Interesting. I use Today's Open, of course, but not the others as S/R. I remember a few years ago looking into something similar for the current day but I never did look at using past days (like your use of Yest London Close) to help with the ...

Since we're talking RB3 I'll show my screw-up. The short at the top does look good in hindsight but as you said, hard to hit the button at the time since everything up to that point was so choppy. So missed that fall (including a nice setup on EJ at ...

Someone tell me they caught this move and have stayed in the whole damn thing because they just followed their MA8. I didn't, and I need someone to rub my face in it to teach me a lesson. Ian, this may be your big chance...

This is the most painful day I can remember in a long time. A snapshot of the morning on EU RB7. Now who the hell wants to trade that?

Not much action in the thread so here's a chart. I've been trying to focus on trading primarily EU but today I've missed the 3100 continuation and also the extreme entry right at LO near the 3133 level. So having missed those I started to watch EY ...

Damnit, nhen, you owe me a new keyboard for causing me to laugh out loud while drinking a beer.

Depends on setup and context. Sometimes I would move to BE within just a few pips. Other times I look for more than 10 before moving to BE or will just move my stop part way if I think we may come back and re-test a key level before moving in my ...

Unfortunately not. I was in a short that I exited at that point but I got a pretty crap bar over 38 instead of that nice hammer you have. If my chart looked like yours I would have gone for it, especially considering how slow that push down had ...

Too simple. Wouldn't you rather read all the words I wrote above and over-think it?

Nice trade, mate, and definitely right on time. Caught the same one myself. Question is, how long did you hold it for? My take on it was that *if* we dropped from 3118 after such a small retrace we would be confirming a very strong move so could be ...

I cannot live with the shame of this missed call. I shall begin the seppuku ritual immediately...

I decided to take my pips as seen in the TV33 chart. I'm not as confident with the tick volume on EY and might have to adjust from 33 but it was helpful here for the exit. The initial push into 25 didn't give me an ideal place to exit on the tick ...

Possible H4 targets at 107.88 and 107.50. Rather optimistic so something is likely to get me out sooner but if the market insists I will look for those.

EY took off but was difficult to catch initially from the tight cloud. So I waited for the bounce off the April 3rd low and took the LH off 75 with a plan to bail quick if we formed a double bottom. Broke down hard and as I'm looking at this with a ...

We formed a double bottom while oversold on the RB5, so I took my pips for +19. Will look to reload for a further move down if the market would be so kind.

Tick flow trading using the RB5 for the setup. Coloured arrows are ones I've taken, white arrows are ones I missed. Two recent shorts in line with the RB5 trend with the first a BE and the second a bit better. Edit: Broke S1 and held below so ...

You're not supposed to tell me that. You're supposed to rub it in my face and tell me about all the awesome stuff you're going to buy and the exotic locales you will now visit. Or am I the only one who would be the type to do that?
- Auron112 replied Apr 4, 2012
Woah, Ian, looks like you're feeling pretty aggressive this morning! I like it! I caught the same move up with almost identical entry but my exit was where you shorted. I wasn't quick enough to go through my cool-down and catch it myself. Shame, was ...
- Auron112 replied Apr 4, 2012
You and me both. Thanks for the heads up on FXCM Strategy Tester. I will look into that. Since I'm not really trading levels in the tick data like you are it's not as important to me to have a chart that is built up when I start my day, but it ...

Step One: Sell the forex for the other currencies Step Two: ??? Step Three: Profit! Sorry, I'm not sure what you are asking here. Can you clarify?
