Yes,palmguy...but nothing is 100% perfect in trading...most of the time, it tends to be more

about TIMING OF THE ENTRY than exits..though but are quite important..

Delta way.

Thank you 4X. So the intraday gives us a good indication on where to enter throughout the

day or perhaps a way to day trade. But how do we determine the overall trend?

For example, JohnG said he see this pair going to 1.80. Like you were saying, I don't

really want to have to constantly watch the screen all day. It'd be nice to get a good

entry point using the intraday charts but then feel confident that you are with the longer

term trend so you're not fretting every little hiccup.

So my guess is that we're in an uptrend now but how do we determine that. Is that through

the LTD and MTD indicators?

it is not the 'holy grail'. There is no 'holy grail' Wilder put it this way, "DELTA is

perfect order but not perfect accurracy". The turning points will come early or late. And

the most important of all, DELTA does not generate entry or exit signal. It has to be

coupled with your own trading system.

The only ''Holy Grail'' of trading,where you never lose a single trade is non

existent..except the one you see when looking at the mirror..YOU are the ''Holy Grail''..

[02:39:37 03/11/08] Stalion : hello djcarlos

[02:41:38 03/11/08] Stalion : price didnt continue its downard movement...rather it complied

with the 60% buy window and went bullish..so for now,the 60% window is more potent and time

efficient than the DRAGON FIST in intraday trading

[02:42:45 03/11/08] Stalion : so we put a buy stop @ 1.6200...1st target @ 1.6255..2nd

target @ 1.6320..

[02:44:05 03/11/08] Stalion : sl@1.6155

[03:57:50 03/11/08] djcarlos : I dont made the entry because i dont was conected.... please

Stal.... remember send a text plase

[03:57:55 03/11/08] djcarlos : please

[03:58:16 03/11/08] djcarlos : It was a very good trade....

[03:58:44 03/11/08] djcarlos : congratulation, but I miss it

[06:54:19 03/11/08] enolase : hi everyone

[06:54:47 03/11/08] enolase : prices were rangebound on Friday, and I should have put a

pending order on the north side

[06:55:06 03/11/08] enolase : but i didn;t and i equally missed the trade alert

[06:55:41 03/11/08] enolase : but a good call.

[08:05:59 03/11/08] enolase : a platform i am trading on has increased the GU spread this

mprning to 16pips

[08:16:12 03/11/08] enolase : noticed it in a GU trade i took this morning. I wonder what it

will be like on the day of the BoE interest rate decision

[08:56:02 03/11/08] klho83 : Missed!!

[10:04:39 03/11/08] Stalion : missed?

[10:04:46 03/11/08] Stalion : hello everyone

[10:06:43 03/11/08] Stalion : 120 pips,$120 minilot,$1200 standard lot was made on the long

gu call..

[11:28:15 03/11/08] Stalion : so..any guesses where gu is going,guys?

[11:30:33 03/11/08] enolase : GU is hovering around the 50% Fibo leve;

[11:30:38 03/11/08] enolase : so I say it will rebound upwards

[11:30:50 03/11/08] enolase : i'm hoping i plotted it right

[11:31:39 03/11/08] enolase : but of couse we watch the charts and see the candle patterns

that play out

[11:32:14 03/11/08] enolase : but for now, it may rebound at least towards the middle

Bollinger

[11:36:28 03/11/08] Stalion : so we put a buy stop @ 1.6230..

[11:37:08 03/11/08] Stalion : 1st target @ 1.6279

[11:37:17 03/11/08] enolase : so Stal, WHAT SAY YE?

[11:39:20 03/11/08] Stalion : sl @ 1.6200

[11:39:40 03/11/08] enolase : Ok, so u agree it's going north?

[11:41:26 03/11/08] Stalion : only time will tell..

[23:17:41 03/11/08] Stalion : the Dragon Fist eventually came down much lower than our 3rd

target of 1.5922,from our sell stop of 1.6100,which brought us a total of

178pips+120pips-64pips-30pips=204 pips

[23:18:14 03/11/08] Stalion : 204 pips,$204 minilot,$2040 standard lot on Monday

[10:27:42 04/11/08] Stalion : helloo everyone

[10:28:19 04/11/08] Stalion : sorry for the late entrance...internet connection here was

pretty bad lately...

[10:30:03 04/11/08] Stalion : fortunately, we are still on no man's land for now...price is

still looking for where to head to

[10:36:03 04/11/08] Stalion : eventually price still went way below and beyond our Dragon

Fist call

[10:36:13 04/11/08] Stalion : the sell order

[10:38:09 04/11/08] Stalion : so we put a buy order on gbpusd @ 1.5835...1st target @ 1.5885

[10:47:14 04/11/08] Stalion : thats like a 100 pip sl...so we use proper risk mgt....we take

off half profits when we are +20 pips ahead..then shift our 100 pip sl back to original

entry

[10:51:46 04/11/08] djcarlos : Stal, the change is +20 pips above the entry point or 1st

target???

[10:52:04 04/11/08] djcarlos : yes its ready, thanks a lot

[11:15:39 04/11/08] Stalion : +20 pips above entry is better due to recent volatility in the

markets..

[11:18:39 04/11/08] fxjedi : Cheers my friend, i hope you are survivng these crazy volatile

markets. I must say in my 20 years of trading Forex i have not seen so much panicking and

shortage of liquidity, I am so pleased i continued developing my in house programmes , been

spending a great deal of time on them this year , to keep me ahead. GL/GT

[16:45:35 04/11/08] djcarlos : thanks

[09:12:10 07/11/08] Stalion : yesterday's?

[09:12:39 07/11/08] Stalion : hi Maximus...

[09:15:05 07/11/08] Stalion : we put a buy stop on gbpusd @ 1.5731...1st target @

1.5775...2nd target @ 1.5825...50 pip sl away..

[09:15:22 07/11/08] Stalion : yes,maximus...where are you from?

[09:15:50 07/11/08] Maximus : Canada, Qc

[09:16:25 07/11/08] Maximus : are you from Côte d'ivoire

[09:17:42 07/11/08] Stalion : Nope....I'm a Nigerian....and quite proud to be one too...

[09:17:52 07/11/08] Stalion : A Quebecker?

[09:18:07 07/11/08] Stalion : Bonjour mon ami...

[09:18:18 07/11/08] klho83 : Smile

[09:18:46 07/11/08] Maximus : bonjour à toi...

[09:19:29 07/11/08] Maximus : Is there any 3nd target...

[09:20:23 07/11/08] Stalion : we first get to 2nd target before a 3rd,Max....it depends on

the upward momentum...

[09:21:17 07/11/08] Maximus : Yes but how many lot or contract are you entering with...

[09:23:16 07/11/08] Stalion : mine's different from yours,Max...I also manage accounts of

different lot sizes..

[09:25:31 07/11/08] Stalion : soo,what size lot are you thinking of using or have

used???Remember risk mgt?

[09:25:55 07/11/08] Maximus : mini lots...

[09:29:51 07/11/08] Stalion : okay....we tend to have up to 3 targets...sometimes,4 to

5....Max..The way we handle it is to allocate percentages or fractions to our minilots when

target is hit or after 20 pips ahead

[09:31:14 07/11/08] Stalion : if using 1 minilot,you can take 0.5 off when +20 pips ahead or

when reaching 1st target....if using 3 minilots, you can shave off half or 1/3third as price

goes along...

[09:32:57 07/11/08] fxjedi : gm all

[09:33:22 07/11/08] Maximus : ok thx for that...

[09:33:34 07/11/08] Stalion : helloo there jedi...

[09:34:41 07/11/08] fxjedi : hi stal, thanks for yesteday,+60 pips on cable was okay for me,

[09:35:56 07/11/08] Stalion : cool....it was supposed to be 120 pips or so...but we were

stopped out for 60 pips earlier in the morning

[09:41:30 07/11/08] Maximus : gbpusd is going up...

[09:53:36 07/11/08] fxjedi : buy entry trigered

[09:58:22 07/11/08] Maximus : Everybody in the trade....

[09:58:44 07/11/08] Stalion : you can still enter your buy order,dj...

[10:06:44 07/11/08] Stalion : you can close half positions now, then shift stop loss to

entry point...

[10:07:58 07/11/08] fxjedi : okay

[10:17:32 07/11/08] Maximus : thx Stalion for this nice trade..Smile

[10:18:34 07/11/08] Maximus : do we reenter if stop out..

[10:19:36 07/11/08] Stalion : lol..we are still waiting for price to hit 1st target,max...by

closing half positions at +20 pips, then shifting sl to entry, we ensure we breakeven at a

profit if price retraces against us...

[10:21:09 07/11/08] Stalion : yes, we reenter after the bearish candle shows signs of moving

back up to our original entry...very prudent in these volatile markets nowadays...

[10:21:46 07/11/08] Maximus : thx Stalion...

[10:23:08 07/11/08] Maximus : wich time frame are you looking at for the trade Salion, tf15

[10:24:56 07/11/08] Stalion : 15 min chart,Max...

[10:29:03 07/11/08] Stalion : cool....

[10:29:31 07/11/08] Stalion : did you get the chance to reenter at our original price,max?

[10:30:37 07/11/08] Maximus : no, but I am glad with what i had today, I willl get

experience...

[10:30:41 07/11/08] fxjedi : i did as soon as u talked about that bearish candle,stal

[10:31:39 07/11/08] Stalion : you might still get the chance if price retraces downwards

again...

[10:31:55 07/11/08] Maximus : yes thx...

[10:32:34 07/11/08] djcarlos : ok, thanks... so the trend is bullish???

[10:35:11 07/11/08] Maximus : i think the price will come back...

[10:35:15 07/11/08] Stalion : looks like it, max....you can reenter with a buy order @

[10:58:19 07/11/08] Stalion : no probs...the thing is its much riskier now, dan when price

was at our original entry....the sl at that point would give more breathing space for price

to move than this present one....hope you understand..

[11:25:32 07/11/08] Stalion : Black Friday is mainly for those that dont really know what

they are doing in the markets,jedi..

[11:26:55 07/11/08] Stalion : pls dont get me wrong...nothing is 100% perfect in trading and

no one wins ALL trades ALL the time...but to attribute losses to Black Friday without

trading yet, is more of FEAR induced reaction to a particular day in the market

[13:19:25 07/11/08] djcarlos : I read that GU may had pivot in 1.5710, but here Stalion, so

ask to he..

[13:31:30 07/11/08] djcarlos : Stal sorry about the long of this article but I think that is

important for your usd/cad study

[13:31:34 07/11/08] djcarlos : The Canadian economy actually threw the market a bone today,

it's a miracle! The median market expectation was calling for a 10k loss in jobs, but the

economy instead added 9.5k in October. Keep in mind that we had a monster 106.9k print in

September, so to add more jobs on top of that huge gain was extremely impressive.

[13:46:06 07/11/08] djcarlos : Stal did you see Usd/Chf, it having good selling projetion

[14:44:50 07/11/08] djcarlos : hey! maxim do you have open GU buy Stop?

[14:45:15 07/11/08] djcarlos : it work very good...Thanks Stal cheers

[14:46:40 07/11/08] djcarlos : 60 pips in the bag.. good end for the week

[16:33:30 07/11/08] Stalion : lol....No Black Friday,dj?

[20:06:58 07/11/08] Stalion : We put a SELL STOP on GBPUSD@ 1.5660...1st target @

1.5600...sl@ 1.5715

[20:23:22 07/11/08] klho83 : hi stal thank for the text sms

[21:55:45 07/11/08] djcarlos : thanks for the text sms Stal, who said that today are Black

friday????

[22:06:53 07/11/08] djcarlos : good weekend everyone

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...

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..

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

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

[07:03:13 10/11/08] Stalion : Helloo everyone

[07:04:25 10/11/08] @ Stalion : we put a sell stop on gbpusd @ 1.5830...1st target @

[07:34:14 10/11/08] djcarlos : 3 target hit.... Razz

[07:40:30 10/11/08] djcarlos : thanks for the sms, I ll Sleep again ...here is 03:39.....

but with 50 pips in the bag..... thanks

[08:00:00 10/11/08] Stalion : hi dj

[09:59:45 10/11/08] klho83 : Hi Max did u take the trade?

[10:00:27 10/11/08] Maximus : which one...

[11:52:36 10/11/08] djcarlos : because I was read that GU it will have a pivot on 1.5800

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

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 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..

Justin · 11-14-2008, 11:36 AM

ideally, based on the scale its really going down. . . very low!

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..

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

jeffsmith · 11-18-2008, 06:44 AM

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.

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..

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..

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
