Davit,
I have wanted to post here for quite some time and have been lurking and studying like crazy for months so this may be lengthy - sorry in advance
. I wanted to let you know that I am immensely thankful to you for selflessly sharing your knowledge and trading system with anyone who is willing to take the time and learn. I also want to thank fibo38, sniperdebt and the many other members here for their invaluable contributions.
I have read all of the suggested readings and continue to reread them, especially the works of Mark Douglas, Scott Carney and Dirk Du Toit. I actually read Trading in the Zone before stumbling upon your thread and have reread it twice while making my way through the 563 pages of this thread (which I finally finished reading all 563 pages of yesterday).
I don't have a lifetime of trading experience behind me nor the big losses and blown up accounts to go with it (thankfully) and I believe you may have saved me from experiencing the costly learning curve that most traders seem to endure. I have always been extremely conservative with my trading, so I have yet to blow up and account, but I did experience the typically ups and downs of a non-consistent trader. Since adopting your system my equity curve has been on a slow-yet-steady rise and I have been consistently profitable with only minor, insignificant drawdowns. Your system as laid out works marvelously, and with multiple entries, a good understanding of the fundamentals, harmonics, price action, and most importantly, trading psychology, it makes it possible for the retail trader to survive and thrive.
As a side note: Love Serj Tankian and motorcycles (especially Hondas and BMWs). I rode a CBR600RR throughout college but have been without a motorcycle for five hard years now
. Seeing all the posts about bikes and constantly having dreams of riding again has me looking around for an 02-08 VFR800...Will be sharing it here as soon as I find one!
I hope to contribute to this thread and will start by sharing 3 trades I took on EA this morning. Took the first entry on initial TDI cross (maybe premature, but that's the beauty of multiple entries), second entry on a follow-up TDI cross and glaring rejection of S100, and the third as price action continued to show bullish strength through S78.
Green pips and thanks again for everything!

I appreciate you taking your time going over the material.Its true that this thread can cut learning curve dramatically.You have solid good attitude and seems even minded person which is ideal in this business.
Take your time and only trade best set ups.You only need 3-4 batches a month to hit 10% gain.Continue on.
I had exact same bike 5th Gen VFR800.I loved it but it has some inherent weakness which is frying regulator rectifiers and their wiring from stater.
Fix is simple.When purchasing measure stater output anything below normal red signal fried stater or RR or wiring.
Here you can read how to fix

Anyway you might also consider Nighthawk 750 air cooled and bullet reliable.I have one and brings smiles every time I ride it.I moded heavily suspension LED headlight, paint, handlebars,signal lights,different carb needles etc.
Whatever you decide good luck

. I was actually looking at Nighthawk 750s on Craigslist and was especially drawn to them due to how cheaply I could pick one up and get back into riding...may consider getting one or a CB750 as an intermediate bike while I wait/save up for the perfect VFR.Set of longs on GU from yesterday. Orders protected...not feeling terribly confident about this one:
Green pips!
Process over outcome.

This thread has really helped me a lot and the days i spend reading the whole thread from the beginning were really worth it. Amongst...
. I will be closing the Open trades in the next few minutes although i believe few pairs will continue the trend next week, but i don't want to get too greedy and take what the market is giving me.Closed Trades
Open Trades
Wish you guys a happy weekend

{quote} Unfortunately only a demo! I went through a pretty big DD that I couldn't do with a real account. I have a handle on this now and I'm lovin it! Finally after 10 years!
There are no secrets. Look at MA 13/21 and MA144 ... you need to make the right trade decision...
