Hey nav
Valid arguments bro, but there's a reason why I am only taking one day at a time currently with cable.
Here's the monthly gbplfx, although pulling back, it did make a new low which had surpassed the lowest point set back in 08 during the crash.
Plus the weekly dx is still very much undecided, hovering between key fib levels. If anything, the cable weekly pinbar could be the laid trap to sucker buyers in. Who knows. I just think till the larger tf shows confirmation, taking day trades off smaller tf is much safer if not more profitable.

Wormie,

Who do you use for your DX charts?

Good breakdown. Due to the lack of follow through pressure to the bull side after last weeks action could be a bull trap or we could see a stop hunt this week to go get the lows from last week. Most times the big money likes to buy at 50% or 61% retraces on a move. We haven't had a significant retrace further back then 38% level since this up move started. That's very strange. I'm torn, when we get down there will the bulls jump all in or will it just drop right through that area? Hard to tell. I expected it to go down to that 1.4850-1.4900 area last week to bring in all the bulls and then follow through this week with strong upward pressure but that didn't happen so I'm trading both directions too with my bias still to the long side but depending on where we close today, my bias may change.

It is in downturn..so rallies should be shorted.

But i am only worried about retracement to 1.55.

If i short it here with a Take profit of 1.40, thats good. But if retraces back to 1.55, then that means 400 pips DD.

Looks to me downtrend.

Today high of 1.5195 is 52% retracement from 1.5575- 1.4785.

We will drop to 1.40 in next 4 weeks.

Definitely trade what you see but alot of us are looking at different time frames. A person looking at a weekly chart seeing a hammer at a 61% retracement may only be looking for a long while a guy looking at a 1 hr chart sees all todays bearish action is looking for a rally to sell in to.

One doesn't have to be wrong and one right. They can both be right if they do it at the right times. Timing is key. Personally as far as market direction, I don't know. I don't have any open positions. I bought today at 1.5124 and closed it at 1.5156 and turned and sold @ 1.5159. I escaped with good returns but as far as confidence in a direction if I had to pick a side, I guess I'd say I'm still bullish but I'm not backing that up with an open position. More to be figured out.

Again with this?

Really?

Throw a play into market and hope to succeed?

This is gambling. This isn't based on any of the fantastic charts, tools, opinions, indicators and even ideas that are based on these.

How is it, that if you miss a play by 500 pips, can you assume 1000 gains?

Under a basic realization that you have no concept of bottom, you will have no concept of top. Following a heard into slaughter.

Really, isn't this exactly what Direct-Trades last tirade was about...His longs positioned starting to build at 1.5840? Didn't those run a 1000 pips past?

This isn't trading, and I cannot see how you people will continually pat yourself on the back when after days, to weeks to months of holding red you finally come green, most of you coming back spouting the "I told you so"'s...

It is days like this when I am ready to throw in the towel, when people that know better still spout ignorance and poor market trading coupled with even poorer money management.

Great Post from a wise trader

Your post remind me that i should finish my studies soon and get a proper career oriented job.

It is too risky to depend on gambling as a sole source of income to pay bills and do savings for future.

It is indeed 'unstructured gambling'. The tools which we use show us some pattern and structure but at the end of day, it is a gambling.

I am teaching my kids the markets now King, but at the same time, am encouraging them to continue on with their educations.

We can't all be sports stars and super heroes, so, it is nice to have something you can depend on to be sure.

I am a part-time trader, still consider myself a hobbiest, but have full intents on walking into the shoes of a FT trader this year.

Right now King, I do what I have to do, until I get to do what I want to do.

Really Nav...

Haven't we been down this road?
It is because you chased and lost, and traded with scared money that you were unable to take your demo days and turn them into real money profit...

All the while spewing bullshit.

Ask others, shit even ask DT how he feels about taking his long at 1.5840...following that adding to the shame and loss by adding more positions.

Really, anybody new to market should say, this isn't the way to trade. When price goes down, we sell, as price comes up we buy.

You still have a chip on your shoulder as well, because I asked you to stop preaching bullshit and start talking about money management and risk assessment.

The problem is, you have the ability to chart, but are playing like someday you will be one of the big dogs walking in the tall grass. Compare yourself to Soros because you can hold loss....

This is market ignorance. This is not trading. Yes, the way you are trading is gambling....

Don't talk bullshit so you can bring all the rest of the "Magix is Bad", crew in here to root you on. Stop talking, start listening, one day you will be a trader.

Until that time, your lessons are as remiss as your trading.
