Lucky you!

No, I said "until his recent relocation", i.e. to Downing Street.

From my perspective, your chart seems so nervous, and I suspect it's the drugs...

i wouldn't be able to trade like that so well done if you've found a way that works for you. But would you be able to do it day in day out until you get both Christmas and birthday cards from your bank manager?

Ohh I missed that..

Haha so you are most likely near a nest of Camerons! I do feel for you!

I wanted to bet they would win the election back last December but didn't know bookies were taking bets then! Found out later odds were like 100:1!!!

And, btw, I mean the reaaal suburbs hahaah, much further out than Dulwich and the sort

Ahh I see.. come out here me old fellow we all live the life just like in Desperate Housewives (not)

Haha I see what's happening now, my charts do look psychedelic.. as far as sustainability goes I feel personally it is my most reliable method of trading. Most mornings I am up 10% by lunch.. which is kinda dreamy. As far as the bankroll goes we will have to see, my last birthday I was still at Uni so you can write that one off haha, thus we must aim for coming Christmas

That's excellent. What's the method if I may ask?

EDIT: And trader burnout can be a serious issue, so do think about the long-term sustainability. My own solution to it is to mostly trade the morning only.

Eek - I wish I could say, or even put it into words...it's just naked charts and I watch all timeframes, trade triggers off the S30 and M1

Thanks though! Both you and Islander have been a great help.. though you didn't know it!!

Just your approaches to the market, sensible, thought-out, consistent... the mere name of your thread implies daily routine, which is what echoed in my head to wake early and go through the process of learning

And obviously, the way you guys work with SR is valuable for any reader to go back and study, if they have not yet done so

That's good to hear. I'm glad that things have been helpful.

And I shouldn't harp on it, but do think about trader burnout. It can be a serious issue, and what you want is long-term sustainability. My own solution to it is to mostly trade the morning only.

Definitely, it is crucial, as are all psychological aspects of trading. With burnout and overtrading, it feels just like burnout from overtraining (), which I have naturally approached with the same attitude I have done with sports etc.. I work at it daily and increase my work capactiy, always drivin for my A game...developing the feel of things, and as that feel comes I intuitively get to reap the rewards and spend less actual time focussing and preparing, letting 'flow' take over.

So if you saw me a number of weeks ago, I'd be stressed before lunch, hardly turning a profit, now I go till 3/4pm and it all feels chilled.

Sunny today ain't it

The weather's rubbish and makes guests heave their lunch over the side, thus we're back in port.

So as soon as I cast off my lines, you guys start a boob-fest.....I see I need to bring in my First Mate to install some disicpline - she weilds a fearsome rope's end......http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon11.gif

Now back to divergence and all that stuff......some great posts today....and OK, the 1 min has to be used sparingly as its easy to loose sight of the bigger picture, that's why I have 3 monitors with 1min, 5 min and 15 min charts contiually displayed.

For me the EMAAngleZero has two uses, firstly to show divergence on this TF - the CII is proving great on the 5min and above - and secondly to show when we MIGHT expect a pull back to the 30 EMAs. This is similar to the Juice Indy developed by Strato - a great teacher who died last year. By adjusting the setting and colours you can customise it to your own requirements and incorporate it into your trading rules for pull back trades from an OB / OS situation.... http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Today both the Sweet Spots and pivots have been active in providing S&R and continue to confirm their usefullness in intra day trading....

Fearsome rope's end!! Ah, BDSM, Caribbean rum, reggae music, and Jags. Those are the tastes of a refined person!

Might be relevant for your development as a trader, Sim, to acquire such tastes. You see, your fixation on boobs and 1min charts may be related.

May I suggest a trip to Brixton for Caribbean meal and drinks at Bamboula followed by a night at Torture Garden to take the next step on your journey and widen your senses a bit?

Islander, do you have any links to the proper Juice indicator? I did a search and it gave a number of questionable hits it seemed to me.

And when you are talking about sweetspots, do you get those from SDX-TzPivots?
