In trading equities, there is usually an interesting progression of events which also translates (somewhat) into trading forex.
when a stock is going up, having been kicked in the butt by “something”, you find that the first day is pretty much nothing but straight up with only the most minor of retraces — on DAY 2, the stock continues up, retracing around 10:30 EST and then moving back up to the closing price after 2:30 PM EST.
on DAY 3, the stock will GAP for the open and reverse no later than 10:30 - 11 AM, EST and either close lower that day, or wait for the next day to sell off BIG, for the next 2 days, which if im correct in my counting, equals ONE WEEK of which one is using the daily chart to trade.
FOREX is now doing something very similar, but the books you read were written back when the stock market BEHAVED as written — these days the stock market simply goes up a bit and then gets shorted back to earth.
there are no true lovers out there, only men with fast hands and a “quick” look at life — sooner or later we will return to foreplay and pillow talk, but right now its WHAM, BAM ---- thank you . . . . . . . .
for the women traders out there, please excuse what appears sexist, but definitely not intended, as the male of the species is well known for his glandular responses to testosterone driven situations.
For me, women are the most wonderous of creatures, and in no way would i care to insult a single beautiful soul !
Hopefully soon we can get back to loving, and not “quickies !”
enjoy and trade well

As a child, i used to watch from the darkness as the secrets were debated and annotated by the elders. No one there held a single thought of my presence – BUT I KNOW WHERE THEY HID THE KEY !! [/I][/B]
