Correct! I do some blending as well if PA looks shitty in overbought and oversold conditions indicating a probable swing point. Yup! All 3 trades of mine are moving along nicely, almost at TP on EU and GU. You're having a fantastic week too. How the ...

Why not, GB? They kick off pretty big moves. Of course, like any other PA pattern they need to be traded from the correct locations. Most Japanese candlestick patterns are better suited to stocks, but the DCC and its bullish counterpart, the ...

Sorry for the late reply. Keltner - settings: MA period: 20 (Exponential) ATR period: 10 (MA Simple) Band distance: 2 I like this! Where did you place your initial SL if I may ask? ----------------- Awesome selling pressure on EU: Will likely move ...

Yeah that too

Thanks GB. It's basically the same thing, just tweaked a bit to minimize silly losses by taking only the higher probability trades. Yes you're right, this should not be stressful at all, and it won't be any longer. I got this; I know exactly what to ...

Pat, I’m really happy for you. It’s quite depressing to only read negative stories about 95% of traders losing money. And the old serpent whispers in my ear “well if everyone’s losing, including those more experienced than you, what makes you think ...

james16 Chart Thread

Well yes, sort of. I want to make money and the only way to do that is to be in a trade. But I have bigger problems. This new tweaked trade plan of mine that relies heavily on MM is not going to work. Using my past results as a foundation for it ...

Yeah I figured. Definitely not J16 but it does look somewhat like a PB. The thing is, GB, I’ve been looking at my trade journal and noticed that my strike rate on EU, GU, UJ and AU on D1 is very high. So I’ve decided to trade just these pairs but ...

The AUDUSD trade I spoke of yesterday, I'm in on an H6 PB/BEOB. image image

Thanks Gerard, yes the bar closed marginally bearish/neutral on my feed too but I’m okay with that. For me, jumping in early is worth the risk from locations I am expecting bearish PA at, especially in cases like this where support isn’t too far ...

GBPUSD D1 possible BEOB. My order is placed, waiting for the previous day's low to get taken out. image

Nice entry, GB. This is the only way I take CT trades, but I decided against this one. Waiting to short this pair: image Oh, and I'm back BTW.

@Matt: I don't know what's up with FF but they're not allowing me to PM anymore for the day LOL. image So anyway, I'm going to be away for a month. Any New Yorkers (hint hint nudge nudge) that would like to hook up this weekend for drinks, drop me ...

You're the only person I know that can laugh about the fact that he has a broken filter. Maybe that's the problem, Mordy? You don't really care 'cause you have a ton of money already and so you're less picky about your trades?

Hey Gerard, yeah if you played the retrace you'd be trading into 138 BRN but you would have moved your stop to BE when price approached 138 (1R). So it would have been a free trade from that point on and you would have taken 2.5R profits at the end.
