Ain't it the truth....
I jumped quite a bit in OZ and the US and i think it's something everyone should do at least once.... i still vividy remember the first time i climed out the door of a little cessna onto the wheel b4 dangling from the wing strut then letting go.... i felt like james bond 10000 ft up climing on the outside of a plane (it's amazing how quickly you get used to something like that)


i recommend Jim Wallace to new jumpers as he's a really nice chap who been about for years (from the 70's) if i remember correctly logging 10k plus jumps (he's also the person the cameron diaz's of the world jump with) he's based in perris valley and they also have a wind tunnel (and swimming pool for the kids to mess about in)

sorry if i sound like an infomercial.

regards ic

ps, go on jump you know you want to :oD

Yeah I see. It lines up with that 1st trouble area as well.

I'm gonna give this some time and room...USD has strengthened quickly across the board (good for my EU short!) but the EJ , GJ etc is holding up ok...JPY is looking weak...a bit wishy washy argument I know! My stop is a few pips below the main PPZ.

Quoting 4X=0
Some of James' earlier educational charts are using futures markets....

Thank you so much for your post 4X=0. I truly appreciate you taking the time to respond. Trading the ES can be a bit frustrating on the lower tick charts...especially for a beginner trader. I've been thinking about FX for a long time and I feel that its time to make the jump. This thread and the teachings (and people) have given me even more reason to make the switch. If it will help me to refine the J16 techniques, and allows me to post on this thread more frequently, then I'll be a happy trader.

Thanks again and take care,

The below PPZ is a good SL placement and this Eur/Jpy 4 hour PB could work out nicely before its low is taken out.

But the main point of this little exercise . . . Is this an A+ setup? No.

The size looks good but could be bigger, off a PPZ level, some fib ret., possible up trend forming from the Daily and so on. But it was it the middle of bad traffic . . no space. The swing low could be lower. This being on the 4 hour time frame we need to meet these high standards even more to really get a strong PA signal.

As we get pickier and picker on our setups these types of setups are passed on 9 times out of 9.

Congrats! Very nice trade.

The price has exactly hit the 1st trouble area.

However, I didn't take this trade as I am still hesitating on the size of the pin bar. Anyway, I gotta learn more.

I think those who are starting on the daily/weekly as per james need to watch more charts. Commodities, futures, equities, more forex pairs(don't fear those exotics ).

Nothing wrong with watching the lower timeframes if you have the time, chart time is always good. But keep your J16 minimum requirements demo on its own.

Just my thoughts of course

cheers, looks like i need to expand my 'portfolio' to anything and everything and pick the best opportunities

Hi Lovejoy,

Thank you for the chart. It may seem a dumb question to ask but may I know what a "touch trade" is about? I have seen this term through some posts and still can't figure out what it means....I apologize if it was mentioned somewhere in the thread, as I have only read the 1st 200 pages and the later pages since Mar 2010.

Many thanks to you and other great seniors!

Rumors that the US may raise the discount rate later today are the reason for USD strength.

Hi Guys,

I had a buy order on the GBP / USD set at 15220 and I can see from IG's charts that price went to this level at around 3pm however my order did not get filled! Price has subsequently gone 30 pips in my anticipated direction since!

Can I get IG to somehow manually fill my order at that price?

This along with yesterdays discussion on rolling contracts is starting to annoy me now!!

Thanks,

MP.

I am certinaly not the person to be asking about these types of trades as I am still learning and demoing this style of trading.

To be honest (and I dont mean to be patronising) but I would forget all about touch trading and focus on PA with high amounts of confluence at great locations on the higher time frames....that stuff is pure gold and should keep you busy. Take it one step at a time and learn this method and become profitable doing this method and then try out other trading techniques in addition to this one if you want...it is easy to over clog ones mind with lots of different trading styles and techniques when starting out when I would would recommend sticking to the core of what this thread is about...doing your research, reading, studying, practicing and asking questions.

Thank you Lovejoy for your reply. Sure I agree with you that I have to learn and practice more on PA, there's still a long way for me to go.....was just curious about term anyway......

I suppose this should be some advance stuff and I'd better leave it till I've managed well the PA basics.

Time for making some decisions.........

when you are trying to catch up some swing position you must be prepare for a large drawdown, you must have a god mental shape for this kind of trade.you must know yourself otherwise you will suffer a lot if you get emotional with your trades.For me it doesn't bother me at all the DD.

All you need is to know from what points those DD can be a reversal signal,so you can KILL IT

gj is up by 7R= 14%
ej is up by 10R=20%
uj is up by 12R=24%

I've got that level marked on the charts too, but no way would I trade a touch trade based on a 'messy' level like that.

Needs to be perfect in my opinion. Clear precise rejections at that level.
The top and bottom of the current sideways market on the Euro, is a better example.

I know you don't trade H1 (much), but that EJ retracement to the TL ended just below xx00, forming a nice PB for short, which played out well.
