It's been a while since I posted here and I have missed you guys/girls a lot. As much as I hate it, this will have to be my last post for a long (maybe indefinite) while. With my posting trade ideas, or anything for that matter, there could be a potential conflict of interest with my current employment situation. So it is with a heavy heart that I am going to have to say goodbye to you for a while. And since this could be my last message, I thought I would give some last advice and tell you guys/girls how much I have learned from you.

First of all, the traders in this thread, are by far, some of the best traders I have ever had the pleasure to be aquainted with. I am constantly in awe at some of the technical skills and more importantly, the common sense that the traders in here show. This thread has always been a safe thread for new traders to come and learn and I am sure that it will stay that way.

Now for the advice. Keep it simple and control your emotions. I have said it before, the best advise you learned when you were in kid. KISS, Keep it Simple Stupid As many of the traders in here can attest, once you have tried all of the indicators and mumbo jumbo out there, you will always come back to what works; the simple stuff.

I will always be available through PMs and E-mail. If you ever need a ref or anything, you can always contact me. If you want my private e-mail, shoot me a PM.

Keep up the good work, you are in good hands with Marc as the moderator and the other regulars guiding the way. I hope only the best for all of you and may you always be in the green. Goodbye for now my friends

Saxon,

I just want you to know that I hate your employers.

And I would not be reaching for the things I am were it not for your support, it's not your charts or trades that will be missed, but your enthusiasm, genuine concern, fantastic attitude, experience and competence.

Best of luck in your endeavors .

I got short at 99038 last night at about 9:15pm est....
99018 sL that was at 50% retrace area. I had many of those, in fact way to often. I'd put my stop loss further away from FIB retracement and SR levels.. Got stopped out too many times being to close to those levels.

short on EJ, testing LTL now. Although not seeing clear PA yet. Would be a nice ride if bear continues today.

target fib 0.618 confluence with resistance level 109.60

Anybody seeing the same? Please feel free to share, whichever side of the curve you are at. Would be good to see a different a view of things.

Saxon,
We will miss you on here. But I can understand your decision.

Already felt the thread had lost a bit of "momentum" without you.
Sure many followers already learned a lot and can keep the thread alive.
All the best to you on your job!

Saxon.

Thankyou for all your time & commitment to this thread. Your actions as a trader have been invaluable for me to learn. I am slowly reading through this whole thread & I still have much to learn from all your posts.

.................................................................................
By the way, I want to pass on a couple of things that have helped me a great deal: There is a couple of short videos to watch (16 mins in total) & a short time of reading.

As I found out the hard way about trading & my health from late nights , & lack of sleep,

I hope & pray you have lots of sleep 6 - 8 hours every night,
NO MORE COFFEE !!

Drink organic barley grass & 3 litres of water every day.
(high PH alkaline water)


"The average healthy person should drink at least 1 quart of water for ever 50 pounds of body weight each day. A person with a serious health challenge should drink a liter for every 30 pounds. People often laugh when I say "we must pee our way to health," but I don't know how much simpler I can make it.
High pH water such as the water that comes from a good ionizer neutralizes acids throughout the entire body. Since acids underlie all disease entities, nothing makes more sense than neutralizing these acids.

One of my most often quoted statements goes like this: "When the fish is sick, change the water." We don't feed the fish medicine. We give them clean water. When the cells of our body our sick, we must change the water and fluids in which all cells and tissues are bathed."

Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara, president of the Hagiwara Health Institute of Japan. Barley grass is probably the most-researched grass due to his efforts. He researched more than 150 different plants over a period of thirteen years.

People who can't tolerate wheat grass juice may be able to enjoy the benefits of barley grass juice. Wheat-grass juice is extremely detoxifying and makes some people nauseous every time they drink it. Barley grass juice is milder, although bitter compared to the sweetness of wheat grass.

Health Benefits

Barley grass has a substance called P4d1 with strong anti-inflammatory action and is shown to repair DNA in the cells of the body, according to research by biologist Yasuo Hotta from the University of California, La Jolla. He found this aided in the prevention of carcinogenesis, aging, and cell death. P4d1 suppresses or cures pancreatitis, stomatitis, inflammation of the oral cavity, and dermatitis, and also lacerations of the stomach and the duodenum. Barley grass is much stronger than steroid drugs and has fewer if any side effects, according to his report in a Japan Pharmacy Science Association meeting.

"[Barley Grass is] one of the most incredible products of this decade. It improves stamina, sexual energy, clarity of thought, and reduces addiction to things that are bad for you. It also improves the texture of the skin and heals the dryness associated with aging."

— Dr. Howard Lutz, director of the Institute
of Preventive Medicine, Washington D.C.

Barley grass is very high in organic sodium. People who have a tendency toward dehydration need more organic sodium. People with arthritis have used celery juice for years because of the organic sodium it contains. According to Hagiwara, in his book Green Barley Essence, barley grass has 775 mg. organic sodium per 100 grams. This contrasts with 28 mg. sodium per 100 grams in celery. Organic sodium keeps calcium in solution in the bloodstream and also dissolves calcium on the joints. For this reason alone it should be very calming. It also replenishes organic sodium in the lining of the stomach.



I did some serious research on these topics as I needed to at the time.

All the best

Ian

Hi Flow...
Ya. rollercoaster shooting up again today. Sure expected some retrace... but not all the way back up again as E/U . crazy IMO.
With EU and AU now around weekly pivot it should be interesting what the direction will be.
Good you had the SL in place!

My good friend Saxon, so often our lives continue down paths that lead us away from each other. These were fun times together at the forum. I imagine you are one of the best friends I've ever known. I know good things are coming your way. Take care of yourself and your wife, I will drop you a line sometime.

EU.
Looks still undecided to me but I'll just give it a try now (with a tiny little lotsize )
Short from weekly pivot. Looking at the complete drop from last week this came in confluence with the 61.8 fib

Could still be some kind of H&S with a descending neckline?!
We will see. Stop is placed rather tight as I am not fully confident here.
time will tell

Yes definitely. SL is first rule of thumb. I expected the market to flip back to test previous highs but not overnight.

Whatever the feds are doing, their PR is working well on putting pressure on Yuan. But the whole world suffers with it though.

They'ed better do one sizeable QE - 1trillion is the benchmark. now. Lets see.
