Aloha Ms Lawgirl...Just out of curiosity - are you still practicing law? What is/was your forte?
For some reason, when I read your first posting, the delivery and candor set the whole tone - kinda like finally finding the lost chord (sorry - the 60's showing through). A whole plethera of loose ends & questions not so much were answered, but now appear in a different light.
This thread (God bless the "almost naked" charting / simplicity) comes as a welcome relief after my own search ($$) for the holy grail, and with all the friendly inter-activeness,...
Glad to have you join us. Yes, I have a very active law practice.

Mr. Cole, I do not believe that this is the correct thread for your posts. I did not respond to your first post becuase it was so wacky, but I am going to request that you not post here. You are trying to lead others to your commercial site and you will not do it here. Especially with nonsense like this.

Jesse Livermore, a trader whom I much admire as a such, has said to never waste time trying to figure out why the market did one thing or the other...just react to it. That is the only thing any trader can do..react to the market by trying to...


I'm with you, LG!

I am still long this pair, but may look to go short for a few pips on the pullback.

I'm thinking price may just cut through that support level and continue down through the channel.

LG - glad you posted this. was looking at the latest consolidation.
a lot of BOs seem to take place around midnight my time. would have liked to place a pending order, but I'm concerned about where price wicks outside of the consolidation and then reverses.

I've seen you post that you had a pending order trigger over night and came out with positive pips, what do you look for when setting your pending orders?

I usually place a pending order about 15 pips above/below what I believe would be the true BO area to try to avoid a false BO. It's really a gamble that pays off sometimes and doesn't other times, like anything I guess. The trickest part to me is the TP, many times I have had it too high, there was a BO that triggered my trade, but a reversal right before my TP. That is the most frustrating thing. Other times the price sores beyond my TP...so TP is hardest to me.

Can a pending trailing stop be set? I never tried that. Not sure how it would work.

Yes, you set a TS on any of your orders. Once you have "placed" your pending limit or stop order, you wil see in your "Trade" tab at the bottom. Right click that order ticket, select Trailing Stp, then set it to whatever value you want using Custom, or pick from the preset values... hope that helps

Out with 105 pips. Price could not make it beyond 8620 resistence level.
