OK - this may not be bad at all. Just saw one of Tom's tweets where he says that he thinks FF maybe (or have) moved his thread to the commercial section but the actual thread hasn't made it there yet.

If anyone finds his thread somewhere else on this site will you please post the location here so all can follow.

Thanks, keep the faith.

interesting area
Took this one yesterday on a 4hr sfp with macd div, took my stop out by a further 10pips then went to the moon!

Argghhh!!! These sfp stops are real tricky

Hi Patrino,
I think that Tom recommended sfp's on the H1 timeframe. On my charts this wasn't a sfp on the H1.

Hi Folks! I'm back! :-)

Thanks for the encouragement!

I think Twee made me a commercial member but didn't move the thread. It's all good now so let's get on with the show.

I'm having fun with Camtasia so will try and get some videos up for you guys on YouTube as it's much easier to explain things than with posts.

Keep up the good work ledges and I will see most of you in the Sunday webinar!

Possible 'incoming' on usdcad? (seen as how Tom seems to like the military analogies).

SFP? Price retraced direct below the high or almost to the high when market closed. Enter the market before opening and hope that price will fall? A litte bit risky I would say. Another option could be that the market does open wit a gap down. But that would not be a good point to go short because gaps are closed oftenly, am I right? Whatīs to do in that situation, any ideas and thoughts appreciated.

hey,
I noticed that it will probably give you better odds if the level has been broken significantly.
I would be a little cautios to short there because
1) you have a rather strong close
2) the break of the previous high is very small

I personally would prefer to wait and see if we can get a RR on the level I marked to join the bulls.

Man, webinar is full - THAT SUCKS!
Tom, why donīt you stream with a service like twitch.tv or a similar streaming service. Unlimited viewers and no fees!
It is possible to save the casts and make them available as VOD. So, if someone would save the webinar today it would not be such a pity that it is full, we could watch it later.


Edit: Is there someone who can restream it or stream it via skype?

Do not worry.
I made into the limited group but I have been "connecting..." for the past 45 mins. It is not the most lucky day for some of us.

I did not want to complain (ok- I looked forward to the webinar and it is a little disapointing...). I only wanted to say that there are easier ways to broadcast where an eye should be kept on.

anyone can answer the qn posted by tom "Look at the current GBP/USD picture and think about what retail might be seeing, where they might be entering and stopping out."

I missed that webinar.

Greatly appreciate.

Get up early or move

Listen guys I pay for Toms trading room and even I didn't get in so quit your whining and leave this thread for trading stuff.

This thread is excellent not only for it's quality content but because for the moment it's kept right on the target, no sideline bollox, no retards and no distractions..... leave your handbags at the door ladies pretty please.

Tom has said from the very first webinar he couldn't and wouldn't record them due to the content. We should be thankful that they are free as he could easily charge a lot of money for them. Im sure we have all paid money in the past for some rubbish content.

Gaps:
Anyone else taking the EU gaps. Last 2 were losers cancelling out the previous 4 winners profits

Stats now totally 13 trades, 9 winners and 4 losers. (Since Sept) My strike rate seems to have dropped off. As usual a very, very small sample size to base the stats on. Yes I know this is a long game

I will keep trading them as per the rules with no modifications.

Hi Tom,

Can you kindly list the 14 pairs of FX you actively trade(or look at), and any other stuff as well.

Thanks very much.
