And 12mins around 13127 but only 2 or 3mins at upper end of range. What does THAT mean?
According to my 15M chart stoch this is likely turning south and I'll have an entry signal around 5pips lower on my 1M chart. Some of you guys might have an entry sign/signal already?

H4 could not get 3095 at the fix, we are back at 26, the bottom is in for the day. (barring any crap news of course, but none is expected and the EU has gone home)

And I won't post statements anymore, get nothing but crap for it.
for what matters, I find them inspiring... Live example of someone who made it...

It's nice to see as I said before it makes the impossible seem possible for us avearge Jo traders but you are going to create controversy with it because it's hard to believe material for those of little faith.
Eh, I dunno, this is my third year of FX trading......I've finally reached profitability, but I think I've seen EVERYTHING along the way. The scale of money really doesn't matter, i've seen the same pattern with people from starting balances from 2k, to 2M....it's the same story. Some will float flat and withdraw with 50-90% of balance remaining, some people will go up 500% or down to 5% left, and blow out multiple accounts. That was me personally the first two years, I would half my account, then quadruple it, then go 1/5 my account, and blow out. Took me a while to learn how to adjust the risk management side, and de-leverage, the temptation was great to just keep piling in, but you can't do that..

Then of course, seen a few pro traders, who chug out consistently for the last 2 years, 20% average a month (with a few down months of equal magnitude), making many small trades on swings usually, risking 2-5% ...it sucks losing 2M worse than 2k, but you can trade the same way with it.

I think it's good to show perspective, although I think the average case remains, slightly below break even. (Wins - Losses - commissions)

Congrats, well done for sticking with it through the tough times. Isn't perseverance the key to success? In all areas?

So I have a short entry signal on my 15M but not on my 1M, infact 1M looks strong to the upside. So this means.....wait.....no entry for me.

His humour cracks me up. He has a good spirit for trading.

There was also this other trader - his member name was THE FOOL - I wonder what ever happen to him, - he always had a way of bringing humour to the room.

Look at the last hour or so on the 1M chart.

We have price testing and rejecting 1.3126, a level Cloggie has been mentioning all day. Then a consolidation period 5pips below, then a finding of the level 1.3126 where price hovered. Then a spike to 1.3137 then back down then up towards 1.3137 again - but not making it. What is this telling us?

Do we have a lower high here? Yes. And a lower low? Not yet.
