hello, your strategy, even if it's based on moving averages and the requirement of a trending market, it remains the simplest and best way to trade for anybody on this lump of rock in space, good luck with your endeavors!

I'm just waiting to see how stuff will evolve in the next week or two taking into account the arab world protests

My trading got better as I've managed to conquer my mind, as soon as I identified bad habits and stopped repeating them, trading got a bit better.

most people don't even bother with accepting the fact that trading is about winning and losing but being profitable on the average the second thing they don't accept is that rules are made to be followed, if you start trading like you know better ...

emigration to US .... some bucks enrolling to college .... a bit more quitting college and ruining your life because you took stupid risks .... PRICELESS!!!!

bollocks, countries that joined the EU and use the euro as national currency don't get expelled because of crashes of this kind secondly, most people bet on parity but this means betting on EU to collapse and return to pre 2000 quotes where dollar ...

great stuff, keep on the good work

I'm glad you figured out that crossovers alone aren't perfect, I'm trading using a similar method, and some trading decisions would've been better if I considered support and resistance levels. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, it worked, this week ended well, 4 days in a row profit just by following the trading plan. I still can't believe how simple it was and that this was the missing link (the big secret that eluded me for the past month). I guess that the real ...

My point was if you were getting too greedy, you could lose focus and in turn score in a loss and a very bad mood. I wasn't advocating against letting profits run though.

I recall reading an article and the only interesting bit of that article was The market pays you to be disciplined As in following the rules of your trading system which should incorporate three good components, money management, trading psychology ...

@ pipmutt : a bit like jogging actually @ nubcake : I work on shorter time frames, and ranges are indeed a pain, I see enough of them at 11:00 GMT+0 "-ish", but the bad trades were my fault, the market isn't to blame for the fact that I screwed up ...

back with news i'm not yet "supertrader", that will have to wait i noticed two things - the first trade of the day is crucial, depending on it's outcome, I either have a wonderful day or bad day. this reveals a nasty flaw regarding the management of ...

@hedginghog : I see your point, rest assured my daily target is based on the second case. You're also suggesting that I should concentrate more on the method rather than the cash itself, when I'm trading I'm thinking about the pips not the dollars, ...

The best edge is timing, regardless of any strategy you might think of. A very good entry on the market is extremely rewarding as far as I've noticed. Beware of slippage and volatility, that might kill a good setup or idea. Hope it helps.

This week proves your point, despite I am establishing targets I somehow managed to screw it up, but I'll explain that in a bit. Daily targets are a good thing, the idea behind that is to limit my greed and provide a way to monitor my performance, ...

thanks for all these replies pipmutt is right, I get bored sometimes, yet moving away from the screen for a break might mean missing some good opportunities, so it's debatable ha-pattern pointed out something crucial, if you don't trust your own ...
