I've been lurking for the last couple of weeks, keeping up to date with this thread and LOL at Malc and the Mallerinas

I've just discovered the futures charts and I think I've fallen in love. Any comments from the seasoned amongst us on the daily and weekly volume for the futures chart? I've attached a chart below. Normally I see people talk about 1439 minutes as an equivalent of daily on the spot fx but it doesn't seem as clear as below (which I presume means futures are only traded at certain times, not 24 hours).

Good Post. Possibly Candidate for Post of the Week.

EUR/USD continue from last post.

Action in 2nd Box.


D1:
- Price did go up past the 23% around 1.3630. There is still room to go up.
- See potential Long target at a longer timeframe at "SR Daily Zone" around 1.4210.
- See Daily Upcoming Resistance around 1.3800 to 1.3860.


H1:
- The Black Lines for Boxes were previously drawn, just extended only without changing much on the price.
- 2nd Box was in fact around 80pips.
- There was a nice Test low of 1.3545 that is near 2nd Box Low.
- Then next down bar a good NS to enter...

I use a program called Parallels, looks like he is as well. Parallels is a program with windows installed within it, then install TG on that. Kinda like Bootcamp except you can run windows and mac os at the same time without having to boot between them.

It does run pretty well i must admit, i run it full screen which is why it's not apparent from my screen shots that it's on a Mac. Handy little program to have

As KinsaleForex points out, it is Parallels. It uses Coherence which means TG and Esignal run in windows just as if they were Mac applications. I run it on a macbook air with 4gb and it works perfectly

One bit of advice on the macbook air - its portability is obvious, but less obvious is that it can run 2560x1600 external displays. I have it connected now to a Dell 30" screen at that resolution and it works brilliantly, using a wireless keyboard and mouse. Its just like having a desktop (with the screen real estate) but when I want to I can just unplug it and work with a 13.3" laptop that weighs nothing.

I should work for Apple LOL

Much the same as me, except mine is just the standard Alu Macbook hooked up to a 32" Philips using the display port!

Yeah Mac recommend either. I went with Parallels because from what I can remember the VMWare website is an absolute disaster. It's all prettiful with no real direction to it.

as mentioned it was very subtle , and to be honest I could not understand why oil dropped 92 to 85 in such a hurry .... then when i saw the test on daily made sense ... a shake out

commodities will often do a super spike before they crash and burn .... oil has not done this yet

Hey everyone, here's my only trade of the week so far. It's from last night.

A- Sellers, marked the close w blue line
B- 2 bar UT, confirmed
C- Confirmed UT
D- ND (entry)

I risked 8 pips and got 16, with my stop above the UT at C.

Didn't have time to trade this morning as work got in the way, but I'm out of class tonight before Tokyo so I'll see you guys then!

No but if you have any laptop / home computer with Windows that will have come with a Windows disk you can use with up to 5 uses of the Serial No.

Hope that helps.

Nicely done my friend. Be careful when using SO/UTs which are not into new ground tho. They can be very unreliable. I see in your example, the market needed 3 of them before price went down. During these times it would not be unusual for SM to mark up the price beyond the UTs to get rid of any latent demand. Had they done this, they would have had your stop.

If you are going to trade these, put your stop above the highest UT (in your case, the 2nd one).

Thanks for the reminder bro, that's something I've been slacking off on.

That crossed my mind but I really wanted 1:2. It would probably be wise to keep a safer stop and shoot for 1:1, because if you're trading at the right place and time these setups are money.

I'll be keeping these ideas in mind this week, thanks again my man.

I have virtualbox as well, but instead i run MT4 using wine/winbottler on my macbook pro. Much better since you don't actually have a VM running (and therefore don't need a windows install either) and M4 runs like a native Mac app. Only thing is not all windows apps can run in wine - eSignal for example doesn't work for me. Haven't tried TG as i don't own it.
