Good Morning EO and All,

I have a question about the famous one pip.

When do you consider a range broken? Very often price closes by the pip on the range boundaries. Sometimes coming out of the range and sometimes on the way back inside the range.

Is the range considered broken on one hand and price back into the range on the other hand?

The same happens with PA lines - like a close at the end of the wick of a candle.

Just take your prune juice, then the force will subside and you'll feel better.

A thought for the upcoming week on The Temptress based on the daily chart. We had support in the 344x area broken this week and it looks like we are almost at a retest of that area. PA may show a short possibilty in the 344x-5x area which would also keep us below the descending TL. As always let PA show the way!

Will prune juice counteract my vitamin V?

I heard that all Cisco's trading $ were going to truck loads of Vitamin V so he just bought the recipe and set up a little manufacturing operation in Mrs. Robinson's basement!

Good spot Sir!

I am suitably ashamed that I missed that one, especially given the bloody ZigZag you had drawn

EO or anyone else for that matter.

Can I please check that I have the MA's correctly setup.

I am toying with a single chart with the MA's tailored to appear in the relveant timescale tabs, but I noticed the descriptions of the MA's in the PDF attachment are conflicting.

My confusion comes mainly in relation to the 5 & 10 MA.

One page states that they are of a certain type (EMA or SMA) however, when you then look at the third page (the one that gives the colours) the E's and S's switch about a little.

Can someone please shed some light on this for me.

Regards

Lee


ps..... Is there a way for me to reverse engineer (wrong term, but you'll get my drift) my gains to establish how many pips I made?

On friday I made 22% on my account balance (demo) and was staking 0.5 per trade. I started with something like £2800 and ended around £3500 something. However, I dont know how many pips that was.

I don't really know. I've never seen the need for Vitamin V so I'm not sure if they'd interact except you may need to step away from your lovemaking if the prune juice kicked in.

How embarrassing would that be?

If you'd ever experience a woman like Mrs. R you'd understand that Vitamin V isn't needed. I believe she could get a corpse to come to attention!

PippiNole,

Based on the rules of the H&S. Are you targeting a 550(ish) pip move?

I know you will follow PA, but is this where you think it might go?

It looks as though it might bring us to a meeting point of the 4hr 200sma

Regards

Hey,

Could this also be considered a H&S? or am I pushing the limits to far?

The upper, downwards trendline forms the neckline.

Lee

**EDIT**

I have written the text for the left (looking at the chart) shoulder in the wrong position. But I think you'll understand.

The above H&S (if it is one) seems to be also supported by another on the 4hr.

Though, I am unsure of the right shoulder placement.

Any thoughts anyone?

Been doing a little homework and I have to offer my apologies.

It seems the charts I have posted, even if they can be considered H&S are certainly poor examples.

I'll leave them up unless EO wants them removed.

No apology needed Lee, all learning is good. We can learn just as much from "poor" examples
