why did you delete the term "scam". what is it now?
It's FF inserts scam, then I remove it. Some sort of code in message boards' code. News is kosher, source ft.com
Prices oscillate, trends persist. Trend is your friend.

1. rising wedges on 1m 5m 15m 30m

2. daily trend is still down

3. huge gap still needs to be retraced.

4. bounce from sma on 30 min.

well, 4 % is un-acceptable that no math can justify. Over my trading career there have been times I lost 10 consecutive trades. I was lucky or prudent to risk no more that a % on any trade. with your 4 % i would be down 40+ % eeks!!! not pretty

Quoting Mr J
There's a few values missing for it to be considered much of a theory.

Consider one trader who risks 4% on his trades, and averages a 40% return per trade, to a trader who risks 2% per trade and earns just 10% on average per trade. Who is trading more aggressively? The second trader, even though he's risking less capital per trade.

Any decent trader that doesn't operate on a very fast timeframe should operate on margins large enough that 4% is reasonable. Living with it though is another matter.
Its all in the mind.

ROFL - wasn't quite what I meant. I was expecting you to see that since 2.30 pm when E/G lost 30 pips, there was an accelerated move up in G/U while E/U just fluffed about. But if you have seen a perfect pitchfork, that's even better
I saw that as well. I saw today GU and EU out of sync early session. For example, yesterday evening I held unto EU long waiting for double tops to close, and also bought GU looking for high to be taken out, 1.550, which it did. So the 2 didn't follow each other's moves towards the top, and being out of sync like that I had confidence in the EU and GU down move later. The EG pitchfork show potential more downside, but you could easily take a reverse against the trend on formation of double bottom. Beautiful, wish I had seen it earlier. Problem is I have too many charts open.

Well, tough decision. Against all the shorty demo account losers.

To going short on this one was a major trader flaw. Whoever did that. Look at the trends. We are in ranging markets, with an uptrend underlying of long and medium term. Period. I am a newbie and can see that. With closed eyes.

Still holding short at 1.363. Closed 3 long and back in again for 1 at 1.357 to make me neutral at the moment. Last 1.357.




since you talk about live trading, I am wondering why you only show screenshots of a demo.

Not saying I am right . But es dipped today at open and got bought heavy.

Also have a look at my 1 hour chart I posted a while back. Something is cooking , all dips getting bought and that gap not filling. In fact if you look at 4 hour since dropping off the high of Sunday it has almost formed a rounded bottom. Real odd. Strength seems to be there for sure.

I wonder if they have cooked JP Morgans earnings again and we see ES blow thru 1200 tomorrow ( jp morgan reports tomorrow).



No name calling, respectable post. I can respect that. On that note, I'm willing to let bygons be bygons, if we can keep the post on that level, minus the name calling and what not. that goes for myself also. Do we have a deal. In addition, in regards to what my pm to you said, I couldn't follow up on that info I spoke about, but I did speak to my cousins there and they informed me of a custom motorcycle show coming up, so I may be coming to your neck of the woods.

I used to play the 30 pip days E/G did a few years ago before the GFC. It was so much easier to trade E/U or G/U then because they moved in the same direction as E/G was so stable. Since the GFC and added volatility in E/G, keeping an eye on the direction of E/G will give you a good idea of whether E/U or G/U will give you more pips when there is general $ weakness (even though I know GBP has a higher ADR but this afternoon was a perfect example of E/G's effect). G/U has been benefitting more lately because of general E/G weakness. See E/U and G/U have both lost approx. 40 pips on general $ strength while E/G has stabilised.
Nothing worth having is easy.
