have a good week guys. Ramble time, yes we have conspiracies let the gernans develop rockets then take them out. let the japenese do medical research on humans, keep concentration camps open without stopping. This happened a long time ago but it happened. the world may be run by different countries but they are still interlinked because they want to expand. Its life and we trade

[quote=Agro;6379720]Unscheduled news is not instant and traders reactions are not instant. There are many corporations reporting news at different times and many different traders receiving this reporting at different times.


i trade spikes in oil at times and they can shift hundreds of pips over a small time. Look what the chinese do. release information just before a major us one . it happens often. Its all a game and we need to go with it

another ramble, i am not 100% of this but on the battle field if an attack was to be made on a machine gun post example. so one machine gun and three soldiers we would send something like 18 soldiers to take it out knowing we will have casualties, its on a par with trading we lose pips to make pips

You seem like a nice enough guy but I still have no clue how you trade with that mess on your screen.
I totally understand, When I started this Forex, I had no clue how it moved or why it moved. All I focused on was learning the markets every move so I could project the turns and moves, trends and reversals in advance. I am mostly a Momentum trader and can get in at the beginning of larger runs or drops. I have found that certain combined lagging indicators, turn into leading indicators for trends and those 20 to 30 pip drop or jumps. I taught myself to think outside of the box because the other normal way does not work........

Hi alien. I am going to ask you for a favor. Please post a 30 minute chart of EURUSD from last week and mark your entries on your chart. Since you have HA instead of candles would you please also list prices and direction of entries. I would appreciate very much if you would do this. If not I understand.

well said, an indicator is a good referance point almost like a random line placed on a chart and anything that is an average is as much use as a plastic fireguard

this is when I started posting Nov 18th of last year , parts of my system in detail with projections 3 and 8 days out for Daddybear in the aud with cartoons forum, I have not had a bad prediction yet with my system, but it is an art to learn it......I post the projections and then when the projection is over , I re-post the original chart with the new chart, the prediction chart was marked up with PA direction....

Yes we certainly have conspirators over here too the most notable being David Icke who apparently believes the UK Royal Family are lizards from another planet. He's yet to be proved wrong.

I was just wondering if the media were perpetuating that idea over there and how big the 'sovereign citizen' movement is. Yes China invading Taiwan is far more likely but even more likely thing to smash the market would be interruptions/attacks on global oil supply. Anyone remember the tanker plot in Superman 3?

I guess I did not list price and entries on the 30M , because I really micro down to the M1, M5, M15 to get near zero risk entries by watching all the charts move in a systematic fashion........I have 8 screens I watch with this set up for entries......This is how I can project direction into the future......

Yes, they stop at all levels and S/R. I don't know where the levels will be, but when they get there I could record them for the future passes. There are somethings I could live without on the charts, but not all indicators work all the time and I can cross reference them with others to see how accurate they still are. It's like multiple gauges in an aircraft, if one or two go bad during the flight, there is always back up gauges.......

Its ok I just was trying to locate the entry signals in your charts. It seems a lot of your indicators are telling you the same thing. Do you use them all to make an entry decision?

I love your colour choices really nice to look at, but have to say if you squeezed up your candle charts a bit you'd have room for a double cci at the bottom there.

Not all of them but most , like 3 out of 4 and it's a go....It is easier to see 3 indicators going the same direction, then to miss the single indicator that is not working correctly at the time........

I totally understand, the 2 examples below would be what I could trade , less is more.........
The fuller charts give me something to watch and more precision entries.......
