Hi guys, just an update ... I will not be trading actively for a few weeks ... I have an opportunity to help a firm with training and have decided to take it. I am busy getting to know their systems etc. so I am very busy and will travel with them ...

Ended at -21 ... trade one and two was both valid pullbacks according to my opinion but i should have cancelled trade two when it tapped but did not engage ... trade three did well ... trade four was also a valid trade in my opinion .... any ...

Thanks for the feedback ... to recap what I learn from this ... the first trade did not have a good enough pullback thus did not indicate a good S&D level and was a risky trade ... trade two did not make a HH so should not have been taken ... trade ...

Ended at -15 ... slipped with a railway bar again ... pesky things ... did not see good setups in general today ... I do not know where you get all your +2s, Mr D ... would appreciate any comments in general ... I learned a lot from the comments ...

End at -9 ... started off really well but then lost focus and paid the price ...

Ended at +20 ... they say trading is part science and part art ... it is the art part that takes time to master ... but it help a lot if you can see someone that has mastered it already that is doing it in action, thanks Mr D !

I agree, it is a simple no nonsense way and the reason it is working for Mr D is that he has worked through all the mental issues so that he can just focus on seeing the setups, taking and managing them. The rest of us is busy working through and ...

Ended at +1 ... had data issues so was a difficult session anyways ... between patience and emotions things are settling down ... I know where to focus and it makes it easier ...

Excellent stuff ... congratulations ... I was way too impatient and paid unncessary schoolfees ...

Ended at -9 ... I am going to take few days off and just spend time in replay ... no focus ... my head is messing too much with me ... even on sim mode ... other types of rhythms and pattern ... need ...

Ended at +2 ... I had a meeting and started late ... waited fo good signals and missed a few and caught 2 with a BE and +1. I have decided to give myself a bit of help with regard to the context aka longer time trend and put a 30 second 21sma and a ...

No trades for me today ... a few came close but none triggered ...

Today I got slaugthered ... my data was on and off so I missed the first part of the session and then tried to catch a few falling knives .. bloody hands are the result ... pullbacks was also a mess for me today ....

After all my experiments and trials and ups and downs over the years I have seen or met only a few people that have achieved consistent profits over time, and without exception they have a simple and defined stategy with a good risk reward ratio ...

Sjoe ka wena ... that is a hectic way to trade ... must be tough on your mental framenwork when done in a live account ...

Thanks for the advice. I tried that type of trading earlier in the year on Sierra and it did not work for me ... the widers SL makes a good risk reward ratio difficult ... but it was on the very short timeframes so will check it out again on longer ...

Ended at -50 today ... caught the wrong kind of pullsbacks ... seems I find it hard to shake the habit ... I need to spend more time in the replay function ... good thing I am in sim mode ... eish.
