I think Davids going through the same pain I have.
I've been 'trying' to trade for 7 years and got to the giving up stage at least 4 times, usually just after my account was wiped out, 'again!'.
My search for the Holy Grail was equally fruitless and I have tried every indicator going.
But what I think I have discovered is that there is a holy grail.
In fact there are loads of them, but there is only one that will work for me.
Thats because mine is half system and half my psychological makeup and I believe that applies to everyone.
Its taken me a long time to find and I'm still refining it but I think I'm there.
Readin FF has helped me a lot because one of my problems was belief.
I just didn't believe that anyone could actually make a living from this game.
But you've only got to read some of the threads here to realise tht there are lots of guys out there making serious money.
And those guys have all found their own personal holy grail.
One last piece of advice - if your wife can read charts that well let her trade for you till you pick it up.
Pride has no place in trading - You need to admit when you're wrong and move on. Bit like marriage really.
Just my tuppence - hope it helps
all the best
