Your avatar shows 6 screens is that really your setup? Looks pretty sweet, especially for demo. Do you trade something other than Forex?
Hi tj... yes that is one of my computer setups. Its now over 6 years old and was setup exclusively for trading Its great for running multiple charts, methods, or multiple versions of EA's... for testing, for example. Those are 19" SyncMaster 940b monitors, very nice. The box has 2 quad port nVidia cards so it can run 8 monitors actually.

I don't need something like that these days tho as I no longer bother with sqiggly lines on my charts. It is handy to have dual screens tho, all a trader really needs is two widescreen monitors... the Samsung SyncMaster 245BW 24'' look nice.

If you want to go overboard how about this?

"yes that is one of my computer setups." You have more than one?

Got an older desktop with 2 monitors and a 17" laptop that I keep at work.

Trading paid for all of them.

AUD/CAD 3Tap 4H is setting up. Wait for daily RSI to point down... I'm in this trade from an earlier setup.

0.9670 is the level that it would touch it, so get ready to buy it there, I have been looking at this level for over 14 days. GET READY TO GO LONG ON AUD/USD, it will fetch you at least 200 pips, don't mind all those blue lines they are my minor s and r levels, the yellow lines is the main trendline of the bullish channel valid from 6th of June 2010, 6th of July, 25th of August and now this week it comes

welcome to the thread uncle, however the trade you posted has nothing to do with the purpose of this thread.

We are watching and learning Lawgirls 4bar BO and 3Tap trades here.

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering how long everyone was in front of their PC's?
Is everyone watching the screen, waiting for 3taps to form or is everyone more relaxed about it and just checking the charts whenever they have time?
I can find 3taps left, right and center after the fact, but I'm kind of struggling finding them real time......
Also, has anyone decided to narrow down their charts to a chosen few? or would that significantly lessen the number of possible trades?

Thanks in advance for any input.

If you're trading longer timeframes like daily or weekly, you can get away with checking the charts once or twice a day.

Checking for 3 Taps at about 2:00PM gmt and about an hour or so b4 the London open will get you more trades than you can handle.

If you are trading the 4 bar BO (hourly chart) and don't have a lot of time, just check at 4 to 5 hours after the day starts... after 2:00 PM GMT.

I guess it really depends where you are in the world.

You only need a few of these trades a week if you are patient... there's 100 pippers to be had every day with the 3 Tappers.

The AUD/USD trade I posted 9 hours ago is well over 100 pips in profit already, the AUD/CAD trade is about 45 pips up, I'm in a EUR/USD trade I posted yesterday that had as a pending order, its up 11 pips now.

I'll likely close all trades out in about another 7 hours or so b4 the weekend break.

I think I'm up well over 500 pips this week.
