We have way too many guest today that need to take the time and join Forext Factory today. Membership does have it's benefits. You can then ask that certain trader WTF were you thinking when you took this trade, or I would have taken this trade or whatever. Take the time, join, pour yourself a cup of coffee and let's all make some GREEN PIPS together! Those who want the RED PIPS can just forward your account balances to your local charities!

Trade well guys!
Hi guys

Just, again, wanted to thank u all for "helping" me finish the 2nd week with green pips all in all.
This is a very good Thread, no bulls@@t, no stupid people trying to compete among each other, just some good traders.
Sometimes it seems that this thread is too much EO-centered, and when he is not around there aren't many people talking over here, but i hope we will get over it when our skills will improve, even because there are some other very good traders over here.

Anyway, i am off till next week... my little cousin is going to turn 18 so it's gonna be a huuge family reunion (sicilian family reunion.... sounds scary ).

Have green pips guys

I have asked a couple of questions over the past week or so and they have gone unanswered - maybe they were daft questions but I am trying to get involved or have I been filtered? Happy trading all and bloody fantastic thread eo and team whether you talk to me or not all the best wm
WM, there are alot of time questions do get overlooked and I apologize. My time can sometimes get very limited. Please feel free to send me a pm with your questions if their directed to me and I'll get them answered. There are some awesome traders in this thread, so don't feel like you have to direct all the questions to me, but if you do and want a response from me directly, your best bet is to send me a pm.

Sorry again your questions got overlooked!

I dont think anyone intentionally did not answer, you may have asked at a time when it was slow and no one was around.I am by far not one of the best traders around here but will be glad to answer your questions.If you dont get a response send me a private message!

Hi EO,

I noticed on your screeenshot that you have Stochastic on your 1H chart.
Can you please explain what is role of this indicator in your system,
because I didn't find any explanation.

Thanks

There isn't a role in my system for them. I don't know how to read or use them myself. It's just there from when my brother Infinity posted his template for Rumus and I've never removed it. I look at it, but don't have a use for it.

Hi Ahsan,

Can I ask if those light blue lines are your Pending Orders?

If not, can you indicate how you made the 80 pips?

Regards

Hi Lee,

The blue lines were my temporary Support(1.5404) and Resistance(1.5453) lines for the range that GU was playing in. The lines are never exact and were just based on what i was seeing on the chart. The black line that you see going across is the 200ma which helped support my range trades. The first candle highlighted in the box on the left went up to the 200ma broke it but came back down and closed back into the range. This was my first trade and my entry was at 1.5453 and my target was the low for the day we had so far and rounded it off to 40 pips. And as you can see the same thing happened again with the second highlighted candle and I took it at the same price level as my first. I forgot to mention that both signal candles closed below the close of their previous bullish candles which helped reinforce my trade decision.

I hope this helps. Anything else please don't hesitate to ask.

Ahsan
