Helloo Folks, We thank God for bringing us to the begining of another brand new week and we give Him the glory in ALL things.. This is Stallion,veteran forex trader and mentor. I would be reviewing strategic tips on how the major currency pairs can be milked. Though I specialize in gbpusd, other pairs would also be taken into consideration during our analysis. It has been theorized that your state of mind will dictate your trading methods. Experts in the field of trading psychology have pinpointed three main states of mind and how each has a direct effect on a trader's profitability. These three mind states are "having", "doing" and "being". Psychologists have noted that those new to trading start with a "having" state of mind. As they gain more experience, they move on to a "doing" state of mind. The pinnacle of profitability occurs when a trader moves into the last and final "being" frame of mind. The "Having" Mind Set A novice trader may focus primarily on profits. In this "having" state of mind, they are out of sync with the markets. They are blinded by their obsession to obtain the all mighty dollar and what it can afford them. Trading is not viewed as a job that must be mastered, but as a vehicle to escape from a world of mediocrity. Many traders are in the business to make money, as well as they should be. However, if they are blinded by greed, they tend to take uncalculated risks. Looking at the potential payoff without carefully calculating market trends and other factors is a recipe for disaster. It is impossible to graduate to a high performance level when you concentrate on "having" instead of how the game is won. If you trade in a "having" frame of mind, you may become frustrated when profits are not immediately forthcoming. With frustration comes a lack of focus. Without the ability to focus, you cannot gain knowledge from your experience on the trading field. Other negative consequences of this mindset are feelings of frustration and anger. Frustration stemming from a lack of expected profits and anger directed at oneself or the market in general. These adverse emotions will only cause further decline in profitability. Without witnessing gains from one's efforts, an individual may not give their best and may be tempted to "throw in the towel". The "Doing" State of Mind If an individual continues on to trade another day, they will eventually move from a "having" to a "doing" state of mind. Learning that there is more to trading than the amassing of money, a trader will turn their focus on learning new methods of trading and what does and doesn't work. This state of mind is still primarily centered on how to turn a profit. Although a "doing" mind state is essential to becoming a seasoned adept trader, the main focus is still short of the mark. It is crucial to know what works and what doesn't. However, a skilled trader will tell you there is more to the business then choosing one method and using it arbitrarily to make trades across the board. Becoming a trader of means requires not only a winning attitude, but also a fine honing of trading skills. To develop these skills, you must make trades using various methods under a wide spectrum of market conditions. Only then can you develop the needed intuition to master the art of trading. Pinnacle of Profitability: The "Being" State of Mind A successful trader almost instinctively knows how to make a trade using the best method available for the current market trend and/or condition. This ability does not occur overnight. It is only accomplished through perseverance, knowledge of various trading methods and learning which one works given a particular market condition. No trade is ever a "sure thing". However, a profitable synchronicity almost naturally occurs when you are faced with a potential trade, have a feel for the current market trends and conditions, and utilize the method best suited for a potential payoff. This "being" state of mind ultimately lends itself to long-term success in the high stakes of trading. So for today,Sunday the 16th of November,we await the opening bell of the Asian Session to commence trading.. 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
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.. Maybe, jeff15...maybe.. 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 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.. No probs, delv..We all learn and earn more and more...
Nice one, jeffsmith, keep it coming.. 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.. [11:11:55 19/11/08] Stalion: hi everyone [11:12:17 19/11/08] Maximus : Hey Stalion good to hear from you.. [11:14:08 19/11/08] djcarlos : Hi [11:16:02 19/11/08] Stalion : cool...

[11:56:07 19/11/08] djcarlos : I saw in dailyfx.com that GU will going to make pivot in 1.5050 [11:56:34 19/11/08] Stalion : no...delete the sell stop entry for now, since market dynamics have changed [11:56:46 19/11/08] djcarlos : ok [11:57:00 19/11/08] Maximus : thx... [11:57:03 19/11/08] Stalion : hope you got ur trailing stop on [11:58:00 19/11/08] Stalion : what kind of pivot,dj? what do you mean about pivot at 1.5050 [11:58:03 19/11/08] Maximus : exit 1.5045 because only trading 0.10 lots.. [11:58:35 19/11/08] djcarlos : I can send to you the chart by mail [11:59:07 19/11/08] klho83 : Is the sell stop still valid? [11:59:48 19/11/08] masif1 : i have left the sell in place [11:59:54 19/11/08] Stalion : it doesnt matter, max..you could close half of the 0.1 lot ...as in, 0.05..the allow d other half to ride with a trailing stop.. [20:33:40] Stalion : hi folks, its a cool evening here in the city of Lagos, so we put a buy stop on GBPUSD @ 1.5045..1st target at 1.5070...2nd taRGET AT 1.5095..3rd target at 1.5120...50 pip sl away And we also put a sell stop on GBPUSD @ 1.4970...1st target @ 1.4945..2nd target @ 1.4920..3rd target @ 1.4895.. We call it TRAPPING THE DRAGON TECHNIqueza
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.. 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! 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.. [20:45:50 19/11/08] Maximus : ok I got it, thx Stalion..... [20:50:33 19/11/08] djcarlos : thanks Stal [09:24:57 20/11/08] klho83 : I missed that [10:31:43 20/11/08] klho83 : Hi Max. [10:58:56 20/11/08] masif1 : guys stalion did NOT post the following alert [10:59:05 20/11/08] masif1 : And we also put a sell stop on GBPUSD @ 1.4970...1st target @ 1.4945..2nd target @ [11:00:48 20/11/08] masif1 : 1.4920..3rd target @ 1.4895..

[11:06:59 20/11/08] masif1 : i know i should not have cancelled it ;( so for Friday,we put a buy stop on GBPUSD @ 1.4865...1st target @ 1.4900...2nd target @ 1.4950...3rd target @ 1.5050
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.. Yes, we surely will,Reeal... '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..whichever one comes first Not sure,kong.. 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.. technamental wrote: You are quite mistaken, my good fellow..maybe there's a slight misunderstanding here...I intract by answering comments and questions addressed in this thread..Just by reading your posts along with others, here, shows inclusion..I'm sorry if it seems self promoting to you, but I believe readers have a lot to gain when going through this thread,whether participating or non participating..very educative and reveals how real life practical trading works..no spouting of theories that brings no profits to members..Why cover the light under a basket in darkness? The purpose and nature of light is to shine! This is like a JOURNEY...A JOURNEY INTO THE HEART OF TRADING...A MOVEMENT...A MOVEMENT INTO THE FRONTIERS OF OPPORTUNITIES! And if along the way, showing that trading can be a winner's game..or something good can come out of my country Nigeria, despite all the media negativity...if considered as self promoting..then so be it...Cant win'em all, can we?

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.. Hmmm, Mageroi, you might be quite right there..though they still have their uses..Is Time Projection a core strategy of Buffetology? Well, Mahir, just dont overlook GOLD as an alternative asset class, that traders run to during periods of market uncertainity. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081129/ap_on_bi_ge/ml_opec_meeting Even lower, danew...Price on the cable have up to 9 months to prove it. 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
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.
