I saw you over on the Force thread. Are you still trading that system or only this one? 
The system looks like it can be profitable with few indicators allowing for a fairly clean screen.
I liked your posts over there but have not looked through this one completely.
I am not posting to hi jack, just curious what system is working best for you now!! If you don't like this post, please feel free to delete. Just curious!!
Thank you and Regards,

Hi Cigar
Post here all you want. This thread is for traders helping each other. Plus I can post some stuff I am thinking about for others to evaluate. This is basically my only communication with other traders.
As for which system...I use both. The next post I put here I got my signal from both. It just depends on the market surroundings as to which one I am more comfortable with. When the market is quiet like it was for the first hour of Asian I will look for a lot more confirmation...Trend line breaks etc.
So if that was any help.. Again post all you want. As long as people remain courteous and edifying all it is great.

I missed it and sat in front of my screen in horror watching it. I was waiting for the next pull back trying to get back in short and watched it just go. At the end of that bar, i turned it all off and went to bed cause i was steaming and just wanted that money so bad, I had to walk.
Take care!
I did not catch it.. I have been so busy with work that I have been sticking to only the EU. And that has been when I can catch it.

Hello Rufus,,
this week GDP rilis, for US,,
how your analysis about that,,??
GDP US give a good news or bad news,,
To tell you the truth. I am beginning to thuink that these numbers are 90% BS. 5% hot air.....To make the BS smell. 5% fact... I want a job working for the federal reserve.
Release Date: January 26, 2011
For immediate release
Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in December confirms that the economic recovery is continuing, though at a rate that has been insufficient to bring about a significant improvement in labor market conditions. Growth in household spending picked up late last year, but remains constrained by high unemployment, modest income growth, lower housing wealth, and tight credit. Business spending on equipment and software is rising, while investment in nonresidential structures is still weak. Employers remain reluctant to add to payrolls. The housing sector continues to be depressed. Although commodity prices have risen, longer-term inflation expectations have remained stable, and measures of underlying inflation have been trending downward.
DUH.....
EMPLOYERS RELUCTANT TO ADDD????? Hell I laid them off. I will add when there is wayyyyy to much work for me to do. PLUS this dumb ass state I live in jacked the crap out of workmans comp, unemployment, etc. Then if thats not enough they added to the tax on my SCOTCH. So do I raise my prices?????
To promote a stronger pace of economic recovery and to help ensure that inflation, over time, is at levels consistent with its mandate, the Committee decided today to continue expanding its holdings of securities as announced in November. In particular, the Committee is maintaining its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its securities holdings and intends to purchase $600 billion of longer-term Treasury securities by the end of the second quarter of 2011. The Committee will regularly review the pace of its securities purchases and the overall size of the asset-purchase program in light of incoming information and will adjust the program as needed to best foster maximum employment and price stability.
INFLATION don't let my wife read this...She has been bitching about the [prices going through the roof on all she has to buy..Groceries to gas.
AS for the dumb ass treasuries....They buy them from Goldman Sachs...And do you know where the New York fed dude use to work? GOLDMAN SACHS...And he is the one that does the buying. Why?
The rest of the world buys them from the US Treasury
I guess I have ranted enough. Like I said I want a job as a Fed

Home early today so on my "Real" computer.
EU short on right now. Top of range and broke my 15m trendline. Stochastics showing divergence as well.
So far it is just sitting there laying an egg.
