down the well of yourself..believe me guys, these questions are NOT easy, though
simple..neither is understanding market behaviour or ''tells'' for consistent
profitability..
So we go back to our monthly charts on the GBPUSD..remember last time, we talked about a
reversal date of 4 to 8 months from now, for the cable..in which , price would have reached
a high probability turning point from its downtrend to (A) an uptrend reversal or (B), a
sideways consolidation or range in which the market is not ready to reverse but would
continue trading in the same direction as the current trend.So price on cable has a maximum of 9 months to show a reversal, according to the Reversal Date technique.
We shouldnt mix the concept of the Reaction Swing and Projected Reversal Date with the 60%
buy/sell windows. The R.S is mainly used for TIME PROJECTIONS while the 60% buy/sell windows
are more useful in the realm of PRICE PROJECTIONS.Now look at BC, the Reaction Swing where
we got the centre of the circle in which the past can project the future..though price would
have triggered our centre of the Reaction Swing @ 1.8300..it made a turnaround at the 60%
window..where the red arrow was.. Except you got very deep pockets to withstand a $1300 pip
downward move with leverage,you would've been stopped out..It was at the 2nd try, where the
blue arrow was, that price cleanly triggered the buy stop at the centre of the Reaction
Swing, and rocketed up..
Another difference is the R.S/R.D are mainly used in PRICE RETRACEMENTS, while the BUY/SELL
WINDOWS, are mainly used PRICE TRENDS..Always understand the difference, like understanding
your reality..''where Am I At In The Present Moment Of Now?'' Where Am I In The Greater
Scheme Of The Universe?Am I in a full trend or a retracement/correction?
2 Actually, you can apply those TIME PROJECTION TECHNIQUES on any timeframe, whether 5min,
15min, hourly, or weekly,etc.. The major challenge is counting those bars or candlesticks,
for the lower the timeframes, the more Reaction Swings inherent in them, and the more you do
your counts.. Since John Crane is from the futures/commodities world, most of his strategies
are different, yet similar to those in the forex world. His brilliant book, ADVANCED SWING
TRADING'', is very helpful for swing and position traders..
Hmmm, Mageroi, you might be quite right there..though they still have their uses..Is Time
Projection a core strategy of Buffetology?
Well, Mahir,
just dont overlook GOLD as an alternative asset class, that traders run to during periods of
market uncertainity.

Even lower, danew...Price on the cable have up to 9 months to prove it.
NOW,SUNDAY,our previous order is still on,.we put a sell stop on GBPUSD @ 1.5300..1st target
@ 1.5260...2nd target @ 1.5175..3rd target @ 1.5090..sl @ 50 pips away from entry..
[10:32:33 26/11/08] Stalion : we also put a buy stop on gu @ 1.5540...1st target @
1.5580..2nd target @ 1.5615
[10:33:04 26/11/08] Stalion : sl @ 40 pips away..
If you care to observe, both buy and sell stops are at the extreme end of the Thanksgiving
week range..so we call this THE MONTHOBAMA TECHNIQUE

The MONTHOBAMA TECHNIQUE
Hi mfostel,
Its quite encouraging of you to admit you've not been ****uting your trades very
well..Though some might say its just 'luck to catch a drop', it all depends on you, at the
end of the day..
Significant profits is just a MEASURE of good trading....You still have to create structures
based on your trading plan , in order to know where, when and how you went right or wrong in
your trading activities..
These structures includes your trading strategy, risk management and trader psychology..like
how do you reconcile an 80% gross profit with a 50 % relative drawdown?
How exposed are your trades for that session , in relation to your total equity? How do you
know when you are on a losing streak and how does that affect your successive trading
activities? Those, and more questions you ask yourself, would surely help in making you the
seasoned trader that you are meant to be.
P.S- As a graduate of Finance from the University Of Lagos, I would say you are building a background in news trading..as in, economic analysis and forecasts would be right up your alley..if you are real jiggy with your major.

Stocks fall sharply on consumer spending worries - Yahoo! News
If there's going to be a rebound or retracement, fasi, I think its better we put a buy stop
on cable @ 1.4900, 1st target @ 1.4935..2nd target @ 1.4985..3rd target @ 1.5135...with a
stop loss @ 1.4805...Please check your risk to reward ratio before taking any trades.

Dear Mahir,
What are the possibilities of a zero interest rates regime on the global financial terrain
in the 1st month,6th month and a year from now?
What are the possibilities of Crude oil, Gold, NYSE,NASDAQ,FTSE and other commodities in
rallying or declining in value for the 1st month, semi anually and anually?
What are the possibilities of war erupting in another economically vital hotspot/region in a
month, 6 month and a year from now.
What are the possibilities of an economical new world order, arising from the financial
Armageddon, in part, being sponsored by some media, in the short term, medium term and long
term?
Think, Man..
Your question was based on ''would be''... mine was on ''possibilities''...You need to think
of what the market might be in terms of possibilities, not in terms of ''will''.
Life is a paradox, just like the Universe, or the markets,from what Schrodinger deduced in
his atomic theories in the field of Chemistry.
No one knows the exact time when a particular event would take place,ALL the time..That is
the trading paradox..Else trading would have guarantees and the word ''speculation'' might
not exist in its glossary...
thnx buddy i got the 1st target and the all credit goes to you. can we hav a chat on some
other source????????[/QUOTE]
No probs...just check my contact info, mon ami...
Greeetings, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Due to some minor connectivity glitches for some days now,my contributions to this thread
was delayed..but I thank God for everything...
For the short term, a la mahir,we could put a sell stop gbpusd @ 1.4618..1st target @ 1.4595..2nd target
@ 1.4560..3rd target @ 1.4525..
For the medium term, we put a sell stop on GBPUSD @ 1.4465..1st target @ 1.4425..2nd target
@ 1.4385...3rd target @ 1.4305...5o pip sl away...Remember to take half profits when +20
pips away,while shifting sl to entry.

future, look into your present actions." ...Chinese Proverb

[ Me too,ddock...it has been quite a while since that chart was posted,I must say... those numbers come from the chart, where we added/subtracted the range of price from its virtual entry point..second, am not really familiar with the 3 ducks system..so cant say for now.. yea, t2wfx, we try to get better and better by the day.. Yes Lance, you can get a sample detailed performance report on my strategies as an attached file below.Just click on it ,okay...This was on a starting balance of $10k as at October this year, in which the total net profit is $3k plus..relative drawdown of 8.69% over a 3 month period..that should be approximately 10% per month on the average. Not too bad...action speak louder than words. To all the traders in the house, with style and grace...allow me to lace these lyrical possies in your purses..which price moves, would move down to bearish...the back of the keyboard is the place where you gonna me..forex questions asking...trades passing..profits blasting..but I jus cant quit...because some of these brokers need some dose of ethics, check this.. you can put a sell stop on gbpusd @ 1.4680...1st target @ 1.4655..2nd target @ 1.4635...3rd target @ 1.4540 ..sl 50 pips away...

yea, jeff, market have been pretty much volatile since the last half of this year..Nice
observation, though..
Quote from increasenow:
TO: ForexGreenLand
Great thread!
Questions for you:
1-looks like you are consumed with the GBP/USD...why only this currency?...do you trade
others?
2-do you only trade micro lots or standard size lots ever?I seen you neveer trade even 1
lot...
3-you made $3,000K since you opened the account...do you have a job or other investments you
live off?
4-where do you live and what hours do you trade Forex?
Great trading to you!!
Helloo there, increasenow,
from the tone of your comment, you seem to be hiding some heavy sarcascm beneath velvet
gloves, or shall we say , ''cat's paw''? maybe its just a reflection of your inner mental
processes at work...well, I'm in a good mood so I'll humour you for now and give you some
answers..
1- consumed with GBPUSD? What do you think this is, alcoholic consumption frenzy? Trading is a
wide field like medicine,law,or any other profession out there...it pays to specialize in
one or two currencies well and be profitable, than to be jack of all trades and master of
loss..ever heard of comparative advantage? Warren Buffet said something along the line of
diversification are for those that dont really know what they are doing...put your eggs in
few baskets as possible , and watch them like a hawk...so in order words, I trade all
currencies and I specialize on the cable, just like I said on my begining post here.
2 - I manage forex accounts ranging from tens of thousands minimum, to millions of
dollars..That sample detailed report you saw was based on how much return of investment(ROI)
gained monthly from a minimum of 10k. Due to my style of trading, risk and money management
is of top priority in the first objective of preservation of capital.
The second objective of making profits comes next.I want you to understand that in trading,
garbage in, garbage out...right thinking, right product..
Never risk more than 2% to 3% of your capital in any trade...For a 10k account, dont risk
more than 200 dollars..for a 100k account, dont risk more than 2000 dollars, for a $1m
account, dont risk more than 20k in a trade..
So in the context of this sample, why should a professional trader use 1 standard lot on a
10k account, if risk mgt suggest $200(2%) risk on a single trade for that equity ? You have
the potential of losing $2,000 on a trade, which is 20% of the 10k equity, instead of just
$200 or 2%..That 20% keeps you in the game for just 5 times, while the 2% keeps you in the
game for 50 times...Devrim, a forex trader lost 90% of his million dollar account because he
wasnt using stops...learn from the mistakes of others..maybe you should go back and read
this..
Drawdown and Maximum Drawdown? | 13th Grade: Money Management | Learn Forex Trading
The higher your equity, the better capitalized you are...Dont be fooled by adverts telling
you to trade forex for $10 or $100 or claiming you can make gazillions out of a palty amount
...doesnt work that way...from your name,increasenow,dont be greedy,
3- 3k from a 10k account in 3 months amounting to an average of 10 % monthly, is not too bad
in my opinion, considering the last 3 months have been the most volatile and uncertainity
filled period in the markets, with the global economic crises,recession troubles and bad
news transmitted everywhere.. ..
Traditionally, months from October through December, have always been very hectic for
traders...most rarely trade during the period as banks, hedge funds square off positions to
the detriment of the undercapitalized and inexperienced traders.
For the 3 month to a year period, bonds have been below 2%, Treasuries Bills rates have been
slashed to pieces and stock index have been on negative for the last 9 months now..so why
make jest of a 30% return in 3 months, if you are not a court jester?

For the record, that 10k account is just a SAMPLE of the other currency based accounts that
is being managed, amongst other investments.
4- Where do I live? Though trading is a lonely business, No stalking , please...
no probs, lancelot...

[11:49:08 10/12/08] Stalion : how was trading yesterday?
[11:51:15 10/12/08] fasi26 : i didnt trade

[11:54:56 10/12/08] Stalion : yesterday price got down to our 1st target on our sell stop, before going back up
[11:56:04 10/12/08] Stalion : but if your buy stop had triggered, you would have been stopped out....and a reentry today would get you to 1st target @ 1.4865 on our buy stop entry
[11:56:16 10/12/08] Stalion: Happy Sallah, fasi
[12:01:30 10/12/08] fasi26 : wht was the impact of obama's speech
[12:04:19 10/12/08] Stalion: didnt know he had a speech....what was it all about, fasi?

[12:17:58 10/12/08] Stalion : by pumping more money into the system through effective Reconstruction, he emplys more workers...this is like the faceoff BETWEEN EMPLOYMENT AND INFLATION...FINE, TOO MUCH DOLLARS MIGHT BRING INFLATION, BUT LOW UNEMPLOYMENT RATES ENCOURAGES GOOD CONSUMER SENTIMENT, WHICH BRINGS IN HIGHER DEMAND AND PRODUCTIVITY , WHICH TRANSLATES TO
[12:19:34 10/12/08] Stalion : BEATING THE GLOBAL SLUMP...CREDIT, THOUGH LOOKING TO BE MORE REGULATED, WOULD BE MORE ABUNDANT FOR EXPANSION...

[22:01:53 14/12/08] Stalion : also as a hedge, we put a buy stop on GBPUSD @ 1.5005..1st target @ 1.5035...2nd target @ 1.5065...3rd target @ 1.5095..both with 50 pip stop loss away
1.5034(A)-1.4815(B)=0.0219
0.6*0.0219=0.01314
0.01314+1.4815=1.4946(60% SELL WINDOW OR SELL ENTRY)
1.4988(C) - 1.4815(B) = 0.01730
0.6*0.01730= 0.01038
1.4988-0.01038= 1.4884(3RD TARGET/60% BUY WINDOW)
GIVE THE PRICE SOME ROOM..LEAVE THE PRICE ALONE; LET THE PRICE ROAM AND TWILL FIND ITS WAY HOME..

Helloo folks, price on the GBPUSD gave us some clues, technical analysis wise,on its 300 pip
move by the 1-2-3 bottom, which foretold a bullish move..coupled with the fundamental news
that the US was cutting interest rates..and voila...yumm yumm...
http://www.trade2win.com/boards/atta...4&d=1229468777

Quite right,sam...If you noticed on the chart, you could see the 1-2-3 bottom below and the
head and shoulders pattern above...They are both reversal chart patterns,telling us price
has a high probability of reversing direction from its prevailing trend..The 50 pip stop
loss was at the left shoulder, and before we know it, 200 more pips, after 3rd target, was
liberated..
Patience is a virtue,especially in the markets,right, jeff?
I been with these skills, crystal spills, hot bills, in Brazils..about African Black
Dreams..makes it hard to figure me..some traders be tickle me..like Fidel Castro..undercover
Dannie Brasco..sound like MACDs, the prayer mantis..so get a grip on the whip..playerhaters
getaway or my pen would spray..scribble off till I empty..dont tempt me..only to say I thank
thee..its all about the benjies..
@ Wise?TX
1- Would you give control of your live account to an EA? Would you board a flight across the
Atlantic with just robots to navigate and NO human pilots?
2- Google 'chart pattern recognition and price projection strategy' and see whether it is a
system or not, mon ami..THE CHART PATTERN RECOGNITION AND PRICE PROJECTION STRATEGY tells
us, to a considerable extent, where price is going and how far it might get there..
If it is not a system, how come you see these charts showing more profits than losses for
months now? Is it possible to make consistent profits WITHOUT, not just a strategy but a
SOUND STRATEGY? Or did I go and meet brokers and tell them ''hey, buddies, please fix some
green dotted entry lines and red dotted stop loss lines for the benefit of our bronco billy
cowboy"?
3- I think you need some glasses,Man...or maybe just remove the negativity and focus on this
thread with clarity of mind..1-2-3 bottoms,Head and Shoulder patterns, 60% BUY/SELL
WINDOWS,REACTION SWING, REVERSAL DATES,TRIANGLES, TREND LINES, MACD DIVERGENCES,ETC, are
shown and demonstrated here...Man, you need to stop popping too much Valium pills, wake up
and smell the roses.
4- Transcripts of live forex trading conversations are archived on forexgreenland, as a
source of practical lessons to students that are ready and willing to learn. Last time I
checked, I guess it was a free world. Meaning is relative, according to individual
perception and value, my friend.
5- Trading is a business and should be treated as such..Ever read the Parable Of the Talents
in the Bible? Please do.. Though this thread is about REVIEWS OF STRATEGIC TIPS,no one is
under any obligation to give live forex alerts as PREVIEWS. It is just to demonstrate the
effectiveness of the CHART PATTERN RECOGNITION AND PRICE PROJECTION STRATEGY.
Astonishingly, I bought John Crane's book some years ago and gained much from it..I didnt go
around thinking why he was promoting his business through his website or why should he be
offering his commodities services to traders..What I'm concerned with is''VALUE''..and the
results are clear to see..Dont be like that man in winter, next to his stove,telling it to
give him some heat...The stove said '''Wood''...The man insisted on getting heat first
before piling woods.Who's deceiving who? As you breathe in, you also breathe out..thats how
life is..
Warren Buffett, one of the smartest and most successful businessmen of our time, was
recently asked what he thought was the best investment anyone could make in these so called
difficult times.
His answer was fast and simple ...
"The most important investment you can make is in yourself."
That could very well be the best advice Mr. Buffett has ever offered. If ever there was a
time to take control of your future, it's now.
Like you said,maybe you are really missing something,tx..something spongy and mushy..If your
IQ gets below 50, SELL.. just kidding
Hi sagar, thanks for your mail.. it actually takes around 2 hours to draw and write the
charts while trading is on..for me, the thrill and challenge of multitasking helps in my
trading environment which brings a fulfilling sense of being. Posting live trades in front of a global audience, where the mainstream perception tends to be ''a trader is as good as his last trade'', is all good..for true traders makes you feel and do good. We should all strive to seek balance in all things we do.
so for friday, we could see a mini 123 bottom formation on GBPUSD15 min chart..so a buy stop
@ 1.5090...1st target @ 1.5165..2nd target @ 15244..3rd target @ 15315..sl @ 1.5015

Yes,though this time, our 75 pips on our 1st target would have offsetted any ''Black
Friday'' losses..
Helloo folks, We thank God for bringing us into a ***** new week...Most would call it the
Christmas Week so I'm wishing all a Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year ahead.
As we approach Monday, we could see 3 crosses on the GBPUSD 15m chart, the first candle
upturned. That was a region of indecision that paused price advance to the upside.To be or
Not To Be?
MACD is giving us positive divergence to price, which is more or less, a green light.
We put a buy stop @ 1.4960..1st target @ 1.4999..2nd target @ 1.5049..3rd target @ 1.5125...
Helloo fasi, you could check out the userguide on any mt4 platform..Here's an excerpt:
''Stop Loss is intended for reducing of losses where the symbol price moves in an
unprofitable direction. If the position becomes profitable, Stop Loss can be manually
shifted to a break-even level. To automate this process, Trailing Stop was created. This
tool is especially useful when price changes strongly in the same direction or when it is
impossible to watch the market continuously for some reason.
Trailing Stop is always attached to an open position and works in client terminal, not at
the server like Stop Loss, for example. To set the trailing stop, one has to ****ute the
open position context menu command of the same name in the "Terminal" window. Then one has
to select the desirable value of distance between the Stop Loss level and the current price
in the list opened. Only one trailing stop can be set for each open position.
After the above actions have been performed, at incoming of new quotes, the terminal checks
whether the open position is profitable. As soon as profit in points becomes equal to or
higher than the specified level, command to place the Stop Loss order will be given
automatically. The order level is set at the specified distance from the current price.
Further, if price changes in the more profitable direction, trailing stop will make the Stop
Loss level follow the price automatically, but if profitability of the position falls, the
order will not be modified anymore. Thus, the profit of the trade position is fixed
automatically. After each automatic Stop Loss order modification, a record will be made in
the terminal journal.''
Trailing stop is also used when your 1st target is hit and price is still going your way, up
or down..It enables you to take the maximum outreach in price movement before any major
retracement/correction. Depending on the daily range and volatility of the currency pair
that you are trading, a 15 to 35 pip trailing stop would be in order.
EURUSD has a 2 pip spread..GBPUSD has a 3 pip spread and GBPJPY has like 7 to 9 pip
spread...cable is like euro on steroids, which is more stable than pound-yen. That is where
we look for balance, the median..
Due to popular demand, a la fasi, we put a buy stop on EURUSD @ 13945..1st target @
14015...2nd target @ 14085...3rd target @ 14155...50 pip sl for both..
Yea, I know, most seasoned traders might say the general trend is down..why buy? well, in
trading, you can make money both by going with the trend, and going against the prevailing
trend..if you know what you are doing. Top football strikers learn score goals with both
feet, even under pressure...so only time will tell if it would measure..to find the buried
treasure..
