Does that answer the question?
I think so. I think you're saying you don't use any ema crosses for strict entry signals for the trend moves per se; any base's action in a pair is cross validated by its action against the other quoted, maybe "by eye" or heuristics rather than strict rule. Is that about right?

The only thing I didn't understand is what CAD had to do with it. Or were you just shifting away from your slides to the current action as you see it?

EDIT: and also, presumably, each quoted likewise cross checked against the two bases.

that's all you need in addition to a windows cd. there is also virtualbox, but Parallels is set up in 5 minutes you don't need to configure much.

no, i don't use bootcamp. look at my dock and where the startmenu of windows is situated
so you are 100% virtual ... I bet windows 7 performance was horrible.

My apologize, at first I thought you were running a normal PC, and then boot-camp {assumed of course}, but if you are just virtual ... then you probably won't even have the processing power to be efficient with the CPU alone.

I hate Mac's for their proprietary means of ... everything ... it sucks.

bootcamp partition ... I think it is a horrible unless you just want windows to run windows ...

If you run any windows on a Mac, you aren't really getting the true value of windows.

I think the biggest flaw in computer technology is that it is 'one size fits all' and unless you spend a lot of time tweaking and fine-tuning it to your needs, you aren't going to get everything out of it that you possibly can.

Mr. Hatch, that explains why you have had problems with Windows 7, you are just running it on your Mac. If you...
that's not true. http://mac.sillydog.org/archives/001182.php
i had windows laptops for years and the current solution is simply the best for me.
btw: a mac with its kind of limited hardware options is the far better environment, but you know that.

i know little about it. but my daughter runs it on mac. she trades also. and many broker platforms aren't mac compatible. she has no problem with windows 7 on her mac. .
if i didn't use it in the virtualized environment, i could dedicate 100% of the hardware to windows 7, so everything would be fine as well. that would definitely work and i think, she is just doing that, or she has 8 gig of ram and a much faster cpu than i have. all options available.

nope, performance was fine. even when i dedicated only one core of cpu to it and 1 gig of ram. macs are superior, don't get fooled.

USDCAD I use as my cross correlated...EU/GU go up, UC comes down...

UC is currently subpar in favor of the Canadian Dollar...not a place the Yanks or Canadians are happy about, not saying that it cannot or will not go lower, just the point that it is a place that I see the weakness diminishing on the UC, which means we could see that one last spike on EU/GU and a market exodus.

EMA crosses on trade pairs...I do...
In effect, watching the 3 staples I trade with, 20, 50, 200...and of course the 1...the 1 allows me to have an EMA cross trigger on 20 for long and short depending on order of the fast to slow...20/50/200...1 signals up...200/50/20, 1 signals down. 1m through H4 on alerts, all 200s being the center of gravity.

Interestingly enough...the Crosses offer great entries and exits when used properly, thus my MACD settings as well as watching for, and I know I will catch shit on this one, but watching a VSA when the 20 crosses the 200.

Check the hourly on EU. 20 crosses above 200, buy spike in, I take the counter on a 1m chart, and exit safe trades when 20x200 to downside..

A hold of price action above the 200 on hourly, or for me will be the long side trend of 20 above 200 on the hourly, once I see price close above the 20, this will trigger my hourly chart..sit back, relax and enjoy the ride....

BUT...

Again, with the cross correlated UC lows, I still believe that with one more spike high, we could see EU crushing down.

A cautionary position made up for with quick triggers and small tp points.

let me back up ...

in my experience {I am not a mac person at all} I have seen problems with windows OS running on Mac, but that was with bootcamp & I know pretty much nothing of programming and hardware integration between Windows os & mac.

I just don't like the fact that you need a 3rd party program to run an OS on an already existing OS.

yes, but a couple points with that

1. I do circuit card repair, some programing, web dev, etc. and I like having options ... but for the average person, it is definitely a better way to go .

2. the 'safe' part of it, as far as hackers & malicious means, IMO the only reason why it is safer is because of it's 'small' community. As of past couple years Mac has taken off, I give it 2-5 more years before Mac is fully exploited just like Windows.

If you want safety, stick with Linux.

All monitored together but all traded separately.

So yes.

As of current, 1m GU showing weakness, 1m EU showing support...EG starting to make its way to try and close above the 200EMA on 1m chart. From there, possible attack on the daily roll, giving Euro the ball. Failure here, EU to possibly close 5m support, before retesting daily high.

So much for simplicity hey?

On strict Tech results, Back-test of performance of Adobe programs {most demanding 'public' programs}, Mac doesn't perform better ... it's just with Windows 7, you HAVE TO de-activate a lot of back-ground apps & programs.

That is what I was talking about earlier with the 'one-size-fits-all' computers, if you buy all your own hardware and build your own PC and tweak it to your means .. it will be the fastest/best that it can be with that hardware.

i don't need linux, mac os is based on unix itself, the same with linux.
and you could investigate, which corporation was acquired by microsoft in order to build an option for virtualization into windows 7 ultimate(!).

according to your 2nd point... possibly, but i don't care. everything is protected again by a linux-server of the size of a mac mini that is sitting on a shelf here

i understand that you should definitely spent a couple of bucks buying a macbook just for joy. i bet you will be sold to it on days 3-5.

Wife is a Mac-Head, I Just don't like it's environment, Spent about $1,800 on your LAPTOP about a year ago and I wasn't impressed for the price we paid ...

2cd point, everything is going to be on a 'cloud' within the next 3-10 years so the individual performance beyond screen resolution won't matter anymore.

No, to get the best performance, you have to tweak Windows ... No matter what you do with a Windows PC, it will 100% run better if you tweak it to your means.

By 'build your own', I don't mean grab a couple parts and put it together, I meant pick your parts based on what you are using it for and build it as in complete customization and tweaking of the program.

as far as 'performance' test in Adobe, for example, Rendering in Premiere or After Effects .. A finally tuned 64-bit windows 7 with 12-18 gigs ram that cost 900-1500 will kill any mac in pure-performance ... Have the rendering results to prove it.
