PinBar, you are always criticizing me which is a good thing.


I am glad you like it because I am going to criticize you again because you have STILL not deleted the post that pissed Jarroo off.

I don't care what charts you post, I shall not even look at them till you delete that bird image, I imagine others won't also.

Not Sure what he is referring to...is Jaroo referring to that picture of a finger?
How do I delete it?

Yes please family first always. Family , friends, love, health are the most important things we have.

Balance is super important. I am trying to find proper balances everyday as well. Another life long struggle my guess

Trading isn't going anywhere so do things when time permits, there is no race here

Hey Jon

The eur/gbp is a close one for me....
Helps a lot thanx. i must be learning then as i had the same thoughts regarding the eu/gb close.I had decided to look at it as an 8h bar, with the following bar,to take the high close into consideration. in the end decided to wait and see if it closes a D1 pin.
just to clarify one point, the high of that eu/gb pin came inside 2 pips of the RN on my feed. i take it that is not good enough for you? i would also have liked it to have poked through the price. But if it hit it to the pip would it change the situation for you? i.e make it a stronger sign?

cheers

Hey Jon

There are times when it doesn't need to hit the RN, if I believe something like option protection is occurring at a level(which is not what I would deem here) if not then yes I need to see it hit this level.

The little things for me can go a long way I have found

kind and wise words.

I didn't demo in profit yet

But my account is for about 0.5% of our available cash. And believe me, she really needs to see moneyno matter how little

Re family life

My charts are now all set up the way I want them(all stars and other rubbish gone!), with alerts for PA, price closes and TL's approached.

So Now it's a couple of hours in the a.m. when the kids are at school to set up trends and alerts, and a trip up every 4 hours to check on PA and drop in here. Oh, and this is the only room I'm allowed smoke in, so I'm up here alot to feed the habit too.

go for that 8 hour pinbar below 0.9900.
i was watching this also, looks different on my feed. it is also a BEOB 4h on your feed i think? i see a strong reaction to the drop in price though shown by a 1h BUOB staying away from this for now. want to see if it is gonna test parity again??

jon

EDIT: 1h bar didnt close a BUOB.

Glad to hear you have it under control.

That said, you may find that trading with real money becomes something different. I mean, if the market takes away from us, it can be very easy to get into the "I will get that back" thingy.
That is when, things can go wrong, we lose all control and revenge trade the market. Then again, if you demoed with the same amount you are investing and traded the same size lots, like I did, mainly..LoL. May be ok.
As they say, demo as you would live trade and live trade as you would demo. Give yourself a limiter, 2 loses in a row and you are grounded for a day or so. Trade safe!

hey Michael,
dont rush things. this will most likely get u into a big mess.

i & perhaps several others, have been in the same situation, (my personal circumstance is far worse), & it usually doesnt end well.
if u focus on proving something/creating a result, u do things in haste. the focus should be in improving yourself/your trading.

trading is 1 of those things wherein u cannot force to produce a desired result, no matter how badly u want it, without acquiring the proper knowledge &/or 'going through the natural process'.
there are no shortcuts to trading success ---'crawl before u walk, run....'

'slow is fast'
'slowly but surely'
'haste makes waste'

& remember, there will always be whiners/naysayers around u. sometimes the best antagonists are family members/loved ones.
it's either u succumb to their disbelief or you prove them wrong & make your family life/lifestyle improve

hope that helps a bit

Hey guys (and gals),
Here was another trade I took last night but was very cautious with, obvious trouble area at the .9500 where I took half off and changed the stop to close to BE. Enjoy your weekend everyone
