I remember giving this beautiful, detailed account of a HOLO entry when what I was describing was a 1-2-3! Post rapidly deleted, lol.

Well at least I am in good company

Must also admit I am beginning to way over complicate 1-2-3 method and overthink things way too much, this is were I make errors with close out too early and not letting things play out.

Yeah, it's human nature. We can't accept that something so simple can actually work. It's the same with a product that is given a greater standing if it is expensive as opposed to free. You could de-brand a phone for instance, then price one as expensive and the other either free or cheap. Most will go for the more expensive one because of perceived value.

Yep I agree entirely.

My other issue is after using lots of indicators over the years I always have wanted to dump the indicator crap!
Since coming to TooSlows thread I have had lots of issues doing just that!

But have resisted in loading this excellent thread with unwanted crap the opposite is now happening
At times I miss indicators but realise I do not need them!

Thanks for your valued import, always appreciate you and hal7 chipping in,

No worries. Listen, we've all trodden this path you are on and while it is annoying and distracting for now, it's also an important milestone to pass. There are also some bridges that once crossed, they need to be burned.

(Ok, I've pushed that analogy as far uphill as it can go )

Yep you just helped a lot thanks, just looking over my shoulder at the bridges I just set on fire!

Have a great weekend. DT

Please understand my comment was not to say your trade was a mistake but simply it was not a 123. There are many ways to trade profitably. Let's not confuse others reading this thread by posting non-123 trades. Green pips to you, Mate. Cheers!

Is it the indicators you miss or something else? Were the indicators a "security blanket"?

Hi TooSlow,

No I fully understand the need to stick to your excellent advise.

One other thing I must do is to stick to your comment regarding to "stick to one pair until profitable"
I have read this in your thread numerous times and I am a constant offender.

As you will have seen with my posts, I have been all over the place taking various pairs and not concentrating on just one.

From Monday I will adhere to this and see what results next Friday brings.

Best regards, DT

I think I was missing the walking sticks for support!

Now I have truly got over this with the help already given to me from lemercenaire.

Good afternoon TooSlow,

Message received and fully understood

I am going to stick to EURJPY for the time being, so when you see my trades posted next week you will see on the button panel the other pairs are blank.
This serves as a reminder to me to stick to this one pair!

Chart posted as example as per above.

Have a great week end,

All the best, DT
