BEOB setup on Daily
set sell stop (1.3376) at 10pip below small PPZ. (Demo)

Any comments welcome.... thanks....

Looks like the old support area around 1.35 that broke last week has been tested and the sell off of the Euro is on again.

If you wish to know the road, inquire of those who have traveled it.

Good luck getting meaningful capital without working for it.
yes, it's damn hard to trade without enough capital.
the psychological roadblock/s & pressure/s are unprecedented, in my experience.

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...

some of my friends have been offering themselves up to work for free for a few months so the next time they try to apply for a job, they can include a bit of "experience" on their resume..... Pretty sad.

but yeah, depending on the field, it can get pretty rough. I guess that's what happens in 10%+ unemployment lol

Hi all,

This is my first post in this thread although I've been reading the JDuester summary posts (all a few times now) and am currently up to page 45 of the main thread. I've been demoing this method for about 3 weeks now and just starting to get the hang of it - and loving it I hope it's not too soon to post an opinion on a setup I've seen that I notice is also being discussed here.

Here goes - I took the daily outside bar on EURUSD as well, however I just looked at the weekly chart and notice last week's candle looks like a pin bar. Would this invalidate the short trade on the daily?

Anyone looking at the jpy pairs. The EURJPY had a PB form yesterday with what looks to be a triple top. Then go down to the 4hr chart and it looks to be forming a pb there. Is this a good train to get on? Also the USDJPY 4H looks to be forming an excellent PB as well. I wonder if the next hour will hold?

Hey DD

That bar is not a pinbar. Remember the open and close needs to be within the prior bar. And we want to insure that the nose of the bar is much longer then the body of the bar thus protruding away.

question for all the old timers....

is there such a thing as a 2 day bullishbearish outside bar?

Hey Bollocks

By the nature of the outside bar it must engulf the previous bar so it is a 2 bar reversal pattern. But if you technically make your chart into a 2 day chart, then you would simply be looking for the same 2 bar pattern now on the 2 day chart. Thus you would need 4 days of bars to accomplish the 2day , 2 bar pattern

I know I prob made that sound like a riddle

nope, makes perfect sense.. just wanted some confirmation on that...

by the way Mike... have you taken any setups off the dailies lately... been a bit dry.. i am thinking of demoing 4 hour for few months although i prefer the dailies. sitting on your hands while you trying to grow an account isnt at all easy

my bread and butter is definitely the 1hr and 4hr, and I am even more strict on the daily and weeklies. So haven't had many there. I believe 2 daily trades all year so far.

Mine were stuff like multiply 36 by 78 which I could do farily quickly, but when it got to the hundreds and thousands, I was taking far too long (she wanted me to answer in around 10 seconds) .... I believe this was for a floor trader position however.

Tell me though, is this capability really that important?

[quote=joelcf;3597649]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.

my friend had to just play a round of golf for his position at one of the top funds in the states

but seriously, it varies, its sometimes what you know, sometimes who you know(more times). The good thing is for us who want to trade our own accounts we only need to answer to one person(maybe 2 if your married).

Hey Jacob

This is something I adopted long ago. It accomplishes a lot of things. Firstly it keeps you from trading every 10 mins . More importantly these larger round numbers are hit less, thus when price eventually makes it back to one it is going to generate both a lot of psychological interest as well as economic interest, and other things like barriers and tons of OF exist. Now this isn't to say the smaller round numbers are not important. They are very important, but more important for me in trade mgmt. Open any chart plot these numbers...
So do you still plot PPZ on your charts or just your 1000/500 pip zone increments?

I'd rather play a round of golf under pressure than have to be grilled by the wife!
