oh sure pick out the obvious!!
Now how many people in here took it? It was available on GU and EU at the same time. Last night no one took it on GU and she paid well on it. I hope someone didn't make the same mistake.

A bit disappointing really EO. Price only made it to 15022.5 on my feed and my 200 sma was at 15022.0. I mean come on! 0.5 pips out!

Profit taken and covered

Understand about the stress! Put it to the side brother and focus on what you know how to do. I'm glad your back into positive pippage!

I'm doing good! I've already hauled away 2 GM truck loads of pips since close of US Session and I'm looking forward to filling 2 more before I got to bed. Business outside of trading sucks though, but I can't control the economy. Thus why I know I can't control the markets, I can only take what the markets give me.

Trade well brother!

Good morning/night everybody

i just spotted that nice bounce from 1h 50MA which was very close to 15m 200MA... a good way to start the morning.

How are u all by the way? If i may ask a personal question, what is your job apart from trade? and then the 1 million euro (maybe dollar) question... some of u who seems to do nicely on forex have another job.... WHY? (i don't mean anything bad by that, just curious)

Trade well

I'd like to know where the smart is ass who posted earlier in the week why it's so quiet in here does this method not work anymore.

You guys are the ones who have to pull the trigger on your end. I can only show you the setups and the value of taking bounce trades. I cannot force you to take the trades. Look at the candle that closed that came off the m15 200. Does that not entice you enough to take a long position? Look at your h1 while your at it. The 50sma is right in line as well. Then we have the trendline on the h4 that I've posted as well. Right in line.

I'm not always going to be here. As many of you know, I have other obligations.

I own a company that gives people jobs. My company is what gave me the opportunity to trade. Just because I've become successful at it, doesn't mean I should shit on my company or my employees. I enjoy that fact that I'm able to provide those jobs.

Morning all,

Yes and yes.
A little slow to respond as I was busy taking these trades before coming into here, which kinda means I am getting there slowly by finding the confidence to find and take these without a push.

EO, didn't mean to be offensive.. i was just curious.
Considering how things are here in italy, i think that if i will succeed in trade (and i WANT TO), i will do just this. Here unless u are son of some rich guy, there is no way u can make good business now starting from 0, and even if u do, u have to face the 47% of taxes (not of your profit, but of the revenues of your company) that u have to give to the government

by the way.. as i said.. i took that bounce.. but just from GBP-USD.. i still have to grow another pair of eyes

No offense taken! I'm a little frustrated with the thread.

As you can see from your bounce trade, your up over 20 pips and covered at BE or +3. If you took EU you would be up 25 and covered at BE. Looking for 100 out of each pair targeting your higher valued ma's for TP's.

Your govt sounds like a crook like the US govt. I got my taxes back today. Another reason I'm pissed! Don't mean to sound harsh. I just want people to understand they can take these trades and make money all damn day and night.

Trade well! Get more profit booked on your GU long.

Nice brother! I like your target, but if your going for that high, might want to consider filling the gap with her then selling her right back down. Just a thought. It's kinda what I'm looking at. I have TP's set along the way, but ultimately, I'm looking for my final to fill the gap. Then the soldiers march south.

Either way, locked in profit. Headed to bed. I'll find a new seat in the am if I'm stopped out!

Sir,

I have to disagree..... you are not a real man unless you play rugby (or used to in my case!)

Now... the conversation of rugby always gets out trans atlantic buddies going!

sorry for 'off topic'.

EO, I can understand your frustration, I see what you mean. But there will always be people jerking around and splashing their jealousy on the thread, but there will also be people like me, just arriving, fast and curious, and willing to take the best of of the system and give it back eventually to anyone else who will need it. So I encourage you to give them the long finger and to go on what you're doing best, that is giving jobs to people even in here, cause that's what happening to me hahaha.

I wish you all pipers to enjoy your day/night, and let's see if the lady is going back to this 4h trendline.
