If you're having problems, I want you to take your h4 charts and find what you believe to be S/R and post it. We will review it and provide feedback. This way, your using your eyes first and then you can see it from our eyes.

EO
Thought i would take you up on your offer, EO! The S/R lines reflect analysis going back +/- 6 months. Too crowded?! Appreciate your comments!
Thanks a ton!

Morning all and goodnight to others,

oh and maybe a morning siesta coming for MACC..

Sorry MACC I will follow Gladis's lead and try to be quiet
Cheers Rob. A quadruple expresso took the edge off a little but I think your suggested siesta would have been the better option.

No gain no pain I suppose and it was self-inflicted after all

Not much happening though, so I am reading more head fixing stuff whilst watching graphs.

Any advice where I went wrong would be appreciated
I went long on the pin at 129.13 set the sl at 128.68 I could see support from the 4hr around 128.79. is it just one of thoses things that I got stopped out? or should I have done things differently,
Hi Logic. Are you referring to the 15m candle that formed 9/9.15am GMT?

(regarding the attachments it should just be a case of saving your chart image to your computer - however your charting package allows you to do that - and then selecting that file via the "choose file" button in the manage attachments window that appears when you click on attachments at the top of your posting dialogue box)

As well as the daily s/r at 16250 my Walmart charts have the daily 50ema sitting just below as well (16239). Just mentioning that because I know my daily ma's have been pretty far out of synch with others on here.

Oh! And as mentioned previously, my 4h 50ema is sitting at 16253

I'm looking for a turn north to start the right shoulder of a H4 shampoo.

What does someone with a big bald spot on their head know about shampoo?

I see what your seeing and I do have a small long from 6255. Now if you would just put your big order in maybe we will get that shoulder.

That big bald spot, as you put it, comes from headboard friction while bumpin' uglies. You should try it sometime, I'm sure your wife would appreciate it

I reserve stuff like that for the neighbor. I may end up with you in the same rehab center as Tiger.

No rehab center for me, bro. At my advanced age I'm operating under the motto of 'Use it or lose it.'

As I am just catching up reading a few days postings, I would like to say to
Ken, "if you are tuning in for f***sake come on back to the forum".

I read EO's comments to you and turned them on myself as if he was talking to me, to try and shake myself up and start focusing on higher time frame analysis.

I echo what both Pippi and EO have said. You have the right to make truckloads of pips and I believe you will but maybe this will only happen when you get a little selfish.

You have done so much for all of us and maybe now is the time for you to do the same for you.
If you are happy to employ a little selfishness and ask more confirmation from EO, Pippi, Infinity, David and the others' there could be further teaching implicit in your questions and their subsequent answers. Who knows these could be the final details that give some more of us that eureka moment.

I too have been missing some small understanding but as I believe someone else mentioned, I am unsure what I need to ask or see, to unlock the final piece of the puzzle. Maybe your questions could do this for more of us.

You selflessly started a job and put a lot of work into it, perhaps this is the final small part left to do. If there are words like pride, stubbornness, anger, holding you back, I hope they don't win. ( That's me being selfish )

Whatever your decision, I am glad to have shared time on here with you and wish you absolute success.
