Re: Reading Charts in Real Time

The only possible trade that I see right now is UJ.
If I would have to bet I would say that the most likely direction is up.
I have decided to take the trade.

Now if you could just get rid of those MA's, we'd be in business

Another thing that I a paying attention to is the size of my trade.

No more (or atleast I am trying). When in doubt I reduce my position size to a minimum. I have doubled up only twice in recent days. Once when I was profitable and once when I was not but I was convinced that my setup was valid but I may have entered too early. Both cases worked out in my favour.

The difference now is that I have a trading plan and I am fully devoted to my success in this field.

Way to go, Gabe!

BTW I was stopped out on my UJ trade for a 10 pip loss.

another BTW. My chart looks fuzzy but I don't know why. It is not a compressed image and it looks OK when view from the original on my computer.
Any ideas?

Actually I found that PAINT (the program I use to put the lines on the chart IS optimizing the picture to reduce it's size and thus the fuzzy picture, so I am switching to another program.

If you use Vista, there is a snip tool you can use to just save a selected part of the screen as a jpeg file. If you don't have vista, there is probably a "snag it" program you can download for free on the internet that will do the same thing.
