Use an ipad for 5mins and you won't want to put it down, I bought a Andriod 8" tablet ages ago, didn't use it for 5mins, gave it to a girlie I know ( FIT AS ) and 2 weeks on, she used it for 5mins it crashed and trying to get around to using it again LOL
I wouldn't mind an iPad 2 as they're decent and convenient and are much better than andoid ones, but phone wise I've always gone with HTC, I was undecided between an ipad 2 and a new laptop the other week but ended up with the laptop, happy with it and its got 2 long life batterys so its all good.

She must of broke it, you know what women are like!

I notice Dax and DOW looked random today all day like Forex normally looks and Forex looked like DAX and DOW looked like last week, we've jinxed it
Yeah I missed a few good moves with the currencys, again thats the disadvantage of having just the 1 screen, I'm gonna flick through all the charts right before the 5m, 15m 30 and 1hr candles close from now on, gonna catch these moves instead of watching stuff on youtube etc, lol

Huge advantage to my m1 only method wouldn't work with multi time frames really on the phone or iPad.

Do you have other timeframe charts up at the same time as the 1m? I reckon doing this would be a big advantage as you could also know when its in a S/R area, allowing you to make the best entry.

Just M1 is fine less confusing for my old brain i don't trade support and resistance really purely direction from really fast direction to really slow.

Today looks kinda random but just woke up playing with phone till stupid o'clock.

Fair enough markets are pretty flat, may look to short the DOW, its in a pretty decent resistance area.

looking at the daily deals on ebay, theres an ipad 3 16gb with wifi for 369 free delivery, hmm...

Notice how rubbish the DAX and DOW are trading, since we moved over to them, 2 months of back checking and wasn't 2 flat days in a row

Yesterday wasn't too bad but still flat in comparison to other days, netted pips on the dow though, its rather flat today, I guess everyone is waiting for Bernanke at 3

But its typical!!

I'm down for the day upto now, shorted the dow before and it hit my stop by 1 pip then reversed 130+ pips for that downmove, not good! I didnt look at the chart enough, I missed a key resistance level which was where my stop was placed, would of made a fortune aswell. Bleh.

Yeah thats been withdrawn to the bank and then some! Up for the month, today is the first down day in a while, feels quite strange, its through lazyness by not looking at the chart enough and a little bit of bad luck

My chart was reading, it would likely go up as had a MA offering support, then ofcourse the news hit then all bets are off when that happens.

Brush it off, it happens.

Loads of Red GU news at 9:30am tomorrow be warned.

I have all tomorrow to trade, must get motivated and not lie in bed to 1pm area LOL
