Thanks, I appreciate your help and I'm learning a lot.

Back to EUR/NZD, now the 3H chart. There is a nice pin bar on the S/R line. Lucky me I did not enter, I would have been stopped out.

In hindsigh, why not enter at that pin bar? It didn't touch the trend line but that's not always the case, right?
a pinbar is only valid IF it breaks. in your chart the pinbar never broke. so do not trade here!

oh i see, thank you very much chris again.
i am still learning, luckily my faults dont cost much

with all the positive things trading very small deposits with oanda, their charting software is really poor. daily is the biggest timeframe :/

i trade a very small acount with real money, i cant trade a demo account like i would with real money. so i am getting used to trading real money and slowly building up.

Use a metatrader demo with another broker for your charting. It's not always exactly the same as a live feed but on higher time frames it shouldn't make too much difference.

I agree 100%. MT4 has the best charts. Look for a broker that offers a lifetime demo, like ibfx.com

Cautionary tale: I was, then added positions, which turned out to be "averaging down", moved my stops relentlessly, and ended up taking a 30% hit to my account 6 days before it turned in my favor.

Idiocy is expensive. I believe Chris is still in it, and in profit.

Yes, I took a loss on eurusd today so I'm flat everything at the moment and sitting and waiting for the next good trade. I'm not sure that watching for trends is such a good idea at this time of year so I'm going to be concentrating on clear bounces from s/r that have some room to move.

Talking of which usdcad could be a short at the end of tonight but my only question is how much room as it got to go anywhere before it meets support? Is the gain worth the risk? I'm thinking not although I think it'll go down tomorrow.

Jharvey had it right the other day, weekly charts are the way to go, just need extreme patience!

Tomorrow will not be the day to take a trade. If you are flat, then your week should be over.

No, the damn Kiwi got me. It was a profit, but I got clipped, and am still not happy about it. ;-)

Anyway, the reason I am not 100% sure about this chart, is the following: (It's all the wicks in this shaded area that has me wondering.)

It is probably some short covering. Everyone has been short the EUR and long Gold.

As far as the future......Gold needs to pull back in my opinion anyway. So to hell with 'em.

To my English friends:

Every 4 years, I have to hear over and over about how "soccer" is something that Americans call football. I cannot count how many times someone has derided me for being from the US, and that we call it "soccer."

Two things come to mind: Although we got eliminated at the same stage, I would venture to say the US made a better account of itself this time. (Even if we should have made it to the Semi Finals.)

The other is that Soccer is your word, not ours.

But none the less, the English tend to not know the history of the word soccer. (Ok, rant done. lol)
