Let's see...Iran (a Russian ally) is fighting IS in Iraq, Russia will now be fighting them in Syria, (and eventually Iraq?), we and some of our allies are bombing them in Iraq, (not sure where else), and so on. It's becoming harder to see who the enemy of the enemies really are, and who are...

Not the rest of the world, just us. I don't buy into the Muslim sympathy thing (if I were to consider a reason why we haven't been more aggressive). I think it has more to do with the fact that they were enemies of Assad. Man, if that's the case, did Russia just complicate the shit out of...

Nice!

Had I left the initial stop at 1177, I would have reached my objective on the remaining part of the position. Such is life. Trading is filled with "what ifs?". .

...as I post this final edit, it's down to 1186 from it's high of 1224...in 20 minutes. This is still the 60'.

Stopped break even at 3:11 on last 3rd after German data release at 3:00 CST US. Done until morning. Glad I took the 2nd position off early. Will be interesting to see how this bar finished in the morning. I'm not waiting up for it.

Hey Surf, sorry to hear the news. You're OK in my book. Even if you're not a TA guy, consider that different techniques work at different times (I'm sure you have). I'll bet you think I took this play because it's an inverted head and shoulders. That's not why I took it. I took it...

Chose to exit 2nd position at 1213 (21 pip gain) at first test of prior bar high. (should have held...as I post, now testing the prior bar high at 1218), but too tired to care. Will leave the remainder of the position at BE stop/2065 target...all or none. Good night.

Small Orange line is now target two, and green line target 3. Too tired to stay up, though orange limit will expire in 3 hours. If it expires prior to fill or stop, the remaining size will all be at the 1165. Stop will remain at BE.

Entered EURUSD full size at market at 1192 at 12:04 CST US...actual risk 15 pips (1177) ...front end booked at 1205 completing 1 to 1 RR. Stop moved to BE (white/red line). Next target 1230 (3 to 1 RR) (green line)....final target 1265 (just below Mi R...not shown) RR 5 to 1. This post is...

Thanks Captain O. I stand corrected. The later comment I referred to was from a later interview/presser (or speech). http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/ben-carson-constitution-muslim-president/2015/09/22/id/692713/ "...Carson doubled down saying any president of any faith has to place the...

I'm flat EURUSD until after Draghi is done testifying on monetary policy tomorrow. http://www.forexfactory.com/calendar.php?day=sep23.2015

I agree, but only to a limited extent. The problem with the gotcha stuff is the biased media from either side fails to quote the entire comment, which is often a tactic designed to mislead. That then indicates to me that an agenda is at work, and I no longer consider it journalism. That...

A blind man could see the obvious: Todd wanted Carson to say we have a president who is a Muslim. That was the game. Why else would he have put it out there? I already said how it should have been answered. We do not have legitimate journalism in this country at this point. Mostly...

He should have challenged the journalist as to why the question was relevant as there are no Muslim candidates running.

No, he shouldn't. It will end the same. I have mentioned Brooks in almost every one of my posts. Others have eluded to his method, as well, and I await what Visaria has to say. All threads go off topic, and to be honest with you, so what? As long as it returns to the point. A little humor...

I agree. The market is a big, flowing river of money. The trick is not capsizing the boat once one sets sail, or getting swamped by the bigger boats.

If you consider thermal layers in the water to be as S & R, you might...especially if you know what water temp they like to hang out in. You'll have a better idea where to place your order then...I mean your lure.:) Hopefully you'll get filled!

I thought about that...the psychological side of my comments, but didn't originally plan on discussing trades that I've taken (been many, many more than I've mentioned) when I joined the thread, but it is the objectivity in Brooks' method that is helping me overcome many issues (IMO). I've had...

Having read both the old book, and new ones, I can say the new series is very much improved...still a few mistakes here and there, but with the sheer amount of data discussed, not a big deal. The charts in the new books can be accessed on the web for those who need to see them larger (I don't...
