For the most part, CBI, especially when done by the Japanese, is used specifically to fight economic reality. The Japanese are hurting because of the persistnet strength of the Yen. They know that every shock to the world financial system leads to more Sterling, Euro, Dollar selling in...

Raven, dont mean to hijack your thread, but you seem to deal in size and know the business. How big can you trade at Oanda with a strategy that uses limit orders to enter, and a SL loss order combined with a Limit for exit? I have been trading a very simple method using 12 to 20 pip...

I always thought that a taller woman was kind of a status symbol. if you are 5"9 and a 6"0 supermodel is with you, u must have something on the ball.

I think about this a lot. LTCM, at least to me, signifies the acceptance that the Fed could control long term economic cycles through crafty manipulation of short term rates. Remember when the press used to call Greenspan "Maestro"? No Problem, not LTCM, nor Russia, nor Mexico, nor Asian...

One of te greatest poker players of all time, Doyle Brunson, put it best, I think. When asked if the successful players in the big game at the Bellagio had gambling problems, he just laughed. Paraphrased: "We are all sick degenarate gamblers, we just found a game we can beat." The desire...

Downloaded it from the custom indicator library. when I try to apply to chart I get a deinitializing reason 1 or 3 message, and the Indicator never appears. If anyone can help, thanks.

Current bid 116.51. SL moved to 115.95 Targeted adjusted to 117.95

By the way, this 50 level is crucial. If the trade is going to fail this is right where. Conversely, a break and hold would give me incredible confidence that 117.60 is not far off.

ES, I will leave it here, cause I like you guys. by the way, this trade is working so far, ahead 35 odd pips going into the close. Could bump the stop a little, but I think we should leave it until 116.50 has been tested and firmed up. good luck.

Starting to see technical signs that a short term move higher for the EURO against USD, CHF, JPY. Will need to see EUR/USD clear and hold the 1.4400 level before playing the expected retracement to 4600. Just ventured an anticipatory long trade in the EUR/JPY as stated in my earlier post...

sorry didnt know about it. Can I move it?

I have been posting some of my trades in a thread about the Euro, and thought I would start a new thread and divulge my trades on a daily basis. I am not selling anything, I am not IB'ing for anyone. I don't have a website or any interest in starting one. I am doing this to start...

In an attempt to atone for the 44 point loser yestereday, going to take another shot to make everyone whole. Once again, and in real time. Enter Long EUR/JPY on a Stop Order @ (when/if) 116.09. Target: 117.60 (+151) Stop Loss: 116.63 (-46) Because I don't know what the market...

stopped out, sorry fellas:)

We are getting close to be stopped out here on that Euro call. 44 point loser, which is arund ten ticks more than i like to risk. i knew it when i posted my addendum. darn.

Yes, of course. Because I take Breakout signals, i usually set an initial risk above the bar or bars, that led to my signal. I expect some sort of retest and then reset my stop once the market breaks below the initial (pre retest) breakout thrust. This level could be anywhere, sometimes it...

Not trying to get cocky, but it's like golf. Sometimes a chart, just like a shot, seems to fit your eye, and that usually leads to success. The key, I guess, is limiting action to when things fit like that. In fact, I think my last trade call was born out of hubris from my current lucky...

In Real Time: Short from1.4288, Stop 1.4337, Target 1.4174. Youre welcome Journal :)

No doubt. When people don't "get" why something is so high, you can be sure it will go higher for a while. Usually just long enough for them tho reevaluate their outlook, so they can buy the high tick.:)
