    No worries. Obviously you are new to forex trading so I would suggest visiting babypips.com and going through the "school" there. On my blog I write of things that may be above some beginners, so for that I apologize. S/R is a point where bulls ( that is, people who believe the price is worth...

    I looked at the chart you are referring to and the green line there was my take profit line. I didn't have an actual horizontal line drawn there, just a circle pointing out the resistance area.

    Actual trade Here is an actual trade I took earlier. I set my stop loss so that I will take +20 as I got in at a good price. Now I don't like to trade the GBP/JPY too often since it's sometimes too volatile for my liking, but when the market tells me there is an edge I simply trade it and...

    ... Trading itself, at a technical standpoint, is not really that hard as many make it out to be. For example, let's say that we just guessed the movement and 50% of the time we were right. And at the same time we had a decent risk reward ratio(2:1). Without even knowing that much about trading...

    ... Ok so what actually moves prices? People's belief that the price should be worth x amount and the fact that they are trying to make money. So what you are looking at when you are looking at any sort of technical chart is the emotion of the market, so to speak. Well how can you use this to...
