He didn't realise that maybe he just got lucky and that it can turn around soon...Classic example of getting over confident based on too little data or based on short-term success. I've been there, and admit it, all of you reading this have too.

EURUSD 4 signals=> Buy 4 minilots at 34865 (23:19)

This week was a sad week. No signals, except during times when I avoid trading because of fear of spikes. There were no spikes except thursday 12:05 that I suspect of being stop hunting spike (pic1). No spikes on friday (pic2). Still trying to ...

Well, that was humbling, picture says it all. This time my system put me exactly where sharks wanted me to be. Soon after entry my stops were spiked out. I Believe I can avoid majority of news spikes by not trading these systems thursdays and ...

EURUSD Sell @ 3720 3minilots Target @ 37025 Stop @ 3750 Stop is updated regularly

I found this interesting: There's a bottom @ A. There were propably stops below line E. Sharks go for these stops @ C. My stop was just out of reach (D). It was placed by my system, and my system doesn't know what is stophunting. Don't know if it ...

The signal above is a result of purely mechanical systems, but I get some confirmation from fibo also:

I was just looking at some other threads in journal section, and noticed some of them are giving live calls so, I thought maybe thats's what I need to do to make my thread more interesting. So,here we go: SYS2: EURUSD SELLEntry @ 1.37088 Stop ...

image Well as you can see target was hit, but so would have the previous target. Didn't realise there would be stops at C also. Didn't stick to plan and it cost me 9 pips.

Trade 3/11/10 — Since the name of the thread is "check out my trades" I thought I might post an example: image One of my systems gave an entry signal at 1.36305, Target was at 1.3673. Later I noticed a peak at A, assumed there would be stops ...

Wow, this thread had slipped all the way to the third page. It's not ready to be put to dusty shelves of lost archives of FF journals yet. Plus olympics are over so, i should be able to find time to post my progress here. Also, I see there are ...

I have hard time believing that someone who has studied forex for 1 or 2 years can actually be successfull in trading for longer period of time (for many many years). Why? Because I have studied forex for 5 years (about 4 hours every day) and I feel ...

Didn't follow market on Wednesday. Busy doing other things than trading. Missed some good signals. Missed 1 good signal this morning: System1: Sell signal @ 7:05 Close @ 10:50 45 pips Reason for missing: I was sleeping. Is that a good enough ...
