the car over and crash to the walls

I some what agree!

It's like switching between shampoos, so your hair looks better. (i've been told that)

But as a daily trader you should always think that the market can always teach you and suprise you.

And when ever I analyse the market conditions, I always think and say to myself it can turn around today,tonight, or on my next trade.

I'm 100% with you, I'm from California I have been trading on and off for the past 5 years, at times it can drive you crazy staying up all night and morning, messes with your head and temper.

The current pattern is slippery tube going range bound. Inside the tube, the prices are moving with a super speed walll to wall,,its like nuclear electron is under firy reaction with a catalyst lit up...this might send the price to shoort up once the tube is open to 1.64xx level after observing for few days....I call this a danger zone...then it will naturally come down with ease and no tease....

Usually todays and past few days price actions environment is called Trader's Paradise...because you do multiple trades, and if you are managing some one else's money then you are bagging commission lot more frequently...But this is not a good environment if you are managing your own money

Heya Chris!
Happy New Year mate!

I took a 4 month break: something called "Life"

I wasn't happy with my trading performance - I was scoring impressive wins, but just when I was approaching graduate consistency, I'd @*&^% it up. So only needed a few of those to knock me back and think things thru => didn't want to over-trade.

Started again (err... now that I'm a single man again) with a Demo account to try out some disciplined strategies which are so far paying off. Am also trying to factor in some fundy info which GM has influenced me on. Currently reading "Bird Watching in Lion Country" which is a great mix of this.

Anyways, I saw you open your own thread! Congrats! I've only skimmed thru, but I remember I so related to your journey - we is brothers from another broker! Gonna catch up on it though, cos I really dig your trading style as well. Hope the pips are coming in consistently!

Well how about that.... last night I was moping that I hadn't seen all you guys and now you all come out to play.... makes me fuzzy

LOL

Plus you have good resistance around 1.6330 (upward, hourly closed price trend line that was recently broken)

Few days ago I told that I am ready to short cable around weekly fib 50.

I did it at 6340, and closed according to plan at +50. Later it it went back and tested 6357. There I shorted it again, at @6350. +50pips, again.

I don't want to blow my trumphet here, the only reason I shared it that I know that we are (or have been?) in uptrend (the last 5 daily candles are green), but shorts can also work if you keep yourself to your plan. and to your MM, of course

so go on bulls/bears, buy the dips, sell the tops and always use StopLoss!

GL all

I'm buying +13 for now. I think bad news for usd will come (75% chance is my guess). Why? Fundamentals, the economy is just going out of recesion, i said this in another post, Bernanke said mixed data is expected. I think good news will come later this year but not now.

Still, maybe bad news is already priced as it happened a few days ago.

Just a feeling.

Now I can only pray
