Yep...closed out at pirahna bite . Didnt go long though.....
just don't let the piranhas bite you then
Coming home from work now I see the rest of my short position closed at BE on another lil spike up there. Went just 3 pips above that level and then south again
One of those days as well for me today.
But at least my EUR/CHF found the right way to the upside now.

Hi guys/gals. I'm back after 4 days in Miami for a friends wedding. Now I remember why I moved back to the Tampa area after living there for 8 years! Traffic is horrible! I am no city person, that's for sure!

Thanks everyone for keeping the thread alive while I was gone. I read through the pages I've missed and saw a lot of good posts! This is definitely a thread with good traders in it!

I need to demo trade till tomorrow to get back into my groove so I'll be on and off until hitting it hard tomorrow.

Hey Marc,

I am playing with that "MA ribbon filled" indi, and wanted to know how to fill it with a solid color, as opposed to the one Ian posted that just has black vertical lines.

I am not "code savvy", so try to put it in layman's terms if possible.

Thanks in advance
Hi Low. I'll take a look at the MT4 version of the MA ribbon fill. It's a bit different than the ToS one that I normally use. I think that you just need to change the color in the properties and also change the size of the lines that it creates inside of the MA's. Give that a try and let me know.

Hi Marc,
Here is the MA-ribbon-filled.mq4 that I use in MT4.
Below is the section of the code for the size and colour that can be changed, don’t forget to compile before closing the MQ editor.

Here's one on the NZD

Fib 0.382, double bottom, holding at 35 EMA. Any cares? Hope I get it right this time. Every time I post, things just go the other way round.

Just woke up and scanning the charts. This is definitely a traders market...A/U, E/U are just sideways trading.

I guess this week is going to be rough with no apparent direction in the markets as we await the U.S. elections on Nov. 2nd. Add to that QE2 news and it's wild! Although each of my trades are patiently waited for I still have the sense that each trade is nothing more than a bet which leaves an uncomfortable feeling in my gut. I'm actually demo trading in between live trades just to keep attuned to PA while I wait for the next good setup!

On A/U I've used the last swing high Fibs, Pivot Points and MA's to make a few good trades. The stochs haven't been too reliable at this point which is surprising since we are range trading. You can see on the chart how well the Fibs have worked out. That purple 95sma has been key for me since yesterday. The last long bearish candle came right when the Dow futures hit -10 and gold lost another 3 points while the DXY rose a few cents. There is a possible 150/200 crossover in the making while the yellow 21 is crossing the orange 200 as I type. I'll definitely be Rule #8 on my list over and over this week: Only take high probability trades!

Good Luck everyone!

Hi Marc,
Nice to see you gettin back on track
Busy time at work here for me this week so not too many new trades here. My Short EUR/GBP from Last week finally found the right direction: south! (thanks to the GDP-figures for the UK earlier today)
Yesterday I went for a lil Short on the S&P after the (hopefully) double top on the H1.

--> I try to post some charts later on, when I am at my charts at home.

Demo-trading is always a good way to gain back confidence.

I agree that this week may be a ranging one. (concerning USD-pairs in particular) But maybe some other pairs offering some opportunities.

Green pips to you (hopefully not only in the demo-account)

Hi Tuner! Actually I'm losing in my demo account and winning in my live account! Why? because I'm only taking the highest probability trades in the live account and getting rid of that "itch" to trade with the demo account.

Heya Seifo,
Ya. That EUR/GBP dropped nice today. Good I didn't trail my stop too early last week when the trade was @ +50 already and then came back up to a new high yesterday.
So patience is what we need. Trailed my SL to BE now and cashed in a first lil portion.

hehe.. For me it is the complete opposite. I win much more on my demo-accounts... I trade all the setups I find in demo.. and just a few of them on the real account. and the real account still with a minumum of risk (lotsizes)

Tells me that I still don't have enough confidence in what I do.. but I will get there
