First couple of plates done... eyes and ears are not so interesting in itself so no picture taken but now moving to more complex things. Much more difficult then what I thought at first because mistakes are screaming at you. All measurements are taken from a distance of about 1.5-2 meters or about 6 feet and process is quite tedious. For example, foot drawing was done over 7-8 hours, profiles about 6 hrs etc. basically until it's done.
Staying on a sideline tomorrow due to Fed, no need to risk hard earn money on gambling , although there are some clues for bias but it's only an opinion (not enough to put money on it; but, but it's still to be decided - if the price is right, that is to say). Had some nice little runs (long) on both ES and DAX past few days.​ ES was beautiful today, sweet breakout from consolidation prior to NY open. Have a good one.

Just Beautiful ! Both - charts and paintings!
Thank you for this great journal! Just reread it again. Trying to apply your artistic vision onto S&P charts . Looks like I have long way to go but will keep trying.
Best wishes

Thanks Yofi! Sorry for late reply, sometimes I go into 'hibernation' mode for a while :-) Glad you like it... good luck with your trading as well. Don't get discouraged, time is always on our side. Be persistent and always ask yourself questions... when you stop asking yourself questions there are only 2 outcomes: either you gave up or found the answer :-) Not my intention to pretend on being smart or anything, so don't get me wrong.

Thank you!
I do ask a lot of questions the only problem is I don't know if the answers are right
I believe that if someone want to improve need to practise the right things and practise them regularly
Is this the reason ?

Answer is right when it answers all the questions regarding subject matter :-) However, regarding your chart, it could be one of the reasons (and I'll be honest with you and say that was not what I saw) but then again, magic question: how often this type of thing occur and what are the results? Why certain price at certain time and not somewhere else? :-) (sometimes it's pivot, sometimes breakout, sometimes Seiden's zones, sometimes Fib, sometimes MA etc) hmmmm... Do they matter? if so, what and which matters? Little bit of brain bending! :-) You'll find that simplified answer is not good enough in a long run regarding P&L... Hey, it's Friday and I should keep it light he he... off for a while. Have a good one!

Oh boy, it has been a while :-).... Nevertheless, had some good and some bad trades in mean time, so business as usual (thank God, more of the first ones)... Have a position on this one (and few other similar ones) but waiting for Fed to speak in mean time he he... So, decided to say 'hello' instead of picking charcoal for my little hobby... Have no idea when I'll be back, so hang in there and best of luck!

It has been a while now :-), more then year and a half from last post - wow, time is flying. Hope that business is well also! I (kind of) moved to a larger time frames but here and there place some trades on smaller ones as well (mostly in commodities and indices, very few fx trades). Here I have few setups that could work in a next few days on a small time frames (there is no guarantee, of course) that I'll try to take advantage; those GBP's are for fun, probably will not trade them at all. If it doesn't work, oh well... you move on to a next trade.

Having some extra time, there is some work done as well in hobby area for past year and a half... charcoal and oil paint; there are few more but didn't have those files on hand and (at the end) who even cares :-)

Have a good one and see ya in a year or two :-) - just kidding, no idea when it will be.

Recap of charts above (excluding soybeans, out of range) since July 22nd. I just scanned it really quickly, no need to dwell on it too much. Past two weeks I was working mostly on Russell NY open (it's useless to post charts after the fact, but - overall, it was good :-)). Have a good one!

Hey Joe, how are you doing buddy? It has been a while, right? Hope all is well my man...

Thanks. Yeah, business as usual... sometimes you win, sometimes you lose :-) Indices were treating me good so far and no intention of changing it any time soon, if you know what I mean. Took this (NY time open, of course) 2 trades today on DJ futures from the top down and from the bottom up... sweet ones, yeah? Also, probably shorting euro or aussie against the dollar (monitoring it right now). There could be a decent move for a small risk, but who would know or care unless you take it :-)

Talk to you soon buddy!

Interesting areas to go long on variety of indices, even for a small day trade. Problem is that they are quite far up there in the bigger picture so needs to be handled with care :-) read: supply (opposite) areas are quite close, smaller contract size and some aggressive profit taking (if you happen to get the right entry) and also if you are into quick day trade. As for longer term, investment type of trade on currencies will keep an eye open on GBPCHF (1.24 and 1.21) and NZDCHF (0.61-0.62), well around there more or less - but there is a plenty of time ahead for proper decision. Good luck and have a good one!

Another recap of Sunday's plan for this week on indices (post above) ... hope you made some money on it, well - good for you. DAX didn't perform as the others for certain reasons mentioned (partially) in the post. Good luck!
