I want to see the current candle on cable close stronger than this or else I'm grabbing the pips and running.

Good trading everyone, been out awhile, was DJing the last 3 nights.

Still long from friday, s/l is below this level.

Practing on demo at the moment, not sure which way the market "really" wants to go.

Cheers, Trotty, but it looks like I bailed too soon, I don't like to give anything back to the markets, but need to work on my exits.

Afternoon/morning Turtle!

Hey, Turtle. Life is great at the moment, especially since I've come back to trading EO's method again- it's given me renewed confidence. It's funny how it didn't work for me the first time back in 2010, but I don't think I was ready then. Some things just take time for some of us to realise, and we need to explore other ideas before fully accepting something

And binning the 1 minute chart has helped a lot- I thought I was being clever pinpointing entries, but you can still do that with the 15min, say entering up the wick of a candle without the 1 min, and I found myself focusing on the 1 min as it had more movement, and missing the bigger picture.

Oh sorry, only 3 weeks, so it's still early days.

I did re-read most of the thread which really helped immerse myself in the style, and really tried to understand the reasoning behind the trades taken. It was hard work, but worth the effort, and the atmosphere in here has always been good, so enjoyable too!

Cool, it is early days but the way that you've done it is almost exactly how I did it and it was only the second time around that things began to cement in my mind. I still do trading days on the sim and then go to that date on the page and see how they traded what i've just "traded". It all helps

That sounds like a good idea. Did you find you were mostly in agreement?
