I am not God, I am not a crook : I will never pretend I can catch any given move from the beginning to its end. Never believe a guy who sa...

A warm hello to you all!  I am on the mountains with family to avoid the awful heat of this bloody summer. After some comments on the prev...

On the last trade, I moved the SL at +2 (from -10), as soon as I felt a little double top could happen there. I could lose the probable mo...

This is a typical example of what I am doing recently : wait for one of the numerous significant moves of CL during EVERY day and go with ...

The usual, violent moves of crude oil, up and down without reason. Easy pips, IF you respect the stop loss.

(Trading) cannot be simpler than that.

I risked on the first trade only, then I saw the shallow market and I went for the (very) little.

I got a few pips and then I left monitors to take care of my daughters. When I came back, price was 70 pips down...

What are 9 ticks for the huge volatility of crude oil? Almost nothing. That's why it is relatively easy to catch them. No need to know...

Back to trading after a loong time. I partially lost my reflexes and had to cope with fear. The fear was in the first and third trades w...

Historic buildings in the center of Athens, neoclassical jewels of the 19th century are burning this evening, at the moment we wait for th...

Hi Andrea, hi Christian! I hope you are fine and family too! I , personally disappeared from earth recently because i am in deep depres...

Almost a lucky trade in post-NFP session. Price had compassion for my large stoploss and resumed down to give some gains.

Too late (entry) for the second trade, on already extended price move. Better wait for the necessary little correction.

What a film! A splendid, nostalgic metaphor of the silent Hollywood movies era, with superb story, actors, art directing, photography, mus...

Happy new year to all! Back from a busy December with very little trading. I was then in the mountains, whithout connection, for the last ...

Had a great hour today with the sublime Anna Maria Jopek. A beautiful lady from Poland, a splendid voice, here with the great Pat Metheny....

I had some gains while e-mini got a steady pace just before the closing, when a news wire from European summit (Britain out of treaty) des...

A few ticks gain from a single trade, based on price action and trendlines only. Life is simple.

..Just an hour later and after a S&P anouncement, a big, big move. I wasn't there anymore..

Not much, on a quiet, boring Monday(till now). Even the crude oil is quiet today!..

3 little soldiers in 10 minutes and done (?) for the day.

Same session as on the previous post, but on a wave form. I think oil looks better on a wave.

Back to trading, after a long time. During my "vacation", I studied the behavior of several instruments on futures. Among them I...

The trend was strong and gave easy pips on the bwginning. Then, on the last two trades, a considerable risk was taken as I refused to clos...

The first trade could be closed earlier. An earlier exit could also give an earlier entry short. So the first short entry came late and, a...

I have the "privilege" to get up every morning to see how the crooked (or silly?) politicians of my country destroy this beautif...

As I wrote in the previous post, entering at the resistance and going for the breakout is dangerous for my approach. Today I entered at th...

I have stopped trading in the last days because of a health problem. I had only these trades a couple of days ago. As price was going to b...

"Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the en...

Last hour of the US session. I had the last ticks of the extreme sell off, then I felt that the market was going to correct a little befor...

Late session again, just before the Friday's close. First trade entered late and gave a predictable loss. Second one was even worse, a...

Not much on this late session (busy week for me) when market is calm, preparing for the last move before the bell. Not expect more this ho...

  Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar: The Technical Analysis of Price Action for the Serious Trader (Wiley Trading) "This is not a book o...

Back to charts, after a week of business traveling. I missed all the sound and the fury of previous days but I kept my rule to not trade i...

No tricks at this NY opening : a straight, easy to catch, move up and then, boredom.

Quick gains and the priviledge to close for Friday and week early.

Risk taken at the last trade. But risk is considerably lower on E-mini trading (compared to highly volatile eur/usd). So this instrument &qu...

One more day with S&P future and I am more than delighted! Razor-sharp precise moves and executions, no instant pull-backs (just to hit ...

A few ticks here and there, on ES again.

I am a Gemini by sign and conviction : I cannot stay in one place, occupied with just one thing. Although profitable on the eur/usd market, ...

Eur/usd was in an almost perfect stuttering mode during my absence. Obviously the stakes are elsewhere for now : on eur/chf (spectacular dro...

All good things come to an end, so did my vacation on the mountains and lakes...I was running around this lake every morning in the past wee...

I am on the mountains with family now and i intend to stay here till Aug. 15! My happiest period of the year, I am delighted to spend all m...

Despite my false direction at the start, I took fastly (10 minutes) my 20 pips for the day and closed charts.

First trade was an easy one : last move up propulsed by the previous steam and sharp move (see the slope of the band). I knew it was probabl...
