I have to leave the house so closed the rest down at BE + a bit..I am still liking the PA though. Retrace after daily pivot was hit. Now seems to be dropping again. We will soon see.

Well it looks like I did not miss a thing.

I am sure looking forward to having the time to start looking at more curriency pairs. One of the problems I am dealing with is my laptop at work sometimes has a slow connection and switching from pair to pair is a little slow for my comfort. Maybe on the next job I will get better sevice.

I noticed that today the AU played right into my wheel house for 40+ pips.

I will be catching them soon.

Posted here cause it's not force stuff:

I can't wait for this to stop this whipping and start to give some more impulsive moves. I don't think it will be long till it starts to go down south again. It's almost like the market is just waiting for either the euro to come out with something bad or the dollar to come out with something surprising to make the move. I really hoped that during the state of the union something would have been said to change the market fundamentally.

When I look across the markets it seems like both the GU and UCHF need to have about a 100 pips move to get to a technical point of reversal. I would like to see all the dollar pairs start to do a reversal at the same point to show a fundamental change in perception. then I want to try and get into some longer term trades using the building a equity millipede style of stacks.

Just one of my thoughts if i can see that happening I would be ready to go.

I agree

The hardest thing for me is to not get hung up in the whip. It is so tempting to just start randomly grabbing tops and bottoms without to much regard. Then get frustrated with it and loose the traders frame of mind. Once this frame of mind is lost I might as well go to the bathroom and start flushing pips. I am officially trading with the masses who are on the wrong side. When that vortex of confusion starts is when an account gets erased. I erased one small account 3 years ago doing this. It was a good lesson. I still see it try to rear its ugly head once in a while.

So I have had to develop some little quirks to keep me out of that situation. It has been working well. Gives new meaning to trading safe. I guess we need to develop a traders condom.


Practice safe trading

Working in this house alone and looking out the window at all the water gets me to thinking.

Trade Like a Duck

Those little buggers swim around all day not caring if it is raining or sunny. Occasionally they will dive down for some food. If they miss they just dive again. They don't care how rough the water is, they just swim. But if the water gets to rough they go somewhere safe.

How about a trader.

What do we do if the market is beating us to a pulp....Think like a duck and go somewhere safe. If we dive and miss our pips....Think like a duck and wait for the next. So the next time I get agitated about the market or market conditions I am going to think like a duck.

After all these years of study and hard work I am back to watching ducks and learning the trader mindset from them.

So in conclusion....Trade Like a Duck

Closed the rest out just under 10 pips. Not liking the PA

Going to have a bit of scotch and call it a night.

Next week I am going to start paying more attention to 2 or 3 other pairs.

Have a good night all

I was playing around online and thought I would see if FJ from the force thread is around doing anything. I found this:

http://forexjedi.com/forex-systems/5...rading-system/

I looked at the page for a few minutes and it sounds like him during the live sessions too. Wonder if he is back here as someone else now a days.

Good Rufus,,

existing properties similar duck with the nature of traders, namely the duck pleased to move or walk together, if the ducks walking together, he will be more safe and more quiet,,

he will be confused when walking alone,

we are only a small trader who does not have the ability to move the price, and we'll survive if we like a duck,
only an analysis, and I'm always wrong, don't follow me,
