{quote} I have found Asia session is mostly consolidation so you have to trade small and usually trade the bounce. I was already trading against the 4 hour trend so was a risky trade. I lost money on that one but "I'll get the next one" Famous last words, lol. Soon as Artcool starts sending me that small fee he keeps talking about, I'll be on Easy St.
Asian session is good to trade breakout, normally having a tight range (as you say consolidation)

Have a nice weekend everyone. The winds of March are howling and my power keeps going out.

For account safety if power goes out and stays out, I have closed all my positions except short USDJPY, I am swing trading this one and holding through repatriation month or until TP/SL gets hit

{quote} Davit taught me how to run a thread if I ever get serious about it. You are being too nice newbegger. Ban detractors on the first offense. Do not simply dislike their post. It is one of the 48 Laws of Power. Destroy them. Give them no quarter. If you do, they will simply keep trolling you. Execute them. https://48laws-of-power.blogspot.com...y-totally.html
I don't now who this Davit is, but I have 95% confidence that he is not makng a living with retail forex as his only source of income.... and the other 5% is just temporary.
But I digress.
I am familiar with the "48 laws of power"
Do you know they are used in psychology / psychiatry to diagnose the psychopath personality ?

They are also taught to CEO's and business leaders.

Exactly. A good number of CEOs and business leaders have some serious "control issues"

I think this is a bit of projection Ming. It's those very same control issues that prevented you from taking losses when appropriate, taking correct position sizes when appropriate, and letting price tell you what to do instead of the other way around. Are you suggesting that you may be a psychopath? Because clearly, you story indicates that you had some major league control issues.

I wonder how a spychopath would respond to such a glib and presumptuous comment....
But wait, I should know ... I am insane
But wait, if I think I am insane, surely I must not be.
Because, only an insane person would believe he is sane.
But wait, maybe I think I am sane because actually I am insane
Thanks jiminy, I have a headache now.

Back to the subject,
Can you tell me where they are taught ?
Trump University ?
At a Bible College, between the snake handling and creationism class ?
At Multi Level marketing seminars ?
On a Wealth Building course (this weekend's special only $3,995.99) ?

This "How to get to the top" circa 1956 type of affirmations/aphorisms is good to know when it's read between the lines
1) if you win the rat race, you are still a rat
2) Be nice to the people you meet on your way to the top, you will see them again on your way down

What is odd about your post is that you admit to your insanity. You lost nearly a quarter million, who does that?

Tell me and other inquiring minds, how do you lose 200K, and no internal system kicks in? It did not kick in at 10K, or 20K, or even 100K. How does someone bleeding through the nose not at least apply packing to stop the bleeding?

You did not do any of these things. That is why I call it projection on your part. You had to wait until you "fucked up your life"???

What??

Why??

Why did you not follow the very basics of trading education, which is to cut your losers?
I will tell you why, your ego did not allow it. You thought you were smarter than price. Now, you come here to tell others they cannot win. We have active threads that repudiate your claim. You will call it luck to salvage your tattered self esteem.

Ultimately Ming, by your own definition, you are the one who is insane.

I don't believe Mingary trades. When he did trade he lost. I think from what he has said this was a long time ago. He has not to my knowledge added anything to discussions on trading.

In view of all this I don't believe there can be any benefit in reading his posts. I've put him on Ignore.

You are derailing the conversation because you know you have no ground to stand on.
This is what kids do on the playground when they argue / fight
Kid 1 "Give me back my bag, it's mine"
Kid 2 "oh yeah, but your dad is a drunk"
You (kid 2) started this 48 laws of power nonsense. Not me. How does your reply have anything to do with it ?
You cannot argue this debate so you resort to the argument of an 8 year old.

You are now on a slippery slope; just like this guy "Jiminy (jmn) / Rickety cricket ...

obviously, for some losing 50$ is a big deal, others losing few millions is not.
guess it just depend on one's financial standing.

Personally, I don't believe he lost the 200K.
It (this apparent loss and fcuking up his life) was one of Mings' early posts when he joined FF.
It set the scene, a dramatic entry, a platform for what was to come from his keyboard.

While I agree with much of what he says about the forex promotional con game, and the losses across retail traders, there was no reason for him to assume to be in a position to dictate to traders what their potential is, or how their accounts will fair in the future.

If each individuals potential was dictated by the collective achievements of the past, we'd still be throwing rocks at each other for mating rights with the ugliest woman in the cave...
