I have used it since then to great advantage.

I was dicking around with a demo account and randomly opened and closed trades, because I knew virtually nothing about trading. At some point I had 1 buy lot EURUSD open, and the price took off. The pair travelled over 300 pips in what felt like a matter of minutes [could have been hours], and my account grew $3.000,-

At that moment I realised there was a LOT of money available, if one only found a way to get their hands on it [and keep it]. Since then I blew my share of accounts [and $$$] but kept liking the game. Tried all sorts of EA's, both commercial and specially written for me that made profit but in the end gave it all back, including my deposits.

Finally, after reading Bob's 10.2 something in my head connected and blew a spark. Since then the only losses I had were me trying to thinker with the system. After I realised there is nothing to thinker with, profits are constant 2-3% a day, and last week I had a blast with the JPY.

THANK YOU BOB!!

I learned that a stoploss should be put to prevent catastropic occourance only, then my trading finally turned around. My first attempt was with a company called Premiere trade....What a crock? It was a system based on the 89 SMA envelope. Long trades Above the envelope and shorts below the envelope. The envelope itself was no mans land. Dont know what happened but I heard the owner, James Dicks, was being sued for not honoring his gaurantee. Anyway, Im better now and a lot happier.

Thanks for you help

• forget what you think you already know:
• read post 1 here.
• read the pdf in post 1.
• skim through the thread studying Bob's charts.

• read the first 100 pages of the thread slowly.
• pay attention to every one of CJ's charts.
• it will quickly become obvious whom the other really clever and knowledgeable contributors are; study their charts as well.
• skip to the last 20 pages pr sp tp see what has been happening more recently.

sanook wrote:hello Bob and readers,
I see you all praising bob's way of trading but as i am new to this forum i must say i am a bit confused here. I read booklets for 10.3 and 10.4 but even if i get the taste of it is not really clear. Which TF to trade what?
The indi on first pages of thread are quite different than what i see on the charts you are posting....
Which version are you trading ?
Can you trade 4H (10.4?) long term and 1H (10.3?) short term on the same chart ?
If yes where are the latest indi ?
etc etc
I am totally lost between 10.2 10.3 10.4 the old 5.xx and now it looks like there is a 10.5 also.
Tons of different indis, time frame, how do you guys are you trading this ?

I might look like dumb for you guys following bob advices for a long time but believe me all this is a bit confusing for a newcomer.
These threads looks very interesting but i would like to know where to start and not reading tree 400 pages old threads for nothing.

Could someone summarize a bit please.

Thanks for you help

Take your time; this cannot be rushed.

The go to Captain Jack's thread (linked in post 1) and:

• read the first 100 pages of the thread slowly.
• pay attention to every one of CJ's charts.
• it will quickly become obvious whom the other really clever and knowledgeable contributors are; study their charts as well.

I reckon this little lot will take you a week. At the end, your thought processes and your trading will be transformed.

Good luck.
