Battle between trying to establish support at 3600 and trying to establish resistance at 3614/3622. Actually looks like a small H&S is showing up on 5m chart. Not much, but it demonstrates the short term battle for direction.

maybe down

Short positions at 3600/14/22.

We keep getting closer and closer to our long term trend line from December. 4 weeks of doji's tell me it's only a matter of time before the big bears wake up.

i just hate when everyone praises their methods and success and those who lose rarely say anything.

so my method doesn't work, i just had an awfull week and i interpred also NFP wrong. i am short on EU and i really hope it will turn southwards on monday otherwise i'll blew the account again but i am so pissed off that i will just let it burn then maybe take 2 weeks break and start all over...

have a nice weekend everyone!
I blew an account and opened another. I tripled that account and then lost most of my profit on one trade. Couldn't deal with the emotional aspect of trading. Once I got ahold of that I became consistently profitable. Also switching to a much shorter time frame helped me considerably. I don't know how people predict higher TFs, but I know I'm pretty good at anything under an hour or two. Anyway, most people fail before they succeed; it's just part of the game.

How long have you been trading I ask because I've blown accounts a few time and thing are becoming clearer but I fall into hidden traps at time. I been trading around 1yr and half now.
I've started like 3yr ago...at that time i've blown 2 accounts ...in few days
I've made a long break to get my mind clear...and then get back into demo for like a year but it was without conviction i was doing it for fun

and then 6 months ago about (maybe a little more) i've started to really get into the forex trading
I've started to add like dozens of indicators but no one of them worked for me
So i've deciced to trade naked charts with volume only...and you know what i'm profitable now...with time and effort you'll know what trading style suits you better....what money management you should adapt..etc...

It takes some time but it worth it !!!

And if you need help...people here will help us..(except some of them!)

I'm starting to notice some modest success when i'm not greedy.. quickly moving stops to break even or positive gain as soon as it gets there.. It's made a big difference for me.. My methods of predicting levels and direction are pretty good.. Money Management and greed control cannot be underestimated in currency trading..

if we get break out 1.3620 watch for a wide spread high vol up candle thru 1.3620 this is pros moving price up and locking in traders ....

1.3620 major s/r on charts

fails this I will be looking for move under 1.3550 and rounded bottom broken

I agree with you. Most of the indicators are lagging ones and really did not help me much. Learnt hard way and now sticking to S/R on M15,M5. Works better for me. Still learning risk management.

For those of you who use FXCM- you mentioned using Trade Station? Why not their Active Trader platform? Trade Station is "off-Exchange" and Active Trader is traded on exchange. Trade Station you pay 3 pips per turn around while on Active Trader you pay $10 per round trip plus as little as 1/10th of a pip. I average 2/10ths of a pip on their demo account.

Its risky to trade on any system thats "off-Exchange" because its an online program that they wrote and control- thus are able to manipulate. They are the counterparty to every trade- so its in their best interest not to loose. Off exchange is not regulated the same as on exchange. Brokers who I've confirmed trade using "off exchange" systems include: ACM, CMS, Capital Gain, FOREX CLUB and PFG to name a few. Surprised? I was.

Find out if your broker is Off Exchange by reading their "risk" statement- provided as a link on the bottom of one of the main web site pages for that brokerage. Start at the very end and scroll backwards- its often written in all caps and or within the last 4 sections of the statement. I spent 5 weeks researching brokers and their contracts. (I am a Certified Paralegal turned currency trader)

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I also trade with naked charts, only a 50 ema for general short term direction, but my question is, where do you get volume figues from? My broker FXCM doesn't provide volume, and eve if it did, it would have been volume on their book only (assuming it is even true).
I've been researching volume,and other than CME currency futures, I have not been able to come up with anything reliable.
Any tips?

well, I try to explain it ....
things tare to be seen in the following way:

1.) Firstly this is essentially a psychological game.

2.) While the children have a playstation or an Xbox, adults have the financial markets for playing. It still remains a game

Appreciate that. I been getting clean out look like every couple of months which equate to about 4 blown account. Yeah I'm getting better it taking longer to lose the money but at the end of the day it eventual happen, so I'll keep funding it until this business become second nature.
