I now wish I had used the word "vagina" or talk about that other thread that Baron allows members to post pics of nude women down in the chit chat section.
Depending on your reply, this will be likely my last reply to you.Live as in has the last days trading detail, not the detail of over a week ago!
Everyone knows it is not live, as in now.
We can call it most recent to clarify.

Building on Stewie's work earlier in this thread, I think the answer to OP's question is fairly straightforward. Is it a reversal or a pullback ?
If we define a pullback as a retracement in an up trend followed by a higher high, we simply have to wait for the higher high to determine the answer to the question. A one tick higher high cements the answer. So when faced with the question, just wait. At least you'll know it's a pullback. The pullback might end right then and there, but that's another question.
Any answer before the higher high is just a guess or speculation. Of course nothing wrong with speculation given good risk management.
1) That's a quote from a guy trading binary options. Is that what the OP of this thread is doing ?
2) Its not from a textbook.
3) That guy is teaching his method at a forum.
4) The Op can state that his penis is 9 inches long but just because he said such in this thread doesn't imply he's require to prove such.
5) If someone states they have an edge and they are showing their real time trade results in another thread...why not have this conversation in that thread or will it be a silly debate about if its rubbish or not if he post profits for the next month, next year or should he keep posting real time trades for 10 years for you to decide if he has an edge or not ?
But didn't the second box go through the so-called "congestion" before reversing and headed south?Looking at your chart, you need to add another moving average to define a pullback...
The 'area' which you've put 'long' seems to be a pullback (or weak temporary upmove) because that area has not gone through the transition phase from downtrend to uptrend yet.
IMO, prior to reversal, prices usually go through a congestion zone (no trend zone), but that area has not gone through that phase yet.
I trade off monthly charts, much easier to define when a trend is over
eek!!!!Depending on your reply, this will be likely my last reply to you.
1) Studying the past in order to understand the future is a good thing.
2) You keep asking for the most recent chart. Is analyzing yesterday's chart any better than studying the chart 1 month ago? How come? They're both hindsight analyses. If you want realtime analysis, perhaps we can both go head-to-head with our realtime calls or trades.
3) If you're forward-looking and want to discuss what will happen next week, then throw out some calls on where the reversal or pullback will likely happen. Then I'll tell you what I think.
4) Irrespective of your obnoxious role in the "Obvious" thread, I believe you're a cool guy.![]()

Excellent idea. We need something there but many traders think averages lag too much. What else can we use there? Maybe I am nobody will tell us? Certainly baro-san knows what to put there. I know. Forty knows. Db knows. wtf guys? come on? think!Looking at your chart, you need to add another moving average to define a pullback...

You said you could not find in on google, and I did!
Textbook, pdf, internet, it is all the same old rubbish.
I will leave ye at it, as I do not think anyone here is interested in discussing what really matters most, instead are just inspired by others who post stuff without explaining the reasoning behind same.
There is nothing new here, as in most threads, as everyone is just using the same old text book rubbish, which we all know is no good to anyone, as most people lose money trading when they try to use it.
