....I guess most of you are just keeping your heads down & grinding through the markets?
August & early September (along with the last 2 weeks of December & early January) are traditionally quiet periods jcpfx due in part to a dissipation of liquidity & below average participation. Daily volumes are beginning to climb back up again on most of the institutional broker desks & it'll soon be full steam ahead.
Plus of course all of the thread regulars will be eyeing & setting up exactly the same structural background candidates as you've just posted today.
Once someone is comfortable & competent with the pre-entry identification process there isn't really the need to keep repeating the same info over & over – it simply becomes 2nd nature & automatic.
By now everyone should have absolutely no trouble in prioritizing the high probability currencies/pairs & slotting them into personal preference order on their work stations.
It's not really unusual to witness a slowing in thread traffic when people get to that particular stage of their development.
We would be surprised & slightly concerned if the regulars were still seeking confirmatory nods or assurance of background/foreground set ups.
That's not to say it will die a natural death, but you have to appreciate most on here don't day trade very much & thus aren't going to be dialling into the thread or the market quite as often as those who do.
I'm sure participation will pick up again once we get a foothold into September.
It's good to see you're now establishing some degree of consistency with the approach & appear to be molding it to your own individual tastes & style.
That's what it's all about after all.
