Throw GoMarkets in there and I believe you should be set.

Wow... awsome captain. Great work. Thats lots of learning here for me- first learning is that i can be done
It can be done.. The hardest part for me is being around when the moves happen. But don't let me fool you into assuming I'm a pro- I just don't post the losing trades!!

That shows that the file was not downloaded completely. Maybe the connection broke halfway. Delete what you have downloaded and download again and try. Hope that helps

This what EO used to say about this trade. GU 1H Today. Forgot to add but it's obvious that you cover your long and go "automatically" short near next high

There was another of these trades the next day, making for three solid crosses and reverses on the H1 in two days.

I do have a question about these trades on the H1 chart. In the example you have, I would expect EO would have taken a bounce trade at the 62. That's one of the few times where he says that he takes the trade at the touch instead of waiting for the close of bar. Now, if the stop got hit on the 62 bounce, I could see how the close of bar might be a re-entry. But if you were still in the 62 bounce trade, how do you play the close of this bar -- by adding on? And if you see one of these coming up, are you supposed to take the 62 bounce, or wait and see if you can get a better entry with a cross and reverse, taking the chance that the market will take off without you?

Welcome buddy. Lets revive this wonderful thread and hopefully get old timers back here.

After getting hurt many time i have stopped taking ANY trade without PA.Mostly, I watch lower time frames for confirmation these days before taking these trades. Notice that Harami pattern there? that was my trigger.

Am sure with experience thing will improve but Touches have not been kind to me yet. But with PA it becomes very potent.

The other day, your cross and reverse dead ended on the 62. That's a touch. These may be touches, but they are touches of what? It's more like blind faith. On almost everything else, EO says to wait for the end of the bar, and sometimes even more than that. But these he says to trade automatically.

If, by reviving some posting here, we could also lure back some of the old timers, I'd be all in favor. As it is, I'm slowly slogging through the thread, trying to figure out what they were talking about when they weren't posting charts, etc... It's very slow going, but I picked up about 4 cool tips today in just 10 pages. It's great, great stuff and perfectly complimentary to the dance/choros.

Ease up, bro. EO just finished his worldwide tour of financially bailing out countries with sick economies. If he hadn't done that, the recovery would have been years away!
