Like the look of this...a little cluttered but for the MT4 crappy tools and this does it for me...I'll take it. Watch out because it's going to be laying down some patterns as well...should have some fun with it this week.

I would love to follow along with you and talk about trades and charts as you seem like someone I would enjoy doing that with. It is to bad I never see you put any H4, D1 and W1 charts on your thread. Doesn't mean that I don't wish you the best of luck though bud! Happy pipin'

I squeeze them in like 4hr charts though...do look at supp/resis on those higher time frames...just like to reduce my risk on the lower time frame entries. shoot for 50 to 100 pips most of the time w/ 20 pip stops. I've been looking at position trading with one at breakeven holding till daily trendline breaks...

We are getting a real nice looking ascending triangle I have been watching, and it can't keep going forever. Enjoy!

to my analysis...second guessing kills me. I think I was stopped out of my kiwi long by about 5 pips or so...at the bottom, uhh

just took a EU short...playing around with these harmonics on a demo now...I can't believe this program draws forks for me as well...lol.

Pretty strong move off channel support down there...may see a pullback here, but eventually go higher, especially if Greece talks work out...heard they voted to pass.

Yeah, we'll see. If price tells me to go back long than I will do that as well. I don't get to complicaed with how I trade. A few lines and a chart, and I turn the news off. All it does is add confusion to what I should do for a trade.

If it helps clarify a move for someone, than I say use it. It is does'nt add clarity, than dump it. I've played around a bit with forks, and think I can get the same info, just delivered differently from what I am doing, so I haven't pursued them much farther mysef. But, if you know how to use them as they should be used, I will most likely always show up to get your analysis.

Have a good one!

I think that cling some and holding the rest really messes with your MM. Migjht be better just shooting for 20 and adjusting MM to co-ordinate. Your profits would appreciate it if your win rate was high enough and your SL wasn't crazy huge. I never liked scalling out of trades and still don't do it.
