Trust me I am taking this slow - how long do you think it will take me to become a robot?
That depends on the availability of kryptonite

Kryptonite - the uk used to sit on a stock pile of the stuff. I think Gordon brown sold it to bush just before the value doubled - ho ho

I sure would like to see this thing run back up to 1.5360 today but I looked at the monthly chart since it is the last day of the month and it looked like it had some support down at 1.5168 to me so not real sure right now.EO I get that off the june 2000 close or would you be looking more at the dec 2000 close which is 1.4935, am I right in my thinking on that or all together wrong?
It looks as though we picked up some buyers at 1.5160 area

I went long after the first pin/hammer and got stopped out. When the second pin/hammer showed up I wasn't confident enough to take the long.

This should be a very bullish candle fixing to close on my 4hr, I will post it after the close if it holds up.

Don't be afraid next time. If we get stopped out in intraday trading, we get back in. Plain and simple. We take the positions based upon reason and sometimes, we might be off just a little bit off.

Yes and the 1 Hr forms a nice bullish outside candle. On the other side she retraces from the 50% fib/50 ema.

Hi Eo,

I hope you make pips today.

I still have to master the psychological part of trading. But I think I'm getting better step by step.

I've picked up 1 or 2 today! I hope you make some pips today! Once you release your emotional attachment to your money and start seeing the levels, taking the trade based upon PA with good M:M, you'll be a slayer of pips!

Keep up the hard work!

Thank you for asking. I'm very pleased with my trading today. Generally I'm so happy that I have found this threat some time ago. Since I learned all the "trade what you see stuff", met all the nice members in here and left that indicator BS behind me I'm on the right path.

Once again thank you for everything.

Below is a daily EJ chart which shows some areas below current price that I will be looking for PA to indicate a possible trade north. We broke a significant area of support at the 127.00 area as I have mentioned in a previous post and had a nice move south off the retest of that area last week. Of course as always we are to let PA lead the way but I can see more movement to the south on The Mistress!

I hope some of you made note of this chart and took advantage of the trade off the 119.68 area I had marked on it this week! It was good for at least 150-200 pip run north. I feel like I may have let you guys down because my S/R line was off by a couple of pips!

Hi,

I know this is a very basic question for this thread, but I thought I would ask.

When I am marking low points in a chart should I be marking the lowest point no matter the colour of the candle or should I only be marking bearish candle low points.

If you see the chart, I have marked the bearish candle, but there was infact a lower point on the following bullish candle.

Is there a difference and which should I mark? (do the same rules apply for high points too?)

Pippinole - I am learning this thread as week speak/type - on a saturday night... how sad. I shall be taking thorough note of your comments in the future as I am reliably informed that you are pretty hot (understated) at this

Regards

Lee

ps.... Can also just add at this point to anyone else that might be new.... if you can, try a white background on your charts...... it will save you a fortune in printing time and costs!!!

You can either walk the plank or grab the brass cleaner!

Excellent job brother and I do hope some took advantage of it. I know I did!
