Ok I am getting tired of holding my GU short and watching it do absolutely nothing for hours on end .. I will close it shortly ... so the rest of you be prepared for a major drop just after I do that
******************* I'd rather make money than be right.

I know, at a certain point you have to just convince yourself to stick with what is working .. that said, I can never resist checking out a new template or indy .. just in case
There has been a lot of lull moments...and in that time I do exactly the same. Apply something and then see if I can apply it...

I have gotten to the point where I had to delete indicators to try new ones...meta4 will only run so many.

I have deleted hundreds of trial templates that just needed a tweak or 2 and was changed in a next version.

Taking some time to go through the EA scripts has been an asset. Using the logic and some of the indicators that I have never come across has been another step in the journey of trading for me. Anything that grabs another pip per trade or helps me get out of a loser faster is all good, but it does get to be a little much.

I still have the first template I build a couple years back and always keep coming back to the same. Taking what I have found and applying the same logic. Everyday it just seems to get a little better.

Maybe I am heading into that Neo zone in the Matrix of Forex...the indies aside and just read the code of price action...try not to change the flow or pick the tops and bottoms, just ride the waves.

I have had my name passed along to a Broker to work direct, which could be exiting. Every trade a few more dollars, every day a new opportunity.

Gawsh, I effin love this game!

Blown up a bit, for visual, but I believe the two horizontal purple lines make up a good support/resistence channel... we seemed to not be able to push through this on the low volume that brought us up from the bottom. I am thinking it will take high volume to push us through this and to get that, we will have to head back to the bottom.

I'm going to risk my profit on my short trade to see if this plays out and heads shorter, because for some reason I am seeing a lower push before we move higher....

No.... A tweezer has basically the same high, low and body size as the previous bar.

Nope... that is a bullish engulfing bar unless I am mistaken... that example does not have a low even close to the low of the previous bar...

all good wormboy.... still short from 51643... I am seeing a head and shoulders set up in the making..., but I still think we have a ways to go.. pick your chart and you will see it! Rising neckline.. this should go beneath the low of the left shoulder, and I am guessing that will be the 200 sma.. then long and I am going to bed..

I just take the first setup on asia & take the money on the first exit tbh. Asia session is my kryptonite. I stay on any longer than the first setup, I usually end up losing money.
So .. got my money, going to bed now before I give it back to the sharks. Will be back at lo.
Hope you have a great day damon. Good luck!
