Indeed Josh. You and Ephisi have given precise or focused areas. I tend to be generalist... but we're all in the same ballpark.... and playing the same game (South Ball) so hopefully encouraged others to "think" in the similar angles.

We're all for independent thinking of course, but for those reading - I can tell you that each of us and a few others like LITEChild arrive at our views from different angles and views of the same principles. That should be encouraging for you!! If you're able to form your own opinion that is in sync with our direction of travel... .go with it! See where it ends up taking you... it could be your Eureka Moment!


BTW... Josh, I know you're into Gold ATM,... u also Long on Dollar?

LOL.... trading with the trend is the first!

I think that we have incorporated "similarity" and TZ into our own styles so we are able to comfortably describe them without necessarily saying we do it in 3 easy steps. I know you have your nice scalping method. Josh has a few techniques and he coached me to discovering a good one on the 15M based on the "unlikely event" scenario.

The underlying fundamentals are that we are using "probability based stuff rather than an indicator telling us to get in or get out (ie. Trigger).

Love trendline breaks.... especially S/R lines.

I'm formulating a new trading goal for Oct. I guess it's the logical inverse of EU and that's to long USD.... not just FX but across a platform.... ETFs, Stocks, Euro-Stocks, etc. Just wondered if anyone was doing this in a more structured way, not just FX.

Yes, definitely worth holding onto these. The cutting of rates is very significant. 1.39 to 1.34 still had room to move and psychologically 1.300 was the mental barrier to thinking that fundamentals could create a "black swan" event.

Now that has been shaken off... all the Monthly targets that weren't even in viewing contention are on everyone's radar. 1.2XXX is in 2009, 2010, 2012... major! And we're getting in at 1.2900+?? That's 900 pips x stake!!!

And let's not forget.... EURUSD is a pair. USD is very bullish.... hence my feelings on previous posts.

I am playing with "DS" , TR/TZ, 3plan, ZZ-BB at the moment ... Thanks a lot to you all (it is a long list if i wrote all your names ) . You all have helped me much, i feel different now in style of trading. My heart does not pump 200x in a minute, i can trade more calm because i know where it will go (approximately, may be still 70-80% and counting ...). Without you all, i can not do that !!! Using all ideas given on the threads, i am trying to find how they can match each other to build a massive great system. Still need time, but i think it is not far. I feel so lucky that i read Eurusdd threads and meet you all ....

Your risk was 8 pips and I think your DD was like 3 pips.. now if you have your SL at BE you will have a free ride to possible a long way down

All the best
