The Mrs. opened her purse this morning and gave out free money while I was not around.

Right at 6400.

Just checking in from sunny Abaco. I haven't found the forex seminar yet but I have taken full advantage of the other 3 F's! I tried to drink the bar dry of rum but the bar won. Fishing has been good and it seems like I have an endless supply of fresh tuna, dolphin and grouper. Made a few micro lot demo trades while I have been here. I hope to go live soon!

Have Fun,

PippiNole

And here's EU.

We have broken the TL, and if we hold above that there is not much resistance heading North and she could go a hell of a lot higher. Here's a monthly.
250 pips straight up and I think she could keep going!

Thank you for this thread.

I made 3 wining trades in the last 18 hours.

I went LONG last night with EUR/USD and took 40 pips profit.

I also went LONG with GBP/USD two times and profit 61 pips.

A total of 101 pips in 18 hours!!

I believe that I'm starting to understand how to trade, or maybe I was lucky.

Please take a look at my GBP/USD trades.

Again, thank you to all of you for sharing.

Nah, not her. I could never get serious about a flat chested woman like that one! What little the pictured woman does have is courtesy of her plastic surgeon. Not for me!
Hi, my name is Barry and you can keep your doctor...

I'm glad you are learning! This method of trading has the highest risk reward ratio out of any I have seen. There are not many trading methods where you can risk a few % of your account based on a 10-15 pip stop, and walk away with 200 pips. In comparison, a trader using a 50 pip SL would have to close for 1000 pips to make the same profit we do from 200 which is doable in a day.

Here's my first trade of the week. All signs point North for the Temptress, but a retrace here could be possible. This trade was a DBHLC rejection from the m15 50's. SL now at BE.

Hopefully you were there this time.

I shorted at COB, I´m already BE+1, but maybe I should close the trade with 10+ pips profit, it seems that the price is hesitating.

What do you think?

Stopped @ BE. Entering the same trade again, another DBHLC same setup.

She may just range out here, but I was hoping for some sort of move.

I like it, but I don't love it. I was waiting for a better price up the wick, as it didn't close below the high of the previous candle. Going short right above the support at 6400 also concerned me. Not sure how this one will play out, I'd hold if I were you.

Thanks for the advice.

I got scared, and closed the trade at the touch of the 10ema with 21 pips profit.

I still have so much to learn.

Please keep posting your charts.

Nice trade! You're beating me. I've been up 15 pips twice on EU and ended up break even both times. Just went long on her, what won't go down must go up!
