what a nice entry this would have been ... but outside my trading hours ...
trading just one pair requires a lot of patience, I've just had two trades this month so far.

Well, someone once on this forum said: It is better to miss a good trade, then be in a bad one.
There will be plenty on opportunity in the days to come.

Same thing to me ashes... I just got 2 trades this month, 1 were a losing trade and the other one is a winning trade made me end up in BE this month. I also missed EU. Not really missed actually as I watched TC being formed in my platform which is GMT+1, but the problem is SL is already huge almost 100 pips, so I gave it a miss. I see that GMT+2 platform that you're using (FxPro) gave a nice TC pattern. Sometimes I just think, that wouldn't be nice if we can open 2 platforms with different GMT setting so that we don't miss the chance. Question is: Wonder if this will make things seems to be complicated? What do you think, guys?

It will be complicated for sure. Just use 1 platform & stick with the trading method is the best.

Hi, could you share with me the 2 trades you made this month. date, time, price, entry and exits? Since Hammerhead and you did 2 trades, I guess you style should be very close to how Philip is using it? I tend to overtrade with the 4hrMACD system...with just EURUSD..

definitely a way of capital preservation

I have been using multiple platforms, three of them, and it went well. Instead of checking the charts every four hours, I had to check them almost every hour. But I can't say that although having more trades I had been more profitable. Bottom line to me is, keeping peace of mind and trading off one platform. I have found gmt+2 works best for me.

Hello eveyone,

First post here. Seems to be a great thread. Thanks to eveyone contributing.
Just a quick question. The reading list at first page. Should it be followed with that order or is there any other more efficient way to do the reading?

I would read the 13 lessons first, then when you've gotten that down, skim through the rest, and read the first 100 pages of the thread.

Here is the trade I took yesterday and closed today. It did not reach my tp, but I was watching price action around the purple fib and closed and closed around 3506. The purple fib is from the huge move down we had last year from Nov '09 to May '10. My entry was a retest of the break out level and it was a tc as indicated the arrows. Ashes, I did not see it as you did, but thanks for the congrats. IMO it was above the resistance.

Looking for a possible trade in the future, a head and shoulder pattern. I will wait and see if tomorrows daily action produce a bearish candle forming a evening star pattern at the 38% fib level in yellow( 50% in purple). If that is formed I will look for a some sort of consolidation or a TC pattern to go short.

Looks like EurUsd is going to test the Ressistance line it pasted earlier.

It now becomes support. Like Phillip said in his weekly review, this is the same as he anticipated. The probablity for TC upside move from this area is quite high from now onward.
