Helloo Folks,
We thank God for bringing us to the begining of another brand new week and we give Him the

glory in ALL things..

This is Stallion,veteran forex trader and mentor. I would be reviewing strategic tips on

how the major currency pairs can be milked. Though I specialize in gbpusd, other pairs

would also be taken into consideration during our analysis.

It has been theorized that your state of mind will dictate your trading methods. Experts in

the field of trading psychology have pinpointed three main states of mind and how each has a

direct effect on a trader's profitability.

These three mind states are "having", "doing" and "being". Psychologists have noted that

those new to trading start with a "having" state of mind. As they gain more experience,

they move on to a "doing" state of mind. The pinnacle of profitability occurs when a trader

moves into the last and final "being" frame of mind.



The "Having" Mind Set
A novice trader may focus primarily on profits. In this "having" state of mind, they are

out of sync with the markets. They are blinded by their obsession to obtain the all mighty

dollar and what it can afford them. Trading is not viewed as a job that must be mastered,

but as a vehicle to escape from a world of mediocrity.

Many traders are in the business to make money, as well as they should be. However, if they

are blinded by greed, they tend to take uncalculated risks. Looking at the potential payoff

without carefully calculating market trends and other factors is a recipe for disaster.

It is impossible to graduate to a high performance level when you concentrate on "having"

instead of how the game is won. If you trade in a "having" frame of mind, you may become

frustrated when profits are not immediately forthcoming. With frustration comes a lack of

focus. Without the ability to focus, you cannot gain knowledge from your experience on the

trading field.

Other negative consequences of this mindset are feelings of frustration and anger.

Frustration stemming from a lack of expected profits and anger directed at oneself or the

market in general. These adverse emotions will only cause further decline in profitability.

Without witnessing gains from one's efforts, an individual may not give their best and may

be tempted to "throw in the towel".



The "Doing" State of Mind
If an individual continues on to trade another day, they will eventually move from a

"having" to a "doing" state of mind. Learning that there is more to trading than the

amassing of money, a trader will turn their focus on learning new methods of trading and

what does and doesn't work.

This state of mind is still primarily centered on how to turn a profit. Although a "doing"

mind state is essential to becoming a seasoned adept trader, the main focus is still short

of the mark. It is crucial to know what works and what doesn't. However, a skilled trader

will tell you there is more to the business then choosing one method and using it

arbitrarily to make trades across the board.

Becoming a trader of means requires not only a winning attitude, but also a fine honing of

trading skills. To develop these skills, you must make trades using various methods under a

wide spectrum of market conditions. Only then can you develop the needed intuition to

master the art of trading.



Pinnacle of Profitability: The "Being" State of Mind
A successful trader almost instinctively knows how to make a trade using the best method

available for the current market trend and/or condition. This ability does not occur

overnight. It is only accomplished through perseverance, knowledge of various trading

methods and learning which one works given a particular market condition.

No trade is ever a "sure thing". However, a profitable synchronicity almost naturally

occurs when you are faced with a potential trade, have a feel for the current market trends

and conditions, and utilize the method best suited for a potential payoff. This "being"

state of mind ultimately lends itself to long-term success in the high stakes of trading.


Our last target on Friday (1.5905) was finally hit, which in itself , was the 60% SELL

WINDOW of the previous trend..I know..I know...everyone says we should sell during price

rallies( rise) when the trend is down but we bought...and 217 pips came out of that

decision.
Now as the time of writing,(5.50 GMT Sunday), price on the GBPUSD 15min closed on Friday

with a bearish candle..
Observe that that close(1.5903) was at the region of the 60% SELL WINDOW, which usually

foretells a turnaround in price...which, in this case, pausing from its prevailing uptrend

to a much probable downtrend.
But the question is ''HOW FAR IS PRICE GOING ON ITS PERCIEVED BEARISH MOVEMENT?
We've, to a considerable extent, determined the direction of GBPUSD on the 15 minute chart,

as bearish...so now, we are looking at HOW FAR this bearish move might likely go..That is

the essence of the CHART PATTERN RECOGNITION AND PRICE PROJECTION STRATEGY.
That , my friends, is what we term the ''60% Beethoven Cantata in B Major''..
Those numbers, 1-2-3 was observed to continue and recur upwards in the prevailing

uptrend...so we extrapolate them on our next anticipated downtrend...



High=1.6326-Low 1.5262=0.1064
0.6*0.1064=0.06384(range)
1.5262+0.06384=1.5900 ( 60% sell window).

high 1.5943 - low 1.5747= 0.0196
0.6*0.0196=0.01176(range)
1.5747+0.01176=1.5865(60% window) 1st target to the downside..

2nd target @ 1.5666...3rd target @ 1.5523....

In less than 4 hours from now, the forex markets will open, with the Asian Session leading

the pack..Only time would tell if our targets are hit...Remember there's no 100% perfection

in the markets..Anything can happen..thats why proper risk management is important..
Proper money management dictates we fix our stop loss above the high of 1.5943, when going

short(selling).tHats like 40 pips above the close of 1.5903.
A bearish gap to the downside might also likely form at the opening bell which shows

oversold orders pouring in the markets..
Please feel free to make any comments or ask questions..

Hi willabala, thanks for your constructive criticism...well, the last high on friday of

1.5933 is a significant resistance because it is the current MAJOR HIGH...Price needs to

break above that level to confirm a bullish trend. Can you please tell us your reasons for

going long at 1.59?



This is like a case study of different traders with different bias (long and short).. At

that 1.59 level, you were in favour of a buy position while I was in favour of a sell

position..For me, that level was SELL WINDOW in which my bias would be short...Even if I

want to go long, I would have gone for the first pyschological level @ 1.5940...which gave

strong resistance,before price started retracing downwards..1.595 would be pushing it when

price is already giving signals its overbought and at the sell window..
Well, we all learn everyday,mon ami..

Can you tell us the reasons you took a long trade instead of a short,willaballa?Did you

notice the bearish gap?



Thanks,Dave...you were right...the price targets were hit some hours after the ''Beethoven

Cantata In B Major'' call...extra 200 pips were left hanging on the table..

[08:35:41 27/10/08] Stalion : for 3 targets, you close a third (1/3) of your original

[08:37:30 27/10/08] monkeymagic : great thanks for that

[08:56:43 27/10/08] Stalion : please take a third(1/3) profit when +20 pips ashead...

[08:57:00 27/10/08] Stalion : and shift stop loss to entry point



[13:08:20 27/10/08] Stalion : so skipper, how long have you been trading? 2yrs?

[13:09:07 27/10/08] skipper : Hi Stalion - just over a year now & it's been a bumpy ride.

[13:09:43 27/10/08] djcarlos : I have been 3 years, but I was lost in 2 times... but now

with the alerts... im going well

[13:13:32 27/10/08] Stalion : what are the particular challenges you guys are facing in

trading???where would you like to become better?

[13:14:19 27/10/08] skipper : I have trouble deciding on entry points.

[13:14:41 27/10/08] skipper : I seem to have the right idea, but always a bit early in.

[13:15:16 27/10/08] skipper : But I am getting better - just have to be more patient

[13:16:18 27/10/08] Stalion : Timing of entries is one of skipper's challenges...like every

other trader...

[13:16:29 27/10/08] Stalion : dj?

[13:16:32 27/10/08] enolase : Fibonacci is something I would really want to learn

[13:16:48 27/10/08] enolase : so as to be able to get in on retracements

[13:16:56 27/10/08] Stalion : enolase?

[13:17:03 27/10/08] Stalion : ohh,okay

[13:17:37 27/10/08] enolase : Friday was one of the few times i was able to plot and enter

at 38.2 retracement on EURJPY that gave me80 pips in profit

[13:18:08 27/10/08] enolase : but i have never been able to determine properly where to

start the plotting of the Fibo lines from

[13:18:18 27/10/08] enolase : using my chat software

[13:18:39 27/10/08] enolase : sorry i mean using my MT4 chart Fibo tool

[13:20:37 27/10/08] enolase : if i can determine exactly where to start the plotting from so

one can re-enter on a 50% or 61.8% Fibo retracement level, it will really enhance my trading

[13:26:43 27/10/08] Stalion : fibo's not that hard,enolase...but it will take a little time

before you can get used to practicing it

[13:39:13 27/10/08] Stalion : djcarlos...? any forex challenges or problems you want to

overcome?

[13:41:07 27/10/08] djcarlos : yes, I want to start to learn about ways to determine entry

points... in technical and fundamental analisis

[13:42:10 27/10/08] skipper : same here

[13:42:45 27/10/08] djcarlos : I have the knowledge, but i must practice

[13:43:55 27/10/08] enolase : Stal, do we have a potential double bottom forming on the 1hr

chart of EURJPY?

[13:48:51 27/10/08] enolase : and what is this talk of a Yen Intervention?

[14:01:37 27/10/08] Stalion : yea...practice makes perfect,dj

[14:02:27 27/10/08] Stalion : even with all d knowldge and skills in ur disposal,if you dont

practice daily, its wasted..

[14:04:45 27/10/08] Stalion : sorry, mate....that double top on the EURJPY looks weak...kind

of sliding price down to the right

[14:05:01 27/10/08] enolase : yes

[14:05:44 27/10/08] djcarlos : thanks........ Im looking Eur/Jpy chart, and it could be

interesting sell order.... what do you think???

[14:06:54 27/10/08] enolase : of course there are rulesfor entering based on double top:

placing a pending order at the "neck"

[14:07:00 27/10/08] enolase : the neck is still over 300 pips northwards

[14:09:21 27/10/08] Stalion : it would have been a 1-2-3 bottom but the recent low at 9 a.m

this morning breached the previouslow that was there at 113.77

[14:17:28 27/10/08] Stalion : price is moving rather slow...

[14:21:21 27/10/08] Stalion : I suggest a break ...from the screens...we come back in a

hour's time or so...so we put a sell stop @ 113.60...1st target @ 113.10..on the

EURJPY...GBPUSD has more upside momentum than EURJPY...yen is just lagging behind...

[14:22:21 27/10/08] Stalion : maybe cable might give yen some added lift?

[14:28:09 27/10/08] Stalion : a breach above the high of 116.83 would foretell a bullish

move

[14:30:28 27/10/08] Stalion : cool

[14:31:30 27/10/08] Stalion : that could mean the formation of the 1-2-3 pattern

[14:36:43 27/10/08] djcarlos : its ready the entry order

[14:36:55 27/10/08] djcarlos : im waiting

[15:18:31 27/10/08] Stalion : We also put a pending buy stop order on EURJPY @

117.10,1sttarget @ 118.00, 2nd target @ 118.95...3rd target @ 120.53...stop loss @116.10

[15:19:02 27/10/08] Stalion : this ensures we catch any surprise bullish move to the north

[15:54:12 27/10/08] enolase : hi people

[15:55:42 27/10/08] djcarlos : Hi did you see the alerts??

[15:56:53 27/10/08] enolase : yes

[15:56:58 27/10/08] enolase : the GU trade has triggered

[15:57:55 27/10/08] enolase : so we watch it

[15:58:58 27/10/08] skipper : Missed the alert - where was it?

[16:00:28 27/10/08] djcarlos : Enolase... you will open the GU alert again??

[16:00:33 27/10/08] skipper : sorry - being stupid - I did see it!

[16:00:40 27/10/08] skipper : Have short on

[16:06:20 27/10/08] enolase : The ECB President has just hinted on a rate cut at the next

meeting!

[16:07:42 27/10/08] djcarlos : what that means???

[16:07:52 27/10/08] djcarlos : GU is going down??

[16:19:31 27/10/08] enolase : we got stopped out

[16:20:02 27/10/08] enolase : and the market seems headed in a range bound direction. so i'm

taking a break

[16:26:34 27/10/08] djcarlos : mmmm i was open again the alert... bad idea..

[18:45:17 27/10/08] djcarlos : HI good news 1st target of 118.00 was hit.... thanks Stal 100

pips in the badge

[23:37:50 27/10/08] Stalion : cool,djcarlos

[23:39:11 27/10/08] Stalion : 377,44,and 90 pips netted us a total of 511 pips,$511

Good evening,Ladies and Gentlemen,
Hope you'all having a lovely weekend...?
As at 10pm Nigerian time, we await the opening bells of the Asian Session in which the

GBPUSD(cable) closed on a bearish note last week Friday..Our stop loss was put at the recent

high of 1.6164,which was the most recent intermediate high..Price would have to breach that

resistance level, a few inches below the DRAGON FIST.. in order to confirm a bullish drive..

[11:11:38 31/10/08] Stalion : so we put a sell stop on gu @ 1.6100...1st target @

1.6045...2nd target @ 1.5975...sl@ 1.6185

Rumours of Bank Of Japan's(BOJ) intervention to sell Japanese yen in the markets so as to

reduce the value of the yen, might see it decline against major pairs..

Now where do we think GBPUSD is going? Up? Down? Sideways Consolidation?
Well, the last complete candle to the right was a bearish one...and the most recent

incomplete candle, in which price pierced the low of the last complete candle, also suggests

a bearish note...
But I could hear someone bluster..''But Stallion, isnt price at the 60% buy window?shouldnt

we expect price to go up, instead of down?
Well, from the way I see it, price should be ready to be retracing back up..but it met the

DRAGON FIST...If the market opens with a bearish gap today, there's a very good chance of it

reaching for our 3rd target point of 1.5922



1.6252-1.6033=0.0219
1.6141-0.0219=1.5922( 3rd target point)


Only time will tell if our trade call is correct...Remember dont try this at home...dont try

the DRAGON FIST at home...

[10:27:42 04/11/08] Stalion : helloo everyone

[10:28:19 04/11/08] Stalion : sorry for the late entrance...internet connection here was

pretty bad lately...

[10:30:03 04/11/08] Stalion : fortunately, we are still on no man's land for now...price is

still looking for where to head to

[10:36:03 04/11/08] Stalion : eventually price still went way below and beyond our Dragon

Fist call

[10:36:13 04/11/08] Stalion : the sell order

[10:38:09 04/11/08] Stalion : so we put a buy order on gbpusd @ 1.5835...1st target @ 1.5885

[10:41:51 04/11/08] Stalion : 2nd target @ 1.5960...3rd target @ 1.6035

[10:42:37 04/11/08] Stalion : sl@1.5735

[10:47:14 04/11/08] Stalion : thats like a 100 pip sl...so we use proper risk mgt....we take

off half profits when we are +20 pips ahead..then shift our 100 pip sl back to original

entry

[10:51:46 04/11/08] djcarlos : Stal, the change is +20 pips above the entry point or 1st

target???

[10:52:04 04/11/08] djcarlos : yes its ready, thanks a lot

[11:15:39 04/11/08] Stalion : +20 pips above entry is better due to recent volatility in the

markets..

[11:18:39 04/11/08] fxjedi : Cheers my friend, i hope you are survivng these crazy volatile

markets. I must say in my 20 years of trading Forex i have not seen so much panicking and

shortage of liquidity, I am so pleased i continued developing my in house programmes , been

spending a great deal of time on them this year , to keep me ahead. GL/GT

[11:34:46 04/11/08] djcarlos : hit 1st, I was move the SL and I take 25%.... thanks Stal

getting to our 2nd target

[12:58:00 04/11/08] fxjedi : not sure if it could break ,stal

[16:44:24 04/11/08] Stalion : if you were not in already, I suggest you step aside for

[16:45:35 04/11/08] djcarlos : thanks

[16:46:42 04/11/08] Stalion : you might still put a buy stop at 1.6060,for a 40 pip profit

on our 4th target of 1.6100

[09:11:20 07/11/08] klho83 : Stal I missed the last trade

[09:12:10 07/11/08] Stalion : yesterday's?

[09:12:39 07/11/08] Stalion : hi Maximus...

[09:15:05 07/11/08] Stalion : we put a buy stop on gbpusd @ 1.5731...1st target @

1.5775...2nd target @ 1.5825...50 pip sl away..

[09:15:22 07/11/08] Stalion : yes,maximus...where are you from?

[09:15:50 07/11/08] Maximus : Canada, Qc

[09:16:25 07/11/08] Maximus : are you from Côte d'ivoire

[09:17:42 07/11/08] Stalion : Nope....I'm a Nigerian....and quite proud to be one too...

[09:17:52 07/11/08] Stalion : A Quebecker?

[09:18:07 07/11/08] Stalion : Bonjour mon ami...

[09:18:18 07/11/08] klho83 : Smile

[09:18:46 07/11/08] Maximus : bonjour à toi...

[09:19:29 07/11/08] Maximus : Is there any 3nd target...

[09:20:23 07/11/08] Stalion : we first get to 2nd target before a 3rd,Max....it depends on

the upward momentum...

[09:21:17 07/11/08] Maximus : Yes but how many lot or contract are you entering with...

[09:23:16 07/11/08] Stalion : mine's different from yours,Max...I also manage accounts of

different lot sizes..

[09:25:31 07/11/08] Stalion : soo,what size lot are you thinking of using or have

used???Remember risk mgt?

[09:25:55 07/11/08] Maximus : mini lots...

[09:29:51 07/11/08] Stalion : okay....we tend to have up to 3 targets...sometimes,4 to

5....Max..The way we handle it is to allocate percentages or fractions to our minilots when

target is hit or after 20 pips ahead

[09:31:14 07/11/08] Stalion : if using 1 minilot,you can take 0.5 off when +20 pips ahead or

when reaching 1st target....if using 3 minilots, you can shave off half or 1/3third as price

goes along...

[09:32:57 07/11/08] fxjedi : gm all

[09:33:22 07/11/08] Maximus : ok thx for that...

[09:33:34 07/11/08] Stalion : helloo there jedi...

[09:34:41 07/11/08] fxjedi : hi stal, thanks for yesteday,+60 pips on cable was okay for me,

[09:35:56 07/11/08] Stalion : cool....it was supposed to be 120 pips or so...but we were

stopped out for 60 pips earlier in the morning

[09:41:30 07/11/08] Maximus : gbpusd is going up...

[09:53:36 07/11/08] fxjedi : buy entry trigered

[09:58:22 07/11/08] Maximus : Everybody in the trade....

[09:58:44 07/11/08] Stalion : you can still enter your buy order,dj...

[10:06:44 07/11/08] Stalion : you can close half positions now, then shift stop loss to

entry point...

[10:07:58 07/11/08] fxjedi : okay

[10:17:32 07/11/08] Maximus : thx Stalion for this nice trade..Smile

[10:18:34 07/11/08] Maximus : do we reenter if stop out..

[10:19:36 07/11/08] Stalion : lol..we are still waiting for price to hit 1st target,max...by

closing half positions at +20 pips, then shifting sl to entry, we ensure we breakeven at a

profit if price retraces against us...

[10:21:09 07/11/08] Stalion : yes, we reenter after the bearish candle shows signs of moving

back up to our original entry...very prudent in these volatile markets nowadays...

[10:21:46 07/11/08] Maximus : thx Stalion...

[10:23:08 07/11/08] Maximus : wich time frame are you looking at for the trade Salion, tf15

[10:29:03 07/11/08] Stalion : cool....

[10:29:31 07/11/08] Stalion : did you get the chance to reenter at our original price,max?

[10:30:37 07/11/08] Maximus : no, but I am glad with what i had today, I willl get

experience...

[10:30:41 07/11/08] fxjedi : i did as soon as u talked about that bearish candle,stal

[10:31:39 07/11/08] Stalion : you might still get the chance if price retraces downwards

again...

[10:31:55 07/11/08] Maximus : yes thx...

[10:32:34 07/11/08] djcarlos : ok, thanks... so the trend is bullish???

[10:35:11 07/11/08] Maximus : i think the price will come back...

[10:35:15 07/11/08] Stalion : looks like it, max....you can reenter with a buy order @

1.5797....for our 2nd target...

[10:47:02 07/11/08] Stalion : cool

[10:48:54 07/11/08] Stalion : sl@1.5745

[10:58:19 07/11/08] Stalion : no probs...the thing is its much riskier now, dan when price

was at our original entry....the sl at that point would give more breathing space for price

to move than this present one....hope you understand..

[11:02:28 07/11/08] fxjedi : cable going up now,70 pips ahead now

[11:02:54 07/11/08] Stalion : great....

[11:14:31 07/11/08] fxjedi : Fund Selling: that's reason for earlier. eurusd 1.25 as this

has become very sensitive to down with stocks crashing...for BlackFriday

[11:20:23 07/11/08] Stalion : hmmmmm....

[11:22:27 07/11/08] Stalion : Black Friday?

[11:24:42 07/11/08] fxjedi : maybe

[11:25:32 07/11/08] Stalion : Black Friday is mainly for those that dont really know what

they are doing in the markets,jedi..

[11:26:55 07/11/08] Stalion : pls dont get me wrong...nothing is 100% perfect in trading and

no one wins ALL trades ALL the time...but to attribute losses to Black Friday without

trading yet, is more of FEAR induced reaction to a particular day in the market

[13:19:25 07/11/08] djcarlos : I read that GU may had pivot in 1.5710, but here Stalion, so

ask to he..

[13:31:30 07/11/08] djcarlos : Stal sorry about the long of this article but I think that is

important for your usd/cad study

[13:31:34 07/11/08] djcarlos : The Canadian economy actually threw the market a bone today,

it's a miracle! The median market expectation was calling for a 10k loss in jobs, but the

economy instead added 9.5k in October. Keep in mind that we had a monster 106.9k print in

September, so to add more jobs on top of that huge gain was extremely impressive.

[13:46:06 07/11/08] djcarlos : Stal did you see Usd/Chf, it having good selling projetion

[14:44:50 07/11/08] djcarlos : hey! maxim do you have open GU buy Stop?

[14:45:15 07/11/08] djcarlos : it work very good...Thanks Stal cheers

[14:46:40 07/11/08] djcarlos : 60 pips in the bag.. good end for the week

[16:33:30 07/11/08] Stalion : lol....No Black Friday,dj?

[20:06:58 07/11/08] Stalion : We put a SELL STOP on GBPUSD@ 1.5660...1st target @

1.5600...sl@ 1.5715

[20:23:22 07/11/08] klho83 : hi stal thank for the text sms

[21:55:45 07/11/08] djcarlos : thanks for the text sms Stal, who said that today are Black
