      Thanks Mark, Yup, an unusual day thats for sure with the news out of China followed by the FTSE 100 drop, S&P drop & Greenspan's comments yesterday. Will be off to sleep soon, stop losses in place & musn't get carried away with today. My system ...

      Thanks Jackie, Yes, one or two days like these sure makes you forget about the bad ones It may reverse some way but I would hope not as much as the 550 we are up now. It has retraced some on uj, uchf & eu already - I guess there is some profit ...

      Unbelievable day - If I traded my system on a few other pairs we'd be thousands of pips up now lol. I'll stick with it now we're into the 117's so stop loss will go at 120.86 at guaranteed minus 16 pips lol. This is the advantage of being in the ...

      Trade update — Well, I have been on a course for work today which I really didn't enjoy. GU was stopped out first thing this morning for plus 32 pips, shortly followed by UCAD for minus 22 pips. However, upon opening my charts I find UJ up ...

      Hi NP, Not sure if it was SeekingLight or Isotonic but whoever it was couldn't have said it better. Learning and becoming ever more confident in oneself (not overconfident) and one's system. Thanks for your kind words as always and all the best ...

      Absolutely, you hit the nail on the head Once you have a system that you've backtested and are confident in, the only missing link is the trader actually trading the system as closely as they can and being absolutely rigid in sticking to ...

      Yup, If I can average that I'd be a very happy chappy You do see a lot of posts expecting those kind or returns daily or weekly but I really can't see how it can be done consistently without massive risk. I'm sure someone may come back at me with ...

      Hi Jackie, I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that you are right - if I can prove to myself that I can average 5-10% a month over a year then that would be a rousing success as far as I'm concerned. As I said in a post earlier, the choppy market ...

      Yup, I guess as I get better at this (I should get better shouldn't I? ), I will need to try and address the times when the market is choppy. What I have to be really careful of though is violating my system rules which have proved profitable so ...
