Just stopped by to say farewell FF, time for me to be moving on. Thanks to all those who provided me with insight, ideas,and the good lauhgs(you know who you are). I wish you all the best in your endevours. Good Luck PTL.
Man, I am sorry to hear that. Can't say I didn't see it coming from comments before your trip, and there's nothing like a little time away from the keyboard to break a habit.

Fact is, I came back last night to check the mood and tone of the thread, but mainly to see if you, Hatch, and a couple of others in particular, were still around. The mood's not good, you definitely aren't, they evidently aren't, and that's all a shame.

Any case, best of luck.

P.S. I'm getting creamed in that W/C spread, but still holding on by my teeth.

Thanks ....and I wouldnt change it, if u ask me. LOL.
T@rantula, you really make a big difference on this thread. You provide very good market overview and reasoning for your trades. Would be great if you had a dedicated thread.

I also like your motto "Reaction not prediction". I realized that I lost most of the time when I tried to predict the market direction.

a big thanks from me.
cheers

PTL... sorry to hear you are taking off... this place can be a little over the top at times. No question about it... but I do truly value the friendships I have made here and I wish you the best of luck. I hope to still see you pop in from time to time.

Indeed it is, the problem being with lots of beginner traders is the dont have the ability or the mindset to see that. The sooner you realise as a trader how trading sometimes effects you as not only the trader but the person, to control the pyschological aspects of it all the better of they become. I went thru that battle the hard way, but came out the other side much better off and much better prepared for the market
all too true. Here I am almost two years into this crazy world of fx and I'm reminded almost on a daily basis just how new I still am. This market will definetly humble you within a matter of seconds. It's wierd how before I could trade fibre and cable pretty much the same way,but know fibre is killing me. I've had to move my sl up from 40 to 25 because it moves SO fast that if it gets me down around 20 it almost always goes to 40.Cable still is my bread and butter,but the fibre and dragon always bite me.I wish I could figure out how the fibre usually moves throughout the day like I have with cable,but owell.
As I've been 100% technical trading with my charts, the last six weeks have thrown me completely off my game.
As for today, both my longs have been taken out,so I'm waiting to see if the 200ma is crossed and confirmed for the move back up on the 5Min tf.

side note: look at the 1H or 4H charts of the eur/jpy and aud/jpy and if you weren't in those like me, try not to think "if only" and tell yourself there's always another trade around the corner.

closed my longs, the euro appears to be taking a breather. i still expect bullish momentum

due to interest rate hike on the 7th
and continued dollar weakness ( ill be watchful the fed started rumbling on interest rates, if the usd strengthens this pair will come down)

where'd you get your intel on the fed's hiking interest rates? do you mean the trichet? bernanke hasn't decided to hike their rates since 2008 when it came down to near zero

On the other hand, you have folks like Cloggie, Magix, Taranuntla and manic like Redsword who went truly mental this weekend and last week too. There is a common theme here among these posters. They seek constant attention and if they don't get it they will write self-congratulatory posts quoting themselves, usually out of context in an disingenuous attempt to appear better than they really are. If you look at the posts of these people 9 times out of 10 they are quoting themselves.
Since you decided to single a few of us out here, lemme address this in hopes that you may come to understand.

I cannot speak for the others, but will agree that there does seem to be a common theme with these few traders, myself included...

Some of us spend a copious amount of time discussing support and resistance ranges, posting the live charts and trades as we take them. Some of us have even gone so far as to openning seperate threads to discuss trade strategies complete with charts and TA.

I have spent a great deal of time personally working with and coaching others to some succes in markets if not just openning the doors to new ideas.

I am a self taught trader, no formal education. I haven't always been successful at this game, seeing both the highs and lows as well as being margined out several times before getting to my current place of consistent gains. No, I am not looking for a pat on the back, just want to say, that when it comes to recognizing bad trade strategies and piss poor MM, I am pretty good...been there, done that...

So, when I observe bullshit calls based on guesses, and other behaviours that I recognize as account killers, I try tio step in. I really don't care if I am commenting on a person new to the factory or somebody that is heavily vouched...dogshit trading is dogshit trading.


Now if the worst that can be said is that somebody might get hurt feelings because of this, well, so be it...

If when I throw down a chart and it causes others to pause and think about their next trade rather than firing blindly into market, it should be viewed as a positive thing...

You have been round for about 6 months, have shown 17 charts and nothing for the last couple of weeks. Everytime I seem to notice you adding something to the forum, it seems that you are pissing and moaning about what others are doing...

If this is your way of adding to this community, I am glad their are a few more guys like myself to try and not only show others that they can win at this game, but will also lead them down the paths of profit...

You don't have to like what or how I say it, but you should take some time to try and understand it. If not, hit the iggy button and quit your bitching...

Hi Ramses,<

I am eying that area too, but am not sure if we go that deep anymore, since we have corrected a lot today on the time-side.

First target now I see 4175, then I make my decision....

I hate this slow motion today :-)
