yeah, just delete the bootcamp partition, in the long run, it fries the macbook, because windows doesn't have fan-control. and everything you could do is nonsense. parallels with 4 gb ram and winxp works like a charm. win7 took away too many ressources, as i'm doing quite a lot of stuff in os x while running windows, e.g. photoshop, encoding etc.

Nice Hatch.. You might become a trader yet. Your only crime was forgetting to tell the peanut gallery where, when and how to go **** themselves..
i don't really get that one...

It means that you stick with your plan no matter how many people tell you how foolish it is.. You tell them to go have sexual relations with themselves. If you stick with your plan and you're wrong you will understand how you went wrong.. If you second guess yourself you've learned nothing.

In my first year of trading there was a guy who I thought the world of.. He sounded so authoritative and I learned a lot from him, or so I thought. He ended up taking all of his friends money, lost it , and almost went to prison in a certain island nation whose citizens rule the waves at one time.

Everyone's advice is useless, including mine.. and you should slap my mom and dad for giving birth to me.. That's the attitude you should have..

TRADE YOUR PLAN.. such a tired cliche, yet so very true.

try heikin ashi candles.. choose a tf you like. get a good entry with a solid s/r to your back.. sl is placed on the other side. trade only after pullbacks in the trend with the trend. use the candles to exit. when a candle closes against you, you exit.. but you have to use your head. if you run up on a pivot tl ect. you may want to exit there. if you use a large tf minor fibs will not be as important..

put heikin ashi and see what would of happend had you let your trades run with the trend..it will stop you from, too early of an exit.. also...
they're much more fluent visually. i'm reading on their different conditions right now.

Hello
I would really need your help. I opened friday, two longs on eurusd,starting from about 1.3500,and hoping it will go up to (what i saw it could be) the next ressistance,somwhere arround 1.3800.
Bad luck, it went straight down, and i had to open another 2 transactions on short,so that the loss would not be so big.

What is your advice for me? to close the transactions on long, or still hope it will reach 1.3700- 1.3800?

I'd really appreciate a good answer

Think my voodoo jive has wobbled off it's access. Should take what long pips I have left and delete tomorrows pending orders (based on said voodoo) and start fresh. But I'm only demoing this, so I gonna see if witch Dr produces my failed .3430 bounce out of sequence. Outside of the realms of known quantum mechanics. You have to think 4th dimensionally.

Another h+s ... ?

Best thing is to trade with own coded robots (ea) I guess. They are emotionless. I just trade manually for sport. Like playing golf. No greed then, no fear. Money will come via robot farm. Computers should be slaves of men and not vice verse where the computer calls the trader with a signal to wake up.

Just my opinion.

The best plans are mechanical. Something that doesn't leave decisions to the whims of the trader. I think you need to come up with one. Just come up with a simple plan and test it bar by bar over the weekend. You will soon find out if your plan is really profitable or not.
Hello all,
Up to a point I agree with the above from thlws. Since I went 'live' in the middle of last year, and after demoing for about a year, things have gone very well...until after Christmas. My method has been 'position trading' and during that period it served me well. Since then though, the Greek bs has emerged and what has followed is outright interference in the free floating currency market.....for more than a couple of months. Interference by the Swiss, Chinese, and the whole of the EZ. This has thrown a spanner in the works of my method, moreso because I am asleep for most of the London and USA markets, but also because the markets have not been moving in their previously somewhat logical manner. I've still done ok, but not nearly as good as I should have, and would have, had I not tried to trade this rubbish with my method that works well on a level playing field.

So, during the past month I have been demoing a purely mechanical way to trade, and someone on this very forum has spent some time developing his own mechanical way to trade, and has very kindly allowed me the privilege of testing his method for myself, and to use if I like it. His system and mine are surprisingly similar and they both seem to be working very well. It's early days yet before I take both systems 'live', but both are showing good results. Both will work in this current rubbish market because neither relies on anything other than the PA right now, and bearing in mind fibs, pivots s/r etc etc.

If this works out, and it's looking good right now, I will have a system, or method if you prefer, which will allow me to trade this rubbish, as well as my position method should the market return to it's free status. Even if does return to it's free status, these mechanical systems will work.

Also, i find myself being distracted somewhat by this very forum. I can ignore, and do ignore, all the various posters who make calls as to what will happen next, but post no charts, let alone reasons or any other pertinent analysis, with which to support their 'claims'. Other posters for whom I have a lot of respect, tend to cause me to second guess my strategy and that sometimes leads to hesitation to enter, and eventual poor entry and consequent poor result. If I had have gone on my own, the result would have been good or else stopped out at the right time and place. This is a fault of me, not the original poster. Never-the-less, it is a distraction that I don't need.

So, my mechanical method looks good, and I will be happy to share my trades with the analysis, but I won't share the method because it, for the most part, belongs to another trader/poster and he will make whatever calls regarding his method if and when he wants to. I also won't post until after I have entered the trade and I'm drinking coffee while it runs. That way I will not be in a position to second guess myself.

It's just a matter of time before this market returns to 'normal', and it has been a challenge to find a way to combat this crap, but, like I said several posts ago.....I WILL NOT QUIT!!

good luck.. with a good entry.. you can limit loss.. never enter at market. ambush your trades. with a wall behind you your losses will be smaller.. with a wall behind you. your winners will be bigger using the method.. at a glance you know the trend. look at the monthly since nov..

You forgot the lower tl.

http://cdn.forexfactory.com/attachme...4&d=1268577013

Nice target

First I think we will head back to the upper trend line. I believe we will brake down, but not before we have another rise. The reason is rather simple----- consolidation is a symptom of doubt, and no one is confident about anything. A break down to the lower line should happen in about a year and a half----two maybe. (Next election cycle)

Just an opinion I will trade what comes

ha, that's why you said in november it's about time. i was looking at that candle-stick and seeing nothing but a green body. heikin ashi tells a completely different story. very nice.
