Review of Strategic Tips on Milking the Major Currency Pairs

[forexgreenland]

Thanx for the response, Forexgreenland. Looks like

I'm in the wrong forum.



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..

As an American who has most of their savings in sterling, I've got one

word to sum up what I feel right now.

F*%K!!

Me too, barbs...I feel ya...
Ohh, by the way, lemme wish you Americans a Happy Thanksgiving Day in advance..Did I hear

someone say Turkey Day?

[10:09:20] Stalion : so we put a buy stop on gu at 1.4970...1st

target at 1 5025..2nd target at 1.5080...sl 50 pips away...

What is happening? usd was sold accross the board (except agains yen)

by more than 200 pips in one hour or so. Can any body explain?

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.

I need to purchase 1000 GBP to pay a debt in the UK, and have

been trying to keep an eye on the exchange rate (as I'll have to buy the 1000 GBP with USDs

- I'm a US citizen and am paid in USDs )

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!!
Mark

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 spewing forth from the UK is likely to pull the T-strings of

cable down south..wow..

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..

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

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

[05:22:56 14/11/08] djcarlos : 1st target hit Very Happy

[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...

[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....

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..

Sell stop on GBPUSD @ 1.8321...

Hi palmguy, 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

Quote from Smurfie:

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..

In the name of the lord most merciful,
Nice thread forexgreenland. Week begins with the pound 13 percent drop against the dollar

and 8 percentagainst the euro . British banks are shrinking foreign borrowings .A weaker

currency is being recommended.

Maybe, jeff15...maybe..

Bearish gap, filled and bounced off your entry point (resistance area).

Looked like a good place to short rather than long but i was sleeping. If there had been a

bullish gap then that looked like a good long trade though (bounce off support). Look

forward to hearing more.

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..

Wow nice call today! I must be honest after been stop out twice the

third time I was not very condident with the trade and took+ 20 pips, if I had wait I should

grabe +200pips.... thx Stalion

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..

forexgreenland, I will be here with you to check the

daily analysis and strategic tips of forex.. i hope you post such this info continuously ...

I will learn more and more..
Thanks forexgreenland

No probs, delv..We all learn and earn more and more...

So.. where are these other guys you are talking to?

Just google ''forexgreenland''

 

[forexgreenland]

Looking at GBP/USD intraday: key ST resistance at 1.5.
Pivot: 1.5
Preferred: Short positions below 1.5 with targets @ 1.4815 & 1.467 in extension.
Alternative scenario: Above 1.5 look for further upside with 1.51 & 1.513 as targets.
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

into a ``run'' on the currency.Investors are selling the pound on concern about the size of

GB's recession.

Nice one, jeffsmith, keep it coming..

Nice analysis !!!

I think the pound keeps getting pounded for further losses after the negative view trotted

out by King and company midweek and by the backdrop of the country's current account deficit

and huge fiscal challenges. These are the same types of problems faced by the typical

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.

Regards

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..

[forexgreenland]

Hello Mystikal,

How are you doing?Please i will like to ask apart from the 123 top and bottom, is there any other type of chart pattern that can be formed.

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..

it seems too complicated/technical for me . really for beginner? for me, I just need easy/simple indicator or EA to decide buy or sell.

Lol,kitty...in reality..it is quite simple and easy in forecasting..Dont stop it if you think you gonna make a profit..
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!

I went short @ 1.4944 yesterday at about 7am with limit set at 1.49 and stop loss at 1.50. Up to 11am the range fluctuated between 1.4960 to 1.4995 even after the BoE minutes. Did I miss something? After the CBI report obviously I was out the trade and seeing the trend of GBP extend to 1.51+. Why didn't this go my way?

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..

[20:33:40] Stalion : hi folks, its a cool evening here in the city of Lagos,
And we also put a sell stop on GBPUSD @ 1.4970...1st target @ 1.4945..2nd target @

[11:06:42 20/11/08] masif1 : or was that the original sell alert stalion sent yesterday morning?

A 1-2-3 bottom is a bearish reversal pattern which signifies the previous downtrend is over and a new uptrend is begining.

2.0168-2.0050=0.0118
2.0089+0.0118=2.0207( final target point).

118pips, $118 mini, $1180 standard, was achieved.

i dont get the idea you showing about thw system. first, where are those numbers come from ? i looked at the charts that you attached those numbers (2.0168, 2.0050, 2.0089). sencond, is this same as the 3 ducks system ?

 

[forexgreenland]

hello stallion,

please i have some questions for you:

1) Please how do you know which time frame to do your analysis. i just noticed that at ties,
you do your analysis on 5 minutes chart, 15 minutes chart or 4 hours chart. Please what

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..

Market has recovered some shat. But we cannot say it a recovery because some market news say

that the market might once again show some dip. So be cautious when the market goes up.

Yes, we surely will,Reeal...

Hello,

How long to stay short of sterling? how long until sterling recovers?

I have a USD fund with a STG equivalent, at some point I should switch from USD into STG, I

am wondering if now is to soon.

Thanks in advance for advice.

Regards
Arran.

'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.

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..

is everyone here ever use indicator cat50fx ???

Not sure,kong..

Quote from trackstar:

what "method" are you using for these conditions?

Hi trackstar,It is much of a ''method'', than it is a strategy...The CHART PATTERN

RECOGNITION AND PRICE PROJECTION STRATEGY simply tells us where price is going and how far

it might get there, to a considerable extent..

[forexgreenland]

okay- a few things ive learned through the years of fxing -

go with the trend & dont try and guess when the trend is over

BUT.......

did anyone else see the USD turnaround signs? Not really a strong one with GBP - but a

perfect trendline touch on EUR, almost a double top reaction spike on CHF.

All pairs showed serious rection spikes today - without surpassing former lows/highs

Kind of like slamming the brakes on your car.

Wonder if Mon Asian market will dump lots of cash in - or wait because of light US trade

week?

Will the slow trade week basically reset all the indicators and make this one giant

bull/bear trap?

Set yr stops close ~

Thoughts?

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

@ 1.2245..2nd target @ 1.2262

 

[forexgreenland]

[00:07:31 24/11/08] Stalion : hi everyone

[00:09:04 24/11/08] Stalion : price made a bullish gap on the opening gap of the Asian session....so its a very good opportunity

[00:09:40 24/11/08] Stalion : 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 @ 1.2245..2nd target @ 1.2262

[00:10:13 24/11/08] Stalion : we revise our sell stop to 1.4945

[00:53:13 24/11/08] djcarlos : FXCM it having problems... i cant enter the sell stop

[01:14:33 24/11/08] djcarlos : entry point was hit??? I cant see

[01:26:30 24/11/08] Stalion : hmmmm....

[01:27:04 24/11/08] Stalion : the doggy style didnt work?

[01:27:46 24/11/08] djcarlos : I dont know ... I cant see .. my plataform it having problems...

[01:32:03 24/11/08] djcarlos : how was the alert???

[01:33:52 24/11/08] Stalion : we just hit first target

[01:34:07 24/11/08] djcarlos : Sad

[01:39:46 24/11/08] Stalion : u can still enter now....

[01:40:01 24/11/08] Stalion : price still has some distance to go....

[01:50:28 24/11/08] djcarlos : I cant because my broker is not working

[01:51:19 24/11/08] djcarlos : The doggy style is going to be like trapping dragon.... it will going up.. after down??

[02:57:15 24/11/08] djcarlos : I cant enter yet

I dont know Holmes,

looks like the USD is about to go down.

Dr Who?

Hi everyone, hope ur all having a nice day...the UK gdp REPORT CAME OUT THE SAME , SO FOR

NOW, TECHNICAL ANALYSIS IS PREEMINENT..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..

 

[forexgreenland]

Hi Stal,

Wanted to clarify a point out of the explaination that you gave a couple of days back about

the Reaction Swing and the Projected Reversal Date.
1.When you said about the centre of the cycle, wont we calculate a 60% buy window and be

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.

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..

My studies have proven to me that flexible and liberal interpretation

of EWA coupled with precise Fibonacci proportions & extensions on Price much more accurate

and practicable than all the Time studies of Gann, Delta, MM etc...

From practice & observation of others (including the newsletters from Copan) Delta or MM are

pretty much based on loose, flexible timings.The theoretical assertiveness of Copan in his

tapes is impressive but his newsletters are nourished with incertitudes....

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

Projection a core strategy of Buffetology?

Dear Madam and Dear Sir,
My name is Mahir I am a investor in Turkey, I would to ask you a question if you permit.
According to the exchange rates, the £ exchange rate to the $ was 1,99 at the common years,

now it decreases to 1,49.
According to the exchange rates, the £ exchange rate to the € was 1,55 at the common years,

now it decreases to 1,17.
As we have in our owner equity, our capital is almost all in British Pounds. According to

the long-term finance management we have a loss of about 900.000 Dollar’s because of the

exchange course.
My question is what do you advice me to do. Should I change to Euro or will the Pound be

stable and will gain its unique power again.
I hope you are not suprised about this mail because there to many speculations and I really

do not now how to act thats why I need help for an advice from you.
I thank you in forward and hope for your reply.
Yours Sincerly,
MAHIR - [email protected]

Well, Mahir,
just dont overlook GOLD as an alternative asset class, that traders run to during periods of

market uncertainity.

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

 

[forexgreenland]

The MONTHOBAMA TECHNIQUE

I need some advice from some seasoned forex traders...I am a college

student studying finance and I am fairly new to forex trading but i have frequently day

traded some stocks. I opened up a fxcm account 3 days ago funded with $5,000. Today was the

first day that I traded it for about 3 hours. At the end of the 3 hrs I made a profit of

$1,042.25. It doesn't seem like I'm executing my trades very well though, so I'm wondering

if this is just luck or something like that. Is significant profit a sign of good

trading?

Hi mfostel,
Its quite encouraging of you to admit you've not been executing 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.

Dear Madam and Dear Sir,
I would to ask you a question,According to the exchange rates:
what would be the exchange rate £/$ short - term (1month) = ?
what would be the exchange rate £/$ midle - term (6month) = ?
what would be the exchange rate £/$ long - term (12month) = ?
and
what would be the exchange rate £/€ short - term (1month) = ?
what would be the exchange rate £/€ midle - term (6month) = ?
what would be the exchange rate £/€ long - term (12month) = ?
what is your advice might be.
Yours Sincerly,
MAHIR -

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...

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.

thnx buddy i got the 1st target and the all credit goes to you. can we hav a chat on some

other source????????[/QUOTE]

Wow nice trade guys!

 

[forexgreenland]

Friends todays inventories provided by AVAFX are showing the market

is volital.

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, 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...

Hi Stallion,thanks for the report,am considered taking up your managed account service,if

those profit trades are sustainable in the longterm.i understand the risks of trading so am

not looking for wild returns or whatnot, just something consistent i need.thanks once again

[11:26:32 08/12/08] Stalion : remember to take half profits after +20 pips ahead...

[11:26:39 08/12/08] Stalion : then shift sl to entry

[11:37:52 08/12/08] Avak1988 : hello Stalion

[11:38:27 08/12/08] Avak1988 : I just try to understand what is going on and how do you work

here

sell stop on gbpusd @ 14745...1st target @ 14705..2nd target @ 14665...3rd target@

14625...also as a hedge, we put a buy stop @ 14825...1st target @ 14865...2nd target @

14900...50 pip sl on both..
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..

(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..

Hi Stalion, You've always done nice jobs, and i've always missed your live comment and signal.

I am in Australia, not sure what normal time you would give comment or tell people how to trade.

I think you are fantastic and really want to follow what you have got. Every time when I got up here, you have already disconnected.

Please let me know.. i need your help..>_<.

Hi Jimmy...thanks for your mail....howz the famous Down Under?....The Land Of The Antipodes...hope you guys are treating the aboringes well over there..cool..well,am really humbled by your comments, mon ami...London Session is mostly where I'm at...3am EST...

[11:29:04 10/12/08] Stalion : hi fasi

[11:35:42 10/12/08] klho83 : Hi Stal

[11:49:03 10/12/08] fasi26 : stalion????

[11:49:08 10/12/08] Stalion : how was trading yesterday?

[11:51:15 10/12/08] fasi26 : i didnt trade

[11:54:09 10/12/08] fasi26 : bcoz it's hlidays here so i m enjoying 2 days of eid

[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?

[12:05:16 10/12/08] fasi26 : it's about new economic plan of america

[12:05:24 10/12/08] Stalion : hi K

[12:05:36 10/12/08] fasi26 : and he still wana spend more money for the infrastructure of america

[12:09:38 10/12/08] Stalion : YEA...LIKE fdr DURING THE gREAT dEPRESSION OF THE 1930'S

[12:11:09 10/12/08] fasi26 : yes he said that more money can be spend as campared to 1950;s

[12:11:31 10/12/08] fasi26 : and economy will go down more before taking high

[12:11:55 10/12/08] Stalion : President Frank Delano Roosevelt did massive reconstruction to overcome the US Depression

[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...

[12:46:51 10/12/08] fasi26 : hmmmmm ur right

[13:29:26 10/12/08] djcarlos : yes... I always have my laptop with wi-fi.... but now i dont got it with me

[21:54:53 14/12/08] Stalion : So for today Sunday the 14th, we put a sell stop on GBPUSD @ 1.4946...1st target @ 1.4923..2nd target @ 1.4905..3rd target @ 1.4884...

[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)

[forexgreenland]

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...
