Cool! Tell us what you did! Post some charts / screenshots! The day has hardly started yet, anyway! :)

Out of EUR short, scratch BE. Same goes for AUD short. Might go back into AUD a little higher up though. Booring day...

I fired another short on the EUR @180. I know it's not exactly with the trend, but it's certainly got an awesome R:R, so I didn't hesitate... See how go... Targetting probably 50T for target 1, and maybe 100+ for secondary exits. :)

Jayford, don't know what you're doing about your GBP long. So far, that looks like one helluva bull base. If I had gone long where you did, I'd probably stay long for a bit. Looks like euro and cable might break out against the US, but then it might just be a fake-out. Myself, just following...

I'm outta here @130, so it's +0 and +10. Scratch trade basically after being way in the green at some point. Don't like the development of things, so I'll just stand aside until something better comes...

I didn't go long the pound for several reasons. I tried to just sum up some and put them on a chart... as attached. Also, as you know, I am short the EUR. There are a lot of reasons involved, including of course correlation. But chances are equal for both of us to be wrong or right, and as...

No, I'm not long the pound... :( But I'm short the EUR 140 & 130... :eek:

I don't know. It all really depends on your perspective, timeframe of reference, and your personal bias of interpretation, doesn't it? Isn't that what trading is all about for ah so many? Trying to look for a reason to reinforce their own wishful thinking? One thing is for sure, before I...

Actually, both. If I am not already bracketing according to prior critical price levels or channels, then it will really depend on the situation. Will I anticipate or wait for confirmation? Well, to sum it up as simple as possible, it generally depends on whether the market is ranging or...

Hey, looks like nobody has replied here for a while... This thread shouldn't die so quickly... Let's try to create a collection of some cool sounds! Anybody? :)

Hello hello, I have to step in and 100% agree with this. eSignal isn't a bad product, but The eSignal "Tech Support" is horrible and obviously staffed with monkeys!!! And I don't want to hear excuses. I want to see changes. Or I'll look for a more supportive vendor. Also, eSignal still...

Great words Trend Fader, I fully agree with that. I swear by it too, and admit it's not an easy job (particularly in the beginning). Trading is actually quite simple, but it's certainly not easy. For the most part, it's self-mastery. I keep getting emails today, with people wondering how I do...

OK, let's have a look at it. Let's assume you would have gone long at the break of that triangle in March '02, 24 months ago. Let's assume those 24 months represent 480 trading days. In those 480 trading days, you would have made 3,000 ticks, right? So that's 6.25 ticks per day - that is...

tykoon2, sorry I really can't answer that much indepth, but I can give you clues: Get all the tapes on-screen, and observe them closely (together with charts) for 3 months. Just watch, really closely, what the tapes do, how they behave at different levels. Watch levels and prices where the...

TF, I don't know if there's any point in discussing this. The only way you can figure stop levels is experience and observation IMO, similar to tape reading. But hey, if you start a thread and it works out well - all the power to you! Limit order? Are you kidding? What else would you use...

DrBundle, thanks for the words. HOW I pinpoint reversals so accurately? I think the last chart I posted in this thread explains most of it. I just faded the channel lines all day. I couple this with tape analysis, to determine valid turning points, and I look very much at market...

Hey Trend Fader! 1) If you incorporate stop gunning, make sure you can really "smell" the stops above / below and have the market linger there. If the air is really "hot" and looks like they'll break it (main reference is tape action), wait for the first guy to throw a grenade, then jump in...

Italy? Nice, Baruch! You certainly deserve a holiday after all this trading performance! I love Italy! Where are you gonna go? Lake Garda? Verona? Rome? Sicily? Make sure you get some (musical) culture while you're there! :cool:

Hey Genosse, why am I grössenwahnsinnig? :D Ed Seykota did 250,000% in 16 years, and that was non-cumulative, deductive, and after all account withdrawals, on several client accounts! His real cumulative returns were actually several million %. If anyone is grössenwahnsinnig, then...

I exited rest here at 108, +50 I've had enough for today folks. I'm up over +250 per contract (you can count), and it's starting to bore me, no real trend or anything today. I would have loved to have been riding a 300+ trend on top of this, but here we go. It's one of those choppy...
