No, you are trying to make it FIT something and that's not how to trade, stop thinking so hard lol. The thing is going up so get long on pullbacks that is all, I know I think and can mentaly draw trendlines, and fibs w/o putting them on the charts that is how I can spend 10 seconds and know what I would do w/o any guesses.

Print out this chart, and find any 6 year old kid and ask him up or down. That's how I trade.

Haha

Hey, it works for me I understand what you are saying, i just do it differently is all.

You grab the free pips on cable?
lowest draw down possible please.

Don't think this can be accurately discussed without chart.

Naa, I don't trade that pair or have a feel for it. That was just a gun to head post.
Keep taking CT trades, I need more money

Open the pair, put it to 5min, higher highs and lower lows = trend = up. Not too hard.

Ryan is right, when the "proper" trend is on, you can see it (take 3 steps back from your monitor and it is as clear as daylight )

You can use TLs too, if you wish, or MA20 angle.

There are times, though, when it's harder to say whether the trend is still there or started to reverse (see EU today). In such cases, "if in doubt - stay out".
One Chart is Worth Ten Thousand Words.

commendable discipline

Well done!

Thanks ghous.

Here's another textbook on the 4 hour CAD/CHF. If you're not aware of the first area of traffic, look what happens. Out with a nice (predictable) profit on this one.

Thanks Jduester and supremeChaos.
I actually looked at the left hand corner of the chart last night and did not see it.
Perhaps I needed the 4 hrs sleep I just got or better monitors,glasses etc.

Hey Jacob

In the PF we had some Mac users trouble shooting this seemed to work for most so hopefully it does for you...

I wasn't able to get the Mplayer to work for some reason. But, I downloaded Microsoft Media Player for Mac, and it worked perfectly. Not sure why I didn't run across this sooner. Anyway, just a heads up in case anyone else has the same issue.

Thanks again, looking forward to continuing the video series!

He Ryan.

Personally not interested in your personal method.
Just one question though. Do you have or had a set of rules written down? or you are more like following your senses and taking what looks good at the very moment?

Thanks

I'm going to bring up this chart again. I hope you can see how these things work. I apologize if there is a lot to go through in this single post, but I hope that lately I have been bringing more quality, and less quantity.


First I posted this on 2-20-2010: ( http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...ostcount=55536 )

Here is what has happened so far. Even if you have just played a manual trail along the highs of the daily bars, you still have a good winner trade.

Here is why I failed at this trade. HINT: this was a sell limit order, AKA "touch trade"

lol, I can tell you what I do but it's a 99% chance you will screw it up that is why I am not going to post it. Every setup is different and I look at the whole picture when I trade. I am not trying to be a ass but I can say I do this and this then you do it lose and call me a ass so it's just not worth it. Just a FYI I have a loss daily sometimes several so it's just part of it and taking the good trades that I see them, I wish I could say do this and this and enjoy your millions but it's not going to work like that.

Hi Ryan

Please don't take this wrong way, but unless someone on this forum proves their worth like James16 and others, why should we listen to your bragging of these 'profits'? It seems you want something here, what is it? Are you lonely? If you want to be a hero, just start your own thread and teach what you do, as on this site, we share, not brag with no proof whatsoever..
