Just for the record: had a clear TP on this trade and gathered only half of the profit. Distraction..

All trades closed for the weekend.

Diamond in the middle of a trend. The reason you got profit from it was caused by low avg range on both monthly and weekly along with triangle and major TL break :=) Got to love profit !

Awww man hopefully that's not a jab at me...but very well could be after my usd/jpy gamble.

Anyways, very nice trades Mr.C and I'm always learning from your posts, AEDiaz, Bel (even though you might've just dissed me), and the other experienced posters.

Only trend line that matters is the upward sloping equity line. Thanks AEDiaz for pointing out why that diamond worked out...TBH the traffic threw me for a loop because that's not where I expected the pattern to show. Thanks again Mr.C for the postings of the trades.

I was going to post this in the Igrok thread but didn't want to detract from the intent more so than I feel I may be doing, BUT I found another experienced trader that uses "diamonds". Check it out: http://www.marketgeometry.com/?p=4437. I like Igrok's diamonds better though...lol. Link is more for entertainment reading than actual trading utility IMHO.

Paranoia is a thought process heavily influenced by anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion. Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory beliefs concerning a perceived threat towards oneself.

I discovered the same "strategy" myself 2-3 years ago but discarded it rather quick. I think its little precise (extremely if you compare to Igroks method) and the success-rate is not that high.

Agreed that was a fleeting paranoid thought that most likely stems from inexperience in Igrok's method coupled with weekend whiskey. Wish FF had something like Gmail's Beer Goggle's to stop it...lol. Glad to know I was just being paranoid.

LOL at "strategy". That's why I mentioned, more for entertainment rather than real-live trading utility. Yes I completely agree with the imprecision of his diamond method and it's so strange he says he's been trading it for over 20 years. I came across it while researching further about diamond patterns. What Igor says about majority of market participants being technically illiterate is so true. While researching the patterns I saw some posts where the diamonds didn't even look close...like this one: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3592/...0c7133.jpg?v=0
If anything to the left of that chart you could say you had a dual diagonal (plus MACD div looks present but not sure of waterlevel), but definitely not a diamond pattern where it is. No wonder Bel is feelin' good stacking pips from peeps that have no idea what they're doing. lol

Carry on Mr.C...apologies...

Stopped out with -32 pips. Reverse activated and closed for +30 pips (high ADR). Happy that I got out only with a small loss on this trade, because it was more like a wishful thinking here.
