How do you think you all would do if you had none of the extras you do? Just a chart and the TV for company....?!
Hi Wasp,

You fella's from the other site sure have some cool handles. You'll have to excuse our lack of inventiveness where nicks are concerned, we don't get out much

We would do just fine my friend, just fine.

I see the same price as you.
You can plot a supply & demand zone or line just as easily as I can from the exact same data.
You got bars & candles on your software just the same design as I have.
You can fire off a buy or sell clip loaded with a bullet full of booty just as effortlessly as I can.

There's so much quality information out there these days for everyone to assemble. Prices are tight due to the sheer variety & depth of available content. There's never been a better time to set your stall out.

If you've got a good framework, a balanced attitude, common sense & the ability to filter information then the rewards are truly unlimited.

The good news is this business attracts all kinds of weird & wonderful characters

There's always a regular flow of naive & totally unprepared punters to feed off.

That 'other site' was limited in trading talk so you had to entertain yourself somehow!! Anna-maria came up with one but see she didn't bother here

Ahh, yes she's a worldly wise trading journey(wo)man who thinks nothing of elbowing her way into all sorts of dingy dens of iniquity we're not so adventurous I'm afraid. And judging by the activity today, I'm not surprised.

My head & keyboard fingers are hurting. This forum chatting lark is virtually a full-time job. My lord, I'll have Mr Krantz docking my ticket if he opens up this page & counts my roll call this afternoon

Regards the info or lack thereof: Sorry, I meant that if we were both chalking off a blank canvas, working our ticket out of a home office, then we'd be utilizing pretty similar info streams?

However, like I said; the variety of quality information (squawk, sheets etc) out there these days is certainly within the reach of a well organized & switched on retail operator.

What if I don't use Bollinger bands, Divergence or CCI?

If I strictly utilize Price Action, Volume and Reading the bars- I can only assume these principles will still apply?
It was only an example of a set-up/trigger Aaron. If those price aid combo's aren't to your liking, then fair enough. The point I was trying to make is, there are numerous little pearls one can assemble to take advantage of a specific short or mid term play. That's merely one which I particularly enjoy batting around when circumstances dictate.

Yours could be on a similar theme or completely different. The important thing is, whatever you use needs to suit your style, comfort zone & risk profile.

Folks will often take a set-up & strip it back. Bin one piece & replace it with another. Mix & match the base of a set-up with something they find useful & responsive.

As long as it does what it's intended, then all good & well. If you use price & volume in harmony with bars on & around key levels or zones, then you need to get that gig nailed down real tight.

You should be able to open up your tech graphs, flip through your timeframe menu & quickly adjudge whether you're good to go or not according to market conditions.

If you got your strategy well & truly wired into the mains, then you'll easily recognize your Grade A playing field by the way the techs are playing ball.

Can't fault your logic. I am however an inveterate contrarian for a start, so that does tend to colour my view (sometimes for better, sometimes for worse).

In any case, having thought about it, AUD/CHF seemed a better way to play it.
You'd hit it off well with our Poppa then. I'm certain that old poop goes out of his way to ratchet a contrarian angle every chance he gets

That AUDCHF is a very neat technical play indeed. I guess you been running it from last week? Nice shift thru the gears @ .9800 via the pullback from early month. Be interesting to see who comes out to play up here @ 1.0100.

Looks like you might get a better value bite at your EURAUD yet
They're definitely trying to cut a base out down there. Certainly in no hurry to plumb the depths of sub 1.6200 today anyhow.

Agree with little sis though, I'd prefer to hang my hat on a more substantial peg for a trip back up.

Good luck & good trading (with either or)

She is indeed torero.

Apparently there's another one (Tess) waiting in the wings too.

Think I'll arrange a jawbone gig with Soultrader & plump for a hostile buy-out play
