Good Morning Everyone!
I hope you all had a Green Day!!!

I thought I would post up my charts for some visual learning. The best way to learn is by actually watching and understanding the charts as you can only read so much about something. So here are charts for EURUSD, EURJPY and GBPUSD with highlighted possible entries at trendline retraces or s/r line bounces. Questions/Comments/Words of Wisdom are welcome!

McFly, would you please tell us at what point you went short?
Okay here is a brief explaination why I think it was a good idea to take the trade:

- 15 min shooting star which rejected to cross the 124.20
- the next candle went above 124.00 and came back down
- the 4 hr candle bounced from the 50 ema
- E/J was in the 50er fibo area of the last big downtrend
- no news event and from my point of view it was time for a retracement

Is there anyone here who can make an MT4 alert or indicator to go off when a candle crosses the 35ma and closes? I am not that good with making alerts.
Please ask questions and share your experiences with us all!

Actually, I've got something a little better in the works being programmed for us. But, for the time being, if someone has the ability to do a simple alert for BKG, that would be great.

Good morning EO,

How big can the difference be between the two candles?

Quoting tdeu

Brother, I have spanked the ladies for the past couple of days and they LIKE IT!

It's been insane!

Superbowl was totally pissed me off. My Colts got their ass handed to them. Not that they didn't play well, they did, but the Saints coach had bigger stones. I guess, since I'm in Indiana and Drew Brees graduated from Purdue, that I should still feel good, but I don't. Now we wait for next year.

I'm not a fan of automated trading, but I couldn't pass up seeing if this will payout. Once the EA is complete with backtesting, it'll be released.

I'm excited!!
