Hmm the way I did the 'where's price going?' test was much more immediate than that. It simply counted the last few bars really. You may say I did it wrongly, but with the perfect results I got, I'd be happy to travel that road

Hi Adi, I hear you mate that RR paralysis kept me out of the cable PB the other day. I KNEW (we all knew) it was going to hit its FTA. I stayed behind and wished everyone else luck on their trade, knowing they wouldn't need it. url I had been ...

Hi Steve, that was really rough treatment you got. You should be honoured. After all, a man ridiculed is a man envied! Without your insistance on gaining a full and academic understanding of the theory, I would have glossed over it without ...

Hi Sammy well done on another winning trade Not only did you lock in a profit, but I believe the trade has helped you fine tune your strategy. I had a great day, thanks. Who doesn't love a feast and a party from time to time?

I wouldn't feel good about walking away from the screen until I'd gotten my SL to BE or very close. Also, if I'm within earshot of the computer I don't like to set a TP. I like to set alerts for when price gets near my trouble areas and come back to ...

I see you like your scalping. Live fast, die young, leave a great set of pictures! If you can make it work and you enjoy it, that's great for you. I'm happy to multiply your TF by 1440, and use one indicator for divergence. We must each find our own ...

I wasn't poking you, honest. I was just trying to get back onto the topic of fear and lack of control. I'm on a run of winners and I want to fully understand my motivation to control that run. Over the holiday I studied and studied the ...

Very good trade I don't have the chart to see how it got there, but from your earlier post, it looks like you made a great exit too

I didn't notice that until you pointed it out Dragan. I hope it doesn't interfere with what could be a very helpful thread. It might be interesting to try to understand the mindset of a seasoned trader who would use a bot. Okay, perhaps if a trader ...

Hi Spookie, I do hope somebody more qualified than I will reply to you soon. Your question would have been much easier to answer before you took the trade, if you know what I mean. If you stuck to your rules, you didn't make a mistake. If it was a ...

I'm really glad about it. I just didn't have the head for it today. There'll be lots of strong signals after tomorrow's first latte

Thanks mate I'm flat today, and I'm not in any trades either

Amen to that. If price is coming back at you, get out. Take 2 pips profit with you if you can. I know you put your hopes into this trade, but if it's meant to be, you'll get another signal to enter, perhaps at an even better price. To answer your ...

Hi PhanTi great thread so far, thanks for getting it started. There are so many lessons to learn in this business, and the most important ones can't be represented by a chart. They are in your mind. I've been trading and learning for less than a ...
