Divergence again and some one hr. candle tops. Only 10 pips but it was an early entry on a counter trend and not sure of the downward strength.

I'm really hoping Medici and Islander haven't tired of this thread.

I think I can speak for both of us when I say that posting in almost real time around FO / LO impacts considerably on our own trading.

For my part, I will no longer be active in FF whilst I am trading and will restrict any posts to non active times.

I trust that the regulars will understand and will continue - hopefully - to benefit from the hard work that we have both put in here over the past few months.

May we all continue to improve our daily pip count!

Best regards

Islander

I'm very well thanks, and continue to develop my relationship with Miss Whiplash. She is as usual demanding, but she wants to submit in the end, making all the hard work pay off

Like Islander said, maintaining the thread (not to mention the countless PMs) has taken its toll on the pip count, and it's time to focus on my own trading and taking it to the next level.

It has been lots of fun to take things this far, and it is worth the while when one gets PMs with expressions of gratitude for turning trading lives around.

But at the same time it seems that the methods we originally based the thread on have been less enthusiastically received than the #1 hit single Composite Index Divergence.

So perhaps there is also a bit of a mismatch between our core interests and what is now the main focus of the thread.

Having said that, I will as always be happy to help, but I will no longer let it interfere with my own trading. I will continue posting, off trading hours, and I will follow the thread and assist to the extent that time allows.

And with all the quality contributors to thread I hope it will continue to develop.

But, for now, best of luck to all and may you all get to know the meaning of Shakespeare's words In the reproof of chance lies the true proof of men.

For those of you who may think that the US economy has finally came out of the woods, here's a couple of charts for your reflection.

A beautiful H&S pattern has just been completed, and such patterns (research shows) have preditive power.

Are we set for the bear market of the millenium, starting today? Is this the opportunity of a lifetime to short SPY?

For the CI afficionados, please note the strong divergence!

Last one of the week, seriously out of hours I know!!, not a good divergence but thought I might just dip my toe in, dragged its heels somewhat but my prayers to the forex fairies to get to the middle of the band were answered!!.

total for the week: 5 trades 4wins 80%. all posted except the bad one which was a sell yesterday as it touched 1.3400 at 6.45. ( round numbers lesson learnt!!)

Hi Medici,
Yes thats the one, I was alittle hasty in taking it when I switched on and was zoomed right in at the time!, could'nt even decide if it was going up nor down hence the lines on top!!. luckily I got out positive but oh how depressing hindsight can be to see it just how far it carried on going - Think I need to work on the "letting it run" theory a bit more.

regards and have a splendid weekend.

Hi guys,

Well the trip was good and now I am back and ready to have another go at this.

Looking at all the posts you have been rather busy, too busy in fact !

I agree that your own business must come first so I will have a read back over the info you have so generously shared and hope we can get an overview or a summary of your trading set ups when you get the chance.

All the best

Hi Islander,

Thanks for that, interesting that there are a couple of places that also had CII divergence on that bar.

OT: When in Cairns I saw this at the marina, apparently having some alterations done http://www.charterworld.com/news/all...in-new-zealand

Hi,

If I had known that I would have gone on board and said you sent me to say hello

I did see a guy about 40 with lady and a couple of kids go on board when I was there.

Easily the most impressive SAILING craft I have ever seen and ever likely to see, just awesome. I just stood on the dock stunned, truly amazing craft.
