Hey DRT - if you're ready to throw in the towel - just kindly forward your methodology and rules - I'd offer up my left nut for a couple "terrible" trading weeks like you've had to recently "endure" - lol! No doubt THE MOST DIFFICULT aspect of trading lies in the schools of self-discovery...

Hello DRT - having been an ardent follower of "The View Down River", I've been meaning to send out a "welcome back" after discovering your latest thread. But, on the other hand, the practical side of me keeps thinking a trader in your position has no need to hear the accolades from the camp of...

hi - just throwing this out there ***Disclaimer*** For the forurm police, I am not a schill nor do I have any connection whatsoever with this group ... I received a cold call from Pacific Trading Academy several weeks back, so they were fresh in mind when I saw your query. And I have no...

Thanks for your comments, B1S2, and for the view of the chart. Not sure of the reason, but my rsi (14) unfortunately does not duplicate what your chart shows - that leaves me wondering ... hmm. If I may ask, the lowest line on your scale which is approached twice by the index plot line - is...

I've been craning my neck from every angle, trying to pull out something from the 240 chart, but keep drawing a blank (this wouldn't be the first time :-) Can you elaborate any, B1S2, on what this chart says to you, provided it's not purely intuitive, or based in the proprietary realm. I...

Hello B1S2 - just wanted to interject that I have been following your thread and have found it to be very interesting and well presented - thank you for your efforts and I hope you will stay with it. I've only recently become better acquainted with the 240 min chart, and am finding it to be a...

Hello charle - just subscribing to your thread to receive email notification from ET in order to track what you are seeing more closely. Apparently the posts are timestamped using New York time (EST)? Cheers...

4XIS4U - here's one way to look at it. Create a 60 min close-only line chart for the pair, draw ya a horizontal line at the 2775 area, and note all the price hits - in the spirit of yer 'ole S&R. Also, one can easily see where the breakdown hit the open waters. I'm sure DRT's reasoning is...

I really admire a man who can retain a sense of humor in the face of adversity. Hang tough, DRT! Provided you have remained within your MM parameters and not allowed emotion to commandeer the trade, I wouldn't bet against ya! I've already watched you take a trade from -200 to over +100, so all I...

Awesome trading, BLR! A tip of my hat to you , sir! Have a great day ... tbone

Thanks for your explanation, DRT. Sorry - I wasn't considering the fundamental relationships to which you referred. Was just looking at the chart and wondering what technical signal you might be noticing, other than the obvious fact that the bonds look to be heading south. I now understand what...

Hi DRT - wondering if you could explain sometime what you are looking at when viewing a chart such as the Bonds which you posted earlier. Not looking for anything proprietary (which maybe it is) but more just some general thoughts concerning price action within the channel - such as looking to...

Great thread today, everyone! It's good to see you, DRT, back at the helm. The cruise must have agreed with you, as you seem re-energized with posts a'blazin :>) Congrats to BLR for grabbin a fistful off the table today. Very nicely done! And no doubt the opportunity to get long again...

Once again, BLR, thank you very much for your time and effort in sharing your views. I love this stuff (trading) - maybe I can "sit a spell w/ Mr. Prechter" in the future. Having very limited knowledge of the subject, its easy to pass over when it seems most of the forum "press' on EW comes from...

Hi BLR - thanks, and please don't apologize for the length of your post - it made for a very interesting read! I was a bit disheartened, tho, to learn of your employment of EW. Anything more than a 5 wave advance and a 3 wave correction, and I'm left shaking my head in confusion and frustration...

hello BLR - kudos for your excellent analysis (at least for today's session - it was "spot" on; and I'm thinking this is not the first time for that here ;>) I hope you respected your work and loaded the boat. I know it definitely helped pave the way for my fanatical scalping activities. I...

I just ran across this site (link provided below) from another fella's thread here at ET. They provide free charts which are price/volume histograms of several of the more popular mkts, the Euro FX contract among them. Once selecting the euro from the homepage, don't overlook the mouse-driven...

Thanks for the reply, B1S2. We apparently are using similar strategies to daytrade, although I lean more to the scalper mentality. My entries are correct, or I am out (very tight stops = I'm a glutton for punishement - lol). My targets are generally 1.5-3 times risk, except for occasions when I...

Wondering if you would care to share any of your approach to daytrading? Specifically, I'd be very interested to hear what risk/reward ratio you are working with. Also, do you have set targets in mind at the time of trade entry, or do you just use a trailing stop and let the mkt make the call...

What's a few measley zillion when ya have gadzillions already? - lol Fortunately, the opportunities are boundless - to miss one now and then is quite acceptable to me. And seems like you had a pretty nice piece of the pie today, DRT :-) Naturally, the time frames one lives in would be a...
