I was just being a jackass with my last post. I chart on paper because it hits me psychologically more than seeing it on a television screen, which is what a computer monitor is to me. If you're 18 years old you won't know the difference, but those ...

Do any of you guys print out charts?

This time of year is a mess, I'm going to backstudy it and see if it's always this way... What we have going on in my flawed, B.S. analysis is this: 1. Most Western traders are away for holidays thus allowing the Asians to control the market. 2. ...

Fundamentals keep screwing my purely Technical strategy

I wish I was Japanese and put on a short at 1.9744...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

I wouldn't ever trade based on these holiday quotes, because they get squirrley. I saw that Bloomberg quote over 1.97 and I thought that maybe the Asian markets ran it up because they were trading outside of all the money in the European and U.S. ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

I print charts because I also like to destroy trees. We just had a nice fire over at my Mom's house, sitting around opening gifts and what-not. We burned about 10 logs, not only destroying trees but burning them with the intention of polluting the ...

Do any of you guys print out charts?

I chart my dailies by hand with a ruler on an actual sheet of paper! This must sound crazy to a lot of people. The reason I do so is because when I went to school computers were in their inception, all math was done with pencil and paper, and ...

Do any of you guys print out charts?

This is very wierd stuff, guys, I was in a short on Oanda Friday and was flipping out because I caught the Bloomberg quote at some relatives' house on TV, then came home to find my trade still in the black. I don't know what's up with these quotes, ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

The Thai government changed this measure as quickly as they implemented it because they saw the effect immediately...

Thai banking fiasco

I absolutely will not trade Third-World currencies. I'm not worried about THB. What happened is that THB caused an inflow into EUR and GBP, and I shorted USD based on that fact. People were looking for a safe haven against the Southeast Asian market ...

Thai banking fiasco

Yeah, it's Asia, but there are crucial levels that have been totally screwed with all day, I guess I'll go to the Jack Daniels' to knock me out and wake up about 0300 CST to see what Europe does. I thought longer time frames meant that you don't ...

GBPUSD

Okay, back from the liquor store, and GBP/USD hasn't moved a bit. This confirms several things to me: 1. The market is indecisive. 2. I may be in for a squirrely Asian move if it goes over 1.9495. 3. This is the very point of decision in the ...

GBPUSD

Meanwhile, Swissy doesn't know whether to follow GBP or USD right now, it wants to go Dollar bull but is just teetering... We're at a crucial moment right now. This very hour, or next few hours, 0100 to 0300 GMT, will determine whether this is a ...

GBPUSD

Just now Tokyo opened and it's taking a run up at resistance, let's see if it breaks, this is still based on my double-top idea with a little bit of Vegas thrown in...

GBPUSD

Just an afterthought, Trend man, but something I'm investigating of late that might be of interest. I'm sure others do it and it's not all that original, but it's helping me to be profitable. Have you ever used one pair as an indicator for another ...

GBPUSD

Not being a smartass, Mr. Trend, I think we're past that now. I now maintain that you are actually okay in my book. I try to be predictive, I do not try to predict. Let's go short and see what happens... I think we'll make $$.

GBPUSD

Okay, I don't know where the market will go over days or weeks. I can watch it play out and see when it does certain things that are very probable, however. Today GBP/USD completed its double top and is headed down. How far down? I don't know, we'll ...

Arbitrage with no-interest broker

I read that thread several times, it's a good one. However, we all proccess large quantities of information to arrive at conclusions, and my conclusion is that I made a lot of $$ longing cable recently, then made a lot of $$ shorting it, then, after ...

GBPUSD

Before I go up to Nashville to play some tunes, my Friday night mellowness is giving me a different take on this... We can gamble and win. I've done that. Back in 2002 Euro was a sure long, it was ridiculous, and I went all in all the time, with ...
