razl, are you confusing me with someone else? i only ask because since i've been on ff, i've blown my personal account, plus a loan from my mother despite being unemployed and worse: unemployable. the amount of bills on my door mat is only matched ...

hello razl, nice move! congratulations on your first trade! tom

update on eur/cad — eur/cad broke out of the sideways channel and met support at the rising trend line. it then tried to get back into the channel but the strong climb over one session was just as easily beaten back by an almost identical ...

steve, sorry to hear you missed that move in oil - it was a very good call! today i see WTI has a pin bar developing with the nose almost touching the 61 fib.

james16 Chart Thread

last night i posted a chart of eur/chf with the daily pin. i entered this on a break of the session low this morning in my live account. here is a breakdown of the hourly. when it was up 17 pips, it reversed and formed a pin bar at which point i ...

james16 Chart Thread

here is a view of that last chart on the hourly. i always thought there was no "sure thing" in this game but there is no way that was ever going anywhere but down.

eur/chf — calling seeking or mike, this is a pin bar isn't it? i know the close is not within the previous eye but it's only 3 ticks out... besides, we've still got 23 minutes to go until the session end here in london... tom

shamstec, by "break" i am fairly certain mike means as soon as the price goes below the pb low. it does not have to actually close below it. tom

you're right! well spotted habeeb! that was one hell of a move today. it's interesting that the may contract moved 119 ticks but the august only managed 22. i guess that is probably the result of the upcoming expiry.

mmm i love sugar.

steve, good luck getting through that support on eur/cad

dow. hourly. again, i didn't take this but when i saw the dow down almost 100 points i thought i'd drop down the time frame and see if i couldn't spot a potential entry. and look what we have here. tom

james16 Chart Thread

here we see "real" price action as confirmed by the chicago board of trade. price gapped up on the open and then fell. and repeated this identical pattern over two sessions. so what looks like two pin bars on E*trade is really just two BEB's. in ...

i know jim's advice is 'play 'em as you see 'em' but folks, it sure pays to know the idiosyncracies of your broker! and it's not always just the time difference the charts operate on that can cause problems. my broker (E*trade) charts prices by ...

On what timeframe?

james16 Chart Thread

hi steve, a couple of points to make about your oil chart. 1. your fib levels are wrong because the spike above $68 that you see on your chart never actually happened. it is the same on my chart too. you need to fib from the next high around $66.70. ...

well, well, well.

pork bellies. weekly chart. pivotal s/r in red. we broke through in february of this year and we've now come back to test support. a good area to look for a pa setup. (see next chart)

hi shamstec, ok it sounds like you need some help but an exit really depends on where and why you entered the market so it is difficult to give advice without this information. the most important thing is not to panic. i know this is difficult but ...

james16 Chart Thread

well, i got the first one but i was paper trading it. i was still in the first trade when the second signal came. and i missed the third one, today. it's a real shame because it was a large one day fall for oil. i pulled up a chart for crude on ...
