Sorry llambert. — Sorry llambert. I wasn't sure and was looking to research it before I answered. To be honest, I couldn't explain 90% of the shit. If I learn too much, I'm afraid I'll stop trading it mechanically. It's like when I first ...

Alright. I closed my CHF/JPY (Priscan trade) at +59. Looking back at the Priscan documents, I probably should have closed it last night. Regardless, I ended up with a decent profit ($503). I was going to let it run, as I felt that the three MA's ...

Damn right. That feels good. What's even better is I don't see any more trades today, so I know I'm holding on to those pips till at least tomorrow. +124 for the week. mest... I'm gonna reread your priscan system and make sure I am using it ...

I've paid close attention to this thread and love the idea of mechanical trading. I trust both Micardo and Markj's systems. I am currently using Markj's system, because the higher opportunities for trades better suits my personality. I moved on to ...

Hey Micardo - yeah, Friday ended nicely. I think I was negative for the week, but I didn't do the totals because I had to learn how to stop screwing myself over with my almighty thoughts. Anyway, this week I'm keeping tabs, 'cause I ain't effin' up! ...

I'm trading mechanically right now. I have to click the mouse, but I'm not letting my thoughts get in the way. Hopefully, I have chosen good systems, and my account will start growing. I'm only a few months in, so my hopes are that after much more ...

Thanks Micardo.

What the hell was that! The pound just shot up to trigger my entries (1.9086) and then decided to come back down and hit all my stop losses. Oh well... I just reset my entries for 1.9046 to short, maybe it will retrace down and help me end the day ...

Priscan System — On another note, I've decided to enter my first priscan-style trade, as I saw an entry on the CHF/JPY. If you search it in the forums, you can read about it. It is a moving average system, but is very conservative. The number ...

GBP was dead until the BOE statement. I loaded up my +14 position, as my broker sucks at news time, and I planned on setting my other positions to breakeven after my first profit target was hit. So that is exactly what I did. Without all the ...

OK - so I've closed my trade station down for the day. I ended up at +18 ($180.00 - I'm a big spender). That's cool. If I didn't blow it yesterday, I wouldn't be doing to bad for the week. Ya live, ya learn. I'm looking forward to tonight. This has ...

My rattlesnake is a bastard. I have owned nine snakes. Besides the rare, accidental bite (feeding response - usually), they are well tempered. The rattlesnake, however, will not calm down. I wouldn't be foolish enough to hold it without hooks, but ...

That's what I'm doing. At first it was exciting. Then I realized that I felt like I was in Atlantic City. Now, although I still feel it, I deal with the losses, and the wins don't excite me much because I know another loss could be around the ...

Yeah - I first traded live on 8/24/06. I haven't blown my account - I've actually profited, although I've given a lot back through foolishness. I will say that I have overleveraged it in the past, but came out unscathed. But, with research and all ...

Alright, my break even stop loss was hit a little while ago... waaah. Oh well. At this point I just placed entry orders at 1.9081 (20 pips from London open). If the price gets back to 1.9061, I will wait till the second hourly candle afterwards to ...

Thanks Micardo! Yeah, I am in profit right now. I moved my stop loss to break even, and avoided the HUGE urge to close it out with an additional $300+ profit. I'll cry if it gets stopped out, but this is part of my discipline training. I'm gonna ...

Ok - last night I set up my trades to make 14 pips on one position, and have the other two closed out -40 for a total of -26. I cannot reenter going long until after 9:00 am, if the opportunity is there. Following the rules perfectly is a lot easier ...

Damnit - I'm short GBP/USD... I knew I should have voted Republican!

I've got a $10,000 account on this one. I'm still an amateur though. Feel free to tell me I'm an idiot. I need to break this mental block.
