Hi wasp, I have been re-reading your Journal with great interest, mainly because I have recently started using a stop and reverse 60 min candle system, which has great similarities with your use of hma's. What I like is the binary nature of such systems -there is either a signal or no signal...

hi t_d, did this breadcrumb fall off the plate, slip the leash, and then fall through the crack in the floor? Can you develop the theme of trend a little more? There is much confusion between trend (peaks and troughs) and bias (the direction of the price bars in the last 2 or 3 bars). Say a...

a question hi bb and ampro, just following this stuff about divergences. Looking at eurusd, I can see the lower peaks in the macd and osma also, but this doesn't strike me as a short situation. How does this divergence differ from the ones on cable? (One answer I can see is that euro is not...

Thanks for the running commentary, bb, this a really helpful way of describing the flow. I have a couple of questions. At what point do you decide that price is not in a range anymore? Or, going back a step, is the fact that price is in a range relevant at all to you, or do you just follow...

Might just be a platform thing. I just want to check that I have got the hang of this, and that I'm looking at the same thing you are. Is this what you are referring to?

Thanks for the reply bb, I am beginning to see how you approach this. This way of describing price flow is making a lot more sense to me now. Looking back on the day, the 08:15 BST high at 2.0492 is a classic reversal point, (although to me only in hindsight :)). Price moves out of the...

Hi bb, a question, if I may How, or what candle patterns, did you use to decide A-B on the 15 min was a SBR zone? I ask because after this had formed, I discounted it as SBR, on the grounds that the remaining 2 bars in the formation were inside bars. So, internal to the formation, there was...

Friday push up hi bb, Thanks for your commentaries, which I find really useful. I started the Friday session looking for shorts, on the premise that the overnight trend on the 30 min had been down. The break of the 250 level with feeling put me right about that. At what point did you consider...

thanks Hi bbmac, thanks for taking the time out to explain this perspective. By annotating the cable chart over a couple of days, you have managed to add some concrete detail to what can be quite tortuous when explained purely in terms of higher highs and higher lows etc. Much appreciated.

Hi Citizen......... (or should that be "Hail!") Interested to read what you have written about DDE from MT4. I have just started doing this, using the information primarily to enable me to get equal risk positions across different currency pairs. However, looking at the information available in...

I've often thought that our monkey brains find it very difficult to deal with a non-stop flow of information. Maybe an evolutionary trait? Hence the desire to split it up into chunks and compare one bit with another bit (byte??)

Anybody read this........................about Takers and Leavers? http://www.ishmael.com/Origins/Ishmael/

Hi jacinto, Currently see price as oscillating about a RN 9300 axis, and am waiting for a resolution of a triangle. I have attached a 5 min chart of the overnight as well, which is quite interesting. I am trying to stop thinking in terms in terms of buyers and sellers. For every buyer there...

I've been thinking about it some more. Trying to understand process and intent. And trying to find another way of looking at it. In my head, I turned it into a practical 3D scenario, because that 's the way I think (allegedly) , or "watch the movie" I sometimes call it :lol:. Like this...

so what are "weak" hands and "strong" hands? The words carry an emotional charge and I am not sure if the behaviour of these particpants is congruent with this connotation. Are weak hands the small dogs, the retail traders, and the strong hands the big dogs, the institutional traders? Does...
