oooh nasty, just looked at cable, not surprised it was a stressful morning, she can be a bitch!

FW's just jealous, he gets like this... :rofl: You only posted that so you could use a different smiley didn't you!! :hmmmm:

Is there such a thing as free intraday YM futures charting? I have cash on metatrader but would be good to follow you guys and watch the movements...

Just the way the ladies like it!

Shorts eyed with a solid TL break.

Thanks FW, I worked that out already.

Anyone know how I move my 'uncategorised' blogs into my new titled folder? EDIT: Worked it out now.

Hi Kiwi, First up, nice charts! Who do you use? interesting charts. Are they all self drawn lines? Who is Andrew Babson? Does he mind you using him!?!! Whilst I can see what the lines are telling you, I can't tell how you'd use them specifically? Prey tell............

That ego again. Get some alarms and alerts setup, that helps me. Not so whippy IMO with some nice +100 pip runs. The problem has been the strong bounces off support but each trader has their own preferred behaviour and you just ride out the crap till your's comes along IMO. Work?! Work?! what's that?!!! But seriously, patience is a virtue and all good things come to those who........................wait. Plus lots of hard work and study in the process too of course!

Well my reversal happened at 5am so got out for 5 and broke even when I shorted and flat atm due to my unreliable internet today. Just about awake to place trades, let alone post the trades, sorry! Hi Torero, I too am a trend follower mostly but can't be that easy and simple all the time. After we changed direction on Tuesday, the breaks have been good, just needed to be careful with the shorts as the resistance became support and that support caused sharp rebounds. Still a few 100 pip runs if in in a timely fashion. Must sayI prefer the smooth long runs but still a few hundred to be had this week. Hopefully it'll get some nice direction next week and provide some nice runs.

My god the moderation, dedication and intent on trading is a refreshing and pleasing change. I have had a busy week but look forward to getting engrossed into a superb trading board for a change.

Chaps, lots to post but busy today and internet connection playing up... back later!

Cheers Nine, I'l see if I can get soultrader or someone to juggle the posts about tomorrow. There seems to be more then my brain is getting around atm so will reply in the morning.

I don't think his psychiatrist is too keen either!

poor, poor you!

my long on GJ this evening. A bounce from support and cross of the ST trend. The strength of the down move does not convince me we are heading far down tonight so in for the long, I have an SAR level below my stop so ride the overnight move and see if we break back down tomorrow or head up for 205. All that said, it and EJ have just woken up and dropped so this may be over before I finish typing!

Long GJ @ 203.95 stop @ 203.65

I have spent so much time studying charts that I know so much, we swapped and now they study me

It is in my book...... With me, anything goes! I have taken up 'gut' trading. The only rules are, there are no rules!

looking to go long shortly as both GJ and EJ on support after a painfully slow ride down.

Closed GJ at 203.72 for 41 - reason > bored!

The summer will be in full force, there are rock faces to climb, planes to jump out of and countries to travel. Besides, I am in this for the freedom as much as the money and challenge! You have my email address, don't fret! :did I say that?:

Can't wait can you!!

I think that's an important difference between indices and forex. I class myself as an intraday trader but can be in for one minute or a day, the market tells me and being open 24/5, that becomes easier for trends etc so fewer gaps to contend with.

I have/am saving for a new apartment overlooking Brighton seafront so got another month of solid 24/5 work then I will be changing my style a lot. For a start I will be taking the rest of the year off and when I come back, I will be trading for 200 pips a week and stop. Anyhow, thats beside the point. The point being... When you exit a position, do you not expect/attempt that to be as close as possibly to the high/low? Thus, a good point of reversal. Obviously whipsaws kill but have an idea how to tackle any condition and this should be irrelevant. This may all be very different and not possible for an indices trader though. Take a look at the chart att - every blue triangle being an exit and entry. There were 2 points were a better exit could have been attained BUT, overall, its 400 pips a piece by Thursday evening and, you have no problems of waiting, waiting........
