My chart shows a different story. 121.60 was broken clear, you had all the time in the world to adjust your Sl. Maybe you wrote the wrong numbers? Did you mean 121.65? Even then it was such a small rebound that i cant believe it cost you 5k, you ...

For some people is as easy as breathing, for others it's impossible. "Whether you believe you can or believe you can’t, you are absolutely right." - henry ford,allegedly

As i understand the market right now i think it's purely preference. When you see news you get an idea (not necessarily indicative of reality) and you act based on this idea. But,it's possible to find the same idea(again,not necessarily correct)in ...

It's a well known fact that phanti was not the one to invent these concept from scratch. The merit of his book lies in his simple and understandable explanation, coupled with his personal take on how to use these concept in the market. Very good ...

All kinds of people around. I personally believe this is a good book. Edit: Scratch that, a great book! Very well known facts explained and presented extremely well. Really useful as a reference. (Even though i disagree about the indicators)

How about losses? How many of them?

"That first candle is too tiny to be considered. I'll follow the second candle." Very bad idea.

This, instead, is what i dont like. Being stopped by a spike 0.2 pips above my SL. Oh well.., it happens.

That's what i like, free trades.

I saw that style of posting being used other times, usually by people who are not sure about their methods. I also noticed that more successful traders (at least here on ff) tend to write in a different way: less truths/rules and more suggestions. ...

I've been around this forum for years and i've seen posts like this a lot of times. New people with few posts who speak like they know what they're talking about. They always give me the impression they're really trying to convince themselves. I ...

really good post. and even though i don't think that psychology is overrated i agree with you in the way you put it.

1. We accumulate information - buying books, going to seminars and researching.<----done 2. We begin to trade with our 'new' knowledge.<-----done 3. We consistently 'donate' and then realise we may need more knowledge or information.<----done but i ...

absolutely true and i'll work toward being able to do as you write. in fact,as of now, i really cant' say to have a "method" :i'm just keeping what i find useful trying every system and method that i find around on the internet and drop what is ...

in fact my problem is of a more subtle nature. is more about myself than trading itself.i'm worried about my well being while trading because as it is now is become more and more hard and umbearable. but here people seem to jump to ...

i read everything there is on ff(in sticky and even not in sticky) and other books too about psychology and,as i said,i've never seen anyone talk about this problem:everybody tell you how to fix the exact contrary. btw it didnt came through because ...

while i agree with everything else you have said this is the point. i cant find a compromise between overconfidence and excessive weakness/safety. i'm not scared of losing;i'm scared of being wrong(...and not winning enough maybe...) how do i fix ...

i miss u

yes i will watch and what you say is surely understandable and true.nonetheless europe and china,and japan even,aren't doing anything great either.this being said i admire and envy any of you that has the guts to forecast on such a long term,and i ...
