I use stops at previous hotspots but I will adjust it accordingly when the price action agrees/disagrees.

I simply dont have the time to manage all that. As you probably saw last night, I made the call for a long e/u on the trend line. It happened. I made it well early as well. After that I didn't log back into FF, because I was busy doing my end of ...

heres a hard one for you guys. The rally is an extended one. There is so much support, but there is trend exhaustion on the lower time frames. A move down to the trend line is 100% certain, however, will it be before or after the up move? God ...

I dont trade fundies, but the guys at work use reuters and bloomberg TV. All are pricey though i think. I used to have bloomberg when i lived overseas, it cost like 10$ a month for the TV.. It was more expensive for the pc version though.

You want to see every tick possible. The higher quality the data the better. Most GOOD traders I've met are self taught, most of the grads I've met are absolute morons, and I try to avoid them unless they are nice guys. They are in the job for the ...

The pattern finder wont be very effective if it doesnt read the price movement. Becaues you will see that there will become a pennant or gartley or whatever pattern, and then htey will break, however the gartley etc will not suggest a break on the ...

My suggestion would be to make this week the last week for 08. As all the market makers go on leave until the 5th. Thin market, anything can happen. Not for the weak hearted.

No charts today guys, I just got a really bad stomach ache, I opened a few trades, my favourite one being a/u short at 0.6640, am about to close it now and go to the couch for some RnR. I'll see what I can come up with tomorrow providing the boss ...

It is strong on the 30 min chart I find. I just dont trade using it much. Unless market is sideways. It can be used as either support/res or centre of gravity.
