Yes Mauzz. I couldn't have said it any better.

Now it doesn't mean that BEOB may fail or invalidate itself. It means for me that I would not take a full bar loss because its not the best BEOB in terms of location.
Full bar loss? I thought you too were a fan of reduced stops. I try to place my stops behind some logical points (such as BRNs, PPZs). In this case I placed my stop at 83.15 relying on the strength of the 83.00 level which seems to be holding fairly well right now. But I guess it will be only when London opens that we'll really find out how this setup turns out.

Sorry that was a typo. I would not take a full bar loss.

I am entering the CHF/JPY(S) and USD/CAD(L) Based off my daily candles. The TA has actually already been discussed here.

The USD/CAD daily entry also includes a rejection at the 78.6% Fib of the up move off of 0.99297. I'm declining the CHF/JPY entry for now.

The USD/CAD is additionally coming off the Weekly S1 Pivot Point, in addition to some 4HR support back from May 4th. Some weakness in Oil will help, as this would indicate some further USD strength.

I saw that exact spot when I shorted the daily I4B, yet my manager missed it by 1 friggin pip (to move the stop to b/e) and I had to manually shut it for a 1% loss. Pretty lame.

I think the best book in terms of trading psychology is Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. The book really lays out the path to failure and the reasons why some of the smartest traders still fail. READ IT.

lol. No one has believed that for at least twenty years, Norm.

I don't think reminiscences highlights his success nearly as much as his failure. Its more about the reasons he failed, than the reasons he succeeded.

Price failed at 19.5 twice back in time. Price has been floating around this level for the past 3 days, and a bearish PB has formed yesterday. If it drops, the 1st trouble area will be 19.00.

Look at the 4 hour BEOB on the Eur/Jpy from yesterday.

The 1st green line (previous bar low) I would consider the First Trouble Area the 2nd green line (previous bar low) as the Target to either take profit or adjust my position.

tax deduction - its practically a 40% off sale!

I pick up alot of mine used - at least the older stuff. Suprising amount out there, between eBay, Amazon and betterworldbooks.

I think alot of people out there see a title, buy a book, and then never read it. I assume that knowledge magically transports into people's brains as soon as they purchase goods or services, I guess.

LOL, I'm looking at a stack of 5 books I haven't even touched yet. But to my credit I've read close to 12 books fully and 3 partially. Not including any PDF books or whitepapers. (specific to Forex, doesn't include books on economics or commodities then it's closer to 40).

I have no idea if it has helped me or just turned my brain into mush with information overload. I lean towards mush.
