Hmmm, News trade acting odd although not unusual these days in the choppy market we have had this week. My S&P futures trade was looking good but that profit has chopped in half. S&P has been an ATM this week probably need to take the gain and run.

OK, Got a gift from the Japanese CB today. I didn't take full advantage of it because I was a little surprised by the lack of follow through on the big drop. I did get out of my troublesome position though, and have done my best to put it behind me. ...

I rarely get slipped. I am generally buying down moves and selling up moves. I always seem to be able to get in with minimal to no slip with twenty or thirty lots. I am not a big trader. I know there are people out there trading hundreds of lots. I ...

It is funny. Everyone always said I had little discipline because I like trading counter trend and jumping in front of moving trains. I finally try a trend following type entry with the Asian (Nikkei) open range trade and I get chopped to pieces ...

I have three accounts that are larger. Two for futures and one left with spot forex. I just seem to lack any discipline with this small account. It is a personal failing that I am working on. Trust me when I say that the larger accounts never get ...

I am sure it will be fine. Funny thing is while I ignored this trade I made six points off the ES. I have migrated mostly back to futures trading after the brokers decided to steal people's money after the SNB action last month. Futures traders are ...

Thanks. I don't think it will help anyone right now. I don't seem to have any discipline when it comes to this little account. As soon as I promised to keep it to careful trading I immediately began taking trades based on some new ideas. If any of ...

I took an NFP trade but killed it. Don't like the lack of follow through. Also I have an appointment later and need to get ready. Plenty of trades to take next week. Later.

New account and explorer up and ready. FXbook link: url All trades, lots, account size, and open and closed positions will be visible. I will trade this as if it is a big account. I didn't like the result of the max leveraged uber aggressive quick ...

fxbook will not synch. I just killed my open positions and am going to reopen explorer ASAP with new account that will sync with all history. I tried everything but still kept getting error message. I will have it back up soon.

I was trying to link my account to fxbook today and can't. I keep getting a message that they can't account for all my deposits. There have only been two deposits to the account since it was opened. I assume they can't get the first one since the ...

PS. Please don't ask me to go into method. I have huge demands on my time and can't maintain a thread any more. I just thought with all the negativity and accusations on the forum of posters with no "proof" of their profits, I would put up the ...

One quick caution with the explorer. It is still an experimental account. Don't put much stock into the older trades because there are some oddballs in there when I would try some new ideas. I am currently playing around with money management so I ...

I haven't really been using my test account for new methods lately so I started to trade it when I have time. I have decided I want a new trading computer and think I will earn the money with this account. I opened the explorer and thought someone ...

I have been working on holding trades longer. Nice improvement from last year. It still isn't easy. ;-)

I want to address this in a little more detail than my last reply to your question/statement. I absolutely use discretion in my trading. I mention some of the decision making processes in the thread but it would be impossible to explain everything ...

London closes at 5pm London time. Normally this is noon Eastern, but time zones do change during the year so the times do change for short periods. I won't really go into time zones any more as it can result in two pages of confusion. Just google ...
