you have more noise to deal with and have to pay more attention to all those annoying reports. daily charts are far easier and more profitable.

this is it, this is the test! from your back-testing how long did you find your were stuck in break-even or losing periods? we know you've had three good months so far but sooner or later you will turn into a rough patch. keep the faith bro, and ...

i agree northpro! steve's journal has attracted many followers owing to his early success but it's when things get tough, and some of those harvested pips are given back then that's when the trader, system and the followers will be tested. i think ...

it's these tough weeks or months that will test the trader more than his system! can you hold your own after running up a string of losses? being in the market, waiting for big moves means you're gonna have to ride out these tough patches and hold ...

trend trading — somebody i think mentioned richard dennis (aka "turtles") earlier. he was the king of trend trading in the 70's and 80's. similar in style to what you are doing. anyway as you probably know, a trend trader will: 1. have many ...

very good stuff so far, certainly well ahead of jim's 100 pips monthly target! looks like the ucad is the runt of the litter - if you get fed up with it you could also look at the aussie as a replacement. if you can keep this performance ...

good man! you know it makes sense! where will chavski be when the special one exits?

if you ever need to replace usdcad then you could either go for a cad cross such as eurcad or cadjpy (might run into a spread problem) or better still go for a euro cross like eurchf - sits well in just about any portfolio. another idea is ...

with your performance so far, ignore what i say!!! : if you can close out this month above 2000 then you should be 500 pips ahead of target! looks like GU has been choppy past two months since the nice nov rally - if you came out ahead on this ...

stevie, well your cumulative pips total since nov is over 2k so again what i'm about to say might be moot: have you looked at how correlation is affecting your overall performance? i think you trade 5 (primarily) usd pairs, however you do say you ...

Hi Turbo, What is your main method or system for trading? I know you posted some threads a while back, one on demark... Also some charts might go alongside the trades quite nicely... Hope you don't take these requests the wrong way, it's ...

i've found what you say here interesting - i did something similar on the trade you mentioned - however for this trade i did it on the 4h. looking back sticking to the daily would of been easier and more profitable (see chart). i've learned my ...

This iooks like it's gonna be an excellent journal, keep up the good work my friend! Your trading style sounds somewhat similar to mine...hopefully that's a good thing!
