how many yrs. trading, has your system worked for you and what is your trading history like....or current account, lol......ofcourse you can pm me if you don't want to answer here...

I don't know if you came across this or no but when usins support and resistence levels......it's best to use and if reach or if break strategy....
meaning waiting for retracement or confirmation of breakout....
I trade for a living, and I'm not hurting. 2007 was rough, but my patience and discipline has improved 1000 fold. Changed my profitability margin big time. You just seemed kind of new to me. I was reading your post about time, and you had seemed like you found the holy grail or something, then I have seen you advising other people on trading, including sending me links to trading material, and it just had me confused! Good luck.

Been a while since I've looked the Greece 10 year...

But here we go, moved above 10%.

Believe the politicians or believe the charts? Which will you believe?
I guess I'll never cease to be amazed by counter-intuitive retracements. My guess is though, we may have some movements leading up to the results of the EU bank stress tests. Then we might have a clearer direction of where to trade.

The holy grail.....Someone said it ....I must be on dope!!! I use elliott independently....and better than EWI and dailyfx (for me)......I have discovered and advanced elliottwave timecycles......it was mentioned in "dynamic trading" It works sometimes and sometimes it fails.....I think it is because I havn't perfected my applying it technique.....besides they only teach you the broad lines......same with elliott.....you have to figure out the retracements (rythem) with experience and time.....so I think with more time I will have the Time cycles perfected ..........I can show you that they work........just not all the time........ I can figure out what happened AFTER IT HAPPENED and that doesn't cut it .......but if the holy grail is somwhere it is elliott and the pattern timecycles......the most advanced of technical analysis is elliott......I have been through the whole path from the beginning....this has paid me well......

I might be saying this for nothing but for those who are reading and wondering about japanese candlesticks, according to Oliver Velez, Steve Nison is the expert on the subject and his book called "Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques" is considered the bible on the subject.

I read it and it's a good read but maybe I'm not too sharp interpreting them because one of the only things I've found useful is looking at long shadows. In any case, someone leaked the book on the Internet so it's available for free (google, easy find).

Jay, I don't know why, but I always thought you were like an English person in London or something. Recently, I've come to learn that you are in Asia. I'm trying to adjust my mental image of your surroundings.

Patience is huge. Mine sucks. I'm working on it.

Can't tell you how many times I've been right initially, but my patience gets me out of stuff too soon and I end up with either a loss, missed move or minor gain.

I grew up on Okinawa in the mid 80's and became pretty fluent, still know how to read a little of the hiragana and katakana. Never learned Kanji, it's pretty intimidating and quite beautiful.

I think everybody struggles with that at first. Now I place my trade and move on to something else right away; like FF, youtube, internet movies, porn, jokes, forex websites, more porn, etc.

You have kanji, hiragana, and katakana. I don't remember how many are in each, but it's plenty. I think katakana has 40 primary symbols, (characters) but they can also be combined to create other sounds. Kind of how we combine multiple letters to create a sound you can combine multiple symbols (characters) to create another sound.

Example: combine SHI with YA to make the SHA sound. It can be rather complicated to explain. The YA would be smaller than the SHI.


It's been years, I'm in my 40's now. I was a youngster then.

Edit: here you go if you want to read up on it.

Here's some info on Kanji. There's thousands of kanji characters.

If you really notice, "seniors" don't do anything special. They don't have some special formula or trick. They might have some slight preferences as to when to enter or exit, but they all do the same thing. I'm not going to say specifically what that is, you need to figure that out on your own. Here's a hint: it's very simple. That one simple thing along with patience is the holy grail (or about as close to it as it gets).

No, English is my second language. I suppose my English skills are good enough. I'll take that as a compliment
