Igrok Method. Q's & A's. Comments, thoughts and ideas

Hello Mr. Igrok,
You've written recently that USDCAd was supposed to go high but lately it's just being going down.
What is your take on USDCAD right now?
Do oyu think it will continue to drift down or now it's time to buy?
What is your target short term?
Thanks!
Marc

Did you follow what he meant? I read the post but didn't "get it".

Here's (http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost.php?p=2154614&postcount=1213) a better one. The argument is as I see it that candlesticks are uneven over their length, there's the thicker part (open to close), and the thinner part (max/low to open/close). So visually the price action will be presented somewhat differently, while bars represent all of price equally, regardless of the bar opening/closing times.

Quite an interesting view on daily Aussie, in case of retrace down, we could expect a classical decending broadening wedge formation, whitch by text book is a bullish pattern i a longer term...

hey guys,jus a quick note on candlesticks. they show the EXACT same info as do bars (ohlc) the ONLY difference is the body is coloured between the open and close of the candle and the bars dont. From what i can tell Igrok is talking about the shadows,i.e. the lines which are not part of the coloured body, being ignored as unimportant (as in your last example from igrok.) just to show my point here is two charts, 1 is candles and 1 i bars, bet you cant tell which one??
the missuse of anything will create problems.
hope this helps

jus my 2 cents

Perfect 18.3 on gbpchf

Nice catch! Probably worth a try to hold untill the weekly range forms with gap at months open price and bullish macd IMO.

I made a list of Igrok's posts related to his method. Sorry for the vague descriptions, but I think they should be enough. Anything remotely important is here. Sorted by oldest to newest.

Wow Mizuno, great initiative and good job tracking down all those leads from this thread!

Ditto!! Mizuno thank you so much!!

Donnie

Man I miss Igrok's prime-time in this thread :/ It's so sad that I didn't understand how privileged we where, asking him direct questions and discuss real setups. But most of all, I miss his bright comments I can laugh to tears looking back at some posts of him.

X10 Mizuno!

Nice 1 man.

Great job.
im sure u have gained a lot (knowledge, character-wise) in the process.

i was envious... still am Sir.
so, let's make him have a good time everytime he drops by.
the time he shares with all of us is priceless.

Oh yeah, good things don't last long...

No worries guys, he has made his "vow" (on this post (http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost.php?p=2818011&postcount=3670)), that he's around and will always be with us till end of the time

Sometimes it feels like I'm moving the entire marked my way when taking some of the setups Yet another perfect 18.3 on usdcad today, lets see how far down it can go

No wonder!
Nice #18.4 on EUR/USD intra-week. Are we alone in this boat?

I wonder what Igrok would've said on 18.4 eur/usd.
