Looks like Japan is getting hit kind of hard. Will be interesting tomorrow when I get up I suspect.

It wasn't my thought one way or the other - only that I am already short the GBP/USD, so I don't like being short GBP in two different trades, if I can avoid it.
Unless I have drawn this wrong, I have first minor trouble area at 141.86 ( in hindsight, it ended up going thru that to next area 138.72). May be that was another reason to not take that trade? Are those areas correct Chris?

cheers

I prefer larger handle numbers. I have 140......remember, this pair is a wild, so it has thick zones at time. (In fact, they can be 300 pips on this crazy pair.)

Garmin. They make GPS units. A lot of people in this country have smart phones, all of which have GPS units built in. This business is redundant, and pointless for most of it's market now.

Why pay $200 for a stand alone unit when you have the same thing included in your phone?

Sometimes common sense gets in the mix of trading as well. Take a look at these charts, we could be setting up for a big short.

i hate to trade this pair . but it looks like we have a solid opportunity to short it . a nice engulfing bar is forming on daily at a very strong level , price broke a solid trendline ,and some good news come from NZ to make this opportunity even stronger .

And by placing the entry some pips below this weeks low, a triggered trade would have even better odds.

I'm late for my date with the sand man, so no trades for me tonight, but that looks not to shabby after a quick glance.

I dont like this one either (The pair that is)......but its a good set up. In fact, the weekly bar looks like it wants to form a pinbar, and at obvious resistance.

Here's a look at the chart of GBP/USD. I am still short until 1.50 or so. To be honest, the measured move of the break of the long-term box is 1.48, but I expect a bounce at 1.50.....I am about 450 pips in profit at the moment. (Traded a break of the 4 hour flag, just under the 1.58 area.)

It looks like it is trying to bounce, as you would expect in this area because of all the support. My thoughts lean a little more towards letting it bounce to 1.40 (if it can) and then looking to short it there. I think you could make a trad out of this bounce, but the longer term I would still be a little hesitant of buying this pair.

that is first class trading .
it would be a great idea to pick up trades like this from the thread and add a link in first post of the thread so new comers can find examples of your method . and it would be easier for us to review these trades when we need to

Hi guys,
I return to trading after a break of one month due to hard exams at university. They were too hard so I had to set the priorities on them and nothing else.

I am glad to see that the forum thread did not change and many things are still well discussed. And the members are mostly the same like before.

Since I had a pause in trading I had to begin to synchronize with the market this week. I did it without trading, which was a good decision after all.

You are probably correct on that one. I will put that on my ever-growing "to do list". I have a wife and two kids.....so that list was full a long time before I started this thread!

This is a great post! I love it! In fact, this might be the best thing I have read in weeks.

Pay attention everyone, he hit the nail on the head with this. He had something that is infinitely more important than trading to attend to. The markets were always going to be here when he came back, and he made a very mature decision to wait until the more important things were taken care of. Instead of worrying about getting rich overnight, Centaure invested time and effort in the one thing you can always count on - yourself.

Damn wise choice in my opinion.

I also like the idea of getting the vibe of the market back without actually risking any money. Really, really, really smart move.

Welcome back.

lol , i have already 3 kids and a wife and .... oops. maybe she will read this post .
u know what chris , i have said that because in this forum there are very few posting a live setup and a live trade and update of trades they took , so many super guru they just talk without ever posting anything , or other worse they post a chart with i entered here and get out there and i made so many pips . so much lying and pretending .
this thread is different . it is real and about real trading
anyway , stop filling ur "to do list" and forget about my proposition , and plan for a third kid. lol

Am with you on this one Chris, just not sure where we will see the bounce....if you look at the weekly, we had a channel which broke......am still baised to the down side and looking at 1.24500 as the destination.
