Congratulations, every good trader in here made the call for a huge drop, including me if you read my posts ive been calling this drop with charts for a long time.

The only difference is that i don't miraculously post shit like "SL at BE hit but i reentered at the top" "I took profit and waited this one out and reentered later on" etc etc

That was my point you fanboy, if you don't understand what im talking about and if you don't realise and understand the gravity of my statements then you probably shouldn't post at all. If you need somebody...
I don't get it. Gator posts losses. He also scales in and out of trades. I don't understand the animosity. Either you prefer not to scale in and out (which is fine, and your preference), or you don't understand the process. Taking partial profit and moving to be means you will pass on some profit and have remainder trades stopped out. But it also means a smoother equity curve. Good luck.

I've noticed that there are a few here that can really mark nice S&R levels. And then make reasonable predictions based on that. I've seen both diagonal and horizontal lines.

Whats the best way to find the most important levels for EU?

Horizontal? Diagonal? Both? Mark M,D,W, 4H?

I ask because it seems this is whats really holding me back. I do some decent trades, then end up getting in at a bottom or top against a strong level that I did not see until after I was in.

I'm working on scalping or to hold on to a good position that happens to run. So, it's important for me to know the median trend and if theres room in and if I'm running up against hard support. I already have round number and pivots on my charts and those help a lot. Like I said what I think I'm missing is a bigger picture that can help to keep me out of entering against important levels.

You are kidding me right? The same gator that has magical Break even stop losses appear all over the place? The same gator that was probably stopped 30 times in the past 3 weeks?

Almost all the good traders have left this place already, you can only hope for Cloggie to return but its unlikely since the absurd amount of borderline mentally handicapped people in here will immediately strive to drive the good traders away.

If i were you id pay less attention to gator and more attention to people like Pipchick who draw excellent charts with solid...
if i were you... i'd rather be me.

not getting enough attention? it rare for me to post a sl. so they dont magically appear. .. thats a individual traders responsibility. i seldom risk more then 1%. that's usually my sl ..im not a call service..as you appear to be selling.. if you cant get others to look at your blog. that's on you.

FF traders = everyone trying hard to get the trading EGO in the interactive threat

" i told you so "
posts of good calls -- always REPOST EVERYTIME

It's unfortunate that egos get in the way at times here. I posted my trades for today (I usually don't post trades) and bagged +60 pips. In spite of that, my capital has declined by 1% for the week. I'm overall positive for the year, but I have plenty of bad trades.

I think part of the problem is that everyone needs to find a trading style that fits them. Some use massive leverage; others use very little. Some use short TFs; others use extremely long TFs. Some use tight stops; others have very wide stops. This is not a one-size-fits-all-world and unless you have most of the same attributes/style of another trader, you're not going to be able to trade in the same way as them.

As long as a trader can explain the specifics of their thinking, I'm happy. I'm a fundamentals trader, but I come here to exploit the posts of technicals traders. Both sides of the equation are important and I recognize that I'm very weak on technicals. I think that much of the success of a trader is based on their personal recognition of their weak areas.

Good luck and positive pips to all.

there are important ones among these as well. this is a double-edged sword, really.
of course, you are right in saying that lots of these repetitions are there to get your shoulder padded. and there's nothing wrong with this.

the other side of this medal is, that esp. intraday you can lose focus pretty fast and i'm always grateful, when a target that was posted a week ago gets confirmed and therefore people get reminded.

it's the bragging and completely destructive attitude some are sporting here, either in order to show off how cool or rich or good they are, and that they just pass by to take a look at the apes in the zoo; or that they completely misunderstand some of the better traders intentions.

either way, the people i care for around here don't really spoonfeed... it would be better put when i say that they grab you by the shoulder and turn you in the right direction again sometimes.

now now, let's stay gentz ok?
First the core of my post was to state that there are too much bad posts that move the good posts to the background and that these good posts come from traders like gator, at least I believe he is a good trader since I can only base my opinion on what I see myself of gator's posts. And imma lookin' and imma likin'.

as for the rest... sure people are calling trades and profits after it happened - "oh i made a killing on this pair last night". but hey... we're all millionaires here didn't you know?

you know what, i was actually thinking of posting my account on myfxbook. and then opening a thread... everyone is free to participate with one condition - that they do the same, that is show their profitable accounts (even if demo) and their trades in public... i bet that's gonna be a loooooonely thread.

I have acquired the skills that I need in technical trading by designing what I need in my charts. I use 1 minute, 5 minute and 15 minute charts since I rarely buy and hold as I used to do.

I use professional chart services to see what everyone else is seeing.

I would be glad to share with you some methods I use in my technical trading since I also do not have the same technical skills as fundamental ones however I am always working on improving my technical trading.

Do you use Parobolic Sar in your charts ? I find this indicator to be very very useful in my trading from the technical side.

Have a nice weekend. I am gone for the rest of the day.

I'm not a fan of demo accounts beyond learning basic mechanical skills. And you learn a lot of bad habits through demo accounts.
No skin in the game. No fear of massive losses. It's like a FPS game ... you can take excessive chances in games - try that in a real world firefight and you'll be a permanent fixture at Arlington Cemetery.

i agree to some degree. it takes a lot more discipline to trade a demo the way you would a live-account. i lack that... that's why my demo banked more pips.

what a day to be short from over 1.33. This was a trader's dream day if you were on the right side of the trend. What a set up to create a bull trap and drive the price down over 200 pips from the high of the day. I did two shorts one from 1.3350 to 1.32.89 then from 1.3312 to 1.3180. have a great weekend everyone.
