Decent countertrade materialising here on EU, overnight 3549 is holding, we are itching to visit my last week's target of 3597 again here.

Technically a revisit of 3597 with some decent rumours can take us back to 3670.

The plan took 4 hours to materialise, but materilise it did, that's the only thing that matters.

I dont use them for live trading, but when Im on my mac i use them...I like them a lot....mainly the trendlines adjust correctly no matter the view, unlike my FXCM platform....so I use the TOS for accuracy and I can look at equities / bonds....a much better system....Ive often thought about draining my FXCM acct and going back to TD.

I am going to let 3670 play out first, that was my original plan and I am sticking with it. Have not really looked beyond it to be honest, 3670 has given me plenty of pips on this counter day, not complaining.


Going to have a lunch break, I will have a look afterwards.

Yes ok, thanks.

I am also on a mac, or I have both.... But I enjoy being on the mac. However, there isnt too many charting opportunities for us unless you use crossover that is... But then, why trade with a mac??

I dont like MT4 in general either so stuck with Java in most cases...

I have tried to get into MT4 a couple times....I just couldnt get into it...I think the interface of FXCM's trade station is superior to all of them....except the goofy trendline issue when u zoom views....the next best is TOS....problem with TOS is that I havent placed a live 4x trade so not sure how that feels...plus i had TOS b4 TD Ameritrade allowed 4x.....

if u draw a TL on a higher time frame it wont stay in the same location as u switch lower...can be deceiving...also...it doesnt refresh accurately unless u change timeframes.....tricky little bastards

Chart 1 and 2 missed what I was looking for by a few pips, chart 3 reached the target and bounced as expected. I'm not trading this bounce, this isn't endless. If it is, well, then I suck.
