Anybody in this one?

4hr pin off the 140 BRN.
Bounce off the 365 EMA
Downward Divergence

Hey Ghettobuddha

No 4hr Pin on my feed but 1H shows a I4B coiled up like a spring. Going away tomorrow so unless it breaks hard in the next 3 hours I can't play it, but it looks like a great set up!! Good luck

This one is too small for me personally, but just watch that previous high around 139.60 for first trouble area

We have a BEOB which is straddling a BRN and PPZ (13,500).

I guess we will find out tomorrow if there's any legs left in shorting Eur / Usd.

There are people out there wasting their life doing crap and struggling to keep their family standing. People who spend their entire young years studying and printing degrees, and then get fired after after a few years with no way back.
To be honest, those people will also fail at trading, or sports, or business, or anything else they try. Because they clearly lack either the skills, the intelligence or the motivation to achieve anything significant. I cant remember who said it (Mike or Douglas, maybe?) but people trying to use trading to escape from something almost always fail.

Starting salary for our finance grads is almost $80k. First year. And we are midrange in that respect. And ignores the fact that they can freely work and trade. What do you think the average annual income for a first year trader on FF is? Like a thousand bucks, maybe? Pretty sure I wouldnt call the former 'wasting' someone's life.

Good luck getting meaningful capital without working for it.

That's pretty standard for similar US positions too, since it's a very competetive and somewhat specialized market where people move pretty freely. I have two friends who did grad rotations in Chicago and were on 70k usd.

Point is, even at 50k, you are still making more than 95% of 'fulltime traders' on FF, so it's hardly a waste of time.

I don't even know one person who has started at 70k (midwest region)... in any field... More recently college grads have been getting jobs at starbucks after graduation just because the 100+resumes they sent out didn't even get a phone call.

Hi guys

What do you think of this BEOB on Fiber daily? Move down, retrace, and continuation with BEOB? Only barrier would appear to be the bar high 3 bars to the left, if it breaks of course. How would this rate as a setup, if it breaks?

And don't forget the bonuses! Personally I would have loved to get onto a grad trading role .... problem was my mental arithmetic was not up to scratch. I distinctly remember an HR officer relaying some rather ackward numbers that I had to quickly calculate in my head, whilst she held a stop watch in one hand .... needless to say I was much too slow ....

lol, yeah. I got 'square root of 100,000' and 'compound $1m @ 10% for 10y' as standard first round filter questions, before I even got to the actual interview.

Ouch. Although, having only just discovered Starbucks last week, I can safely say that you probably need a college degree to work out how much a damn coffee costs.

I'd be worried about the highs from the previous two bars there - as you pointed out, they could be a pretty big barrier. I think the general consensus with these BEOB setups is that they are best at swing low/highs, but I like them as a trend continuation play. Would want to see a pretty heft break though... the bars arent big enough and the close isnt convincing enough for me to just push butan - unless it breaks so hard that Jaroo's head spins, I'd be wary.

(as a general tip, you should zoom out more to put the bars and their size/position in context)

Also, that's a pretty slick looking platform.

As being in finance field I agree with joelcf. In normal circumstances, 50K is not something which is hard to find in Canada as well for finance grad. Add 2 more years of study after University and the person will be in 6 figures perks excluded.

If they only sent out resumes then that's their own fault.

Trust me. Our family runs a business and it's more often than not the person who walks in the door or phones in at the right time who gets the job.
And for a more qualified position DEFINITELY those who have been there face to face at the least.

I went to new york for a week - you cant go eight steps without seeing a SBUX there

I think they closed about 90% of their Australian operations - although there are at least two left in Sydney I have seen, with one close enough for me to get coffee-flavoured beverages loaded with all sorts of stuff that shouldnt be in coffee.

I'm going to go ahead and assume - based on screenname and location - that your family runs Bundaberg Rum, and propose that *I* know you and therefore should get a job testing beverages for their potency.
