Because it is so much more fun picking bottoms rather then following a pattern play?
Hey Cloggs,

Howd you do today? I am so excited as it looks like I am going to have my 1st positive week and it is a good one at that...

up 8% for the week and today is the most I've ever made in one day with 145 pips! JIPEE!

Next milestone is a positive month i guess?

BTW anyone got a feel good story of someone learning forex for say 3 years and then being able to go pro? just wondering as this week is the 1st time that I actually believe it to be possible?

Good day to you,

I believe congratulations to be in order. Very well done. Now just repeat what you have achieved, next week again. Focus - apply your mind. Anything is indeed possible.

Stick to your gameplan without fail. And sooner, rather than later:

well traders a couple charts to ponder , choose wisely , 1st the 15 min chart that shows the beating that the hourly 200 has been providing and the 4 hour 200 plus the quaterly high that it keeps popping from , which one gives 1st and leads to a big move , today our daily swing was smaller , do we just end up with a smaller day tommorow or do we break out one way or the other on crazy friday , green pips to all, cheers

sterling broke very important levels today again, if we close the day below 5610, there will be a lot of pressure to the downside...

Another high wave candle today, indicating further uncertainty. But i cant see this range lasting much longer, will wait for solid break- preferably more than 120 pips either side and even better a close on the daily at this distance. then wait for retrace(if that happens) and trade as near the breakout level as possible.

alternatively, a false break (again better if this was over 50 pips) of the top or bottom of this channel would probably mean i take the breakout in the other direction.

i will wait and see if the market wants to play ball!

MAX contracts in the futures market have been traded around this level since January - 1.558 and 1.559... so this is where price has exchanged contracts the most... what has the trend been since January... up and up and up... are long positions being closed and we are going to see a dollar rally, which means shorting the GBP?

According to the my chart, the compression is wound up tighter than an 8 day clock currently... I believe your right, it can't stay that way much longer. Now its just a matter of waiting for the break.

Yesterday in the Asian session we had a ~100 pip move
off of this 15m EMA compression that was stopped short
by the news in the LDN session causing the price to reverse
drawing all of the EMA's on the 15m and 30m together again
and beyond. They are now reforming nicely on these two
charts for possibly another go if the price will contain the
EMAs in the compression zones (CZ). Now the 15m and
30m are more in sycn than we've seen in several days.

Just a little word to let people know that this kinda situation is really dangerous.

That kind of consolidation over high Time Frame (7 days in a row in range) can create such next move that if you don't have a clear plan, this could wipe your account - taking the time to say " SH*T!

So beware or be square guys!
This is no place to gamble.

Later!

Obvious movement is towards 1.5510
I'm seeing some relative strength GBP versus USD
Latest up move of USD compared to earlier g/u relations would lead to expect GU around 1.5530 but it currently is 1.5595
USD-Index indicates renewed weakness, that being the case I think the obvious will not presented, we will go north and eventually breaking 1.57
Going long @ 1.5595 SL @ 1.549 and target open
Don't be a hero. Don't have an ego. Always question yourself

Its all about diciplne (having a plan, respect it) and creates habits (experience).

A pro is nothing more then a consistant winner in/over time.
Witch not mean he's always a winner/every day.

Wish you the best!
