... and why all the invisibles on this thread below? Weirdos.

Swell thread. It all comes back to me why I don't poke in here often any more.

Sorry about that. What I surmise, is that the only way to get our personal mindset in good shape to promote success (psychology, if you prefer) is to go through the act of placing many, many trades. There are no short cuts. Many will read a book, or ...

Glad you are feeling better. If you can stand one more question/comment. Everything I've done so far tells me that success in trading runs counter to what every fiber in my being screams at me to be doing. It seems that my natural tendency is to ...

Before you all go bonkers and pollute your chart with lines every 100 pips, (100 pips is ONE CENT on the EU) there are two things to keep in mind - first, if you draw enough lines on your chart, price will react at some of them. Second - not every ...

Just between you and me - it is very likely a better solution to what most are doing ... <grin>

I'll tell you what would be coolly ironic ... A picture of a Roast Duck on the cover. (Or is it ironically cool? (Is there one word for all that? I bet Chuck Norris would know what it is. Or make one up if he needed to) Anyway - if Darkstar writes ...

Whew- I LIKE roast Duck...

Try a 2R target. Simple, easy and mechanical. You already know what price will do when you get in - what ever it wants to. You know this already. I have a simplistic breakout system that works great on the 4 hour and I found 2R to be the best target ...

Just a comment or two I think you are driving yourself nuts with that spreadsheet. It is OK to log your trades, but the idea of marking the Max extent of the run - why are you doing that? Looks like you are dreaming of sugar plum fairies to me. Why ...

Let's chalk this up as a WIN for the Gringo's!

Here he is!!! — Ooooh oooohhh oooooooh!!!! .

Yak if you continue on like you are - or take the bone head pip or percentage goal per day, you arescrewed. Look at your own litany - your process failed. You cannot attain to success without that. And there is much much more. Most people on this ...

Ah, what the hell. I'll toss in a simple post. The initial question is a good one and you show yourself to at least be thinking about things. Good. Every new trader asks he same question. In fact, I will surmise that you have put together a ...

Time for a *really* stupid question - is what you are doing for short timeframes only? Meaning, a 4H approach is not going to work out? Please excuse the inane nature of the question - but I cannot find the answer by simply opening my eyes. (My wife ...

Damn- It went even further today. Humph. LOL. Another day will bring more. Today we golfed - and on the 2nd hole, I sprained my right ankle walking in the friggin fairway... Bollocks.

I'll echo differently what Bundy told ya - places for bars are more important than the bars themselves. If you take note of solid areas of support and resistance - horizontally, and on trend lines, you'll be amazed how often price approaches these ...

Target achieved — I like it when this happens. And it happens frequently enough for me to add cargo! .

No - but I caught the move starting sunday night on this 4hr Outside bar. ICCE added for targeting sake only. My kind of trade. .

And 100K to 2K is MORE possible! LOL
