I always join other traders at the trading forums, charting on Facebook. Waiting pays off when great setup shows up. There was a time all JPY pairs were ranging/moving sideways. You could see their breakout finally- excellent bullish movement. Forex is a game of patience. I have learned a lot to be patient. I was taught that good and great setups don't come every day/week. I have witnessed it. It's truth.

Ignored
True , this is why we wait the trade to come to us , but till that time come im always looking to pass the time with somthing benefit me / and same time keep me focus as mindset readyness is somthing i build it before i look at the chart to take a trade everytime

Good idea about chating with other traders since it does not let you out of focus
