My pleasure. There are also some books by Bill Williams which are good to read. I am not so convinced about this alligator, but the fractals are imho very useful and in one of my EAs I use them together with other tools to get my edge.
Have to admit, the alligator thing doesnāt appeal to me, but I have an interest in the fractals. Iāll read what I can find on them and have a muck around in demo. Still looking at Donchian though in demo so fractals may have to wait a bit. Iām sure they wonāt mind !! 
Hell!! that is a perfect shortā¦ I guess you took it in that 1H chart pin barā¦unfortunately for me is bed time, some times I stay up but was too tired last night.
I am waiting for a retracement in this bearish engulfing formation to go short
Much the same idea but Iāve tried to buy in to the slight retrace.
This is FXCMās dollar index which Iām hoping will fall some which in turn should bounce the EU up a bit.
This is what, as you posted above, that dollar index chart translates to for the daily.
Iām 1 pip down as I write on my buy at 1-3741. But Iām not too worried as I have a very tight stop and only looking at a smallish target
yunny1. How do you get such big clear images of your charts. Mine seem very small and difficult to see in comparison. Pleae donāt say that size isnāt everything, I hear that enough from Mrs HoG !! LOL!
i just crop the image before postingā¦ so i only show the last candlesā¦I use paint.net software but any graphics program can do the work
Nice one HOGā¦ Iām long on the Asian myself at 1.3742. Its 01:50 GMT so will close it out until Frankfurt/ London for 20āish points and head up the hill and grab some ZZZās.
No off the 4hā¦ personally, I donāt go below the 4h, too many false signals for my taste. I have up 4h, daily, weekly and monthly. Nice to hear from you Yunny! 
Worked out well RC.
I.ve woke up a bit late this morning. For some strange reason Mrs HoG and the HoGettes decided to let me have a lay in. Wonder if they are unwell??
Anyway, up a bit late so have missed a bit of the action, but donāt want to dive straight in as I notice that although we did fall below 1-37, we still havenāt made a lower low than the 1-3686 on the 13th October :
May wait a little to see if we challenge that level again.
Taken a long off 1.3677 as weāve had the dog leg retrace and support looks pretty robustā¦ weāll see.
:20:
Finally I took a short last night at 1.3775ā¦ i going to hold it during US session unless a nasty reversalā¦ my TP is 13615
Took twenty points out of the bounce and holding onto half longā¦ still feel thereās an up before that fall off Yunny, but agreed, I see a possible 1.3581.
I chickened out after 1.3660 double rejection and closed the trade at 1.3685ā¦ +90 pips
waiting for another signal to short 
Same here.
I lost my bottle at 1.3664, so that is three of us. Pretty good return, though, interesting week on this Pair.
And I know, I know, I know I said that I was taking some time out, and I do still intend to post less - itās a jungle out there, these days, and a desire to wrestle with wild beasts was not why I joined this site - but I received a PM from Master Tang, and a couple from RCarter, and a couple of you on this thread said a couple of things that resonated, so I will stick around this thread and lurk on a couple of others and see how it goes. Thank you to all the positive voices.
HoG might have to have his doorman intervene, though, if stop runner has one too many and starts pot shotting.

Glad to hear that ST. FBād you the link by the wayā¦ Grav and Tymen are both there now.
Taking the babypips iPhone app for a spin right now with this post. Just worked out also what PM stands for. Dunno how to do that !!
Still hanging doors in my mothers house while this PA rages on. Funny thing I donāt remember seeing Gordon Gekko hanging doors in Wall St. No matter.
Iām sure there wonāt be any need for the doorman ST. Iāve always been a great believer in the old, " If you want a job done properly ā¦" adage. So Iām sure weāll muddle through. Bloody glad to hear youāre still with us though !!
Anyway, all this talk about trading is getting in the way of this Home DIY forum, or have I got that round the wrong way ??
Something everybody confesses from time to time, I guess. Me too, lol.
Well, regarding eurusd itās difficult right now. The down channel is broken to the upside, but jumped back in and now still going down. If I do not know what to do, I always have my bots. If I have an idea, I trade by hand as well. But not that often anymore.
Thank you - have just found my way around and have sent you a response.
But Gordon Geko is already middle-aged when that film starts. Iām sure he had years of DIY under his belt before he hit the big time. And at least you have an iPhone, thatās part of the trader lifestyle you have down. I have until 31st October to get one or I am stuck with the Blackberry for another year.
I have to pick up some expanding foam in the margins of the school run, later, my six year-old complaining that that hole I made in his bedroom wall into the adjoining loft makes him cold. Theyāre too soft, these days, kids, I had to run the central heating pipes somewhere and better his bedroom than mineā¦ this is the DIY forum, yes?
And to PM, there might be a quicker way, but if you click on someoneās screenname you can bring up their profile, and there is a box at the top letting you PM them. Iāll send you one, easy to reverse engineer it, then.
It is a bit mixed. I think that we will see more downside, that Price will break the current Support, maybe even test 1.3500ā¦ but was not confident enough in that to back it with money, so took my trade off the table and am happy with the decision. Interesting week, if not that profitable so far.
ST
Funny you should mention that, I thought at the time that Gordon Gekko bore a striking resemblance to the guy who converted our garage a few years ago. Maybe his Hedge Fund advertises as āGekkoās Financial Investments, kitchens, Bathrooms And Conservatoriesā. I suppose itās always good to have a plan B !
As for the kids complaining about being cold in their bedroom youāre right, theyāre far too soft. Tell them to be thankful theyāve GOT a bedroom.
Tried to reply to your PM. Dunno if it worked, thereās just as much chance it went to the Pope as where it was intended to go. Weāll call it the PM lottery.
Better get back to the doors. If I donāt hang them, someone will hang me.
