We are near the storm drain, acres of undeveloped land...Overgrown, wild...Hear the ducks quacking away, the geese honking...THey are happy!
In this weather a duck would be happy....

Cunning little BOT, FTLR....Hadn't checked, but see that it sold E/U a short time after it cashed the Buy, and made enough for another gallon of high test!!! G/J moving a bit. I am short G/J, E/U, and since last night, A/U....All in plus column...We'll see...
BTW,
My FTLR also trading well, just put a pending Buy on the Cable....Of course D1 charts so I have time for a good nap

Mine is, with all this back and forth, doing very well!...Kind of like my favorite tinker toy.....Have it live on 8 pairs, IBFX, at 3 cents a pip. Scoobs on, but unlikely that it will ever be triggered......Have duped 1,2,4,2 recovery into trading 1,2,6,3 series. Using 600 pip SL. My brother's partner, a quant (soit disant) programmer (Will give him a token, $150), will have time to look at it in a few weeks. Want him to 1)Gut BOT of all trend finding stuff, including RSI, 2)Above all, to find out why BreakevenProfitPips are not being rendered, 3)To remove Hedging utilities, 4)Check OnlyTradeCurrencyTwice, and Zeljko filters to see if they are working correctly. I think not, and 5)Replace Scoobs with Forex Kiwi margin filter. Not that Scoobs is bad, FK is just more flexible...You've heard these best laid plans from me before....Why bother might one say? Aren't there more hi-tech BOTs out there???? Well, it's a winner! But really, it's nostalgia...Reminds me of the time when when the group was smaller, and closer knit than it is nowadays....I also like the way it looks on the Charts!!!!!!!!!! I know it will never make me a ton of money...It does better. It makes me happy........

BTW, G/J, still looking weak...creeping back down. If Greece leaves the EU, the effect on the currency mkt could dwarf the kind of effect we saw a couple of times over the past few years with Central Bank interventions, notably those of SNB, and BOJ.

Mornin' whip, G/J chopping around. Still negative bias. FTLR made 2 successful trades overnight. An Aphid in the giant Forex tomato plant...Speaking of tomato plants, sun showed up about 10:30 yesterday, and we already have bright sunshine today...When garden dries out in a day or two, I'll go over it again with the tiller, rake it out, cover it with black plastic and then off to buy my plants.....tomato, and pepper....Zukes, and Cukes I start from seeds....

Have a great weekend

Too damp to till...Not really necessary anyway....Had tilled during warm spell a few weeks back.....Soil soft enough to dig with my hands....Plastic down....Looks like some sun today, just right for planting...... off to buy my plants!!!!!!! Current trades:G/U Short from 1.6086 H4, A/U Short from1.0104 D1, E/U Short from 1.3050 D1, all positive. G/J Short H4 from 128.76 was stopped out at 128.92...Sell stop standing at 128.24. G/J Short D1 from 128.83 chopping around, but still positive. That's where I stand ATM in manual trading......Makin' a few pips....

Morning Pippo,
An inch and a half of rain fell on the seed bed this weekend, so I'm still on hold for the garden tilling.....Seed bed is border-line mud so this may take awhile......
GJ still holding it's head above water and heading in the right direction but it sure isn't normal GJ movement...Patience!!!
Will start the chicken house setup today, need a few supplies so it will probably be this afternoon....

Morning whip, Except for eggplants, which will follow in a couple of weeks, garden is in. Oh, my aching back!!!!!! Closed G/U H4 short at 1.6074...Its PA was turning my stomach. Will not be wasting margin on it any longer. So I think it best to trade G/J H4, G/J D1, A/U D1, A/J D1, and for the time being E/U...Whip, I know you are trading G/J D1, I think it would be good to include A/U, and A/J, and for the time being, E/U D1 (as a perma Short)...G/J H4 Short triggered...

EDIT==== Changes added to D1

What to do? PA has been above Blue up Trend Line for a while, days...Not sure if we should bail now, before we take a loss, or stay in, watchfully waiting. Have thrown on the bird dogs to see what they can sniff out......6,12, and 18 day look back. Still neg. in 12, and 18...I am thinking that when 2/3 have turned against the trade, THEN bail, as had been the approach in the past. The bird dogs get it right more often than not...... Have attached Mary Jane's version of the indy. With hers, no need to have TVI line graph in indy folder......

Closed G/J H4 Short at 128.51 at close of 16:00 candle....Bird dogs told me to, -27 pips...Perhaps relying on them a bit too much......?

G/J D1 candle has opened above the Red Down TL. Whip, I think it best to close our D1 shorts now, rather than wait for another bird dog to go on point...IMHO closing now is in keeping with the supply line/demand line dynamic in Demark methodology...EDIT========Really scatterbrained in my last few posts...Inconsistent. Bailing on G/J D1 even as bird dogs steadfastly point south.....!!!!??????? Sometimes trading isn't pretty.

Morning Pippo,
I agree GJ D1 is closed.....AJ hit my pending sell sometime last night so I still have a trade running......
Will do the "bird dog" setup tonight after I finish setting up another chicken house.....At least the rain has stopped

Whip, let's just keep an eye on G/J for now. At this time of the year I think it is a good idea to wait for a 2/3 consensus among our bird dogs to filter entries/exits....At any rate, G/J is clearly rangebound ATM, with little trading volume...p.s. At which price did you enter your A/J Short?
