Mike, I have seen other people here mention Tony Robbins (RyanMCD being one of them). You guys have your stuff together, so I think it is high time I get to the library tonight to check out "Unlimited Power" at the library. This to go along with ...

I really think soccer/football is growing in the USA. When the world cup was in the USA in 1994, I don't remember much about it at all. I know the games were on TV, but I didn't personally know anyone who watched the games. All the summer news of ...

We have all the money to travel with right now Soccer is growing here. It will never pass basketball, baseball or American football, but it is becoming more popular. I LOVE American football, but it zaps all of our top male athletes for the ...

Democracy leads to Tyranny. It is sad, but I don't know if any democracy can last. Only a certain % of people are smart enough/experienced enough and also has the guts to make the tough decisions for how a country must be run. What is amazing, is we ...

EURUSD Daily BEOB — I took a short on the EURUSD Dailiy BEOB below the red arrow on my chart. I missed a 8 Hour Pin bar earlier in the day off the 1.2450 area, and this would have been a better entry. I gotta get to bed earlier so I can think ...

I grew up and lived my whole life in the midwest USA. It is nice here, I certainly cannot complain. Cost of living is cheap. Great job. Free time, familiy is close, etc. But I don't fit in here. The midwest is very relaxed/lazy. It isn't a bad ...

Oh, that makes perfect sense, duh on my part. Sorry for the confusion Chris.

This is very true. Often it is just state of mind. And that is what I have worked on, and actually greatly improved. That is why I know my life is blah, but it could be a lot worse, and at least I have the freedom to improve it. So I certainly am ...

Chris, I was just looking at a chart of Corn on FxPro. I was wondering your reasons looking to short Corn. (I have attached a chart). It appears on the Weekly (not attached) that Corn is in a very tight consolidation range. And currently it is at ...

GREAT question. Honestly, my dream was to always move to either Brazil or Germany (depending upon money and language skills). Well, I am horrible at languages, so I am probably stuck in either an English speaking country, or a country where you can ...

Today is my 10th anniversary of moving to Kansas City (post college). I don't like Kansas City, but I am hear until I make enough money to leave. But a neat accomplishment to last in this city for 10 years. And of course the 5th anniversary of ...

That makes perfect sense. Rather than just a single trend line (which can be used, but is pretty advanced), you can keep it simple and look for the large patterns (which do involve trend lines to visualize). Thank you Mike!

Mike, trendline breakouts — Mike (anyone else please feel free to chip in), I am trying to get better with the trendline breakout trades. Trendlines are tough, because they are more subjective than a PPZ and a small miss could get the line WAY ...

People on this thread trade everything (stocks, futures, etc.) including the GBPJPY. The thing with the GBPJPY, among the posters here is... - It can range widely, and your stops often have to be large. - It often moves in sink with other JPY pairs. ...

Wow, been over three weeks since I took a trade. I haven't seen much I liked, or I over looked a set-up (happened a few times in those three weeks). I am rather P.O.'ed at myself for missing some strong moves (EURUSD and the other strong moves), but ...

I have sat and watched the EURUSD fall 3,000 pips and didn't make a single pip off of it. After 3 years, seeing something like, tells me I have A LOT of work to do. A lot of it is probably pyschological.

Dan, I read your post saying this on James16 thread. I went to the library just last night and checked out the only version they have.. "The New Market Wizards, Conversations with America's top Traders". Just got started, I am very impressed. ...

Awesome. Thank you Dan, good work, your improvements have been out standing. Like when I watched Ghous and Benji greatly improve.

Monday is Memorial Day in the USA. This is the "unofficial" start to summer. So today, next Monday, and maybe even next Tuesday, will all be slow. People see this as the start of summer and take time off to do what ever it is they like to do. I ...
