WTF...didn't even know you were here!

I know you too well!

Oktoberfest: Venice appears...what!

Pretty Young Thing posted: pk appears...

it's like this little alarm that goes off... can't help me self! hehehe...

Oh, I feel like I haven't been taking my trading serious enough as of late... feel as if I have a lot of work to do with it. Starting next week, I am going to adjust my schedule so that I can trade for a few hours before work starts. Asia is just too unpredictable in terms of volatility and I need to start getting a little more focused...

Thinking a schedule somewhere along the lines of waking up around 3-4am est , going to work at 9, get home around 6 pm sleep around 8 or 9 pm, sleep for a bit, rinse and repeater! Weeee...! Looking forward to it! Going to be a rough first week though! hah...

Ew alone isn't a very good tool when trading. If you like it, use it with other tools. Most problematic area with Ew..... is you get in the habit of picking ultimate tops and bottoms. I'm sure you know the danger side to that.
EWT is an interesting science...Ive studied it for some time now....the channels i show in that chart are just that....for me...I like the odds ... WTF...u only live once

I know that alarm!!!

My initial gut instinct, is...why the hell not? Give it a go! 3am for you would be what...an hour into London? Will be a lot more action going on there than the bulk of the Asian. Try it out for a few months, then make up your mind.

The fact that we're rolling into winter will be on your side; will be dark by 4pm soon...why not go to bed early? Quick Sammy or two to speed the Zzzzzz's...perfect!

I'm all in...you got my vote!

I kid, I kid...why the hell not, though? Nothing to lose, mate!

It's hard to tell with the momentum coming off of this sucker... we will definitely see 3524, unless QE3 is announced real soon. We've been completely ignoring demand zones on the daily this week (unless I just read them wrong and they are complete shat... which is very likely), so I just presume free fall until I see something different.

Closed on the lows of the daily, weekly (close on Sunday). But from a technical perspective, I would be really, really surprised if we don't see a decent bounce. Give us another 150-200 pips to the downside, beyond that... well, C'est la vie. But as some have stated here as well, overall bias is starting to become short, and the big boys definitely can't allow that to happen. lol Retailers may actually start making some money shorting this, so a quick run up to knock 'em out, gather some more longs, then back down again.

Absolutely! It's time to take the next step! Let's be real about this too. Swing trading is great, but it can be really brutal when you are wrong. Especially with the way I trade. I require closes under/over certain levels... and on the daily, that could be up to 100 pips or so taking a few days time to settle out. That means that days that I have yet to lock in a position or am building a position... it's open game, and all it takes is that one little fundy over night episode to completely jack everything up.

Yes, London opens at 3:00 am my time, so 3-4 would be good time to start, without making me tooo tired by the time the end of day of work comes around.

Been watching trades a bit too much at work lately too... going to get myself in trouble if I'm not careful

Yep...agreed. Can miss a breakout...but also a fakeout.

That is 4am in the land of V, I believe. Up at 3:30...scratch your arse...sink a coffee...shotgun a Sammy...down to work!

Yep. I've also see momentum candles like this one close, then have an immediate bull bar engulf it as well. You just never know with this psycho markets.

But, we had a BO on the weekly... not sure what I would peg the average % of retest on breakout levels, and fundies will probably keep this from happening, but supposedly price is suppose to retest its breakout points. (hehe)

I'm seeing that as 4072 - 4121. But, could just be a load of hot air. Depends on how hard our fundies want to drive here.

Ill admit being wrong....but the fukkin hair is literally standing up on my neck .... I think a lot of shorts are about to be cooked.... I C 2 realities....a 100-150 pip retrace, then lower to retrace....or we dont look back and 1.55 is on us....I know....I know.....just got that feeling
