What's happening in EU right now is a perfect example of why we should do what the chart says to do instead of thinking about it and acting on that. I was looking to get long off the bottom, which would have been a good little scalp, but I missed ...

You don't really need the pivots, if you can draw support/resistance then you will find those areas anyway, they just add weight to a certain level. I trade futures and our pivot levels (all levels really) are a bit different than FX but have been ...

OK man, you need to get some averages set up on your charts if you haven't already. Let's start with this... we're really interested in the M15 200 EMA because it is usually a great place to initiate a position when the market is trending and not ...

Frankie might run 'er down and grab the stops below yesterday's low then shoot it up. Or it may plow through them. Gotta be flexible. I got in at a bad spot.

Right on man... but then the question is, how much of a retracement are you looking for? Where would you close your long and initiate a short? These are the things I struggle with a bit and am still trying to learn how to read the chart accurately. ...

Well on a MTF chart, yeah for sure we are at support. On the M15, we're just trying to chew through that first resistance area and if it goes, then on up to the next one. At some point though, we should be looking to short since we're trying to ...

I got long on the little pullback there, will kill it in short order if it doesn't move up soon or just bounces around too much... but better resistance up above for sure. Maybe a Frankie Fakeout to touch the Asian high area and then back down... ...

All of them buddy. This could very well bounce up, lower timeframe stochs support it, but the overarching theme is short so... longs for scalps, shorts to hold... until the H8 stochs flip and we get above daily/weekly averages.

Ooh yeah nice pump and dump there. Digs, did you get short at the PP on the way down?

General Trading Chat / Ideas

If you were gonna take a shot at a long it should have been at the bottom there. Now we're already in resistance, and don't forget your overall picture, bulls have been quite weak and bears largely in control. This is likely to continue. I'm not ...

Digs you been drinkin' again? LOL... right on man... not much in the way of EU getting from here to there. Set up a "SFT" short last night off the H&S off the daily/M30 avgs and woke up to a nice bump in the account. Hope you are well man, shit has ...

Right on, I marked these up manually for a long time, but the more one pays attention to structure the more one just... sees them Don't always get filled but something to be aware of for sure.

It's pretty ridiculous... people get so tied to "their team" that it affects their personal lives. Team loses, then everyone at work is dejected and in a foul mood for the next couple of days We've got the Colts here as our pro NFL ...

You missed the part about tight stops... when we enter, we have the expectation that price will respond fairly close to the area we got in... and if it doesn't then no big deal, you're out maybe 10-15 pips if you even let it run that far. So no ...

I agree... now if I would only do what the chart says to do instead of overthinking everything, I might get ahead LOL... sometimes hard to unlearn what one has picked up along the way (which is usually a bunch of garbage.)
