A great, great man, and it wasn't until 2009 that a memorial was finally erected in London in honor of the vital role he played in WW2.

Anyone out there who suffers or has suffered from back ache, I use a kneeling chair, absolutely brill, not a twinge since. Yoga a must as well.
I do get Back Ache every once in a while. But it's more in the upper Back/Neck/Shoulder. I wonder if a Kneeling Chair would help.

i have took precaution , most of the senior trader have back ache, i do have knee chair i don't like it much
Takes a bit of getting used to, but helps keep the back straight - I swear by it. Back strengthening exercises every morning also a must if you have a bad back.

all I can say is that it helped me - back ache stopped me working for a while, now, no problem at all.

Im only 25 but I have back ache already, not unless I stop trading, and sleep, I realize everytime I watch my trade so much I start to have back ache. Too stressful cause back ache, I think. Another reason is that my room is really cold.

I exited my 41 at 56 for a scalp. I was tempted to double up and ride the 2nd lot but wasn't game.
I'm in 2 minds on this... 450 was an early number I had that I dismissed, brought it down to 407 and 421.
If we bounce off 52 and not reach 41, I'll reverse my short and go long - I'm not sure how price action would do that but... it's 50/50 atm.

Currently short on 1M to 15M TF only. 1H and 4H says we're sideways coiling for an up move. This is where I need a better edge. I cant trade ranges for shite...
But if your source says EJ is...
Same here, full time job so just can't do it. I'm lucky in that I'm the only IT guy on site and can pretty much dictate my day, gives me the freedom to trade. But for the moment I'm a breakout trader in the main, hopefully I'll be doing this full time at some point. Then I can get involved with the ranges.

Best to stick to what you know, I've made good progress over the last 3 months by working hard at staying out when market conditions don't suit my method. I still slip up and get involved when I should stay out, but it's getting less frequent. I think the penny is dropping as to why a lot of traders fail, I looked hard at my winning & losing trades. Nearly all my winners we're entered for valid reasons, nearly all my losers we're not.

Don't you have a lot of your weight on your Shin with those Chairs? How is that after more than 8 hours. Anyway I guess I will give it a try. Back Pain sucks.

I'm in IT as well.. Thankfully they let me have 3 screens so I got FF and IG Index on one small monitor on the side!
Would be interested to know your method (PM me?) as I too can't sit and monitor the screens so I'm re-learning to trade 7am to 8:30am before I leave for work... got 26 today and 20 yesterday but then screwed it up between 9:30am and 11am so I'm gonna chuck that session out the window until US open.

Well, i don't sit rigid for 8 straight hours anyway, i spend most of the day dancing around the office to youtube! Seriously, there are many different places you can keep your feet, not just tucked underneath you.

Dollars are feeding my bull, well. 50 + now, sky rocket now? for EUR/GBP and EUR/USD.
Not a time for me to close my trade yet, eur/usd is still -.02%, it must be .34%, today.

Looks like it's either gonna retest 90s. If broken then 407 is where I'll look for shorts.

I agree, was just wondering. Not everyone can walk around in the Office anytime they want to.

Sir Keith Park, the Defender of London, as the Germans called him, was a Kiwi...
The Germans lost because they did not deploy their fighters correctly. Goering forced the Luftwaffe to use them as escorts for bombers when they would have been more effective in the attack role. Britain was desperately short of fighter pilots (but less of Spitfires and Hurricanes).

Another major mistake was the accidental bombing of civilians by the Luftwaffe. The Germans missed their strategic targets and dropped their bombs on civilians instead. Goering decided to continue bombing civilians. Interestingly, Hitler did not order the bombings.

This had four effects. First, it INCREASED morale among the British and hardened their resolve. Second, it diverted bombers away from military targets like airfields and radar installations. Third, American lend lease to Britain was given a boost. Fourth, the British would take revenge with massive bombing raids of civilians in Germany which ironically, were objected to by Americans who wanted bombing raids to focus on factories.

hey ptl long time no see

yes, many people from many countries lost loved ones to war, so dont have much time for war, dont believe much about what I read either,

I spent many years of my youth at rsa, (they had billiard tables and shooting range) and spent many hours with the vets, one thing they never ever talked about was the actual fighting, plenty of cool stories, most funny , my family is full of military history, i am youngest and only male who hasnt served,, , but they also never talk about the fighting part, didnt want to be seen to glorifying war by debating BBritian, just love when an underdog triumps

My grandad survived the japs who invaded Philippines. He scurried through the streets with his kids during fighting and bombing like a line of geese, mum and dad at each end. When he was alive, he never spoke about it. I only heard years later about this story and one where he and his boys hid under the house when the soldiers raided houses looking for the males. But you're right... spoken to other vets, they never talk about the fighting.
