Yep, i have the problem too. I am running IE 6 with ZoneAlarm Pro. The viruses are being picked up every time i navigate between pages on the forum. Doesn't seem to be slowing the navigation down too much but now and again ZoneAlarm seems to use ...

Virus Alert!!

Going long on Gold on break of 240 pin bar and hourly BUOB. Price has retraced 61% of yesterdays move and has also found support off Fridays high. In line with major uptrend, price has slightly pierced weekly swing point and looking for this to ...

Nice spot there Wizard. Its also bouncing off the weekly pivot. However, we have a contradicting weekly pin forming off the 38 fib and support confluence so mixed signals there. Would probably wait to see what happens for a bit longer.

Ok, long from 235.70, stop at 234.70. WIll be leaving this one until monday to see how it develops.

Great pin setting up on the GBP/JPY 240 on IB feed. Off 61% fib, previous s+r zone. Plenty of room to travel back up to 238 area. image

I have noticed that a few of you seem to have the MT4 broker on the bottom left corner of your charts. How do you get this? I would like this as i have no way of easily identifying my different MT4 feeds.

Yeah, thats what i have been doing really. However, when i first started, i was only trading cable and this was very much looking at playing the asian session breakout and pullback entry with the aim of scaling out and catching a bigger ride based ...

Yeah, nice setup, just not in my timezone. I have been pondering this and i may have to alter my trading times, although i must admit, i don't like the sound of it. I work in the UK, and in order for me to take trades from the daily, i really need ...

Wow, that OIL trade i posted a while back is flying off that support, shame i was stopped out by 1 pip. Will post later to explain why i had incorrectly placed my stop loss, need to sort my charting package out. My Eur/Cad was stopped out for a ...

Can anybody recommend a good paint software package that is free. I am having trouble with my current one. I need it to annotate my charts etc and post in my journal, so it needs to be fairly simple and straight forward.

Well, my EUR/Cad trade is moving quite nicely but has found support off the 5300 RN. My Kiwi long trade has triggered off the 240 pin bar.

Thanks guys, all feedback welcome. I must admit, i originally had my daily trendline higher so it looked like the channel had been broken but after redrawing it i can see the support line. However, i am sticking to my plan. Its amazing how different ...

I suppose the important aspect is that you take your profits in a consistent manner, ie you use the same method every time? Just checking out ForexTester, it looks good on the website. The main problem when using the F12 key is keeping all the ...

With regards to backtesting a discretional approach. How did you go about this Mike? Did you step through years of data bar by bar on the weekly, daily and 240 charts? Did you perform this on various currencies?

Looking to go long on NZD/USD off pin bar on 240. Target area is weekly resistance at 7350. In line with main trend. Have seen an inside bar break south on daily but doesn't look very convincing to me considering where it happened. image

Placed one trade on EUR/CAD this morning. SHort at 5346, SL 5396 and target area is 5200. Yesterday was a large down day off a pin bar and we got a BEOB on the 240. Price has since retraced 62% of yesterdays move and has met old support now acting ...

Thanks for the reponse guys. I must admit, i do believe that by scaling you end up chasing your tail a lot of the time, which is what i have been doing for a long time. I just wanted to get an idea of peoples risk/reward attitude before they take a ...

Thats interesting Mike. So you now set a target and stick to it? All in, all out?

Well, we got a break of yesterdays high, inside bar on my chart and a BUOB on the 240 with a retrace to the round number. This could well be a false breakout but i have gone long at 62.28 with stop down at 61.60 below the 240 bar. I am looking for ...
