In my opinion, its not that reliable to base your trade jsut on correlation. As much as a guide it is, it is just a guide. If you are trading fundamentals with a 200 pip stop, then you are still fine. You still have about a 100 pip allowance to be proven wrong.

But from a short term technical standpoint you are wrong. If you look at the daily chart, you will notice how price bounced on a support and went staright up. Granted, right now we are seeing some hessitation but it is not enough signal to short. At least not until we see more price movement....
If you look at oil's monthly chart with bollinger bands - you realize that now it's over top bollinger band. It cannot go higher than this month's high even if it bounces on support. It must wait until new month begins. It's just bollinger band rule - 96% inside - 4% outside. For me - even from short term technical standpoint - it's sufficient data. And btw - I don't use stops on my trades. 200 pips was just example that I'm not minus 5 pip stop loss trader. Believe it or not, I didn't close trade in red for long time. My worst closed trades are 0.00.

You are already too late to buy. Buying now is taking a risk because we are at a resistance zone. Although the trend is still upward bias, it is not enough confirmation to buy here.

Wait and see.
Thank you, sir.

If I want to buy, what should be the price and what should be a reasonable TP, Wormboy?
Wait for this candle on the 4H to close, if it closes above 1.4399 then a BUY is advisable(its still risky though), the SL will be 4324 TP: 4519.

Its a risky trade, just telling you what I would do if I wanted to enter. I will not be taking the trade, I have my longs in place since yesterday.

Every trade is yours to open and close.

What? I gotten out of bed during Asia session, which I rarely do, Asia hits a double (hint) and by alarm goes off to join the party, evey correlated market out there is pointing in the same direction, which is rare.

This is an absolute no brainer correlation trade, one we haven't seen since Jan. Please do your research first before spouting nonsense like everyone else on this thread.

I have bought 4 lots at 1.4365 TP 1.4440. Keeping those 4 sell lots as they are. Pl. advise.

I solely believe that if you don't know basic maths you will never succeed... Like me, I am not such a good trader (predicting the market) but I do know risk and how to adjust the 2 variables you actually can adjust (lot sizes and risk/reward).

I would suggest you to read some of the poker articles and don't believe everything you read, it have to make sense for you!!!

Forex Factory will not make you a successful trader, you will.

Alright guys, there's no need to be so personal here. If you're short and make money, i'm glad for you. If it doesn't, i hope you know why.

Cloggie, i suspect a short might not be a bad position on a monthly/yearly chart. heh. let's get a drink *pat*

Here is why I believe it is short. If you have a different opinion and can show with an explanation why I will appreciate it.

I try to make educated decisions. For what its worth I caught the entire first run down from 4500 and the entire move up from the wick of the hammer. I now think it will go down. Input, please.

Larsen, Are you still doing your Set and Forget system? Can you explain here. It seems interesting!

No I am not, but its a good way for those with less time to be looking at the markets though, It was based on MACD and pure backtested results I think.. Made me a good amount ...

I dont think it made money because of the system though (more because of the money management), around 65% winners....

Alright guys, there's no need to be so personal here.

I know I started it here tonight, but that was on the back of the idiot 200 post from talentless earlier today, just getting really fed up with the loudmouths that can't trade trying to drag every noobie down with them.

I get like that every once in a while on this thread. It just boggles the mind why so many fail in this business when there is no need to.

Its good to hear you have a system in place. If you're confident in your system then by all means follow it. I know that 2 people can take directly opposite trades every time and both make money because that is what happened to me and my friend at one point in time.

However, one thing we both had is a very strong sense about when we were wrong. So that we can cut loss quick and enter again another time.

So I will applaud you for having a strategy in place which I belive should have a statistical edge over the market. However I will caution you about your no stop loss rule. You will blow your account one day. The longer you trade, the more likely it will happen. And this comes from experience.

Thank you for your advice, but I will say - different people - different trading methods. For my stop loss is emotional matter. When I was placing stop losses before - I was doing lots and lots of losing trades. Putting a stop loss was for me like confirmation that I'm not 100% sure about my entries. Since I stopped using it it made me more confident and intuitive and profitable so far.
