Texan - regarding age you have 2 1/2 yrs on me; regarding pips you have thousands of percent over mine. I would love to test the Swiss army knife EA - does it go in "Experts" and then "Indicator"? I don't use fibs, pivot points or anything like that ...

Daily Chart w/ 10sma

You are absolutely right, I didn't follow the rules. The eur/nzd broke the 200 sma but not the 10ma which is indicating long at the moment. For the chf/jpy I traded a bounce off the 200ma. I will stick to the rules when posting future trades. As far ...

Daily Chart w/ 10sma

From Fri I am short the chf/jpy and plus 91 pips at the moment. About 30 minutes ago I shorted the eur/nzd, minus 5 pips right now. Both pairs are part of the practice four that Texan & the originator suggested.

Daily Chart w/ 10sma

I believe it was in this thread, but not 100% sure & I haven't gone back through it, where the originator ignores wicks & shadows but places s/r on the candle bodies. If so you would be at TP in the above pic. Good work.

Daily Chart w/ 10sma

My net trading yesterday wwas negative: -70 pips for the Z/$ & +32 pips for the gbp/Y. Live trades but just micro lots and I now have a profile set up with the 4 suggested pairs on one screen. I didn't trade today but will look hard at this strategy ...

Daily Chart w/ 10sma

Texan - Thanks for the heads up and I will give these a go on my practice acct. I have a sell stop on the Z/$ and a buy stop of the lb/Y in my live acct. My only concern is that I trade the NY session and the fab 4 might be more active before that ...

Daily Chart w/ 10sma

$/Y — I am long the $/Y @ 78.333 (07:13cdt/us). I have a buy stop for the E/gbp @ .8029 - a fair distance from the current price but I have had far too many stop entry order get hit and then retrace dramatically or even just reverse so now I ...

Sorry McNish, I didn't post a chart - don't know how. p

Simple Money Making Method

Thanks, I needed that (seriously)

Simple Money Making Method

I have to read more and trade less - the gbp/$ hit the 35 pip SL & the $/C is nearing SL. My week continues!

Simple Money Making Method

I just shorted the gbp/usd & long the $/C - just one mini each as this is my 1st try with this strategy. I've not done well at all with another strategy so I hope a change of scenery will do the trick. This is very simple and clearcut but kind of ...

Simple Money Making Method

Since you have waited 6 months for an answer I can say Yes! I bought the $/Y this morning (8 am cdt) and caught 27 pips and it should have been a lot more but I screwed up the trailing stop. But 27 is 27 so I'm not complaining.

Thanks Tom - With the enlarging feature offered by FF I can see the chart and lettering 100%. Thanks again, p.

Simple 7 Strategy

I agree with the pipster, I don't see a traditional PB where your entry is indicated. And I found that PBs that don't occur at a swing high or low are much less reliable. A PB should have a tail 2 to 2 1/2 times the length of the candle body and the ...

Thank you, I will see if I can get them to work - my Win7 OS is a little cranky, just like me! p.

Candlestick Trading

pivot points — eyevoltage - where did you get the PP indie? It looks to be very useful for the 15M TF which I believe is the best TF to trade now in this wacky forex world. And it looks as if this will be the case until the European/US ...

Candlestick Trading

I can't make heads or tails out of this market; good news regarding US sentiment but the dollar is down across the 6 major pairs so I'm taking the month of August off, I'll return to betting after Labor Day. Good trading all, p.

Simple 7 Strategy

simple 7 — This is the only strategy I am trading right now. Easy to understand and implement. WalMart has an 11x8 in. white board for $2. I listed the 11 pairs I follow & have a column for the 4H trend direction. Then I move to the 15M TF and ...

Quick and Dirty EOD

My broker's rolloever is 23:00 cdt/US but the trades weren't triggered until the following morning. Update - E/$ SL hit, the other two in negative pips. I was slightly in profit when I went to bed last night but London killed me. Not sure if I will ...
