This is where I am looking forward to having more than one monitor. EU was setting up nicely to my rules. Took it. Then watched the bottom fall out of the pound and later drag the EU with it.

I will watch awhile for a new entry.

New EU long

Price ran into some hard resistance on the 1h chart. Also 38.2 fib that goes back to the low on Friday. This may give some life to my long.
Pound is getting some footing as well.

Back from vacation for a week, I went short on the false tokyo-breakout, wasn't enough brave to let it run and I closed with only 10 pips of gain. Better than nothing.

About the poud, I agree with you that two monitors are necessary, I personally think that 3 of them would be the best for me, now I use 2 x 22" .
And... I have been looking at the correlation between EU and GU and I find it quite interesting.

Now, actually, seems like GU is catching up with the asimmetry that had been built with the EU till now in the middle term, I will try to make myself more clear...

this is the correlation of EU with GU with an overlayed scaled chart.
The zero line means the the two pairs are moving on the same way, before that, EU was "underperforming" GU (and GU was "overperforming" EU), now with this GU drop the two things are more aligned.

It's a tricky concept but it's very interesting.

My eventual goal is 6 monitors. Have a guy now looking into building me a CPU for it with used parts to keep the cost down. Then most of the expense will be in the screens.

I think I will miss less and catch more of what I am looking for.

Rufus,
Do you have the (day) pivot line on 1.28661? I am testing with some pivot .mq4.

Did you take this move (see chart)?

I finally put the saddle a friend gave me (Circa 1920) on Buddy, my horse. It is like sitting in an easy chair. There is something about sitting astride a tall stout horse with a comfortable saddle that makes you feel like there is nothing in the world you can’t handle. I seem to forget all that is going on and appreciate only the feel of a great horse and saddle and lots of fond memories.

Buddy is a Draft Paint cross. He weighs about 1500 lbs and 16+ hands. I need a large horse due to leg length.

One of these days I will get a picture of Buddy to post here.

Waiting for London to open, so I thought I would lay out by fibs the EJ. It is flat remarkable.

Good evening/good morning Rufus,

Do you pay any attention to the news, generally speaking?

Good luck this week.

Yep. I try to keep track of it all. What I love are "Tentative" JPY news. I don't understand this. They can make a great car, that I can't fit in, yet can't decide to give out news or not. I guess they give it out if it suits them? Right noew I am sure thgey want to weaken the Yen.

Very Nice Hand Made Saddle.

My dad wend to Idaho when he retired and learned how to make saddles. He has made me a couple over the years and there is nothing like a nice saddle with a good seat in it. I like the old slick seat as well. Looks like it rides good.

Hi Rufus,
Nice chart (but you know me), but how do you scalp with those lines I see?
Another question, can you place your pivot.mq4 + midlevels on the blog?

I am learning every day and I still make stupid mistakes (the psychological side is difficult).

The psychological seems to be a hard hurdle to get over at times. It's what will blow an acccount, or freeze you to inaction. This is the #1 reason I try to prepare so much with my charts. Supply/demand levels etc. Last night I found myself making some stupid mistakes and realized I was way to tired to be trading plus had a headache. To many nights in a row staying up till 2:30am trading London. Then getting up to go to work by 6:00am. Got in a nap today though so gonna hit it tonight.

As for the scalp... the lines don't tell me much. The stochastics I wanted pointing down is all. The Keltner Channel is something I have been looking at but don't rely on it as much.

I hit the submit button before I was ready. I better not do that while trading...

The bigest reason for the entry is marked by the arrow. Price hit a strong S/D zone.

It is so important to wait a little time before you place a trade. You nee to understand what is happening. Otherwise you see things that are not true. I don’t mint to loose a few pip o a good technical trade but it is stupid to take a trade that wasn’t good in the first place. Arghhhhhh.

PATIENCE!

Do you also use different daily Moving average on your lower time frames? For example a 10 DMA (or do you use other ma’s and in what for way)?
