    Poll: SPY,long or short?

    Yep... The weekly is awesome... The month is good confirmation but the turns lag a lot half the time. Eg... When the monthly candle engulfs down most of the move is over. I'm not a trend trader... Trend trading generally has low odds... 40% win rate or so, but it makes money because the gains...

    ZNGA going under?

    As for copycatting I was referring to everyone in this industry making similar replicas of each others games that are just slightly different enough that they don't get sued. It gets quite annoying... But developing is only truly a waste of time when the big boys like zynga do it because they...

    Sweeden prepares for breakup of Eurozone

    I think that breaking up the eurozone would be really good for the global economy. Countries being able to individually adjust and devalue their own currencies would help global growth a lot.

    Forex factory down???

    Enjoy the hourly sell cycle bears. I hope it's a big one... That was one of the most dizzying hourly rally cycles I have yet seen on the EUR/USD... Those Europeans play a very solid game. Gotta be on your toes! If only I had went short at the moments I excited my two longs tonight I...

    Forex factory down???

    Arrr, dang... Picked the wrong bottom. Excited on 50% retrace bounce for three pips profit... Rotflmao! Gawd, just not my night... I'm a bit too bullish the euro for this market... At least price strength was strong enough to let me out of that position for sure.

    Forex factory down???

    Are we having fun yet? LoL... :D Missed that long setup. Was sitting there waiting for a lows retest to buy... No dip... No dip... Still going! *Scratches head.* If you ask me that news was front run. After a pullback like that you expect the lows to be retested or at least a two candle...

    Forex factory down???

    I don't really care what the news is. I just don't like holding position during a release unless there is a strong trend.

    Forex factory down???

    You know what amazes me? How damn well price/volume analysis works in Forex... All I needed to see was that one candle and I was like sh*t... Looks like I'm wrong about the uptrend... Candles three and four there should also have had new highs... A decisive solid uptrend shouldn't have...

    Forex factory down???

    Nope nope, not buying... That bad vol spike on the EU open told the story. That shouldn't have been there... Something is fishy about the euro tonight.

    Forex factory down???

    LoL... I'm new to Forex trading. It's something to keep me busy while I wait for the overall market to get back to normal. I really want to swing some big shorts on the SPX but that ain't happening for another month or so.

    Forex factory down???

    Odd, that move just wasn't very decisive about holding high. Not buying this dip. Waiting a couple cycles... Bad location for a vol spike. If it's moving decisively higher there should only be vol spikes at new highs...

    Forex factory down???

    Woohoo! First trade... 10 pips for me off that dip buy... Probably should be holding long for hours... But whatever... EU session isn't even open yet. No need to rush trades. First resistance tonight 1.2397, second 1.2456. Those areas are key. Forex factory might have banned me for...

    Forex factory down???

    I need a EU economic calendar asap!!! Forex factory isn't loading for some reason... Aieee!!! Market open in one hour! I don't trade until after the volatility arrives after EU open. Don't care to walk into a unexpected 25-50 pip spike event on the EUR/USD.

    EMA - SMA Equivalency math problem...

    I needed that conversion calculation to be done correctly for my momentum indicator. I got it solved. Now I can plot automated channels based upon current trend strength. Current SPX filtered trend strength is at 16.70 points per 10 days. La da de da... Going to be a while until...

    Poll: When will volume come back?

    The only table around with nice players right now in Forex is the USD/JPY. The EUR/USD has some hardcore pro gamblers who take no survivors. :D :D :D WE LEAVE NO SURVIVORS!!! When we break it we push it to the max! until there is blood curdling fear that Greece just went under! :cool:

    Jack Hershey, you around?

    I'm not jack you douche... Anyway. A jack is an interesting guy. A lot of his theories are spot on. The problem is the concepts are too abstract for most people to understand them because were dealing with the intricacies of human's gambling physiology.
