Well, Downloading FXPRO gave me a whole new set of stuff to look at - - and I'm excited.
Hi Dan:

Nice short on those inside bars. Can you share how you define an A++ set up for an inside bar? What the bars themselves look like? Do you require a close in the upper or lower 25% of the inside bar, size of the bar relative to other bars nearby, etc.?

Hi Mike:

Thanks for posting the CAT chart. I do notice that when looking at weekly and daily charts, the A+ pin bar and outside reversal bar set ups get better follow-through and runners than on a 15 minute chart so exiting the entire position at 1 X R on those charts is leaving a lot on the table and counter-productive. Is that one aspect of what you are trying to tell me?

It also seems much easier to get follow through and find a nice s/r level based on prior bars to use as the place where you move your stop to break even.

If I ever knew this business was about so much pain, frustration, sleepless nights... I would never have even though about it. It looked like pushing buttons business lol. But anyway you made it a little less frustrated Jim. At least People here know what to look for and have a good chance to master the rest. You are a good dad I guarantee not only for your kids but for us too

lol. good old rick. people love rick here. god that made me proud.

seriously all i want is a safe place to raise my kids and the freedom to pursue my dreams without someone telling me they know better how to run my life.

is that too much to ask?

Texas doesnt play that bs progressive game. look at the progressive states. they are bankrupt just like the country.

How big is a 3.8 trillion dollar budget?

George Clooney's recent telethon for Haiti raised 66 million dollars.

Big number, right?

George Clooney would have to have a $66 million telethon every day for the next 158 years to match the spending in the current US budget.

We are all watching supposedly intellegent people try to tax and spend
there way out of a deep deep recession.

I SWEAR IM EITHER IN THE TWIGHLIGHT ZONE OR HELL.

The "actual" estimated "true" unemployment rate is 17%, those being counted
(on unemployment) and those that have given up.

I dont care what party you subscribe to or what ideolgy you follow this is
pure madness.

A blood bath is coming in November.

in texas we have a multi billion dollar surplus and we dont even have a state income tax.

go figure huh.

no one gets turned down here for healthcare either. not even illegal immigrants.

go figure huh.

so why is this the case here? because progressives dont run this place.

im sure i offended someone but for gods sake you rank and file dems need to take your party back and save the country i know you love.

We trade here with relative certainty. Good PA, PPZs, A+++ setups, there really is relatively little doubt how it's going to pan out. Where we get killed (myself very much included) is in taking mediocre setups on hope. Or playing the tables with the EURCHF because, well, maybe, just maybe....

The last play I see on that chart was around 1.5. Bounces off that level and breakouts through it were good plays IMO. And that's because it was solid support. Anything after that was dancing with gorillas.
Nice rant Tia -

I don't know Jack about no intervention, in fact, I pay no attention to news or other manner of 'talk'. Fundamentals are a misnomer for me. That stuff is so complex that applying the term "Fundamental" is just plain silly. People get economics degrees over the course of many years and then work as a grunt for many more to begin to understand that stuff. I ain't got the time!

But I do know PA works. Period.

Here is my one trade this week - I selected this one trade vs three other ones available at the time because it presented itself as the easiest to manage, and right now, I keep it to one, maybe two trades at a time. I had no idea last evening's fireworks were coming, and I did not have to, PA said to get in.

That's right. I took only one trade.

Snapshot:

Pinbar at a BNR, PPZ and ICCE fib. What else could you ever want - Just enough room to get to BE. Price hit the grey box, and I went to BE. The rest was managing my stops (something you just have to figure out for yourself because that works best) Out for 4.9R. Two days duration. Absolutely no stress.

All I had to do was wait for this setup, and they come nearly every single week.

YEAH BABY.
Jim,

Not only do I want to thank you for starting this thread and everything that has evolved from those first few charts, I particularly would like to thank you for the videos in your PF guest section. Your rants and charts video has been praised many times in this thread, and I agree with that praise, but for me, it was the swissy video trilogy that gave me the aha-moment that made me see charts like I didn't before, and which made me understand where price is likely going to go to next, where it might run into trouble and reverse, and, if that reversal doesn't take place, what is likely going to happen next (retest/pullback -> continuation).

Once I realized all that, I saw it happen time and again on all the charts I came across. No matter what product (FX, commods, indices or bonds) or what timeframe. Price behaves the same, as long as it's a market traded by man. You look at the same as you did before, but you see something completely different. It was awesome, and it still makes me smile, thinking back at the moment I had that epiphany. PPZs rule!

Boy
It's not about how much you make, it's about how much you don't lose.
