pin if I missed your question apologies

Here is a chart of what I would see

May have heard the loudest thunder of my life 2 seconds ago.

Mike
Sorry to butt in guys, just had a quick noob question for Mike or anyone else who knows - how do you get that 'speech bubble' on your IBFX chart? Is it on the IBFX MT4 platform or added later in something else?

I ask because I am constantly frustrated by the character limit of MT4's Text and Text label (unless I'm not seeing a setting which allows longer rants...).

Thanks!

Just save the chart picture to the desktop in MT4 by right clicking the chart and choosing save as picture, active chart (as is), then edit it with paint in windows 7.

Hope this helps.

I have actually asked Mike about this and he said the program that he uses is called Snag. It is by a company called Techsmith. I took a look at it and it interesting. Only issue was that it was about $40.

This is what I do. Paint lets me do most of what I need to do. The only gripe that I have is that I have not found a way to edit the speach once I set it. Not that big a deal, I just have to get it right on the first go round

30 day trail run is available for SnagIt. Try it and if you like it you can think about buying it.

It is a cool tool.. I have it..

I have not used it yet. I guess that I will give it a try to see what tools that it offers beyond speach bubbles

hey psd

You could never butt in

I use a program called snag it. I think it is like 50$ for a license. For me it is useful since I am posting charts a lot.

Hope that helps

I take it you have seen the weekly bullish PB.
yes ,the weekly bullish PB,but this PB meet resistance zone @1.0440. and price did not break the zone.

and for BEOB. i like Steve Nison 's Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques VERY VERY VERY much . i think we do not need to be constraint in fixed patterns . it is more important to observe the power of bull and bear . there is a big shadow body in yesterday's candle ,so i think bearish win . this is what i was thinking .

Nice one, but aiming back to the box what doesn't make me very happy.
Anyway, we could see 1,026 first.
Nice day to all!

A daily consolidation between 1.02 and 1.04 it is very likely.

You've sold exactly at the support and fortunately you managed to exit at BE but that play was very risky imo. This level was very good retrace entry into the weekly PB. Look at those daily highs @ 1.0350 from 09 - 12.

After lurking around this thread since around October 2010, J16 concepts are finally making good sense to me...ok, so I'm a bit slow! Endless hours of studying charts by Mike, Jarroo, and Jim (if I forget him I'm toast - lol) started to pay off. Thank you for what you do!! This is a huge development for me because since I got into trading in a serious way around 2006 I never felt comfortable trading indicators and charts which look like a road kill. So the J16 thread is where I feel at home. S/D & PA rule. So thanks a Million to the esteemed J16 Seniors!

Now to EU, can't recall a direct encounter with such a choppy weekly chart for a while. Knowing this can't go on for ever, and S/R & TL combinations being my favorite locations to look for PA, I anticipate something to blow in either direction soon....I most certainly ain't a Fundie! But is it a coincidence we're coming up to the final 1/4 of the year soon? 1.4 to 1.5 range is clearly the battle zone for buyers & sellers atm. Frankly, I don't have a bias and will wait this one out to see which one wins.

Wish everyone a Superb Weekend!!

Teemo, awesome bud it's very good to hear this for me. Keep at it.

And I am 100% with you on the euro. I don't mess around in this but when we can get out of this range I will be VERY interested

Have a great weekend to my friend

Not letting that trade go against you was a really good decision and most newbies wouldn't do that. Cheers!
