Note the chart formation that repeats. On down trend the "head" is on-top and in up-trends it is on the bottom. Note the one that just formed today.
Definitely worth watching.

Man this place turns into a ghost town when a few certain people leave.

Ah well...so be it.
and at peak hours there's a 100 lurkers down below - desperately copying anything that they could rehash into a trading signal on their 2-bitty shitty website

Man...what a ride on equities!

ADR was already filled at the lows...then WHAM! All the way back and gloriously green on the day!

Wish Gold did that. Would have been $40 down and about $60 up from there!

I will. He may be too "kind" to give it to me, though. Will give it a shot.

Stay tuned!

is that an indicator that tracks your entry and exits???

that looks extremely useful, do you mind sharing it??

thanks Ken
Be hopeful in a winning position, and fearful in a losing position.

Just left click (and hold) on a closed trade in your Account History, then drag it onto your chart. It will appear automatically. Handy feature in MT4 (about the only one I can think of, actually! ).

If you hold Shift + Left Click and drag a trade to the chart, it will do the entire history for that pair. (<--can be a little glitchy I've found, though.)

I just drag them out immediately after I close. Constant trade diary.

Only other thing to mention. I often leave my terminals open for weeks and weeks. If MT4, or your computer crashes, you will lose them all. In that case, I use the Shift method above, but it plots some strange ones. As soon as you close your terminal normally, they are locked and will reappear if you crash. Just any added since you last closed would be lost in a crash situation.

One other thing is:

If you drag an EU trade onto an AU chart (for example), the AU chart will change to an EU one. Don't panic...just drag an AU trade onto the new EU one and it will switch back to AU. I think TL's and all will still be there, too. I think!

Best to avoid that, though, in case you do have a bunch of analysis done and its wiped out.

I like to constantly be reviewing trades I've made. Repeat the sexy looking ones, and steer clear of the nasties.

Helps looking back and comparing what you did in similar situations/formations. Well...does for me, anyway.

"They" say traders should keep diaries. I used to, but am FAR too lazy now. Plotting my trades, and notes from posts I make here at the time, is as close as I get these days.

^ Diary DID serve a purpose in my earlier years, though.
