    Why are you here?

    Glad you had a good time here, even the sharks are friendly! Not like in Oz! :lol: Can't believe you managed ten pints of cold fizzy stuff - I long for a Wadworths 6X, or Theakstons Best, or anything even remotely tasty and considered warm by some philistines! ;) Q

    Why are you here?

    Well Pat494.............................. There used to be about 50m sheep here - now it's about 25 I think, so we still get a great choice! ;) As for the beer - it's terrible, apart from a few boutique models and of course some nice imports. A bit like the women I guess now that I think about...

    Ever heard of that tune......mmmmmm.....can't think of the title, but it mentioned sunscreen a lot! ;) Q

    The Darksiding of Forex

    Hi again MM, I'll attempt to answer this as it's something that I constantly battle with, as it rears it's head every time we try to analyse direction, intent, state of trend, and then from our own perspective - Risk versus Reward. Perhaps the delineation between weak and strong hands is what...

    FX 2007 > March 5th - 9th

    Not sure if it's "trading" rav, but I'm holding a short from 9331, so will see what happens. Might be a long trigger around 9195, but that's guesswork on my part! Short again below 9175, with a possible hold through "no man's land" :eek: Got a stop near b/e so not worried either way. This is...

    Very interesting Fish, as I was thinking exactly the same thing - mainly because as jacinto later pointed out it WAS his own perception that he was communicating. Also I could really see some of my own problems coming out in the language, just as my own analysis shows. What I might "feel" about...

    The Darksiding of Forex

    Hi all, Thanks for posting the mail from JJ, rols - it was very interesting. The colour thing is also very interesting and I believe I have been influenced by colour before now, which is why I use white and black candles. The grey background is meant to be soothing and calming with less stress...

    The Darksiding of Forex

    Okay then......... This is very crude, and as wasp mentioned the time frame is smaller than my norm, but a chart is a chart and it don't matter a jot what the instrument is or even what the timeframe really! I had to re-do mine as the eyes are not what they used to be but it's essentially the...

    Will be trying to do my own stuff here too, young family permitting! So may take me a while, and I'll be avoiding others' comments as much as I can. ;) Cheers for now Q

    The Darksiding of Forex

    "Perception" must be the real key, don't you think? Clearly perception creates the market in itself, for without an opposing perceived viewpoint there would be a very one-sided trade flow. Not trying to be esoteric here, but clearly on that last one I perceived a turning point (wrongly I know...

    Hi dc, good to see you here. If only I had the ability to understand your phrase "once signalled". :rolleyes: Cheers Q

    Impressive trading rols, great discipline and management throughout! Also pleased to see a good effort from wasp. I was definitely "long biased" - not sure why really but maybe partly due to the last trade being a post "US crash" Long and a winner at 79 pips. This influenced my entry and I was...

    The Darksiding of Forex

    Hi Wasp Looks like some buying "pressure" at or around previous spt, and also forming a HL, so I'm long with a fairly obvious stop area giving around 2.5:1 R:R with an exit just below the round number. Late enough for me with a new two week old son so night night everyone. ;) Q

    The Darksiding of Forex

    Good post Marcus, always thought-provoking whenever you appear! ;) I for one have found price action a little hard with fx mainly I think due to the varying levels of volatility, coupled with a distinct lack of volume assistance. Where this leads to confusion for me is the difficulty to assess...

    The Darksiding of Forex

    Always been a bit on the dark side here, and my recent attempt at personal self-inflicted control with some sort of indicator based system has not yet yielded a decent set of statistics for me to rely on. So I strongly think price only, with SERIOUS discipline and a touch of MM thrown in is the...
