Thanks for your thoughts. I agree about news events. I've kicked my own ass, and told my wife repeatedly I should have read the events calendar before initiating the strategy for Fri. I had a very discouraging event occur Thu night in my other career (won't go into that presently) that may...

Cool!!!! Good eating, too: Musky teeth are only surpassed by piranha, no? Steel leaders on those lines are the order of the day. Awesome fighters, but I think the bass I've caught over the years jump more...IMO. (Full disclosure, I only caught a baby musky at Big Round Lake, Wisconsin as a...

I see three things. I see where I stayed out according to my rules, I see where I traded successfully following my rules, and I see where I traded badly, which is where I'll spend this post. I faded pullbacks on higher time frames without checking the FX upcoming events (maybe Brooks is right...

I hope when you suffered the winters up there, you took some summer time and fished for musky and northern pike! On the other hand, we got some big ass bass down here, and they are fun...as are the catfish.

I think you won't miss the cold winters! Unless you like cold weather. I came here originally from the upper Midwest after getting stationed in the tropics, and never looked back. The best part, all that salt on the roads up north isn't an issue here. Your car will last longer (unless you...

They are just bar charts (except the fourth). Nothing more. The first simply shows where the day hi/lo is located on a lower time frame (and some great trades if you like that time frame in that style...like a 100 pip sell off with no pullback after the TL break...200 pips if you shorted...

Never heard of them, Surf. Also, if you want to enlighten me on Wizetrade, I have another question...who the hell is Big Mike?...I keep seeing that, too. (I know, I could surf em up on the web...no pun intended:D...but I'm not following you (another unintended pun...that said, no disrespect...

Since we've been talking about Brooks here, he has mentioned prior day hi and low as S & R areas in his books, but not sure about open/close. Since this has come up, I thought I'd throw in my $.02. I used to put them on all my charts, but now only on the 60'. The darker green and red are hi...

I still have to respect a guy who said that to someone who was trying to act like a pal to his face after repeatedly badmouthing him...I believe it was Leahy. I don't actually recall what it was that was said by Leahy, though. Been awhile back.

It would be particularly egregious if he said this first::D

I understand your question now. I started with the smaller account after taking my break, and played with wide stops and targets on the daily and weekly charts , sitting in some of those plays for days and weeks using the entry signals described in Brooks’ books and others (about 100 for me...

LOL. That won't just go to the thighs, I fear.:eek:

A new one has opened ten minutes away, but my garage setup is actually almost as good...minus the cardio machines. The one I do go to has everything.

Good advice. Just remember how many different ways that pattern might look when you add in all the noise. I have 2 or 3 patterns I like, and they can have several variations.

Not enough to live on, if that's why you're inquiring. The account had an increase of 22% from the start of that year to the end of that year. It had an increase of 8% from the start of the next year to the end of that year…calculated the way you would calculate any % of increase or decrease...

Or I could move back north, not that would really solve my bug problem...shorter season for them, though.:) Going to use a fogger out there. Then I'll have to clean all my weights. Easy to keep snakes out, for the most part, but insects.... I hate using pesticides, but don't have much...

You're most welcome! The reason I had so many words in my other post wasn't to explain the trade, but I was trying to convey that my greater understanding of the basics of technical trading have been helping me to overcome the parts of my personality that interfere with my ability to trade...

I can't explain much more than I already have. Many in here will disagree with my reasoning. This type of pullback to the 20ma, including after a bull spike, is repeatedly explained in Brooks' book, in particular, the one regarding trends, and probably many books by many other authors. In...

I will need to take care of some of this before I start training here at home, again. After removing him, I observed almost a dozen hatched eggs in the darker regions of his home. Don't want to grab a bench or dumbbell and find another. And just a few nights ago, after opening my garage...
