Review Of Strategic Tips on Forex Signals In Forex Forum

Helloo Folks,
We thank God for bringing us to the begining of another ***** new week and we give Him the

glory in ALL things..

This is Stallion,veteran forex trader and mentor. I would be reviewing strategic tips on how the major currency pairs can be milked. Though I specialize in gbpusd, other pairs would also be taken into consideration during our analysis.

It has been theorized that your state of mind will dictate your trading methods. Experts in the field of trading psychology have pinpointed three main states of mind and how each has a direct effect on a trader's profitability.

These three mind states are "having", "doing" and "being". Psychologists have noted that those new to trading start with a "having" state of mind. As they gain more experience, they move on to a "doing" state of mind. The pinnacle of profitability occurs when a trader moves into the last and final "being" frame of mind.



The "Having" Mind Set
A novice trader may focus primarily on profits. In this "having" state of mind, they are out of sync with the markets. They are blinded by their obsession to obtain the all mighty dollar and what it can afford them. Trading is not viewed as a job that must be mastered, but as a vehicle to escape from a world of mediocrity.

Many traders are in the business to make money, as well as they should be. However, if they are blinded by greed, they tend to take uncalculated risks. Looking at the potential payoff without carefully calculating market trends and other factors is a recipe for disaster.

It is impossible to graduate to a high performance level when you concentrate on "having" instead of how the game is won. If you trade in a "having" frame of mind, you may become frustrated when profits are not immediately forthcoming. With frustration comes a lack of focus. Without the ability to focus, you cannot gain knowledge from your experience on the trading field.

Other negative consequences of this mindset are feelings of frustration and anger. Frustration stemming from a lack of expected profits and anger directed at oneself or the market in general. These adverse emotions will only cause further decline in profitability. Without witnessing gains from one's efforts, an individual may not give their best and may be tempted to "throw in the towel".



The "Doing" State of Mind
If an individual continues on to trade another day, they will eventually move from a "having" to a "doing" state of mind. Learning that there is more to trading than the amassing of money, a trader will turn their focus on learning new methods of trading and what does and doesn't work.

This state of mind is still primarily centered on how to turn a profit. Although a "doing" mind state is essential to becoming a seasoned adept trader, the main focus is still short of the mark. It is crucial to know what works and what doesn't. However, a skilled trader will tell you there is more to the business then choosing one method and using it arbitrarily to make trades across the board.

Becoming a trader of means requires not only a winning attitude, but also a fine honing of trading skills. To develop these skills, you must make trades using various methods under a wide spectrum of market conditions. Only then can you develop the needed intuition to master the art of trading.



Pinnacle of Profitability: The "Being" State of Mind
A successful trader almost instinctively knows how to make a trade using the best method available for the current market trend and/or condition. This ability does not occur overnight. It is only accomplished through perseverance, knowledge of various trading methods and learning which one works given a particular market condition.

No trade is ever a "sure thing". However, a profitable synchronicity almost naturally occurs when you are faced with a potential trade, have a feel for the current market trends and conditions, and utilize the method best suited for a potential payoff. This "being" state of mind ultimately lends itself to long-term success in the high stakes of trading.

Every long I have attempted has lost money. Every Ultrashort I have tried has been

successful (I'm not allowed to short-sell). I believe that it is folly for somebody at my

skill level to attempt longs in an overall bear market. I no longer even consider a long

trade, especially with the prospect of an impending market crash.

There are few Ultrashorts to pick from and I am sort of without a good strategy for this

particular time.

Hi art, from your comments, I take it you are talking about the stock markets (not being

allowed to short-sell)..Is the uptick rule still in force at the equity markets?
But mind you, Warren Buffet,the No 1 stock investor is said to be buying up stocks recently

at rock bottom prices...Maybe its part of the contrarian strategy he's utilizing...Start

buying when prices are low and fear pervading the markets, while selling when prices are

high and greed driving the markets..thats just my 2 cents though..




Helloo fellow traders,
The 60% buy window on the GBPUSD made an inversion to the Way of the Dragon..sorry I

ommitted in writing out the buy order entry which is shown on the charts..As at Monday

midnite, price opened the session with a bullish gap and kicked in the buy order entry @

1.5760...Before we knew it,approximately 120 pips,$120 minilot,$1200 standard lot was made

at the high of 1.5885..The blue broken line shows the buy stop entry...

http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/11/82/15/01/invert10.gif


After the pips were made, our stop loss was then adjusted to the buy entry level, where stop

loss = 1.5760 = buy entry level...

This is what we see on the next chart below as the blue broken line now converted to a red

stop loss line..Very good risk management principle..

http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/11/82/15/01/invert11.gif

Another 120 pips was also made based on the bullish gap of the inverted dragon ...

Lets just say ...today was quite profitable...

Helloo folks,
Today's price action on the gbpusd was really something to write home about..The

unemployment rate report that was released from the UK was unfavourable to the GBP.The

PREVIOUS figures was at 5.7%, while the economists'expectation was 5.8% which was equal to

the ACTUAL release..The higher the unemployment rate,the lower the value of pounds sterling

due to selling on the negative news from UK.
Although it's generally viewed as a lagging indicator, the number of unemployed people is an

important signal of overall economic health because consumer spending is highly correlated

with labor conditions;
More than 375 pips were made this wednesday from GBPUSD drop...$375 minilot..$3750 standard

lot..

[22:08:01 11/11/08] Maximus : Hi Stalion...

[22:08:29 11/11/08] Maximus : any order that are still valid...

[22:11:43 11/11/08] Stalion : sell stop on gu at 15400...1st target at 15360...2nd target at

15305...3rd target at 15285...40 pip sl

[22:11:56 11/11/08] djcarlos : 1st target of sell stop??

[22:16:15 11/11/08] Stalion : no probs...

[22:16:54 11/11/08] Stalion : max, you can enter a sell stop at 15370

[22:17:05 11/11/08] Maximus : sp now the sl is that the entry if you get the first target,

am I right or not...

[22:17:21 11/11/08] Maximus : ok Stalion...

[22:18:02 11/11/08] Maximus : same target....

[22:18:28 11/11/08] Stalion : yes

[00:48:59 12/11/08] djcarlos : I read that 1.5270 is the pivot to GU

[09:07:27 12/11/08] Maximus : Hi any trades...

[09:15:57 12/11/08] Stalion : Helloo everyone

[09:21:47 12/11/08] Stalion : not yet, max....we wait for a while....as you can see, the

market is moving back and forth for now...wouldnt do to jump in where there's no sign of a

breakout yet..

[09:22:01 12/11/08] Maximus : yes no prob...

[09:24:00 12/11/08] Stalion : one of the hardest things in trading is knowing when NOT to

trade...easier said than done..

[09:25:45 12/11/08] Maximus : yes it is so true...

[09:41:09 12/11/08] Stalion : market's slow

[09:42:10 12/11/08] Maximus : in my hiumble opinion I think that the market will break down

again with the GBPUSD...

[10:07:27 12/11/08] Stalion : so, entering at 15400 or 15370 is okay

[10:08:09 12/11/08] Stalion : remember to take half profits when +20 pips away

[10:09:20 12/11/08] djcarlos : i dont made the entry

[10:15:31 12/11/08] djcarlos : hi, i entered at 1.5350..... i come late

[10:15:45 12/11/08] Stalion : though a bit late,a sell stop at 1.5345 would be more

prudent...

[10:17:05 12/11/08] Stalion : going for our 2nd target of 15305

http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/11/82/15/01/alllgo10.gif

[10:17:39 12/11/08] djcarlos : ok, its down trend??

[10:20:10 12/11/08] Stalion : we cant tell for now...though looking at the hourly, 4hr,daily

and weekly charts shows that gbpusd have been on a prevailing downtrend..

[10:21:15 12/11/08] Stalion : price might still very well retrace back up....only time will

tell..our job is to position ourselves to take advantage of price movements when we can

[10:22:56 12/11/08] romandaw : morning

[10:23:30 12/11/08] romandaw : nb news about to come out

[10:24:24 12/11/08] Maximus : yes Stalion the gbpusd will retrace...

[10:37:50 12/11/08] romandaw : i was trading the same move without even knowing it.

I googled "uptick rule" and every search result was in a language that I don't understand.

They don't allow short-selling with IRA money. They also won't allow day-trading. Ah,

according to Investopedia, the uptick rule was eliminated June 6, 2007.

There are lots of equities just lying on the floor at bargain prices, just bubbling

sideways. Good for some profits sometime in the future, but not doing anything right now. It

looks like Forex is always active. (I know nothing about this market. Looks tricky).

I liked your zen-oriented description of the trader's frame-of-mind in your opening post in

this thread. I'm still in the first stage with some forays into the second. It is an

interesting journey.

---

Hi art,
I feel your pain...the languages coming out from those search engines on uptick rule were

kind of like finance hieroglyphics...since it had been eliminated since 2007, no worries..
yes, forex is always active with lots of volatility, but it only looks tricky when you are

not that familiar with the market.. Warren Buffet was right when he was quoted as saying

''Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing''..but you can still learn the ropes if you

are willing and committed..
Well, you dont really have to be a Zen Master, or a Yogi master, or Shaolin Master, or even

a Shambala Master, before getting ''in the flow''.. Just let yourself go..

No probs, mon ami..The pound was battered after the Bank of England said on Wednesday the British economy would shrink sharply next year, bolstering expectations that further sharp cuts in interest rates were in the pipeline.Lower interests rates means lower value of the currency due to

investors selling the low yield currency to buy higher yielding currencies.. That would

bring about a downward sell pressure on the gbpusd.

Can you experts offer me suggestions around when I should buy the GBPs? I must have them by

end-of-month December 2008, but am not sure how to get a good idea (forecasting and such) as

to when between now and 31st Dec 2008 would be the best time to exchange USDs for GBPs.

Any help that you can offer if VERY much appreciated!! :)

Thanks!!

Hi markdaniel,any relations with mark anthony??LOL..
You've just boiled it down to a simple question..What is meaning of forex?
It is the buying and selling of international currencies..I think you might need a cup of

coffee for this..
For example, 1 GBPUSD is equivalent to 1.4700 dollars..1000 GBP is equivalent to 1470

dollars USD..that is, at the international rate of 1.4700...You are using 1470 dollars to

buy 1000 pounds sterling..
But wait...The current fundamentals suggest Britain is in the throes of recession, while the

BOE is about to further slash interest rates in the nearest future..Low interest rates from

bad economic recessionary data ****ing forth from the UK is likely to pull the T-strings of

cable down south..wow..

http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/11/82/15/01/13th_n11.gif

Technical analysis wise, price have fallen way beyond the 60% BUY WINDOW on the monthly

charts,with 4 long range bearish candles going ballistic underground.. Both MACD divergences

foretells bearish movement of price on the GBPUSD..A Category Four Trendline has already

taken place..
so come December, price getting to our projected target point of 1.3090, , you BUY 1000GBP

for $1,309 dollars..since the GBP would have likely lost more value in the weeks to come..Does that mean we might be seeing a dollar rally before the end of the year 2008? Of course..just got ma fingers crossed..
I hope you now understand..
Remember, nothing is cast in stone on forex...and in life...Also do your own research before

taking any recommendations...Feel free to discuss it here..





sorry guys, that I forgot to alert you due to internet blackout in my zone..more than 300

pips,$300 minilot,$3000 standard lot was made on the sell stop of gbpusd wednesday

afternoon.., which offsetted our previous double buy stop loss of 50 pips each..making back

more than 3 times our previous loss...Well,what can I say..

Happy weekend,folks,

Someone asked me the other day what Black Friday was..And another, to her, felt her trade

that day was Black Friday becvause she had some losing trades.. Well I did some little

research on it from INVESTOPEDIA and here are some meanings of that term

1. A day of stock market catastrophe. Originally, September 24,

1869, was deemed Black Friday. The crash was sparked by gold speculators, including Jay

Gould and James Fist, who attempted to corner the gold market. The attempt failed and the

gold market collapsed, causing the stock market to plummet.

2. The day after Thanksgiving in the United States. Retailers generally see an upward spike

in sales and consider this to be the start of the holiday shopping season. It's common for

retailers to offer special promotions and to open early to draw in customers.

3. The term "black" has been used to describe other disastrous days in financial markets.

For example, on Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929, the market fell precipitously, signaling

the start of the Great Depression. The largest one-day drop in stock market history occurred

on Black Monday, October 19, 1987, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted more than

22%.

To God be the glory, our call was hit around 5 times,back to back, on yesterday's White

Friday. 70 pips,$70 minilot,$700 standard lot was made from that call..

We could actually see there was a mini head and shoulder pattern

[05:18:06 14/11/08] Stalion : sl @ 1.4010


[05:21:05 14/11/08] pipsRus : hello

[05:21:30 14/11/08] djcarlos : hi stal

[05:24:24 14/11/08] Stalion : hi pipRus

[05:24:37 14/11/08] Stalion : 2nd target hit

[05:27:54 14/11/08] Stalion : I take it you've already closed at least half of ur order, dj?

We could see a mini head and shoulderrs pasttern on the 15 minute chart, which foretold a

bearish movement..After making our 70 pips, we shifted our stop loss to the entry point of

1.4810...That was why the broken shaded blue line was now red in the second chart...

http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/11/82/15/01/white_11.gif

[05:29:02 14/11/08] djcarlos : im out it was an exelent trade arround 40 pips in my bag

[05:30:22 14/11/08] djcarlos : thanks to call me... it was exelent

[05:54:50 14/11/08] djcarlos : Stal Ill expecting for other alerts.... thanks, call me or

sms me....

[05:58:18 14/11/08] Stalion : Hey, dj, easy on the greed, okay...

[05:58:33 14/11/08] Stalion : are you not guys not okay with 70 pips?

[06:02:00 14/11/08] djcarlos : yes stal i ll be carefully... im taking profits to open a

managed account

[06:13:56 14/11/08] Stalion : hmmmm...

[06:51:24 14/11/08] Stalion : if you reentered again on our original sell entry, you

would've been smiling by now...

[10:12:44 14/11/08] djcarlos : hi stal....

[10:20:11 14/11/08] djcarlos : i was re-enter and i won 2o pips and then go out because de

waves is going up

[10:20:23 14/11/08] djcarlos : Very Happy


The stop loss on the right shoulder ensured that we are not stopped out in the present

downtrend..if price breaches that high, we should be seeing a new retracement....

http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/11/82/15/01/white_12.gif

All in all, it was a jolly Good White Friday..

So for today,Sunday the 16th of November,we await the opening bell of the Asian Session to

commence trading..

Hi ****guy, thanks for your contribution ..though presently, price on the GBPUSD is at

1.4737...it would need to go up about 400 pips before your sell stop is triggered..

So for today, we might likely see a BULLISH GAP to the upside in less than 7 hours from now.
We put a buy stop on our 60% BUY WINDOW @ 1.4765...1st target @ 1.4805..2nd target @

1.4840...3rd target @ 1.4884..sl @ 1.4700

Hey Forexgreenland

All trends from the monthly to the 5m timeframe are down. Why do you see an up-gap coming?

In other words, on what do you base your decision?

Cheers,

Smurf

Hi Smurf, the up gap is not really the issue here..Price pleased us with some lyrical

teasers.
We jus chilling.. when we popped the cable glass ceiling..like an epiphany..me and

traderji..
I based my decision due to the ''market tells''..shown on those charts..mon ami..Like I said

earlier, price was at its BUY WINDOW...MACD showing bullish divergence,123 pattern,etc..As

you go along, you'll see why I based my decision on a long call, instead of a short..

Yes, betard, I like that word ..''bounced off entry point''..like bouncy balls..At that

particular time, it looked good to short..and we got stopped out twice..

In retrospect, that might not really look like a good place to short, except for the

SCALPERS..Like Ninjas,they move in stealth, with each breath..never make their presence

felt..Price on the GBPUSD opened this Monday morning @ 1.4671..made a low of 1.4656..just 15

pips..removing 5 to 6 pip spread reduces it further..Though there was not a bullish gap in

the early hours of this morning, but a bearish gap on the open, it was just the precursor of

good times in the bullish sides..

It was like 382 pips,mon ami...close to $400 minilot..$4000 standard lot on monday..But we

got stopped out twice at 65 pips each...making a total loss of 130 pips..Subtract that from

382 pips, we get net profit of 252 pips(excluding pip spread /or charges.)..But remember, we

lost twice before we can arrive at our net profit..Such is life...If Thomas Edison can fail

a thousand times before dicovering the icandescent lamp, why are we traders soo skeptical to

losses.. Every single trade does not have to be a masterpiece..

Comment: the RSI has banged against a major resistance around 70% and is reversing down.
It is being said the pound's decline will assist GB's economy so as long as it doesn't turn

emerging market country in a global crisis and some are even starting to talk up the idea of

a currency crisis for the UK. The negative momentum that GBP has worked up at this point is

getting worrisome and may demand an official response very soon if GBPUSD moves to 1.4000

and EURGBP to 0.9000. We've been taken aback at the vehemence of the moves - the GBP crosses

are dangerous territory.

Yes,stalla, you might be quite right on that one, you know..especially with the GBP crosses

like GBPCHF and GBPJPY, aka the beast..so prudent money management during trading is very

important..

Yes, onwuka...there are some good chart patterns around...just google head and shoulder patterns, W top and bottom, wedges,triangles,pennants, etc..You could find something useful that might assist you in your trading activities..If you checked those charts, you would hardly see any indicators...every trading decision is based from the charts and patterns..no mumbo jumbo indicators or lines all over the place,,just straight from the charts..

Many of the most simplest things in life are the most profound..like hydrogen,with the atomic number of 1.
We need 2 atoms of oxygen with an atom of hydrogen, to form 1 molecue of water(H20)..Very simple but many people are not AWARE..''For the Bible says;My people Perish Due To Lack Of Knowledge/Vision''..
Until you are AWARE that YOU are the INDICATOR..YOU are the Expert Advisor...YOU are the ROBOT...YOU are the HOLY GRAIL'',,you would always see yourself as a beginner in the markets..
Until you throw off the clutches of EA's, robots,and diverse indicators, and start taking trading decisions straight from the charts,you would always tend to see yourself handicapped from reaching your goals of making profits through trading..
YOU TAKE THE DECISION...YOU TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITIES..NOT A ROBOT..FOR YOU ARE THE R-O-B-O-T!

Sorry,logoodung, you were right in the middle of the 3 low of the 1-2-3 pattern,which usually foretells a bullish bias..Problem was, you thought short, instead of long..Thats what you missed, mon ami..ohh, by the way, there was also a bullish hammer candlestick just where you went short, which formed as support to price..so where you would've gone right, as in the solution, was by putting a sell stop below the low of 1, of the 123 chart pattern,which if triggered, would confirm your bearish bias in pric e movement..

factors
do you actually put into considerations when choosing this time frame?

2)i have also noticed that the way you choose your pattern formations vary(whether 1-2-3 top

or
bottom). in some cases,you space out the distance b/w the points 1,2,and 3. And in some

cases,
the distance b/w the points are very close? Please why is this so?

3) You sometime made mention of a hammer to me. Please if i see a bearish or bullish hammer,
what does that mean or what do i expect to see?

4) "Since a doji session represents a market at a juncture of indecision, it can often be

an early
warning that a preceeding rally(rise) could be losing steam.."
My question here is this: can a doji also tell you that a preceding fall or drop is also
losing steam?

---

Trust onwuka to ask some of those deep questions...

We use what traders popularly call the TOP DOWN APPROACH..starting from the higher

timeframes(monthly, weekly, daily and four hourly), to the lower timeframes(hourly,

15min,and 5 minutes..)..As we are mainly on intraday trading,we use lower timeframes to

pinpoint entries and exits...higher timeframes are mainly used by position and swing

traders..also good for knowing the overall trend..

2..The spacing of the 1-2-3 pattern is quite irrelevant due to the fact that market dynamics

change as time progresses..trading is a function of time and space..HOW long can price

travel in a session(s)..What you are looking for is the OVERALL pattern, not the difference

in sums between the parts of the whole..

3..A bullish hammer is oulined like a hammer...where the shadow or tail is twice the length

of the real body of the candlestick..whether dark or white..it means price is pausing in

order to reverse or continue its walk..
And yes, a doji can also foretell a preceeding fall losing steam..

'The Reaction Swing is the centre of the cycle, where you can look back and then based on

this information, determine where the cycle will go in the future.Since the Reaction Swing

is where the Action ends and the Reaction begins, it marks the centre of a repititive cycle

in which the past can project the future..
In the monthly chart below, the price movement between B and C is the Reaction Swing.
A Reaction Swing begins and ends with the lowest and highest closing prices..All you need to

know are the dates of the highest closing price and the lowest closing price of the Reaction

Swing in order to move on to the next step- PROJECTING FUTURE TURNING POINTS IN THE MARKETS

CALLED REVERSAL DATES, WHERE PRICE AND TIME CONVERGE.

http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/11/82/15/01/gufrie12.gif

Subtract the low of 1.7047(C), from the high of 1.9554(B) to get a difference of 0.2507
Divide 0.2507 by 2 (half) to get a total of 0.1254
Subtract 0.1254 from the high of 1.9554 and you get a price of 1.8304 ass the centre of the

Reaction Swing.
Place a sell stop at 1.8304.When the market passes through this price, the sell stop is

triggered and you are short GBPUSD at 1.8304.That should be around august this year..
The next step is to determine the maximum possible timespan of the trade..According to TIME

PROJECTION strategies, the Reversal date(high probability turning point of its trend) is

scheduled as from 4 to 8 months from now..Those on March futures could take mental note.
Whichever comes first...1.3090 target for our price projection or 4 to 8 months in our time

projection..whichever one comes first

Quite elementary, my dear Watson..I mean, Bert..The Doggy Style move on the GBPUSD have the

potential of yielding approximately 135 pps when we put a sell stop @ 1.4922..1st target @

1.4881..2nd target @ 1.4840..3rd target @ 1.4787...if you fear a trap, you can also put a

buy stop on the same entry @ 1.4922..1st target @ 1.4945..2nd target @ 1.4970..3rd target @

1.4995..on the bullish side..USDCHF might also open on the bullish side @ 1.2225..1st target

long on the trade after the Reaction Swing ends and the current Bull run restarts.

2.For applying Mr.Crane's Reversal date projection technique of reverse and forward counts,

what is the most reliable time frame to do so. I mean I tried doing it in smaller time

frames but could not be very successful.

Thnks..your big fan..

Helloo Learning pips,
You know what your questions does to me? it challenges me...really, it does..like digging

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.

http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/11/82/15/01/monthl10.gif

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..

I have yet to find a Timing study more precise than Price to trade with despite all the hype

about Time. Time cycles dissapears at times......
Just my experience and choice I guess.

Hmmm, Mageroi, you might be quite right there..though they still have their uses..Is Time

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.

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...

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..

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.

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..

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?

Please remember to take half profits after you are +20 pips while shifting stop loss to

entry. And 15 to 25 pip trailing stop should be used after 2 nd have hit..

i dont understand ur words????/////

Helloo fasi, lets illustrate ,shall we?
For example, we have a buy stop @ 1.5000, where stop loss was 50 pips away, @ 1.4950...so our buy stop was triggered and price gets to 1.5020 or more..THAT is when you adjust your stop loss level from 1.4950, up to the buy entry level of 1.5000..then taking half profits means closing half your position(s)..if you entered with 1 minilot, you close at 0.5....if 2 minilots, you close at 1 minilot...sequentially...failure to apply this simple risk management technique while trading, is the cause of so many unnecessary losses..
Hope you now understand..

[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

[12:17:58 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...

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...

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..

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?

http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/11/82/15/01/exhibi12.gif

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.

Yes,though this time, our 75 pips on our 1st target would have offsetted any ''Black

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..

one to get hints and tips as to where we're heading, or other than that put my index finger

in my mouth , hold it high above my head and take a punt!!!

Cant be good:confused:

Lol,fxlion, at least thats a strategy...but seriously though, we shouldnt depend on just

chance or others to make money in trading...The beauty of the CHART PATTERN RECOGNITION AND

PRICE PROJECTION STRATEGY is that you dont need to cram your screens with all sorts of

indicators because entries and exits are taken DIRECTLY FROM THE CHARTS.

Yes, you are right, mon ami...Price on the GBPUSD made a high of 14991, which was 8 pips

less than our 1st target of 14999..by placing your stop loss at entry point after +20 pips

ahead, you would have been stopped out at a profitable breakeven of 31 pips or less..Not too bad..

Stallion, I am having a hard time following your past calls. Where exactly can I find them.

I have a time difference and I'm trying to make proper adjustements prior to trading. You

start calls around 1am my time. Please let me know where on the website I can find an

archive. Also, from reading your posts you suggest to take half profit at 20 pips, then move

other half to break even s/l, if 1st target hit then sell half and so on. Is this correct

and holds true for all your calls? Thank you for the help. I should be up and running on new

year, I see big market swings coming our way.


Thanks for your mail,pips...I thank God for the positive mental attitude displayed in your

comments about the New Year..If we can make profits during the most volatile 3 months in

trading (October to December), then there's good reason to expect better things to come in

the nearest future.
I assume London Session starts 1am your time, depending on where you are in the US. The

archives can be found here:

Review Of Strategic Tips On Forex Signals In Forex Forum

It would be better to take off half profits when +20 pips, rather than waiting for 1st

target to hit..Time and tide, along with price,waits for no man..
Robert Kiyosaki, of the Rich Dad Poor Dad series,talked about the stock market burst some

ears ago, along with its effects on baby boomers and their Social Security program. Even

though he gave out some suggestions on how to avoid that pitfall by personal development and

education, most people then castigated him as a fraud who just wants to sell his books and

seminars. From what is going on in the global economy and the US, it appears he has been

vindicated.

ABC News: Will We Be Forced to Work Until Death?

Late last year, on one of the popular Nigerian forums, I predicted the Nigerian Stock

index(NSE) have reached its top and suggested readers should cover their positions and

unload their stocks. But as at then, the bulls were in control, stock newsletter and article

writers were fueling the bubble frenzy and screaming ''BUY''..
The young admin of the forum, maybe out of ignorance and emotional bias, reacted by banning

all forex traders off his site. But that didnt stop the stock market bubble to burst and

uneducated investors losing substantial amount on their equity. Those that took the time,

money and energy to understand and educate themselves on market behaviour saved themselves

from the bearish drop and even made profits from the decline.
In essence, as investors,we should strive to invest in ourselves.No one knows it all. Most people made money in the Great Depression of the 1930's..We can too..


Hi Stal,

First of all thanks for pointing me to forexpeacearmy as it is a very good source of forex

information. I have been going through the broker reviews and feel like it has stopped me

from taking a wrong decision. I have managed to shortlist a few which I beleive are honest

as per the reviews.

Your comments or experiences on any of these would be very helpful, especially if u could

point one or two which I can go live with.
1.MB trading
2.Ikon-Royal
3.Tradeviewforex
4.Alpari Uk

Any help and insight would be highly appreciated..

Thanks,

Helloo there...
Well, it would be unseemly if I publicly endorse any of the brokers due to conflict of

interests.So am throwing it out in the open...Anyone that has comments or experiences with

any of these is free to post it here. Thanks once again.


so for wednesday, we put a buy stop pn GBPUSD @ 1.4740...1st target @ 1.4765..sl @ 1.4715...

also a sell stop @ 1.4700..1st target @ 1.4671...2nd target @ 1.4665..50 pips sl

Season's Greetings to everyone,
If you check out our chart above, you could see price moving dynamically from left to

right..we first followed it with our buy stop that yielded 30 pips, and the sell stop that

yielded 35 pips..
The present buy stop @ 14705, 1st target @ 14730, 2nd target @ 14745, sl @ 40 pips away, is

anticipated to yield 40 pips or so..more like chess.

For readers of this thread, I want to say a big thank you for everything...

To show my gratitude, I am giving out 2 e-Books titled

1 The Art Of Creativity
2 Fibonacci Trading - How To Master The Time and Price Advantage

Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year, my friends..and may the New Year 2009 bring hope,

joy,health,love,and success to all.

Helloo there,folks,
Price made a BULLISH GAP on the start of the Asian session, and before we knew it, more than

40 pips was emancipated from our buy entry of 14705..

http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/11/82/15/01/trible10.gif

Even the 60% BUy WINDOW was negated as price on the GBPUSD dropped more than 200 pips

afterwards from the TRIANGLE PATTERN shown above.

Well, what can I say?

holidaying and markets have settled down some what!

But thats just what I am thinking!

Well, fxlion, maybe a lil positive mental attitude thinking might be in order?

the opposite for the sell but it's the same and i always lay those pips no loss


But after reading all your posts i might consider sitting in front of the screen and make

bigger profits .

My profits are big because i increase the lot size when my analysis gives higher probability

and i lay $200+ a day using it .


best of luck and again great job

but why aren't you drawing your fibo levels on the charts or you don't want it to look complicated ? :blink:

---

Helloo moneyadd, thanks for reading all my posts...trying to make the time to read them myself..lol..fibonacci are great support and resistance levels that can be used in trading to ascertain price movement..but even with the knowledge of 'fibo'' levels, many traders still make losses..prefer the 60% windows which are more simpler and accurate in my personal opinion..remember KISS? Keep it simple,Smarty..so its about applying the right tools for the right markets...not all size fits all in trading..

If you check out our chart below,we used the TRIANGLE PATTERN, more specifically, the SYMMETRICAL TRIANGLE PATTERN. but why is it called a triangle? Because it looks like one..Triangles usually form part way through a strongly trending move and represents a congestive phase in the marketplace. These patterns are important because they are typically followed by sharp increases or declines in price. An established triangle pattern is a valuable signal prior to a relatively predictable price change.

http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/11/82/15/01/some_m11.gif

Yesterday, we made more than 200 pips from our symmetrical triangle which was part of our live practical trading.

1.4770-1.4576=0.0194
1.4651-0.0194=1.4457(target point)

Symmetrical triangles,which are lines connecting peaks and troughs tend to converge at the apex which is at the centre of the pattern.When price breaks outside of the pattern, there is a high probability that the price will trend in the direction of the breakout.Once price hit our target for more than 200 pips, it now retraced upwards,. Our buy stop @ 14507 caught the bullish correction for 75 pips..

http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/11/82/15/01/some_m12.gif

Price then retraced downward again to our previous short target of 14457, hitting it twice..

http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/11/82/15/01/some_m13.gif

Before we knew it, price knocked 3 times and slipped downwards where our sell stop was on hand to take the move...''come to papa''..

http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/11/82/15/01/some_m15.gif

So moneyadd, hope you now understand...actually, my clients dont really want to know the process or method in which trading takes place...all they are concerned with is whether we make money at the end of the month,recession or not..thats the primary objective..making money.

After threatening the customer support people they are now responding on time.

But still i have not come to know why online clients face such problems.

sorry about that, jeff...try and look for a better and more honest broker...Even if you got the best strategy in the world, the choice of brokers is pertinent for the realization of your trading goals.

Helloo needinfo,central bank intervention is the buying and selling of currency, foreign or domestic, by central banks in order to influence market conditions or exchange rate movement for fiscal or monetary policy purposes.

Why should the Bank of Japan intervene for a strong dollar? Because it is to their best interests. Japan, as we all know, is an export driven economy and if the Japanese yen is stronger than the dollar, it hurt their exports and consequently their economy. Why import 15000 dollar cars from Japan when you can get it cheaper right there in America? Why import expensive electronics, computers,due to a strong yen, when you can get it cheaper from America itself, or even China or India?

But wait..Japan is also a savings oriented economy, in which, majority of the US international papers or debt are held by it...So the Japanese are not thrilled to watch the value of their investments in the US bond,Treasuries and Capital markets go down the drain as the US dollar weakens..

The USDJPY monthly chart below shows the decline of the currency pair..

http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/11/82/15/01/dollar10.gif

Compared to EURUSD(eurodollar), which is on an uptrend,a strong dollar would have a weakening impact on the euro, popularly known in international financial circles, as the ''antidollar''.. Even Trichet, the President of the EU Central Bank(ECB) might likely welcome the gesture of the Japanese with open arms, because a strong dollar would weaken the euro and save them the unsavoury task of slashing interest rates in the nearest future..You could do more research if it affects your personal finance or business objectives, need

info..Did I hear someone say ''Don ichiban''?

Let me whisk you away to the forex charts on the DISSECTION OF A TRADE GONE WRONG. Remember the loss was also important though the LESSONS LEARNT from the loss are MORE IMPORTANT.
Now we are going into the reasons why we took a buy stop at that point..
A 123 bottom formation was observed prior to the alert given out, along with an inverted head and shoulder pattern forming at the bottom...Both are reversal pattern telling us that price is about to reverse from its downtrend to an uptrend.

MACD also made a positive convergence to price which was a buy signal..For the our fib fans out there, a la moneyadd, price made a turnaround on the 30% window, instead of the 60% sell window..which is not that unusual given the strong trend downward in price..

So it was more of a matter of TIMING, rather than STRATEGY. We might be right in taking a trade based on what our strategy is telling us, but if the timing is off bat,we take the loss...In this instance, we lost 50 pips yesterday..the market is always right..quite an humbling experience, isnt it?

http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/11/82/15/01/tanks10.gif

So for today, wednesday, price finally came around and rocketed past our 3 targets like a valkyrie..technical analysiswise, our strategy was sound but the timing was off...price then compensated us with more than 105 pips..$105 minilot,$1050 standard lot on GBPUSD.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS and we give thanks to God for seeing us through a bumpy 2008..WELCOME

Hi radatats, I can see your chart was taken from the GBPUSD daily..The cable have been

staring at its bottomless pit like a deer in front of headlights for months now. Like the

picture suggests, GBPUSD has to break that upper resistance trendline before a reversal can

be said to take place.. And by price closing above the No 2 level of the 123 bottom( where

your 2nd purple arrow was), an uptrend can be said to confirmed in the midterm.MACD positive

divergence to price can also be seen on your chart which foretells a probable bullish run.
But remember, technical analysiswise,the trend is still down and traders are looking to sell

at any good upward correction level. I see no changes..''Buy the dips, Sell the

rallies''..ratatatata..thats just the way it is..

Tsk tsk tsk tsk...ur enjoying my threads and still trying hard to understand it all? Nice

If one of your New Year resolutions is to invest in yourself positively and creatively, I'll

be glad to help in that respect, mon ami..Please pm your email address so I can send it to

you,ok..Thanks..

So for today, Friday the 2nd of January 2009, we are looking at GBPUSD 15 minute chart where

TA wise, price is supposed to make a turnaround to the downside..while fundamentally, price

is supposed to go up due to the lower expectations of the US ISM reports coming out 4pm

Nigerian time.. so in less than 10mins from now, news is coming out...To Be Or Not To Be? TA

or FUNDAMENTALS?
we put a sell stop on GBPUSD @ 14515..1ST TARGET @ 14490..2ND TARGET @ 14465..14415...
Also a BUY stop @ 14535..1st target @ 14575..2nd target @ 14515..3rd target @ 14655..50 pip

Yes it is,Strategist...The name is the CHART PATTERN RECOGNITION AND PRICE PROJECTION STRATEGY. I dont mean to brag, but its one of the best techniques any dedicated trader could use to be profitable in the markets..I get invited to speak on international traders conferences on this strategy..at least,thats shows how good it is. Though it is not 100% perfect neither is it the ''Holy Grail'',you can be rest assured that your trading performance would get the required EDGE to beat the markets,especially in the long term.

Quote from TradeViper:

forexgreen, very smart to show only 71% positive trade rate, not an outrageous number

like 90%, but not too low. Now if the statement was audited and certified by an

internationally known firm, I think it might just matter. By the way, where are Mandel and

Reaver????

http://i42.servimg.com/u/f42/11/82/15/01/tadada11.gif

Tradeviper,your venom is simply out of this world, you know..seems you really took the time to go through my performance report over the last 3 months of turbulent trading. Actually, I didnt even know it was up to 71%, so you must be a good statistician. You can manipulate the figures but you cant manipulate the graph of the detailed report.Check the graph below the figures again and see if they match.Even if alien extra terrestians fly down with their UFO to audit the report, there would still be doubting Thomases..so I'm not bothered.
Look at Madoff..Are you trying to tell me that 'internationally known firms' didnt audited his reports over a decade before +$50 billion was ripped off? some say Steven Spielberg, who
was one of the 'casualities', might get sued by Madoff for the rights of the pending
Hollywood blockbuster film chronicling the scandal.
I believe in honesty and ethics in my chosen path..Trading is a vocation where many are
called but few are chosen.I've paid my dues and am still paying my dues in this
industry,tradeviper..easy on the hiss,plzzz
By the way, Who are Mandel and Reaver? Sounds like Beavith n Butthead?


[09:30:38 05/01/09] Stalion : helloo fellas

[09:31:09 05/01/09] Stalion : no news worthy item for Monday so we stick to our friday's

short call

[09:34:59 05/01/09] Learning_pips : hi stal

[09:38:18 05/01/09] Learning_pips : its quite funny though in carolyn's book there is a

mention of a gartley pattern which is a complete opp of the 1-2-3 pattern

[09:40:45 05/01/09] Stalion : hmmmm....havent had time to read it myself

[09:42:19 05/01/09] Learning_pips : its chapter 8, two step pattern..she identifies the

1-2-3 pattern/gartley pattern as a continuation pattern..quite interesting..

[09:42:46 05/01/09] blue : hi

[09:42:55 05/01/09] Stalion : gartley pattern on fibonnacci?

[09:43:05 05/01/09] Learning_pips : just goes to show how many ways patterns can be

interpreted by different people

[09:43:16 05/01/09] Stalion : helloo there blue

[09:43:46 05/01/09] Learning_pips : basically fibs have to applied on the pattern to

identify a cluster

[09:45:03 05/01/09] Learning_pips : "The two-step trade setup is a zigzag pattern that

corrects a prior trend"

[09:45:09 05/01/09] Stalion : range/consolidation pattern? can u identify it on a chart?

[09:45:44 05/01/09] blue : Stalion im new here

[09:46:04 05/01/09] Learning_pips : basically the pattern is exactly the same as a 1-2-3

pattern but she says that its a continuation pattern

[09:46:10 05/01/09] Stalion : cool....howz trading, blue?

[09:46:26 05/01/09] blue : Stalion not so gud

[09:47:18 05/01/09] Stalion : meaning d downtrend would continue? can you give us an example

on a live chart?

[09:47:24 05/01/09] Learning_pips : so according to her once we have points 1 and 2, we can

apply fibs to identify a cluster where 3 would be and the price after it reaches 3 would

continue its decline if we take 1-2-3 as a bottom

[09:47:55 05/01/09] Stalion : how do you mean, blue?

[09:48:35 05/01/09] blue : Stalion im bearing a lot of loss for past few months

[09:48:36 05/01/09] Learning_pips : well there are numerous examples n the book, i am trying

to establish it in the live charts..will keep u posted..any insights on today

[09:50:41 05/01/09] blue : Stalionim so tense now a days

[09:50:49 05/01/09] Stalion : whatabout strategy?

[09:51:48 05/01/09] blue : Stalion actually i was just trading by my own mind and short

trade with the stop but mostly i faced my stop hit

[09:52:48 05/01/09] Stalion : as in, what is ur strategy in which you've been using all

those while?

[09:53:21 05/01/09] blue : Stalion actually i just watch chart with 1 hourly candle and its

spread

[09:59:07 05/01/09] Stalion : hey, dats not a strategy ,blue...just a hourly candle and

spread? did you take any training before going live?

[09:59:07 05/01/09] Maurizio77 : morning all - happy new year

[09:59:13 05/01/09] blue : hi im from pak

[10:00:13 05/01/09] blue : Stalion unfortunately im not trained and thts why im so tense

[10:11:47 05/01/09] realjimmy : such a good day!!! you guys win??

[10:13:13 05/01/09] Learning_pips : no jimmy..missed it

[10:17:03 05/01/09] Stalion : blue, in trading, you have to be trained for you are going

against professionals that have been in the game for years and know what they are

doing...its like a novice trying to play in the Champions League..no chance of winning if

you are not aware of the rules of d game

[10:29:49 05/01/09] Stalion : also using different free signals from different sources on ur

live account is only asking to get blown out on margin call...no accountability or

committment from both sides..

[10:34:59 05/01/09] Maurizio77 : reckon we'll be seeing a breakout on eur/jpy soon

[10:40:46 05/01/09] Stalion : for euroyen, we put a sell stop @ 127.49...1st target @

127.25..2nd target @ 127.08...50 pip sl

[10:51:22 05/01/09] Stalion : well, for now, no buying stop since we are looking for eurjpy

to go down in the short term...dats why the sell stop

[10:54:14 05/01/09] Learning_pips : stal the eurjpy entry is 1-2-3 if i am not worng?

[10:57:27 05/01/09] Stalion : 1st target hit on eurjpy..take half profits and move stop loss

to entry

[10:58:52 05/01/09] Stalion : the 123 pattern has already been fulfilled with the high at

128.49...

dynamically,pips..

[11:02:16 05/01/09] Learning_pips : i just checked, our entry point was at 60% sell window

of the previous swing..nice!

[11:04:55 05/01/09] Stalion : cool...great start to the week...and for the New Year..

It's so easy for a novice to get overloaded with information that instead of making a head

way in their quest to make more money, they simply sucks and cannot function as they should.

Don't get me wrong but the original thread is something for a novice like me to really put

into consideration.

Thanks for the tip [/QB]

Hi Julie...thanks for your mail...you are right when you mentioned the ''paralysis by

analysis'' factor that disable the functions of majority of the traders due to information

overload.In pursuit of the quest for profits, most of us tend to disregard the knowledge,

patience and determination required to come out on top in any field of endeavour,instead we

only focus on money..''how much can I make daily?''...I deserve a 100 pips dropping like

clockwork each and every day''... Stay with me here,viola, there's a madness to the method

and method to the madness..Its called the LAW OF DETACHMENT...thanks once again for your

comments, julieviola


Hey forexgreenland, we have missed you at NIGERIA BEST FORUM . NBF.

So if you choose one strategy, then work for it.. But if you want to use the two, then

that's better.. Combination of these two methods could give you too much advantage.

Nice observation, dollarfinder...I concur with your findings...There's no 100% perfect

system, whether technical analysis or fundamental news analysis..What matters most is proper

RISK MANAGEMENT in trading.. How long can your equity last if your system is on a losing

streak? How far can you go when the market goes schizophrenic over a period? 5 trades? 20

trades? 50 or a 100 trades before margin call...Hot situation makes a nice one, whatchu

gonna do...call 911?That is what majority of the professional traders focus on when

trading...Even in cooking, recipes of dishes are added proportionally, instead of putting

the ingredients all at the same time.. That proportional blending eventually brings about a

nice savoury dish....yumm yumm..Anyone hungry?

Darn hayabusat,easy on the boobs fixation,okay...or you want to change the title of ''Sex in

mostly commences during the London Session where you have less range activity and more

stable volatility.

Also i want to develop a good entry and exit method while trading so that i will not enter

Please advise

Helloo there Onwuka, nice to get your mail... We thank God for everything..We should also
know there are times we shouldnt ignore our personal needs in order to satisfy others
needs..A burnt out Stallion is of no good to himself or to the people..just cant give out
from an empty cup whether you see it half filled or empty..so creative silence or quiet time
is essential for each and every human being..Mind you, you dont have to be a hermit
hibernating in a cave or a monk in the Himalayas before you get the centre of balance
within.. seems your questions have been asked before, and the answer was given..most times,
I often had to go back and read through the whole thread so as to get a better perspective
of where we are coming from and where we are
going..

To summarize, trendlines are connected from the current resistance/support high or low to
the previous resistance/support high or low of the candlebars.
It is also connected, if using MACD,between the current peak(highs) to the previous peak or
between the current trough(lows) and previous troughs of the MACD line. When the price
trendline is ascending in an uptrend and MACD trendline is descending in a downtrend, it is
called NEGATIVE DIVERGENCE.. When price trendline is downward and MACD trendline is upward,
it means POSITIVE DIVERGENCE.

Good entries and exits are also strategies that depends mainly on risk management principles
like risk to reward ratios.Most newbie traders/sportsmen wants to know the tricks...instant
gratification without expenditure of responsibilty..Your entries might be good but whatabout
whipsaws?what if you had perfect entry but the timing of the move sucks?How much are you
prepared to risk if the ''perfect entry'' does not manifest? Those are questions we should
ask ourselves before and during trading..

6. Does the company offer telephone support

9. What is the charting like
10. How long has the company been in business
11. What reputation does it have in the forums
12. Trading style and order types
13. Micro, mini and regular account spreads
14. Interest on the account
15. Hedge trades allowed
16. Rollover
Once you have your answers it is so important to select a broker which matches your trading
style - it is pointless opening an account with a broker which is classified as a market
maker and then expect to be able to scalp - you will not be able to do so because spreads
widen alarmingly when the markets are volatile.

So CFDs(Contracts for Difference), are cash settled derivatives that reflect their
underlying markets like stocks, futures or forex contracts.CFDs can easily be traded short,
transaction speeds are usually fast, and they have low margin specifications, like 10% for
shares, 5% for share indices,5% for futures and 2% for currencies.They are also generally
open ended, as in, they have no expiration dates like options, commodities or warrants.
Another thing that makes CFDs stand out is they are available for diverse underlying markets
like the US, UK AND European shares CFDs, sector CFDs like Banks, Real Estate,Oil and Gas,
as well as forex and futures pairs.

Helloo nasir.khan...any relation with genghis or kublai khan? anyways, you can just use the
standard settings on your platform, which is usually 12,26,9.. You could still tweak the
settings and compare the changes on the MACD indicator to price above...whichever one fits
your style is okay...

Hmmm, this sounds like a counterattack from one of the feminine species,not just a welcome
party....Somebody stop me!You want to know why, mami? It is because those chats and charts
mainly represents a reflection of operations in the trading trenches..reflects trading minds
at different levels in which enlightening market themes and principles can be glimpsed and
learnt from..
At the risk of getting my eyes scratched out by our female folks, there are some
observations on the gender aspect to trading.females are less willing to take risk but more
willing to stick to their rules..Alpha male stereotypes tend to do the opposite..too much
machismo, too much ego on the line...brings about stumbling blocks to our trading life..so
if good traders are consistent at abiding to their rules and not taking unnecessary risks,
the ladies should do better in their pyschological makeup to trading. So guys, we got a lot
to learn from our womenfolk..thanks for your constructive criticism, Anne

Hi khairu, the red and blue lines you see on the chart is brought about through putting up a

buy or sell order, which reflects on the ''graph''...To write out a text, just click the

''Insert'' tab above, next to ''View'' tab on your MT4 platform.. There, you can also

experiment with trendlines, shapes, arrows, fib, gann..etc...just play around with it first

and see how it translates on your chart.


So for today, Teusday, we could see a head and shoulder pattern on the GBPUSD 15 min

chart,so we are looking for a bearish move down south...wow..
Sell stop on cable @ 14614...1st target @ 14565..2nd target @ 14535..50 pips stop

loss...Take half profits when +20 pips ahead, then shift stop loss to sell entry level.



[QUOTE=Fxcool;22843] Hmmm the chart is showing breakout for short sell

Cool..Fxcool...if it breaks our triangle to the downside, we are looking at a short sell,

like you said..but if price breaches the ''HEAD''(1.4775) level of the Head and shoulder

pattern, then we might be seeing the continuation of a new uptrend..so buy stop at

14775..1st target @ 14825, 2nd target @14865..50 pip stop loss

Hi

When you specify limits or stops, does it always work.

Marike says, "Hi Sylvester, I am a south african girl and very interested in learning how to trade forex. Is there anyone in Johannesburg or website that can teach me the basics in trading because I have NO experience. Thanks Marike.". Hi Marike, sorry I'm in Lagos,Nigeria and am not yet familiar with anyone in johannesbourg,SA that could teach you the basics...You can try www.babypips.com, and www.forexfactory.com, where some forex basics are posted. Thanks once again. Maximum wrote Hi Sylvester, I was watching your alpari account that you provide on your site and I was like very surprise when I saw that the account when from 9500$ to less then 7000$, what happen, there was a big loss of 1000$ for one trade, could you explain to me please.... thx Max Helloo Max, Thanks for your mail...The drawdowns were brought about by my divided focus lately, for I'm about completing my new forex book which has a deadline of a couple of weeks. This new project, which had been postponed so many times earlier,has taken up my time for dedicated trading...like a tradeoff, I might have to suspend market action for a short period in order to fully concetrate on the task at hand...which is writing and publishing this expository manuscript, without much external distractions. So max, dont worry,once my new project is completed, I;ll pick up from where I left off, presumably in a month's time...so as to give my usual undivided focus back on real time trading.. Thanks for your concern, my friend....please ask any questions or comments you might feel like communicating in the meantime..

MACD had a bearish convergence with price which gave us a clue that the cable was going down. Support was already broken at that point and it was a free fall of 93 pips that we had.

This Friday, we are seeing GBPUSD MOVING DOWN YET AGAIN, AFTER A BULLISH RUN UP...WHAT IS TO

BE? TO BE OR NOT BE?

Sell stop on GBPUSD @ 1.5310…..

Any new signals around so far? It would be really nice if there will be something recent so in the end, it would benefit both sides. https://imagicon.info/cat/3-5/smile4.png

Forex is an investment with high risk. The velocity of money in the forex daily reach trillions of dollars. Now with even small capital we can invest in forex. Besides the reliable forex broker is also an important factor. As long as I make use of brokers alpari they always provide good support, among others, providing daily trading analysis and online customer support.

What do you think ? It is very good
