    Ahhh The Greek Contagion!! Strengthens the case for pulling out of the EU IMO. Can't believe UKIP polled so badly. Just goes to show how easily the herd is manipulated.

    TE, re. what allowed this opportunity to set up? I'll guess, could it be as simple as taking the break of the range of the previous NRB? PS. judging by the long bottoming tail (looks like Thursday afternoon's incident of panic selling, supposedly triggered by a cat jumping on to a keyboard...

    Informational arbitrage on this afternoon's sell off? Assuming it was down to a P&G mis-sell, then you're saying you would have known in advance that the cat was going to jump onto the keyboard are you? (That's a joke BTW) Indices have been rolling over the past couple of days anyway any...

    So long as it's objective arguments and not bigoted then I don't really mind, if anything it's good to "stay on your toes" and re-evaluate your ideology from time to time and for the most part it tends to reinforce my beliefs about TA. However, it is unfortunate that you rarely get an...

    "Short-term traders may find the fundamental information interesting, but on a stand-alone basis, trading on fundamental analysis rarely equates to profitable trades. In fact, following fundamental analysis is often an obstacle when trading because traders tend to form an opinion of what the...

    Jack & Prof, I have a very good trend following set up based on waves, cycles, momentum, MAs and multi-tfs, I make my entries on the first or second trend retrace and my method is good, I can USUALLY nail the exact bar of the cycle peak/trough with high probability. However I'm aware that volume...

    Is it not true that these "order of events" as you put it take place on each of their respective time frames or are you saying that they feed through influencing the longer time frame? e.g. you can see; accumulation, mark-up, excess and distribution on monthly, weekly, daily, hourly and...

    Senior/Sucessful traders, what do you reccomend for a Newbie?

    It's been pointed out to me that in my prior post I should have said, "predict price action with 100% accuracy..." apologies if it caused any confusion. I was trying to point out the importance of controlling risk exposure with correct position sizing and money management.

    Be patient and wait to see if significant support from mid Dec 09 and Feb 10 holds at just below 75, although it depends if you're playing for a swing or an intraday move. As if you were to short the break of the WRB low then you'd be shorting straight into obvious support, however the down...
