currently got an inside bar on h1 and on m15 and so far on h4...kinda the story of the day on eu
Yeah, the Temptress tried to use her gag-ball and strap-on on me today but I put up a good fight.

The only lady who was giving any real pips out today was The Mrs, on a setup I decided not to take

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!
Thank you. Kind words form you, we know that I'm years behind. Even you did not take that SHORT, you told me to hold, if I had paid attention I would be profiting 60+ pips now.

No worries! A win is a win. You still found and executed a winning trade with 0 drawdown!

Hi Ahsanfx, you only have a handful of posts, but I am a big fan of your charts.

If you don't mind, can u share your template with the indicators?

Which MT4 broker do you use?

Most importantly, which EO system do you use to trigger this trade?

Thanks a million.

I use forex.com. I have attached the template and the candle time and spread indicator.

Hello all!

Just an area to keep in mind on EU. This retracement has no great momentum at the moment so i think we should all be expecting another move up as things stand right now.

Good call! Looks like all the action was in London.

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

PS: Hey Cisco Mrs. R knows how to party!
Someday we'll both be able to go live!

My short was nothing more than a text book short. If you don't believe me, go look at your h1 ma's and tell me what you see.

Honestly it was a fairly risky trade. No resistance, just after a huge run up, it printed some bearish m15 candles so I went for it hope for just a 20 pip retrace or so.

I went short almost there too, after the huge run up, I moved my SL to BE+1 when price went down 30 pips, but at the end I was stoped out at BE+1.

It looks that the price is going to fall again shortly.
