I would have posted the chart, but so far only managed to copy it in paint
Don't worry I am determined to figure it out (afraid I'm becoming a bit of a neanderthal when it comes to all this new technology stuff)

1. Save your picture

a. Using MT4? Right click on your chart, select 'save as picture'

choose 'active chart (as is)', otherwise you might lose half your chart

save it somewhere - make sure to select jpg, png or gif. Dont choose BMP. Bitmaps hurt feelings.

b. Using something else and cant find a similar 'export/save as as picture' command? Take a screenshot by pressing the printscr button on your keyboard. Since my NT has account numbers, balances, positions and other stalkerish detail all over it, here is my itunes instead. Angel Eyes rock!

then paste it into Paint (Windows 7) and choose 'save as' to save it

*edit*
To paste, you can either use the Edit -> Paste menus, or press ctrl and v together. The latter method makes you look like an IT pro, and the ladies will be all over you.

I'm going to post this as a reminder of how simple chart time/studying can give you a solid HINT of what is going to happen in the future....

Here is the original post as evidence:

Here is the short convo that followed:

And my attachment below is my follow up.
Cool eh?

As I said, I do it all the time. Great exercise, builds more confidence, and helps to prevent overtrading. Keep a record of them. It helps.
I bet none of the talking heads with all the financial degrees new what is going to happen in the future. But we Knew.

As usual, James16's principals rock.

Hey Guys,

Great charts Benji as usual. Ive started my backtesting with weekly bars on EUR/USD starting 2000. Its very early to make anything but the year 2000 gave 7 PA bars. Every single one made it to the first trouble area, i.e. ppz or a cluster of bar highs/lows. I have a long way to go but I can already see PA is powerful.

Lots of inside bars today, The only interesting bar I spotted on daily is the CAD/JPY, but it missed BEOB status by 3 pips on my feed. There is still time though. If it broke 87 good chance of getting to 365? Will mark and watch, but not playing it unless it becomes valid bar.

My fault - it's too early for my brain

when you do the 'save as' part, make sure you choose jpg, png or jpg. You are probably saving as a bitmap, which sux.

I think ppl miss this point. 3 pm's so far today about "I can't make money with your system"...
Most likely those PM's are from last month or last year.

to me, it sounds like they PM'ed to tell u that it's your responsibility (to make them profitable) &/or it's your fault.

Good to see u here Sir.

Hello again,

Would someone please be able to check the zones I have plotted here as the more important zones over last 12 months that we might find good PA at?

There seems no end of them and I don't know how many or how few are best to watch?

Would really appreciate some advice on this!

Thanks...

I'm not an expert, Cherry, but I know for me I try to focus on finding PA on the daily charts off PPZs visible on the monthly/weekly charts. These are typically the strongest PPZs, so they are the best places to find A+ setups.

In hindsight it was probably not wise to even take the trade but quite a few on the thread did!

I see a a 'tiny' problem here.
I'd try (from the very beginning of a trading career) to avoid looking at others.
Majority of traders are almost always wrong (including me..).I'd study the material offered in this thread, memorize post #1, ask questions, but never look what others are doing... seriously.
