DislikedI took the Jarratt Davis course as well but didn't seem to get as much out of it as you did.It was a good course in general. I'll revisit the Steve Ward material again but would like to know what specifically in it made a difference for you. Regarding Friday's data, I found the US data a bit conflicting so I opted for a GBPCAD short. This took into account that the Canadian employment data was positive and way beyond what was expected plus the fact that the recent GBP manufacturing production data was fairly weak: https://www.forexfactory.com/calendar.php?day=jul7.2017...Ignored
Its funny after doing Jarratt's course - everyone is left on their own, apart from further sales material hitting hitting their inboxes every other week
I think that's sad as sometimes its good to bounce ideas around- but there is no group to do that with-
By the way feel free to put down any ideas or views on this thread on forth-coming events
Anyway getting on to Ward - its been a long time since I read the book - but he talks a lot about "being prepared" - and that is the number one thing for me.
Also over-trading was an issue for me and it sorted me out, as I focus now on what event will give me a decent risk/reward
This involves looking at fundamentals, doing loads of research, looking at price action (support/resistance, pivots, wyckoff)
Knowing what is priced in- and by how much
It took about a year for it to finally click.
I still make some silly errors every now and then- but I know what to focus on.
Good call on GBPCAD by the way
