Hey Jarod, you forgot to add ''I wanna have his nuts for breakfast''..

ManageMyForex:
that was some good training...alittle long but good anyway.

I see a slight move south again tonight before a big push up on GBPJPY before the end of the

year. I plan on making about 50% profits on my account from the push upwards (that is if it

happens...Im not loong yet).

the GBPJPY has fallen but it can give a little more before its year end climb. trust me it

will not close this low and watch the dow it will have a nice recovery in Dec.1 - Dec. 20th

the GBPJPY will follow the DOW. and I will make good money!

hope you all will too

now if it doesnt thats fine since Im waiting for my indicator to say LONG but when it does

bet the farm baby!

Hi ManageMyForex, thanks for the insightful contribution on the POUND YEN(GBPJPY)movement in

the weeks to come.Linking that currency pair with the Dow Jones seems like a carry

trade,which might be a nice idea.

Chartwise, we have already crossed the 60% BUY WINDOW to the downside, in which price might

likely reach a low of 161.11 or lower at the nearest support or low (1st August 2000). MACD

negative divergence to price foretold that beaish fall in price..Ohh, by the way, I'm

looking at the monthly GBPJPY timeframe on the chart.

Price has to close above the 189.35 buy window region before a bullish drive can be

confirmed.

251.09-148.19= 102.9

0.6*102.9= 61.74

251.09-61.74=189.35 (60% BUY WINDOW)

Since we are taking this off the monthly chart, we can liken it to POSITION TRADING..where

trading projections take weeks or months to fulfill..

So mon ami, a buy in the near future might be in order, under normal market conditions, but dont really think ''betting the farm'' might be a prudent move.

Hello

I happened upon your thread earlier. Are you using price support/resistance in combination

with 1-2-3's, or using 1-2-3's to define targets? Where did you come up with a 40 pip SL?

I ask because it reminds me very much of the factory's forum's price action thread. Are you

involved/posting in there as well?

Are these calls being made live via Skype? I looked at your site but am unable to view

threads. Is this chat room a paid service, or is it free because you are making money from

trading? More information would be welcome

It is good to see you profitable, I would like to see you continue.

Thank you

Hi C,

Thanks for your mail..You see, I apply the use of 1-2-3's, amongst other chart pattern

strategies, to define targets..Defining targets is no less important than defining

entries...and that where the 40 pip Stop Loss comes in..

It came in due to the fact that the average distance of a grid table is close to 40 pips.

But with recent market volatility, it is much more prudent to have wider stops that are more

than 40 pips when trading..

I'm sorry but am not aware of any factory's forum price action thread,C..so wouldnt say am

involved in posting there.

The chatroom is a subscription based service where traders earn and learn at the same

time.. Though the best things in life are free, but people rarely value them..

Hello Mystikal,

Thanks for your replies. Another question for you and I hope it will be answered :

1) Please how do you determine your entry points.

2) How do you calculate those your targets ( 1 target, 2nd target and so on).

3) How do you know the number of target a trade or move will have ( whether 1 ,2 or 3

targets).

4) Also,what are the conditions for a 1-2-3 bottom? that is whats the 1 stand for, the 2

and the 3 , what do they all stand for?

5) in your last reply to me, you said "so in this context,2 was a minor low, while the

low of the bearish hammer before the doji, at the last support ,could stand as an

intermediate low." so please whats the difference between a minor low and an intermediate

low

6) What do you mean by a bearish hammer and a "doji"

Expecting A Reply

1)

Most traders tend to concentrate on pinpointing the perfect entry for a trade. However, in

reality the entry price is just one part of the equation. The common entry techniques are:

Channel Breakouts

A trend trader will tend to use channel breakouts to enter trades in order to catch a trend

when it is beginning. The general rule is to pick a period length, which could be 20 days

for a long term trader or 15 minutes for a daytrader and buy if the high in that period is

broken or sell if the low is broken.

Visual Entry based on patterns

The art of technical analysis focuses on the many types of chart patterns that markets tend

to form. Such as gaps, spikes, inside days, outside days, triangles, flags and double tops

to name a few. These entries are rather more subjective than channel breakouts.

Pure prediction

Prediction techniques include Elliott Wave, Gann and Dow Theory. Again the actual entry

price based on such theories is very subjective. Predictive techniques usually try to pin

point major turning points in markets and are therefore attempting to go against the current

trend rather than with it.

Volatility Breakouts

The theory behind a volatility breakout is that if the market makes a sudden move in a

particular direction then it is likely to continue in that direction. The general rule is to

add/subtract a pre-determined percentage of the recent average true range to the opening

price thus giving buy and sell points.

Moving Averages

Take the average price of the last x periods (minutes, hours or days) and buy if the price

crosses above and sell if it crosses below. This technique works well in purely trending

markets but will be badly whipsawed in a range bound market. Variations include using 2 or

more moving averages and using the cross of those as a signal. The moving averages

themselves could be simple or weighted (more emphasise on the latest prices).

Oscillators and Stochastics

I.e. RSI, stochastics, Williams %R etc. Generally these tools are used to determine whether

the market is 'overbought' and ready to drop or 'oversold' and ready to rise. They work best

in range bound markets by picking tops and bottoms but fail in a trending market.

Since trading is more of an art than a science, its more of the interpretation of the chart

information that just calculations,Onwukarisa..Besides,like I reiterated before,it wont be

due to the risk of fading out by the banks, institutional traders,etc..

strategies...stalion@forexgreenland.com

4) A 123 bottom is a reversal pattern that is usually seen at the end of a downtrend, in

which the breach of the 2 denotes a bullish movement of price..

1 stands for the lowest low(LL)...2 stands for the intermediate high before price retraces,

and 3 stands for the intermediate low...remember 3, the intermediate low, should not be

lower than 1, which is the major or lowest low..

5)''A hammer have small real bodies(either black or white), and these real bodies have to be

at or near the highs of the session..Another criterion is that they need very long lower

shadows ( at least two to three times the height of the real body).Because of their

identical shape, you can identify them depending on where they appear in an uptrend or

downtrend...A hammer will appear at or near the bottom of a decline, either briefly or

extended; thus the name ''hammer''...which suggests that the market is hammering out a

base.. A bearish hammer simply means the clour of the hammer is dark, denoting the opening

price is higher than the closing price of the hammer..

A doji is a session in which the opening and closing prices are the same..theregfore it

resembles a cross.It indicates a market in complete balance between supply and demand..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..

The ideal doji forms with the same opening and closing price, but this rule is

flexible..When the opening and closing prices are only a few ticks from each other, you can

still consider the candleline as a doji..''

[09:37:04 17/10/08] masif1 : anyone?

[09:37:24 17/10/08] Stalion : sl @ 1.7315...remember our pending stop order is still waiting

[09:40:31 17/10/08] caprica1 : masif dont forget to add your spreads to the stop figure

[09:41:00 17/10/08] masif1 : 1.7320?

[09:45:04 17/10/08] caprica1 : Stal have you used the buy/sell windows on the cable?

[09:48:31 17/10/08] Stalion : Have you or Did you,cap?

[09:51:19 17/10/08] kokowater : is that retracement on cable or a reverse, stal?

[09:53:39 17/10/08] Stalion : price retraced at the 60% buy window, and now, its moving up...

[09:56:04 17/10/08] Stalion : any high impact news coming out from the gbp or usd?

[09:56:42 17/10/08] Stalion : right now, even price is looking for a good end to the week...lol..

[09:56:48 17/10/08] caprica1 : I was just wondering as I was reading your post on the forum

here about how you calculate the buy/sell windows

[09:59:26 17/10/08] Stalion : ohh,okay..

[10:01:01 17/10/08] kokowater : nope.. it is a low impact news for EUR

[10:01:08 17/10/08] kokowater : there are 2 impacts news at 1:30pm and 2:55pm respectively

[10:02:17 17/10/08] Stalion : right now, if you look at the GBPUSD 15 min chart, you'll see

MACD negative divergence to price, which foretells a bearish move down south...

[10:04:19 17/10/08] Stalion : gu needs to break above its previous high in order to really

qualify its bullish move....so we might be slapping a pending buy order above that

high...cap...

[10:07:58 17/10/08] caprica1 : rite.

[10:09:06 17/10/08] kokowater : ok

[10:11:52 17/10/08] kokowater : i still believe in the short of cable..

[10:12:45 17/10/08] fxjedi : why, kokowater?

[10:14:07 17/10/08] kokowater : we have a good 123 formation on gu looking at 4hrs

[10:17:21 17/10/08] kokowater : i am still holding my short on eu too, i enter so late

becasue i never chekc my 15mins chart for a good entry...

[10:19:36 17/10/08] Stalion : soo?

[10:20:34 17/10/08] Stalion : what does a 123 formation on the 4hr chart got to do with shorting the cable?

[10:20:37 17/10/08] kokowater : soo? how do you mean, stal?

[10:25:16 17/10/08] Stalion : can you please explain more,koko?

[10:27:10 17/10/08] Stalion : how do you mean the directional bias is still long on the 4hr

chart, cap? what are your reasons?

[10:27:28 17/10/08] kokowater : 123 formation on cable.. i am saying to support or buttress our point.

[10:33:20 17/10/08] Stalion : you see, koko, good training in trading is very important if

you want to take this thing to the next level..a 1-2-3 formation on the gu does not support

shorting the cable...just because a 123 is a reversal pattern that foretells a long

position, not a short position...that was why am asking...they are kind of mutually

exclusive in a way...

[10:37:43 17/10/08] Stalion : can you be more specific,cap?

[10:42:54 17/10/08] fxjedi : hey,caprica, i jus woke up this morning with a hangover.,please

[12:05:48 20/10/08] enolase : the signal appeared late

[12:06:23 20/10/08] enolase : on the chat box

[12:06:46 20/10/08] enolase : i think u need to look into it. Not the first time I have

noticed it

[12:08:59 20/10/08] fxjedi : 1st taget hi

[12:09:09 20/10/08] fxjedi : hit

[12:10:09 20/10/08] fxjedi : but the alert didnt come in late,enolase, wen i logged in, no

one was around on the chatbox

[12:10:58 20/10/08] Stalion : hi jedi

[12:13:24 20/10/08] fxjedi : do i put a trailing stop now,stallion?

[12:15:29 20/10/08] Stalion : yes, you are right, jedi...when I posted the short call, it

was on record that none was around...price can move any direction at any moment..so as

intraday traders, we have to be around to adjust and take advantage of price movements..

[12:15:58 20/10/08] Stalion : a 15 pip trailing stop would be prudent, man

[12:16:09 20/10/08] enolase : maybe it was my network

[12:16:37 20/10/08] enolase : anyway, i entered when the price retraced to 1.7410, so i have

no complaints

[12:16:45 20/10/08] enolase : i am also short on the EURJPY

[12:19:39 20/10/08] enolase : and i am also in cruise control on EURJPY

[12:19:41 20/10/08] enolase : wel, i have taken profit in GBPUSD

[12:20:29 20/10/08] enolase : looks like the JPY is gaining some control over the majors,

but we watch and see

[12:24:56 20/10/08] enolase : what a bam bam on EURJPY!

[12:25:13 20/10/08] Stalion : cool...

[12:25:21 20/10/08] enolase : my GU charts froze

[12:25:27 20/10/08] enolase : so i decided not to go further

[12:25:49 20/10/08] enolase : but i just gained some 70 pips on EURJPY

[12:26:09 20/10/08] enolase : at least i have recovered from the earlier GU stop-out

[12:29:26 20/10/08] fxjedi : i made 87 pips from the gu short,putting a trailing stop for

2nd target

[12:29:52 20/10/08] Stalion : thats nice

[13:05:56 20/10/08] enolase : GU dey retrace o!

[13:06:23 20/10/08] enolase : but let's watch it

[13:42:54 20/10/08] masif1 : damn got stopped out on the long and missed the short call Sad

[13:43:29 20/10/08] masif1 : how did you do on the short? make up the loss on the long?

[14:14:32 20/10/08] enolase : masif my man

[14:14:58 20/10/08] enolase : the way the market has been in the last three months, the SET

AND FORGET Strategy is not the best anymore

[14:15:09 20/10/08] enolase : u need to be on your screen

[14:19:53 20/10/08] enolase : the GU 2nd target was triggered

[14:21:17 20/10/08] enolase : so i lost 75 pips on the Long GU trade, then gained 80pips

from the Short trade, then another 70 pips from Short EURJPY

[14:21:27 20/10/08] enolase : not a bad start to the week

[14:26:04 20/10/08] masif1 : WELL DONE enoloase

[14:26:13 20/10/08] masif1 : i see what you mean

[14:26:34 20/10/08] masif1 : if you had put a trailing s/l on the short you'd be laughing

bro

[14:32:58 20/10/08] enolase : looks like the dollar and yen are set for more gains

[14:33:37 20/10/08] enolase : i am in short on the EURUSD and EURJPY

[14:34:53 20/10/08] enolase : combined i am 90pips in profit right now

[14:36:10 20/10/08] enolase : i see EURJPY hitting 135.00

[14:36:54 20/10/08] enolase : but let's see

[15:02:59 20/10/08] masif1 : about 200+ pips could have been made on the cable today if

stals alert was taken

[15:03:12 20/10/08] masif1 : the short alert

[15:03:21 20/10/08] masif1 : minus the 80pips loss

[15:03:32 20/10/08] masif1 : 120+ is brilliant start to the week!

[15:07:29 20/10/08] enolase : Bernanke has started his House testimony

[15:07:54 20/10/08] enolase : "supports a 2nd stimulus to support the economy"

[15:10:07 20/10/08] enolase : take a look at the doolar gains over the CHF

[15:58:44 20/10/08] enolase : wow

[15:58:49 20/10/08] enolase : what a day

[15:59:50 20/10/08] enolase : i have close to 250 pips in the bag today. i am out for the

day.

[15:59:59 20/10/08] enolase : Better to leave when the ovation is loudest

[16:02:57 20/10/08] enolase : thanks Stallion. See u all tomorrow

[16:03:13 20/10/08] enolase : today's experience has shown one thing:

[16:03:33 20/10/08] enolase : at this period, it pays to stay glued to your screen so you

don;t miss great setups and good trades

[16:03:42 20/10/08]Stalion : +300 pips, +300 minilot, +3000 standard in less than 6hrs

 

The Exegesis

4xis2ez:
Forexgreenland, what is your point in your post below? Are we to expect spam in the future from you?
djindyfx:
I'm in agreement with 4x..

Forexgreenland.. Please do not post your IM messages in the Forum. Understandably..We see

you caught a Drop. This one could just have been luck.. What "Signal" did you use to

catch the drop? That might be more of a learning experience for the people in the

Forum

I come in peace,mon amis...

On the contrary, your discussion on the Welles Wilder book ''The Delta Phenomenon or the

Hidden Order In All Markets'',piqued my curiousity.. Jim Sloman, the genius engineer that

discovered it and shared it with Welles, talked about Delta turning points and where and

when it should be in the markets. Though he claims Delta is the basis of all market

movements, there are NO exact exit and entries to take advantage of those predetermined

Delta turning points..

''The secret can be defined for all five Delta time frames by just eighteen words.

Markets repeat directly or inversely relative to the total interaction of the sun, the moon,

and the earth.

For the Intermediate Term Delta time frame, each colored line is on the

date of each FULL MOON!

We can define the Intermediate Term Delta in nine words.

Markets repeat directly or inversely every four lunar

months.

That is the height of simplicity. It is a truism. It has held up as far back

in history as there is obtainable data. And yet, it has eluded everyone who

ever tried to find it . . . the real underlying order in markets . . . until it was

discovered by Jim Sloman in the summer of 1983.

Now, even though we know the Delta order is perfect, unfortunately,for me, the exact date of

the high and the exact date of the low (of thehigh/low rotation) is not perfect. If it were,

you would not be reading this book and I would have, by now, accumulated more wealth than

anyone else in this world!

So. it is important to understand the difference between perfect order and perfect accuracy.

Perfect order involves a phenomenon that repeats exactly within a defined reference. In this

case the reference is the perfectinteraction of the sun, moon and earth.

Perfect accuracy defines the accuracy within the order. In this case,

the accuracy is that of the turning points. That is, how close a particular turning point

will come to a predicted date. Obviously, it is not possible for perfect accuracy to exist

within the perfect order of markets.'' Quote from the Delta Phenomenon Book

That is where I come in, my friends..

We will see how long that lasts.

I do not know how you are calculating targets but I was able to pick up 70 pips on GBP/USD

but would like to know if target prices are established from support or resistance or if

there is in fact a calculation that is being used?

Are you selling a service? Your website and forum suggests that you are selling a service.

[/QB]

Helloo Hoof,

It is true the 60% window got more ''hits'' than the 61.8 fib..and it lasts as long as

there's a forex market..

There are calculations being used,which also takes cognizance of support and resistance

levels..The CHART PATTERN RECOGNITION AND PRICE PROJECTION STRATEGY is a conglomeration of

diverse and dynamic trading techniques that is synergetically combustulated to form a

holistic winning formula or ''edge''.

Please dont get me wrong, Hoof....I'm not selling out...especially in the art of trading..

Welles Wilder of the ''Delta Phenomenon'' sells his books and services..Steve Nison ,Tom De

Mark,Dr Alexander Elder, Dr Van Tharp,etc..sells their services and manuals,Warren Buffet

sells his services through Berkshire Hathaway,Bill Gates through Microsoft..etc..Does that

mean they are sell outs or any lesser than the trading public? I dont really think so..else

how would anyone get to benefit from their insights and experiences?

They are still true to their art..which only makes them better..Trading is an Art,Science ,

as well as Business, and should be treated as such..

[13:45:33 21/10/08] Stalion : helloo everyone

[13:45:43 21/10/08] skipper : Hi

[13:46:27 21/10/08] Stalion : our long gu order didnt go according to plan early this

morning, so we cut it off and say next..

[13:48:27 21/10/08] Stalion : we put a sell pending order on gbpusd @ 1.6955, 1st target @

1.6919...

[13:49:24 21/10/08] Stalion : sl@ 1.7108

[13:51:57 21/10/08] skipper : hope your order hits & I'm still with you on the journey down

[13:52:26 21/10/08] klho83 : Hi Stal

[13:52:51 21/10/08] Stalion : hi K

[13:53:50 21/10/08] klho83 : Stopped for GU long trade during asian session

[14:01:43 21/10/08] masif1 : coolio

[14:03:56 21/10/08] tundope : hi stal

[14:06:51 21/10/08] Stalion : OKAY

[14:21:48 21/10/08] Stalion : price almost brushing our sell stop order

[14:38:28 21/10/08] Stalion : hi enolase..

[14:40:06 21/10/08] enolase : i am on the sidelines for now

[14:40:20 21/10/08] enolase : the BoC interest rate decision is a tricky one

[14:40:40 21/10/08] Stalion : hi fxmonkey...

[14:40:58 21/10/08] enolase : market expecting a 50 basis points cut, so movements downward

may have been factored in

[14:41:49 21/10/08] didi : it's not been too rosy.i once traded with no stop loss and lost

1'400 in 3 mins

[14:42:10 21/10/08] enolase : CAD may gain if there is only a 25 basis points cut or no cut

at all, so I will just watch it

[14:44:11 21/10/08] Stalion : what was the name of the strategy you used?

[14:45:05 21/10/08] enolase : $1,400 in 3 mins?

[14:45:53 21/10/08] didi : i try to keep it simple,just some ema's,rsi and stoch.like i said

i'm new

[14:46:25 21/10/08] Stalion : yes, eno, the USDCAD and AU/USD may be worth watching this

afternoon....I hope the news gets to have a high impact

[14:47:41 21/10/08] Stalion : no probs....but at the end, didi...its not more about the

right strategy than risk management...they both are very important...

[14:48:17 21/10/08] enolase : but like Stal said, risk management is very important

[14:48:44 21/10/08] enolase : i learnt these lessons the very hard way last year in my early

trading

[14:49:22 21/10/08] didi : believe me i now know d importance of risk management

[14:49:52 21/10/08] Stalion : if 1400 was like 2 to 5% of your total equity that you lost in

3 mins, then you wouldnt be that worried, would you?

[14:49:54 21/10/08] enolase : one thing i learnt from Stalion

[14:50:04 21/10/08] enolase : THERE ARE ALWAYS OPPORTUNITIES IN THE MARKET

[14:50:15 21/10/08] enolase : u miss one, wait. others will come

[14:51:51 21/10/08] didi : for u trades how much stop loss do u recomend

[14:52:11 21/10/08] Stalion : but the main challenges is Do You See Them and Take The Trade?

[14:54:29 21/10/08] didi : the problem now is after that loss i lost a lot of confidence and

i've only just started trading again.and all i do is scalp for 5 pips here and there

[14:55:39 21/10/08] Stalion : earlier this year, a 40 pip stop loss was fitting...but with

the recent volatility in the markets,price tends to move more...check the average range of a

candle stick bar, from high to low

[14:58:20 21/10/08] Stalion : so, now,placing stops at support and resistance areas are more

prudent,,,especially with recent price movements...

[15:07:46 21/10/08] fxjedi : so do we sell usdcad as it came out on 0.25 basis points, Stal?

[15.36 21/10/08] Stalion : not yet, jedi

[15.58 21/10/08] Stalion : we put a buy stop on USDCAD @ 1.2100....1st target @ 1.2150

[15.53 21/10/08] enolase : yes jedi

[15.58 21/10/08] enolase : not yet

[15.15 21/10/08] enolase : there is a dovish statement made by the BoC

[15.31 21/10/08] enolase : which will likely make the CAD pairs to follow recent trends

[15.38 21/10/08] Stalion : sl 1.2050

[15.38 21/10/08] enolase : order should be 15 pips in profit now

[15:23:44 21/10/08] Stalion : lets wait and see,enolase

[15:39:57 21/10/08] Stalion : there is resistance at the 1.2128 region

[15:41:47 21/10/08] Stalion : so remember guys, we have a sell pending order on the gbpusd

and a buy pending order on the usdcad...

[15:47:52 21/10/08] masif1 : thanks stal

[15:51:17 21/10/08] masif1 : uscad buy triggered

[17:34:15 21/10/08] masif1 : target hit!

[17:34:27 21/10/08] masif1 : 50pips made on the USDCAD

[17:34:53 21/10/08] masif1 : and still going up

[17:35:08 21/10/08] masif1 : damn i knew i should have put a trailing s/l

[17:54:24 21/10/08] masif1 : first target hit on the cable short!

[17:54:28 21/10/08] masif1 : 40pips made there

[17:54:35 21/10/08] masif1 : and still going down

[17:54:45 21/10/08] masif1 : damn wish i had traling s/l on that as well

[08:59:43 22/10/08] enolase : made $1500

[08:59:58 22/10/08] pipster1 : Very Good

[09:03:08 22/10/08] enolase : 1000 pips from Monday morning: that has been the story of the

I like the idea of thinking about it from a psychological spin. Its

like everything in life - when your properly in focus, you can achieve almost anything. And

when your not - somertimes it seems like you'd be better off spending the rest of the day

under the covers - where you cant do any more damage!

Yea,hersko915, its all about focus...focus on your trading goals and objectives,which also

translates to life itself...but you sure cant do that when you are scattered all over the

place...or dissipating energy on low value activities or destructive tendencies..

You got an argumentative girlfriend?You cut her off..A nagging wife?Try your best to achieve

harmony and understanding with her..Like going for binge drinking regularly in bars and

pubs...No No...Like flaring off at every single percieved provocation? Chill..

[19:13:44 23/10/08] Stalion : since it looks like gbpusd is retracing upwards, we put a buy

stop on the cable @ 1.6170...1st target @ 1.6210..2nd target @ 1.6261...

[19:15:44 23/10/08] Stalion : sl @ 1.6100....take half profits when +20 pips in

day, u would have been cool

[18:34:24 22/10/08] Stalion : hmmmm....

[18:35:40 22/10/08] Stalion : 1st picking was okay...den next move is to take half lot

first...then shift stop loss to entry point...with that, you are ''playing with house

money''..

[18:36:21 22/10/08] enolase : Stal, i wanted to ask

[18:40:19 22/10/08] enolase : do u take multiple positions? because i do not know how you

can close half lots from an existing trade?

[18:41:56 22/10/08] enolase : i would be glad if you can explain it to me

[18:54:59 22/10/08] Stalion : no probs

1.6050, 2nd target @1.5964

[18:57:47 22/10/08] Stalion : if you are taking 1 minilot to trade, then taking half profits

means closing your trade at 0.5...then allowing the other half to stay for the next target

[18:59:06 22/10/08] Stalion : if it were 2 minilots(0.2), then you close your trade at

0.1(half profits), and allow the other half lot(1 minilot) to remain for the second target

[10:24:22 23/10/08] Stalion : price have been on a range since yesterday...so market is flat

for now

[10:29:14 23/10/08] enolase : hi everyone

[10:29:17 23/10/08] Stalion : our pending buy and sell orders still stands...remember to

take half profits when trade is on +20 pips ahead..then shifting sl to entry...standard risk

[15:05:31 23/10/08] masif1 : just took the 40pips

[15:05:34 23/10/08] masif1 : happy with that

[15:06:09 23/10/08] masif1 : i have put a reentry but may take it off as don;t want to do

the same mistake i did yesterday - greed!

[15:58:04 23/10/08] enolase : Starcomms did me in again

[15:58:25 23/10/08] enolase : network went just as I placed 2 orders for EURUSD and GBPJPY

[15:58:53 23/10/08] enolase : only for the network to return and I found that after being

almost 50 pips in profit in both, the price retraced on me

[15:59:04 23/10/08] enolase : but i can make do with the GU short

[15:59:39 23/10/08] enolase : i seriously have to consider either Reltel or Visafone

[16:00:27 23/10/08] djcarlos : I open bad orders in USD/JPY and AUD/JPY,

[20:10:17 23/10/08] Stalion : hi fellas

[20:10:45 23/10/08] Stalion : hope you guys took the 1st 40 pips of our gbpusd short order

[20:13:44 23/10/08] Stalion : since it looks like gbpusd is retracing upwards, we put a buy

stop on the cable @ 1.6170...1st target @ 1.6210..2nd target @ 1.6261...

[20:15:44 23/10/08] Stalion : sl @ 1.6100....take half profits when +20 pips in

profits..while shifting sl to entry point...

[20:20:54 23/10/08] Stalion : our sell pending order on cable still stands...

[22:31:52 23/10/08] Stalion : target hit at a high of 1.6263, 2 pips away from our 2nd

target of 1.6261..

[22:32:49 23/10/08] Stalion : shift stop loss to entry while putting a trailing stop on

price...from now, we are ''playing with house money''..

[23:09:26 23/10/08] fxjedi : hi stal, my 25 pip trailing is on,any idea on 3rd target?

[23:09:55 23/10/08] Stalion : 3rd target @ 1.6315

[23:10:19 23/10/08] Stalion : hi skipper

[23:11:01 23/10/08] fxjedi : okay

[23:15:09 23/10/08] fxjedi : geez,3rd target hit

[23:16:08 23/10/08] skipper : Hi stalion - I always seem to just miss you

[23:18:30 23/10/08] Stalion : sorry,man...being quite busy for a while

[23:19:37 23/10/08] fxjedi : should we be looking for a 4th target,stal?sorry if i'm been

greedy,lol

[22:21:54 23/10/08] Stalion : just keep your trailing stop on...like am doing...if there's

gonna be a 4th target, its going to get to 1.6390...after breaking resistance at 1.6346

[22:22:32 23/10/08] fxjedi : Black Friday!!

[22:23:09 23/10/08] skipper : stalion - whats the difference in pips between current price &

your trailing stop

[22:23:32 23/10/08] skipper : I always screw up trailing stops - too wide or too tight!

[22:26:01 23/10/08] Stalion : well, dats another lesson you can chalk in to ur trading

experience,skipper...a 15 to 35 pip trailing stop loss is okay...

[22:26:03 23/10/08] Stalion : brb

[22:27:44 23/10/08] skipper : thanks

[22:29:01 23/10/08] djcarlos : I, today was the worse day for me... I was lost

you think of volatility?

[10:06:22 24/10/08] Stalion : I do, man...but I follow my trading plan...and plan my

trading..

[10:06:49 24/10/08] Stalion : did you put a trailing stop on your cable short, K?

[10:15:44 24/10/08] skipper : morning- looks like you had a good night!

[10:16:15 24/10/08] djcarlos : Hi Stal,06.14a.m in chile, still in bed

[10:34:01 24/10/08] djcarlos : nex target???

[10:35:02 24/10/08] Stalion : Always remember yourtrailing stops!

[10:36:17 24/10/08] Stalion : 1.5220

[10:37:10 24/10/08] Stalion : this is real time trading, guys..no gimmicks..no fluffs..you

jus gotta be fast in intraday trading..

[10:38:45 24/10/08] didi : is it too late to enter the trade? was away for a while

[10:40:58 24/10/08] fxjedi : dunno

[10:41:47 24/10/08] didi : stal what do u think

[10:43:14 24/10/08] klho83 : Please send me text,I will away for an hour .thanks Stal..

[10:43:28 24/10/08] Stalion : Dont Catch Falling Knives

[10:43:53 24/10/08] skipper : Good call Stalion - took the signal - trailing stop on

[10:43:59 24/10/08] klho83 : if there is a trade signal..

[10:45:05 24/10/08] Stalion : you could put a sell stop at 1.5260...didi...

[10:45:11 24/10/08] Stalion : okay, K

[10:47:13 24/10/08] fxjedi : Minute chart will be like daychat...as i expected...Whats new to me is that 10 second chart is soon like daychart

[10:49:21 24/10/08] Stalion : lol...thats volatility for you, mon ami..

[10:50:01 24/10/08] Stalion : yeah...and due to huge volatility nowadays, a 40 pip stop loss is history...

[10:50:14 24/10/08] Stalion : thats where risk mgt comes in..

[10:51:22 24/10/08] Stalion : you gotta use micro lots, if possible, in order to accomodate our larger stop loss,so as to be able to fall within the 2 to 5% risk range

[10:52:42 24/10/08] fxjedi : Anyone else experiencing heart palpitations? LOL

[10:52:59 24/10/08] fxjedi : if the ranges get any bigger on my toy, I'm going to need new reading glasses to see the numbers

[10:55:04 24/10/08] Stalion : lol

[10:55:56 24/10/08] Stalion : assuming you have a 500 dollar account...what is 2% of 500 dollars,didi?

[10:56:40 24/10/08] didi : 10

[11:01:07 24/10/08] didi : am i right stal

[11:02:24 24/10/08] Stalion : that 2% is what makes you last 50 times in ur 500 dollar account in case of a losing streak...at $10 risk per trade, it falls within that range..

[11:03:30 24/10/08] Stalion : so in order to accomodate an 100 pip sl, you need not 1 minilot...but 1 micro lot..

[11:04:48 24/10/08] didi : how much is 1 micro lot

[11:08:35 24/10/08] fxjedi : i think 1 standard lot is $10, 1 minilot is $1, and 1 microlot is $0.1

[11:10:03 24/10/08] Stalion : something like that,jedi...depending on the curency pairs...

[11:11:28 24/10/08] Stalion : so,didi...i know you might think microlots are small..but

remember forex is not a get quick rich scheme..a $100 profit in 3 mins on a $500 account

sounds sexy in

[11:12:36 24/10/08] Stalion : trading...but a $100 loss on a $500 account doesnt...that means you have only 4 trades to go,if on a 100 dollar stop loss...

[11:15:03 24/10/08] Stalion : see what I meant by not catching falling knives?if you had entered at that time you said you wanted to, price has now retraced upwards like 200 pips..but placing a sell stop at 1.5260 would be more prudent

[11:31:42 24/10/08] fxjedi : trailing stop cancelled out

[11:35:11 24/10/08] masif1 : lol

[11:35:20 24/10/08] masif1 : catching falling knives!

[11:35:34 24/10/08] masif1 : very good metaphor

[14:47:08 24/10/08] Stalion : hope you guys made some money from our short gu call...though it hit target lightening fast, it was all good..

[14:48:22 24/10/08] Stalion : so we see price moving up, so we put a buy stop on GBPUSD @ 1.5688, 1st target @ 1.5755, 2nd target @ 1.5830...3rd target @ 1.5905

[14:49:13 24/10/08] Stalion : stop loss @ 1.5589..remember ur trailing stops and take half

profits when +20 pips ahead

[14:51:24 24/10/08] fxjedi : thanks for the sms,stal,1st target just hit

[14:57:12 24/10/08] djcarlos : hey, i dont see this alert

[14:57:18 24/10/08] djcarlos : saw

[14:57:38 24/10/08] djcarlos : can i enter now???

[14:59:17 24/10/08] fxjedi : am not sure,djcarlos,i got my alert some fifty minutes ago,so

my buy stop was already in

[15:01:14 24/10/08] djcarlos : ok thank, I was enter, and i exit whith 15 pips jeje thanks

[15:01:16 24/10/08] masif1 : damn another call i missed!

[15:01:35 24/10/08] masif1 : that's 3 very profit making calls today which i missed Sad

[15:02:38 24/10/08] fxjedi : sorry

[15:04:01 24/10/08] fxjedi : i only wonder how stallion does it,everywhere in

chaos,volatility breaking up traders accounts,but this guy is busy declaring profits

consistently,funny

[15:04:04 24/10/08] djcarlos : How can I get a SMS???

[15:04:50 24/10/08] fxjedi : 2ndtarget hit

[15:08:51 24/10/08] klho83 : Closed 135pips for the 3rd target!

[15:08:59 24/10/08] djcarlos : now is going down, catch the knife???

[15:09:48 24/10/08] klho83 : Best trade for the week! Thanks Stal!
