T2W is just so general, without many specifics. Good for newbies to wade through the general subject of trading & gain an overview of what is required, but its not a suitable environment to try & progress things much further. The general collective psyche of members is very basic. Same goes for FF etc. I'm surprised T2W can attract so many sponsors really. The mass sponsors, and now all the podcast blurb, are one reason why as a forum its all kept so basic IMO. This sponsorship culture attracts all the vendors etc. and it has become a vicious circle of non-content - 70% commercial, 70% newbie paper traders etc. PS. i bet that T2W are aware of TL, and are worried by the exodus! I suppose its just word of mouth that is bringing all the T2Wers here.

That is SODS LAW! Minor details like this will make all the difference from time to time. This shows us that some aspects of trading come down to the luck of the draw and our beyond our control. Therefore, there's no point banging your head against a wall. Just take a few deep breaths!

..................

On this chart, are the light grey lines H1 S/R, & the dark grey lines H4 S/R? On the daily chart, are those lines H4 or daily S/R levels? Thanks again.

Also, you'd especially expect a Horologist to be better than most at getting his time right. :doh:

Cool. Just the 2 pairs still? Cheers.

So for you, does trading off daily bars mean only entering the trade on the very open/close of a daily candle (and then looking at targets based on S/R), and not entering a trade/SARing mid/within a daily candle? Cheers.

Absolutely! I've never been sailing myself, but i have been deep sea fishing, and sea-kayaking (not too far from the shore!), and know that there is a fine line between feeling within your comfort zone, and quickly getting moved into an uncomfortable or dangerous situation as a swell picks up, leaving you at the mercy of mother nature.

Really - that is a bit surprising. Dailies are my longer term plan maybe, but i thought i'd try & master the intraday sub H1's one last time. Do you think it will be possible for you to extract as much $ off daily charts as off intraday charts, trading the same number of pairs? Cheers.

Sorry mate, I've not been too closely following your trades, but i see your approach is adapting. I've been busy with my own intraday approach on M15, still trying to figure out if it works well, and if it does, how well does it work, and for how long is it likely to continue to work well etc. My last attempt to make sub H1 work!

For what platform?

Plunging (shorting) is far less stressful for me, as there is far more chance that there will be gaps down, than the typical steady climb up. Sure, sometimes there can be gaps up if price is climbing quickly and for a reason such as after a news release or a sudden break above R, but not generally i don't think. I feel justified in favouring longs over shorts. However, if i get 2 signals on 2 instruments on the same candle, one long & one short - trading only 1 at a time on the shorter timeframes, i don't automatically pick the short - i look to see which choice makes most sense in the context of the overall chart. If they look about even stevens, i'll go with the short.

18000 in 60 days as a stat perhaps also does the site more justice than it deserves. I reckon theres probably been no more than 100 regular posters in those 60 days, maybe far less....

Perhaps if the advertisers actually read the quality of the general member contributions and the fact that so many are none trading related these days, they would reconsider sponsoring the site as an effective means of selling their product. As it stands its still a cash cow for the owner..... How did u edit that label by the way?!! PS. Apologies if i'm helping derail this thread!

I have pretty much the same mindset. It seems to me that prices can collapse down with gaps, more easily more often, than they tend to rise. It would be interesting to know some actual stats on this in terms of seconds/minutes/pips movement etc. as perhaps there is a possiblity that i am over imagining the significance of the difference between rise/fall speed/ease.

Still, if thats a bad week (looks pretty good)......Its like a good sports player/team - they can play badly & still win!

Make sure you're using firefox, if you're not already. I use FF & had no chatroom issues earlier today, while 1-2 users were experiencing issues. Not sure what browser they were using.

The TL chatroom is superb. TL is now kicking T2W's a***! :beer:

I won't be posting that much on here, i don't expect (at present anyway). But when I do, it will be purely trading related. This will ensure that I do my part to help keep the content free from sludge, and that TL remains a serious, concise, professional community for serious traders - which seems to be the ethos espoused from the top down...... No point in all us T2W expats, bringing all our baggage and T2W buddies here, and then turning TL into another T2W now is there! Happy trading!

I was going to change my TL username to JTrader, matching my T2W username, however, there's already a jtrader here at TL.

its good to see people keeping the same names, and/or avatars/signatures. Easier to make associations that way, without havin to recall TL/T2W usernames etc.

No problems DB. As you may have guessed, due to me retaining the same signature & avatar, I am JTrader. Perhaps i should have kept the same name.....I may change it so they match....we'll see.....
