Why using such prehistorical (and complicated) methods for taking a screen capture , when there is "snipping tool" (if you are on windows 7 , of course)

snag it by camtasia is a great software. I use both the screen shot and video capture software from camtasia. It does cost money, but some may find the ease of use worth it over the traditional print screen tools.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend

hi vyky,
please be aware that we need these bars at a certain location.
a dbhlc has to be in a major downtrend at a swing high.

eur/usd is in a downtrend and near a ppz. please be carefull.
Thanks aserbfx for pointing that DBHLC is not @ swing high. I was so focussed on the break of the support line @ 1.2885 ~ 1.2873, that I totally missed that this is not a swing High location.

I'm new to the Forum and just wanted to say hello. I've been demo trading and reading this forum for several months now and things are going well. I'm hoping to get involved in the discussion and chart posting for a while before I start to risk real money. You guys have already taught me a tremendous amount of useful info and I wanted to say thanks. I am blown away by the time and effort that James, Jarroo, Mike and others put into sharing their expertise with the group. I look forward to learning more and with hard work and a bit of luck, taking a little profit in 2012.

It really comes down to personal preference, but I do not trade this late in the day on Friday. Size of the bar is nice, but i would not personally classify this as an A+ trade. This is just me though. I think the bar itself is nicely formed. I wish that there was a stronger retest of the .9500 area (as in it actually tested through the .95 BRN). I am by no means telling you what to do, but this would not be something that I would hold over the weekend. As spreads widen it can be a bit of a harrowing experience. Esp as your stop does not full encompass...
Thanks Ryan, much appreciate the advice. As Friday night (my time) dragged on I did move the stop to under the bar but didnt factor in trading on a Friday, nor a stronger retest of the .95 BRN. I don't understand the theory of that? I thought if we had enough orders built up around the .95 that would be good enough?

Anyway much appreciate the advice and apologies for the delayed response, been out in the desert most of the weekend. Wicked.

Great programs for sure. If you need or want a free alternative, Jing is within the same corporate family as Camtasia and provides screen capture in photo or video form.

You have the option to upgrade to Pro version for a cost and additional features.

I've enjoyed the program for over 6 months with no issues.

Here is their website.

i really like oil chart..
looking @ the chart..looks like oil price may move up sooner or later..
i wuld look for buy opportunities above 103.35(S-R level to the pip).
some arrows on chart.

PS: a positive NFP and the rising tensions in Iran would only cause oil prices to move up.shuld be interesting!

Hey there GF72. Good to see you posting. I am usually in and out here, but just wanted to say welcome. I am sure that Mike will already have a reply on the next page. He is like a trading/posting machine... If you have any questions these guys all love to help with answering them. We all look forward to seeing more of you.

Happy to help. I am one of the followers of Mike's further development of J16. I can only voice my interpretation of his ideas, but I have found through testing that I 100% agree with his ideas. The idea that a retest is really only a retest if it touches it. The other part of it is that the further the retest occurs into the PPZ/BRN the stronger the resistance that is being found there. This really comes in handy when you are looking to place your SL as you know the retest was strong and allows for the placement in a strong area.

On the bar that you put up it might be considered a retest, but it certainly is not an A+ retest. Notice that you are already wondering if the area is strong enough as evidenced by your movement of the SL. I also want to point out that movement of the SL blows up your MM (money management) strategy. Depending on your faith in the trade, you likely have just thrown extra (good) money at a (losing faith) trade.

Think about it like this. Would you have prefered this:
