just tidying up any other loose ends from yesterday....heres the post mortem on my comment above when GBP looked to be the bull elephant to buy and I was expressing a little worry when we switched to the 500ma to see its position ....which was overbought !!!

and sure enough we see it never really cut it from then on in as it faded south.....

in this game you play the percentages and only trade when the percentages are good...in this case the GBP was the bull buy on our 80/20 system but in that Zone on the 500ma why take the risk ?......

now if it had been coming out of the more neutral Zones (nearer the Zero) I would have been happier to trade it......:smart:

Note this 5min 500ma template is available somewhere in the thread .....somewhere !!

hey all

I get a lot of private messages re Trading and my FREE system here so thankyou for that and the kind comments

(please send to [email protected] and I will always get back to you as soon as I can)

meanwhile I do see a lot of people looking for clarity, accuracy,reliability and (near) perfection in their prescribed approach to trading and the results it will then bring

Clarity ?..........Accuracy ?..........Perfection?.........Reliability ?

Jees .......who told you guys it was like this in the crazy world of trading ?.......it was those nice people in that $2,000+ dollar course wasnt it......sorry - if you want guarantees buy a washing machine :p

thats why the rewards are high for those that persevere and succeed.....they are taking all the money off of the others that hav'nt yet got it...and never will

hmmmm

I get the anticipated move on a rising USD , but GBP will not fall......Damn :mad:

in my approach all I have to do is get one currency direction right and I stay neutral / low loss levels........high probability trading

N

YES YES YES.....you can see the damn currency that fell - its blue and i'm going to shoot it

Hi, I'm fairly new here myself. My suggestion to you is to keep reading even though you're starting to grasp it. I've been reading and reading and the more you learn, the more you need to learn. Congrats on success so far. But there really is a lot more to learn. Hang in for the ride of your life.

Hey N,
At long last I'm on my new platform. I'm still setting up the charts though. Get back to you soon.

Oh by the way, should I keep using the split chart as well as the one with the 80, 20, etc....in the middle with the Dow on the end? Or should I just use the simple Corrie as my leftmost chart?

its up to you M, its all about taste and what you like to see

(we are talking about the triple arrow verion available on page 529)

less is more on a chart for me and make sure you have nothing duplicating as its wasting space and eyeballpower - although an arrow doesnt tell you the exact positions of the currencies like a line chart does .......personal taste

man o man ........do I just love the Asian sessions :clap:

:mad::(

I'm not having a party. I could spit nails right now!!!

I went hopping through hoops at FXCM after being assured that I would have the platform I needed. In fact, the demo account was so perfect and I thought that when I traded brokers and deposited all my funds that I would be sitting pretty.

I am so angry. It took forever to get the darn thing connected because something was wrong on their end.

Then finally I'm connected and lo and behold, the markescope is entirely different than my demo account!!!

So I immediately went on chat and had a tantrum because I was given the same old message that I have been receiving for over a month now.

"We can't allow for U.S. citizens to trade those."

I ask you this then, why tell me I can, why give me a demo that does? It makes no sense whatsoever.

I'm withdrawing my funds from them and going back to my broker.

I will need to figure out a way to play the Corrie where it is about as accurate and as close as I can get to having the Dow.

I tried using the demo alongside my regular broker and I have to tell you, it's a real pain in the butt switching around all day long. It doesn't give you a cohesive picture when you are darting back and forth between two brokers even though you have them up side-by-side. I mean there is only so much screen space on a computer.

I'm sick. I'm tired. I'm going to bed. You all will have to party without me.

So you see N? Here is your ranting Corrie girl.

Perhaps my dear N.....there is a need to take the US citizens into consideration where we don't have to spend weeks and weeks looking for a broker to give us the DOW.
:( :confused: :help:
