This is quite a profound statement, my insight is that after drinking a lot the next day your mind suppresses a lot of the thoughts normally running through your mind. Your mind dosn't want to try to figure things out, but instead sees it as it is ...

Thanks Ohka, this clarifies my thinking along these lines. I have been doing the same now for the past month, defining my maximum loss (and therefore lot size), but often closing a trade that starts to build at where I didn't expect. These trades ...

Thanks Dito, this definitely adds some much needed detail. I was following along with DRT since the beginning and agree there is much more to it then a simple bell curve, such as being mindful of gaps in existing distributions. Your thoughts on the ...

River Theory Trades

Hey Dito, people One of the biggest things that helped my understanding of how Price Distribution works was the below diagram since I am very much a visual learner. The zones for me are ultimately derived from extremes in the bell curve, which is ...

Meta Trader brokers in US?

With only $3000, a micro account is much better suited to that amount of capital, otherwise you will suffer from asymmetrical leverage. It's difficult to sum up what exactly it is, but once you get the concept it's simple. I'd suggest just searching ...

best broker for beginners?

Both TP and Stops work for me on IBFX with MT4 without having the client open, but trailing stops do not. Otherwise a computer crash or internet disconnect could be devastating. If they ever stop supporting server side stops on the client I would ...

Help - programmed exit on MT4

Excellent post OND on the intuitive part of reading price action in real time. It's great that you've actually walked us through your thinking process of what you are seeing on the charts, not just the reversal candle itself but the events ...

The System (Irony included)

Their success in the managed fund may come from just that... for those that have lost money with them see an opportunity to invest rather then get out completely. Although I doubt that this would be any different from any other broker that offered ...

FXCM Managed Accounts - Over 1,000 New Accounts ??

I haven't found one... but.. If you can leave MT4 running, you can use the line alert indicator that will e-mail you, and I just use the e-mail to SMS feature that allmost all carriers have but often don't publish on their websites. You set any ...

Yep same. I took $30 that I had sitting in a dead account and turned it into $700 in 3 weeks before I blew out. I blew out on a single trade, a huge move on the GBPJPY.

How I Turned 1k To 100k In A Wk!!!

It's simply luck. You will always have lucky accounts and unlucky accounts, especially when you are measuring in weeks, and not in months (Bare minimum of 3 to get any kind of realistic expectancy, even then you can still just be lucky) Long term ...

Unfortunately this is often the case on most forums. In some cases however you could technically say almost all the questions that are asked here have been answered before. In some cases I've come across questions asked 10+ times, however each time ...

Back from my break... it was well worth it to ponder things and do some more reading on money management with being away from the charts and trading. I can't stress enough the value of a break to bring clarity of mind, this break gave me a great ...
