5 min or 15 mins TF cloggie, please could u specify the number for me to understanding for now

There is no point me telling you (again), you need to find your own strategy and setups, no point copying someone else if you don't understand the ins and outs you will never make money.

That post where I gave those levels to keep the longs going was a continuation of a post where some of us took the long from 5837. We had been discussing a trade that has been going for close to 50 pips, getting in now and expecting a similar success rate is a seperate setup.

Do yourself a huge favour and start here: www.babypips.com

This is a trading thread where a certain knowledge of terminology is a prerequisite. IF you want to understand the plan, read every post since last Friday, dozens of us have gone over it several times.

Looks likely to top at 1.64ish, then down again.

The 30 looks good. On the H4 the middle one is too low, it should straddle the lower PA higher up putting it almost in the middle.
Cloggie,

I have to say I am extremely impressed by your professionalism and the attitude you demonstrate towards laying out your plans, carrying them out and consistently repeating the same procedure over again...

Although we may use different methodologies...there is a common line that runs through all the top achievers and successful people:

Re-iterating the basic principles that you believe in "aloud" by propagating them and walking even others through them you practically are at the final level of the battle as a top trader...your belief sets echoeing through your mind...drilling the same principle over and over and over again so the mind has zero chance of deviation and taking control...

No Sir you become the master of your own mind and destiny instead of the other way around and command it to do what you believe to be the right thing by programming it this way...

this steadfastness in the face of monotony and inertia breeds strength of character and consistency and conquers the inner demon of mediocrity and inferiority...

This work ethics is what every professional should strive to adopt...regardless of what methodology or what goals and no matter in what field of endeavor...

You got my vouch any time, my man...


Stay The Way You Are
and
More Power To You!

All I can say is thank you. I do lose my patience at times with some posters here, purely because some trade calls are so silly it beggars believe. And I do try to make a difference here. In a perfect world all retailers would be profitable, there is enough money to go around.

Once again, thank for your kind words.

Careful there, not every breakout is worth trading just because they happen. On GC the hourly is consolidating on that last drop and is actually on the way up, that break was a good example of a fakeout, just a bit of late profit taking by some traders. The point I have been trying to make is focusing on price by means of levels that give in the direction of the intermediate trend.

Just watch this one closely and keep your stops tight, top of the range should be good. Also CHF crosses don't behave the same way Cable does. Especially after London is closed, not much call for it.

You are a bit late on this trade, the breakout of the reversal at the bottom would have been the one to trade, and this break is just the confirmation/rejection of that earlier breakout.

You are right again. Watching the trend lines I have to see if it can go lower than the last try down. If not I am out with a small loss.

This is good, you will learn more from mistakes then you ever will from copying someone else. Having a box in mind, in effect focuses you on 2 levels that become important in your trade, one that confirms that you are on the right track and one that tells you to chuck it and look for something else. And it was a nice example of a fake 'n shake..... (fake a break, shake the tree to collect some retail money and move on; a nice little sucker break. And guess what, you got suckered.)

As an aside, if you draw that box slightly slanted you actually have a nice bull flag with 3 touches to the top and 2 to the bottom, textbook.

as you've all indicated indicators are next to useless, what about SSI data, ie. sentiment data? is that relevant? or are we just basing our educated guesses on candlesticks and price action?
