So did I...sh-t been up there since early Asia...

Took a nice profit, left a runner.

Makes up for the AUDUSD that blew me out of the water on Sunday...

Let's see how she rolls.......


HOLLA
Nice one mate

Morning people. Had a long 400 mile round trip meeting yesterday so was away from the charts, looked like I missed a fairly big bear day on GU by recent standards.

See pips were made while I was away

Good morning, all. Excellent trading turtle and egkid, nice catch!

More big news today, so we could see another change in direction, or more confirmation for the bears. I'm working the next couple of days, so have to keep my trading tight when I can. Don't want to leave anything open to chance.

Big day, haven't made the most of it, I was waiting for a deeper pullback on the m15 to get in, it never came. Oh well, I never got burned either so not complaining.

Good trading people.....

Looks like a close under the 100 day ma on EU.......

Last day of the trading week tomorrow, banks close until Tuesday, except the US. This is one holiday that I don't understand why we (US) don't celebrate.

Welcome back Trotty...

Hey Turtle, how's it going?

Is there no Easter holiday over there then? I'm on the cusp of 4 days off work here and can't wait

Directors, Leffe, PUNK IPA, Waggledance and Abbot's Ale will be my party friends this long weekend

There is a Easter Holiday, mostly for schools. Business and banks don't close for the holidays. Folks either have to take their "own" vacation time off or keep working.

Good Morning all. I hope you've enjoyed the break. I'm back in the saddle trading, trying longs on Euro off this trendline, and taken a few pips so far.

Stopped out, on trendline break but still made a few pips. May look for shorts off upper trendline now unless this current 15min candle closes back in the triangle

Going long here on cable after that last 15min candle failed to close lower. It's countertrend, but looks like bearish momentum is running out . Needs to break the 15min 5 first. SL at 44

Hope everyone enjoyed their break.....

I had a good time, DJ Thursday, Friday, Sunday (spent QT with the family) and Monday.....

Still short with EURUSD from up above, my HTF's still point that way, unless I see a clear close above the 100 day MA.....

I'm so happy for PDF in the beginning so I can move on to the next thread...

Hanging man formation ? Are you serious ?? What the heck...this is not better than a coin flip.

MA in line and move of it,- is a bit better but not really worth a try. (to much fakin', may be with two entries, fools game for me).

Sorry to blame this thread but that's like "sell high, buy low !" or Ross Hook and other stuff...
I'm so tired of this. Thanks anyway !

Hi Jack.

Really sorry about this but I haven't much of a clue what you are trying to say. Reading between the lines, you seem to be suggesting that you don't like this method.

If that's the case, it's obviously up to you but why feel the need to tell us all? I strongly suspect you haven't made any attempt to understand it. I have been studying this for a few years and have only wrapped my head around parts of it. It's probably the most detailed and in-depth trading methodology on the whole forum, most of which is documented in the thread rather than the PDFs. If all you have done is glanced at the PDF and dismissed it, it really is your loss.

Can't see the need to judge a book by it's cover and then tell the world your review of the book after, though.
