Hi Mr. H,

A while back, I think I sent you an email responding to one of your posts here and thanking you, but I think what happened that day is the Kreslik board got corrupted, and everyone lost a day or two of activity /posts ...so I believe it got lost with that, but no worries, all is good.

I am watching EJ here too. I like how you used the Momentum box, so I am applying the same here. This is what I see right now below. I am leaning towards a "short" here with a pullback to the momentum box area, so I need to see how this unfolds and if the opportunity presents itself...

Fib's line up perfectly with area's of possible support. I would watch the price of oil before I took a long term short outlook on this pair. But if it does I drew a ML for ya. Just showing how I look at things.

Hope u are still in EA, we finally got the break we were waiting for.


Damn West. Your CJ chart was spot freaking on. Hope u held and got a big part of that almost 300 pip run.

Weekly results: 142 pips

I entered trades on Sunday and Monday nights mainly, then woke up Tuesday, saw profits, took profits, and went flat for the week, which served me well as I had a busy week in other areas. I never saw this many pips in one or two days so mentally it was an adjustment for me in a good way.

It was a good week, and I have not looked at a 15 minute chart in a long time. In working these HTF trades, I am looking at Weekly, Daily, H4, H1. I am trying to find my niche with it still in terms of entries, risk, holding and exits. It is quite a different experience holding 1-2+ days vs. being in and out of a trade in minutes. Still processing, absorbing it all...

Mr Hyde: Thanks. Yes, I did get some pips from CJ (some, not all of them, LOL)

Here are some of the trades below where I exited and took a screenshot...

...And this is the one that got away. I just did not trust myself, and bailed early, just before it soared down one or two candles later into perfect pippage territory.
LOL, Oh well...it is what it is :)

142 pips off of sunday and Monday nights ( the slowest time to trade all week) and was flat by Tuesday. Hell *censored - swear word* yea. I see 500+ pips weeks in your future.

Today's trade was my kinda trade... into positive pips very fast, inside 10 hours from beginning to end....but it does not always go that way for me. Last couple weeks it was holding for 1-2 weeks to get close to my targets. This one below exited at 129 pips...

Very nice one!

I’m watching 10 charts atm just to follow volatility :lol:
ATR or EIGHTS could be a solution btw.. if we could predict which pair is going to MOVE in the next x period... :?:
