You sound like you're getting that "it's 5 O'clock somewhere" feeling Frenz.

Looks like if you're ever in doubt as to your 62ma location (or any other for that matter) all you have to do is put a shout out on the thread and there are plenty of folks happy to help

2 am down here balmy evening and I can never really quite cut it with the london open so these days try and stay alert for the us session

It all seems a bit more predicable

Day starts with a few casual aussies then the japs cut in and they are pretty unpredictable

after that the arabs decide to spend a few of their oil billions

a little later the gemans try and muscle it in a different direction

the english are fighting it from all directions and finally a bit of calm as the yanks cut in

They seem to push it in one direction with no one else to fight it too much

The only problem is its 4am by that stage down here and im yawning

any observers out there watch how many times the pound and euro turn on
18 37 62 83

you could almost trade these numbers exclusively and get good results

If the markets moving in smallish moves they almost always turn within a couple of pips of these numbers
after big news it might blow through one but will generally stop at the next and do a u turn there

Good MAE fellow traders!

I hope everyone took note of the daily chart that EO posted on Fri. and went long The Mrs. this morning! I know of at least 2 people who did!

Oh yeah some other guy posted a daily Mistress chart that seems like it may play out for some positive pippage!

EO & Pippinole,

Can I please ask if any of Steve Nisons material will compliment this system?

I know it works as a stand-alone system, but one of the large factors is about candle and candle pattern recognition and he seems to be pretty popular in this respect.

I am asking as I have the opportunity to get quite a bit of his material on the cheap through a friend of the family that I had no idea was into trading. I do not know how old it is as she has been trading for a long time.

Regards

Lee
Lee I have never studied any of Nison's material but have heard good things about his candlestick patterns. It would be great being new to trading to pick it up and study some of the reversal patterns.

Good evening EO and bkg,

I have four questions about the 35pip zone breakout trade.

1. What if the breakout candle closes way outside the zone? Like (maybe a bad example) the news candle last week - 70 pips above the 35pip zone.

2. How do you enter such trades? At the open of the next candle after the close outside the 35pip zone? And what about stop placement?

3. Is the 35 pip zone only for GU and EJ?

4. Is it better to trade only during London and US session or also Asia?

When do you fade price in the 35pip zone? Do you use "range rules" - like fade if it closes near to the boundary?


Hope these are not too many questions. http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/s...im/winking.gif

Cheers

Hi Mary

I think what Frenz is talking about there is the last two digits of price eg 1.5518 or 1.5537 (pls correct me Frenz if I'm mistaken) as turning points.

If you want to learn the basics of Fibs and how to use them have a look at the following link at babypips.com. It runs thru how Fibs are calculated and further links at the site show to use Fib retracements and extensions. Babypips is great place to find lots of things that you might be unsure about in Forex
