typically me, didn't catch the upmove on the higher timeframe, allthough I could 'feel' it going up, but definitely caught the bull by the horns on the 1 min. I excited at 76 but that was just by feel, were there any signs to get out ... I still need to improve my exits and cut my losses better...

I got up an hour and a half earlier than usual to try to get a piece of the action in the asian session ... but really not much action going on.

thanks for the post mortem, goodnight. Still need lots to learn and need better looking at different timeframes. I definitely also need better charts instead of just quotetracker.

Now I finally understand why I misinterpreted K/R too, I had allready done a google but had missed the difference between candle and bar charts. I'm just back from my dayjob, had to stay longer then usual today, and wasn't able to follow during the last three hours, once again a big move. Was...

I can't speak for CF, but I think he will confirm my opinion: yoohoo definitely adds value to this thread, been trading this way for three weeks and made money everyday except one, and that was because I didn't follow yoohoo's advice. If the proof of the pudding is in the eating this one...

so you only take them at pivot points or when you really think the market is exhausted based on higher timeframes ?

Yoohoo, was I wrong in seeing a pin bar a few minutes ago, or was it just one that didn't work out ? edit: I just see you answered my question allready.

talking of pin bars, it seems like we just had one ... or either I still don't understand them ...

somebody woke up :D for the first time I really saw the setup move across the time-frames, shorted at 5908 and covered with a little luck at 5866, I guess it was because we broke the trendline on the hourly ...

thanks, nice box btw on the 3 min and 5 min charts about 40 minutes ago. I do it the other way around, CF, I'm used to taking the patterns on 1 minute, now I try taking the ones on the longer timeframes :)

I got more or less a similar question about PP, how do you calculate them for monday, having the market close early on friday and having data on sunday using GMT, do you use both days ?

Yoohoo, I definitely know what you are talking about. I had a great two weeks, but since thursday, I really started to experience a lot of stress. Probably as you pointed out, from all the new things I learned. And friday, I totally screwed up, trying to trade from my day-job (I know not clever)...

I saw the double horns, took it at 46, but had second thoughts because I saw too much support under it and covered at 45, should have let it run to 38 at least ... instead went long there at 38.5 and sold at 46.

Hi CF, personally I think having a position into figures is a rather dangerous game, it's nice if you are right, but if you are wrong it could go a long way before you get out ... I personally close al positions 10 minutes before them, even if this means I leave some profits on the table.

It's only now that I see the trendline on the hourly chart was broken at 1.5863 ... once again a big move to follow

I'm not trading this morning due to other stuff, but following the chart. So glad I'm not, can't imagine wouldn't have lost money shorting somewhere. What a mega-move, didn't saw this one coming.

I see, I have been trying to play this game to0 over the past week, but only with moderate succes, this seems to have been the real big winner (wasn't behind my screen so couldn't take it). But I learned a great deal from this thread, having (once again) a great week allready ... thanks, keep up...

Good morning CF, was it the reversed head and shoulders on the 15 min chart that made you go long ? or else ...

I'm having the same problem, I'm using oanda (game play charts) as my backup

extremely true, I have done a few years of medicine, you don't want to mess with your hormones because of unknown side effects. Lots of crazy people here who don't know what they are messing with !
