Yeah, so far, so good. LOL. Loving it. It took a little while this week to get going though.
Honestly, I thought it was going to be a week of prices retracing up to the D1 timeframe.
Boy, was I wrong.
Yesterday, I had my alarms set for prices, if they broke short. I was not expecting them to go off. Then BOOM!! They all went off within 15 min of each other, it seemed like, and the market said "WAKE UP!!".
I complied and have been banking pips ever since.
The trouble in Europe is just scaring the living shit out of people....
any sugesstions for my system? i see u are pretty good? how can we avoid the periods when price is doing what i said in the previous post?

what can we do ? Nothing. Just wait. Price has to move for us to make money. Just set your entries, and if price doesn't trigger your etry, oh well.

The market is never wrong. And, you will run out of moey,before you can prove the market is wrong.
If your really aggressive and " gung-ho" , you coud trade the retraces as well, but ike I've said in previous posts, for me, that's a little too aggresive.But absolutely a viable trading strategy.
Honestly though, for me, I just wait until I see a BPC in the direction of the MAIN trend, then jump in. No hassle, no emotion, it works over 85% of the time. CLICK !! (on the mouse), and I'm in, as you can see.
It's boring really, but that's when, I hear, you are beginning to become an ELITE trader. The "game" "SLOWS DOWN", so to speak. It's not "scary" anymore. I now know that when I trade, I'm making money. I used to be happy when a trade went right. Now, they almost all go right, and so, I find myself getting angry at the few that go wrong, the good trads, are just expectd now. It's a great feeling.
Anyways, sorry, I guess I'mspilling my thoughts here,but it'strue. That's the mental transformation that has occured for me. I guess reptition buildscomfort,or something.

Anyways...Just wait, or get aggressive. It's your money man.

3SMAs, that's the key.
As you can see from my posts I'm using the 3SMAs for trends and trading accordingly. I put a few D1 charts up a few posts before this, showing the progress over the last 4 weeks.
Keep watching the Hector videos. Over and over. THEN, apply the FIB Expansions to your charts. Then watch the pips roll in...LOL!!!

BTW....How's it going so far?

I placed my first live trade yesterday, did not got triggered yet. Used the Fib Expansion as a TP targets, so I will see what the trade will do

The videos on youtube were his live trades he used to post a few years ago. But the training vidoes are at the URL I gave before. http://www.learnforexlive.com/index-...0013O&apflag=1&

The youtube vids, aren't the training vids.

I was forced to watch Rafael Nadal thrash some dude at the French open. It's too early in the tournament to watch. Although Venus and Serena were both knocked out. Anyways......I guess everyone was just waiting for the US numbers before making their moves. Tomorrow should be interesting for US news as well.

I'll keep you posted, but I'm just trading those same pairs short again..nothing new.

Nicely done shomari...nicely done.

I noticed that you posted CAD/CHF...do you get skittish with regards to CHF coupled pairs/crosses when EUR/CHF approaches certain levels that may signals SWISSY intervention?

You watch tennis? any favourites so far?

Yes, VERY SKITTISH. I would say the feeling is more akin to PARANOIA really. Last year I got hit not once, but TWICE, with BOJ intervention, and once with swissy. There had been rumors, but it was still up in the air, then WHAM !! BOJ ROCKED ME ALL TO HELL !!! SWISSY TOO !!! It might have even been on the same night. It was definately the same week though. Now I hear their gonna do it again because alot of people in Greek, Italy, and Spain are taking their money out of their local banks and depositing in Switzerland, so they might do it to stop the capital inflows that are messing uptheir export markets. So, actually I'm just watching CAD/CHF, I'm not trading it though.
Djokovic is my pick on the mens side, but my heart if still with Federer. Ladies......hmmm...really don't know. With both the Williams sisters gone it so wide open now. I like Azarenka and possibly Sharapova.

Do you follow tennis ? Any faves ?

The PO on the trades did not trigger yet, both setups are on the Daily charts (GBPAUD & GBPNZD), so I have to be patient, if the fib expansions work, there will be a lot of pips :-), will also test the fib exp. levels in forex tester, but I am confident they work out just they way the did on my demo trades.
I am watching the USD and JPY trades, but I'm not in those pairs (just lost my licence here ;-) )

GBP/NZD is one of the best. It gives out soooooo many pips.
You definately keep the trading license !! LOL.

Hope it works out.
