Hi all
I'm new to this thread. I've been trying and failing miserably to scalp forex for a couple of years (despite having help along the way - the fault by the way is entirely mine - I just don't get it, it seems). I've read loads of books, spent many probably hundreds of hours looking at charts, and still managed to make consistent losses (some demo, some real).
Anyway, I decided to stop altogether for a bit, to regroup as it were, quit trying to scalp (trying to drive a racing car when I haven't even passed my test) and try a fresh approach a little more long term (daily charts maybe). Over on another forum someone recommended this thread and I started reading, studying James' charts etc. I got kind of excited at the way it was coming together, but by page thirty I was running out of steam and getting increasingly overloaded/confused. I wondered how many pages I had to go, so I skipped to the end... Oh my..! 1500 plus pages and counting! I think I will be dead before I have time to read all of that and now I feel pretty depressed!
I don't want to be spoon fed, and I'm not afraid of hard work, but I do feel that I have been lost in the wilderness, and i need someone to put me on the right road, nothing more.
I hope that doesn't sound too pathetic but I'd appreciate some guidance here.
Thanks

When in doubt, sit on your hands...
