hahahahahaha. I have done it too. Many times. And still do it. But now a bit smarter as I detect i am in a rookie mode and decrease bet size 5x. dont fight. accept and adjust.

[quote=fti;6396112] I hope you are given another chance.

that what i have been doing so far. Reading FTI thread, made me rethink and found a statistically significant way to minimise loss. I have stop and once clear that trade will not do too well, lower my expectations to go for b/e. This seem to rescue ...

fti, thanks for your feedback. It is really making ne think from first principles I am well aware what you are saying above, however, I found a spot in market where very few can follow me and above concerns are reasonably addressed as proven by ...

Doctors do not know everything. Hope you get better. Go easy on your body Not sure what do you see so wrong with my approach as my average loser is around 0.25 initial risk, and average winner is around 1.5 risk. And more than 30% winners. My ...

old wounds still itch ? remember buying it at 145 just before some hedge fund gone bust. Had 40 pips stop and was pissed when stopped. After couple of days looked like pretty good thing and was happy as it fell down to near 110. however, what stayed ...

don't quite get it, still slowly grinding thru pages. so maybe down the track i will get what you mean however, i tested yesterday first time rescue mission in eurusd - sell (i am a bit of knife catcher) and it worked !!! i adjusted version for ...

seeing order in randomness. Similar to seeing religuous statues move and then taking this as a sign of something. hope you not offended ... anyway, good traders are all humble so I trust you one of them... I wouldnt not comment if i thought you are ...

sorry couldnt resist : have you seen saint statue move ?!?!!?? Proof : XXX good exist !!!!

nice fellas

well, good luck with growing your account. I am into year 4 beeing profitable and want to cut the crap here and there. Growing account by the rules is f*king boring. So, i have on my plate certain scenarios where i will bet far and beyond what i can ...

is this your stop beeing hit ? You are big fish, HUH !! Or you played (too) big. If so, I am there too. You did not joke when saying 1000 contracts ?!?

you'll get better. its part of the game. i thought it is only me that gets emotional after loss hurts more after many wins.

no big deal i guess. volume in futures is a bit shallow.

you seem to have impact on market. will watch how this plays out in eu futures. huh what a whipsaw action in eu in last couple of days.

i find it strange oanda accepts these orders day after day as they cant hedge well in this type of market. 20M short to accept and hedge say on average 3 pips lower thru futures as there are few bids & physical.... At least they increase bid/ask so ...
