I know some dudes who do a live webcam show every morning, just talk and joke about with the group while making pips...regarding how commercial you want it that's entirely up to you.

I think a fair cost is something like, 1 goat a month? Prize goats though, none of that weak shit
LOL - ever since I found a large billy-goat - and mon his cojones were LARGE! - standing on his hind legs on the bonnet / hood of my my hire car - this was in Antigua, and the owner was a friend - eating berries off the tree that I was using for shade, I've been of the opinion that the only good goat is a curried one

I did start to try to remove him, but quickly decided that retreat to a cold Carib made more sense than loosing out in the cojones battle to his nasty horns http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon11.gif

Islander, This is a chart you posted Friday morning, if you get some free time tomorrow, could you label the exact candle you would have entered on and your reasoning for doing so.. 1 min is too fast for me yet but would be grateful for your insight..

Medici Thanks for your warm welcome to the thread, I live in North Ireland, Co, Tyrone 40-miles west of Belfast and 150 miles from Galway unfortunately, I hope you enjoyed your stay in Ireland.

Medici, On friday in one of your posts, you referred to the difficulity in drawing fibonacci retracements...
Hi Moxie

In each case after the LH /HL at the first arrow.....in the first case, a sell, its after the small green Inside Bar, so plenty of time.

In the second, a buy, price was moving around a **00 level, so after it retraced down and then broke that level upwards, that was the buy.

Regards

GM - and trust that those in the UK are enjoying their Bank Holiday.

Bullish dvg on several TFs on the new lows before FO and then a HL for a buy that has so far failed to reach the Asian high. Good for 20+ pips and the attempted follw thru has so far failed at the 550 level

LO as such is unlikely happen today....

A nice down trend line on the 15m chart was respected in FH with a LH that has already fallen 40 pips to make a new low for the day so far.....that makes a potential total of say 50 pips for the alert trader and in respect of you UK guys, I'm calling it a day.....

Hi Medici
Just wanted to pop in on a trading day off (well morning at least) for me. As others have mentioned here the CII works REALLY well for divergence. When it pops up on MTF's (I'm using mainly 1hr + down) entries on good candles have been very good.

Once again thanks so much for posting this, nice one.

What feed are you using Moxie, looks urgly, some dude told me most brokers have issues with displaying all the ticks or some crap

Here's what I see, I actually like m1 a lot because it seems simpler to me.. for instance here we saw the run-up consolidate, at a decent m15 SR level, formed a big bearish engulfing, sign of weakness, lower high, another bearish engulfing, you can take as the most conservative entry.. or get in if you can sense the LH forming, so within that last engulfing candle

HI Sim, Nice looking chart for sure and a beatifull trade, and more important to me is the detailed explanation as to why you took the trade..

I use an MT4 demo account for the charts, But I take my trades using a spread beting firm. They have a chart package but I find the MT4 easier to get around..

Yep, get an IBFX or forex.com mt4 demo, they have better m1 feeds

Strong div, outside BBs, 127 and 138 extensions were respected quite nicely IMO, plus bankhol so I don't see any break of the h1 highs as very realistic.. Not the best entry, break of TL was most conservative

Also attached is how I'm managing the trade, because I suck at holding trades so please critique me if you want

You're welcome. Thanks for sharing. Still coming to terms with its unreasonable effectiveness myself. It's almost like it's leading indicator, and I thought all indicators were lagging.....

Nice entry Sim, but I have a question, I saw divergence a little after where you highlighted

So I thought the market was going to come back up, obviously I read the chart incorrectly, did you stay in the trade or did you exit for a quick scalp?
