This may be an intresting week. Gold made a bullish ABCD on H1, against daily bearish one, which were shown by Duane and Rat. Probably it needs one more leg up deeper into the PTA before a reversal.

Is there something wrong with my screen? Tap, tap. I think it's frozen. Tap, tap. I can't get the quotes to move. ES 2.75 point range for three hours now. Used to be four and change for an afternoon range. Wonder-frickin'-ful.

I am not sure why, but the traffic in here has really dropped off. Maybe the new format? I'm not sure, but you can now count the number of people in here so far today on one hand, possibly less than one hand. That is so discouraging I can't get motivated to post. Busting my a#% off for four people? Makes no sense... Seems like the greatest forum that has ever existed (in my opinion, and the opinion of quite a few others) is dying on the vine... Oh, well, nothing lives forever.

Jim. This new format is horrible. Hard to read. Old one was clear and very comfortable. I always need few secs to find a beginning of the posts :) But hey .. maybe I am to dumb for that

No, tomo, I agree. I can't read it at all. I can't find where posts start or end. Nothing lines up. I sent Guy a message with screen caps showing what I am seeing, and my additional thoughts on this. But, no one is complaining in the topics on this, it seems everyone is fine, and I can't understand that. Guy hasn't responded back. So, who knows. He did say they were working on making it Firefox compatible, and it might take awhile. It seems making it mobile compatible is the top priority. I don't know.
Lately I'm feeling like I just don't know anything anymore... I mean, people read forums from mobile devices and are able to do quicky ES daytrades from their mobile? I can't imagine any professional doing that, no way, no how. But, maybe they aren't catering to professionals or people working on being professionals. They are likely catering to beginners. But, and we all know how unique and brutally honest my approach has been, never, ever doing anything because it would bring me more customers or more money, only focusing on what I thought was reality, if I were talking to an audience of which some were on tablets or mobile devices, the first thing I'd say is 'Don't try to do any ES trading off a mobile device!!!'
But, if you are courting mobile device business, since nowadays, perhaps, that's the trend and 'where it's at', I can see why one wouldn't want to say that. So, I guess if that's the way it's going, there is nothing we can do about it. PC's will be outmoded not too long from now. It's all about 'the cloud', mobile, tablets, and so on. Right, I'll put all my secret, proprietary material, my personal data, tax records, medical, etc. on someone else's server. It's fine, since it's encrypted. Except the NSA has likely cracked that encryption, or gotten the company to give them the key.
And how can I drive 6 or 8 monitors off my mobile or tablet? I'm fine with my charting and trading platform 'in the cloud'. Yeah, that's cool. And since the NSA thing is likely about money, not terrorists, giving them access to our accounts, yeah, that's smart. Not that we are doing anything illegal, but letting them see any money is like painting yourself in honey and walking in bear infested woods. Not smart. So, I guess it's okay that this whole thing is going to implode soon, since it's turning into a mess anyway. Now, the question to my, what, four readers today, is should we just let this place die a natural death? Is it time? Or should we hang tough and hope Guy makes it usable again?

One of the best lines I have ever read. Sums up my views exactly.
"When the hopes and dreams of the entire global financial system rest on the lies of politicians, the whims of central bankers, and the mountains of debt they have all accumulated, things could turn on a dime… tomorrow."

2.75 points for over 4.5 hours. Welcome to the future. Then things implode, and we go back to 100 point swings in one day, and Dow 1,000 point up days. Then back to 2 point ranges. Stoo-pid.

This sure looks ready to drop hard into the close, but probably a stop sweep, then back into the range. Who knows, who cares.

I used Feedback & Support option (it's on the left side of a screen) to ask about adding frames surrounding each post, removing indentation in the first two lines of a post and enhancing lining up. I received positive feedback from admins, but the only change they introduced are frames around subforums' names and topics.
Anyway, I think this is the best place to suggest any changes.
You won't be surprised to learn that I'm all for the forum. I consider it the best place to learn trading and exchange charts. So I think we all should make an effort and formulate our change requests in F&S area.

Two tick stop sweep, now at the range high. Stooooooooo-pid. But typical. I'm not sure if they'll get the sweep up in the last few minutes, or not. Who cares anyway. What a total waste of a day.
