Vlady - Max Doom,

I think you missed my post a few weeks ago. I took some time off after the market kind of pushed my limits in terms of boredom I was lucky not to follow the forum too close and cashed some fortune - in terms of my account with EJ - EU and CJ. Moved some stuff to equities, playing with some blue chips daily. And currently waiting for this shite to find a clear direction and watching you all from a distance

I saw attila, taking some time off too. Bring him back...!!!

Doom Man, still ruling crude and EU as I have...

cool - thought we had scared you off

I have a lot of equities but not day trading them have not done that since the tech bubble popped

Mate, that's really good to hear. A break is always good and helps keep you focused on what matters most.
Look forward to seeing you round the traps again.

Enjoy!

thanks thats very nice of you to say so
ive found over the past 3 years that bigger trade size only needs a few pips
i start of in the morning looking for 20 pips a day
gives me a great life style so that makes me a scalper
Scalping is great and can definitely bring in the doe.
Finding consistency is the key. It's always encouraging to know that others are doing it - I used to find getting 10 pips difficult back in the early days but I've improved slowly... and I've got the big 20 as my daily minimum (as long as market conditions are right).

At the same time, I'm learning other trading styles - just to round out the skills. Scalping though is where I cut my teeth so it's good to see you making calls like that and trading real money... hope you took the 17:15 to 17:50 move!!
A pip is only worth it if you know how much you risked to earn it

You old tart, that bubble popped ages ago, when was it 2001??!!?? Put-call parity still works on some markets, the range here was so tight I figured I could do better within equity options but don't get me wrong, I am addicted to self-torture and check on you guys non-stop.

Keep driving on the left lane mate, you totally deserve it...!

20 pips a day is so easy BUT if your not paying attension then it can be a long day
and cost you a lot of money
im waiting on 3320 to see what it can show me

yes, but prior to that I could buy and sell the same company up to 6 times a day and make great money

the downside was keeping track of all the contract notes for the tax man literally thousands per year (made the postman grumpy), online trading was nowhere near as sophisticated then

He probably already signalled that mate, last year in November as I recall. Some other important news is being expected in the equities market, follow the german elections I would suggest. Rate cut or not, do not let it fool you, so far the pattern is very similar to last year and in general it is hard for me not to think of the possibility of 1.3700s or even higher up untill May...
In Late November he signaled a rate cut possibility as early ( Euro plunged ) , but when the ECB met and voting members voted against it and there was not cut ( Euro rallied back ). This should rule out him speaking on the issue , he won't play cat and mouse in a short time period ! What is left are : the 2016 Greece funding gap , the Cyprus IMF loan and the LTRO " He said before the ecb was pretty much done on the Greek issue , and i doubt he has anything to do with Cypriat issue. That leave the LTRO :

1- If he confirm that Spanish and Italian banks are hesitating to pay back the loans for any reason, the Euro will see a decent plunge that could push it back to 1.30.

2- If he defend the program success and refute the running suspension that the Spanish & Italian. you will get also a decent rally

So, flip a coin

high volume does not mean distribution. Infact over the last few yrs its mostly accumulation
So what, in your view, does distribution mean?

The last 6 months has definitely seen a change in my perception of things. I'm making better calls. Perhaps it's that so called 10,000 hours screen time malarky. I think that's with any skill, really. But the more I spend on it, the more recognition I'm getting of certain patterns, shapes, the way price prints etc.

But I'm still looking for an edge on the lower timeframe entry. And you've hit it on the head - something to measure the strength. Other than 3 EMAs, I'm generally just a candlestick and S/R scalper.

Well... I know what time it is... DINNER! Happy pipping to you and everyone. Catch y'all tomorrow!

wrong, wrong and wrong



concept of trading: something changes hands


one gives, another takes - all they have to do is to agree on price


in this sense: it is meaningless if you call something distribution zones or accumulation zones; you can not accumulate, when there is no one to distribute

English speakers either go "for" lunch or "have" lunch.......................................... eating can be more appropriately used for an act performed to give oral pleaure to a woman

okay. point taken; but, in this case i didn't go "for" or "have" lunch because i had to prepare it first.... and i might add that where women are concerned, a little preparation is always a good idea.

...when comments go in these directions, you know it's a SLOW trading day

and on the subject of trading: my guess is that .uj will be the catalyst for a spike upward: when the BOJ statement is issued (exact time unknown), it will most likely drive .uj and .ej upwards, and they will yank .eu right up with them. so, i see the b/o to the upside.
