luqmanz, what kind of timeframe would you prefer? It is currently 6 weeks... It can't be so long that people lose interest.

Yes I did - anymore news on this?

Why don't you try trading with a broker that doesn't alter their spread during news?

I will be looking to get long next week on any kind of renewed strength based on this price action. (pin bar, daily chart)

Anybody watching the price action of cable.

This looks like a dangerous place to go long to me! Mike, wouldn't you say that's a pin in traffic? Or am I wrong...either way it worked - good stuff! And yep, I see Eur/Jpy soared today...I have to admit even after I know how I "should" be thinking ...

Mike, I agree, swinging a bigger line than I could afford was not particularly clever and I am very lucky that this trade worked out so well. I hope I am not misleading anyone here - I am not saying this is the way you should trade - just walking ...

Dan, This Eur/Usd has been the best trade that I have made in seven years of trading (two years of forex). This is not just because it has made me the most money but because I have planned it incredibly carefully and executed that plan with ...

james16 Chart Thread

Dan, I could have easily been wrong and you could have used a 1.2140 stop and walked away with only a small amount of profit. Everyone trades differently. Personally I don't pay any attention to targets. I will have points in mind where I think a ...

JoshDance, SB is short for Spread Betting, a type of derivative that we have in Europe in which you bet on a spread that almost exactly mirrors the underlying market but have the advantage of not paying commissions or tax on winnings. I've found ...

USD/CAD Daily — Razl, Good spot on the USD/CAD IB you mentioned a few posts back. This is winding up really tight and I am fairly sure that it's going to break sharply in one direction. Problem is, as ever, knowing which way it's going to go. ...

Ok, I've set up another competition and registered for it myself this time! Go here to register: url It starts on Monday July 16th and ends on Friday August 24th.

Turbo I wasn't in my own competition because of some mishap at the beginning. Well, lets see what others say - there seemed to be a lot of interest a few days back and now everyone is keeping quiet again...

Good point - I've gone back and put the titles in those... I never bother resizing my charts...I hope everyone can see them!

GBP/EUR Daily — Here is the same pair but quoted the other way round - GBP/EUR. Identical setup (of course) only in reverse. This pair moves a far greater number of pips although that makes no difference if you position size correctly.

EUR/GBP Daily — How about this? Pin bar at the 50 fib and meeting resistance at pivotal s/r and the 150 AND the 365 ema. Shorting this looks like a done deal to me. Anyone else have an opinion on this?

NZD/USD Daily — On to some normal trading. Great looking pin bar right at the top of this trend. Having said that, I've been burnt a lot shorting these carry trades before...

GBP/JPY 5m — And this chart below is why I am back with you all again after my ridiculously brief hiatus. This is how you make up two years of losses in around 4 hours. Top chart is Oanda. Bottom chart is my SB broker. Both are 5 minute chart ...

USD/CHF 1hr — Dan, On the hourly bars, price has been in a recent range. (see chart) There were several different ways to exit here and none are necessarily any better than others. You could have taken the break of the two bar pin and then had ...

james16 Chart Thread

It's been mentioned in here before, Dan, but only briefly. There are a lot of ways to "see" pins. You can combine two or more bars to make a pin or you can make a pin "by proxy" which is where the open/close is not within the previous bar but ...
