What is the checker?
Just another scout with minimal size?

15:03 - Wow DOW with jump from 11078 to 11108, So predictions have a very short life time ;-)
15:04 - Now is coming down and EU is following ... But still in the range ...
15:38 - possible headsup for move down by cable.
15:39 - DOW retesting high - and broken. Gold is hesitating. EU too
15:48 - DOW still runing up. Irelands decision wants the market to take some more risk now, means buyiong equities ...
15:49 - Gold seems to be turning to the north too. I'll trade the range till we have a break at top side. Means I'll scale into my short again ...
15:52 - major US news in 7 minutes. Will not initiate anything. Pos. Recap: short 2x
16:03 - better than expected figs -> USD bull as long as he is showing strenght
16:12 - sorry, very busy now with trading the vola. So only delayed report. Trading heavy loaded EU short. Reducing exposure at every retrace and relaoding, when move is going down again. not sure if 1.36 is going to break, but I use the rejections for scaling in and out ..
16:27 - nice move down so far. Now we are at that level at that the "ireland bosst" hast started tuhis morning. If you enlarge your M5 chart, so that you can see Asian session too, there could be a nice S-H-S forming. But PA will show us ...
17:23 - have traded two more times the move down from +3600 level. At least till now (we have a break yet) PA has accepeted my trendline MA(12) line very well. It served me for scaling in and measurement of vola. Will not trade anymore today. Want to do some moe detailed analysis of fti sample sessions ...

CU,

daily - possible northbound...
4h - currently sitting on a strong resistance level...
1h - near approaching a reaction zone - an area with high interest...

i'll just wait for the momntum to pick up and volatility to drive price back in motion... and only then we'll have a clearer picture of the terrain...

... for now i'll sit tight...

Sometimes I think the mkt also need a strong brew of espresso to jolt it into action...

Maybe we should monitor the intetmarket relationship between coffee futures & 3 Fx kingdoms

Short term Bias is LONG... Mini resistance @ 3650 zone

Dance well

Thks for the endorsement buddy

Like the Yoda would say, i'm slowly beginning to feel the "FORCE" or in this case "FLOW"

Been reading about Graeme's Inception method... Since he uses it to fine-tune for razor sharp low risk entries... I was pondering we could reverse -engineering it and use it for rescue operation...

Fti mention to do battle in our chosen timeframe and if soldiers are trapped in battle to look to the higher TF for possible whereas in Graeme's state that PA would normally do the following:

1) 33% retracement of prior candle and bounce;
2) 50% retracement and bounce back;
3) retracement to the opening of the previous candle and bounce;

Was testing out the idea earlier and manage to successfully rescue my troops on the bounce of the on the opening of the 4H candle... Although it a was highly skewed rescue operation... Will be looking to my teacher (i.e. Market) to strategize my idea further

Oh looks the bears are slowly waking up from their slumber...

Dance well

remember over analysis will paralyze a person... always take what is workin for you... KISS- keep it simple & strong...

just dance and feel the market... nothing is better and powerfull than that... other simple tools are just mere referencing...

take note... rescue should be done swiftly as possible and in lesser pain... and quick!!!... check your pain treshold...

spot on mate!

bringing back home soldiers home soon... before reaching 50%... scaling down... just leave one soldier from L4 to become new scout and bring the old one home... wounded but L4 & L3 already bring in pips

now you know sigma & vega... use it to your advantage...

edit: ...and don't forget to seek direction...

let's get them ...
