Strat's PASR Long Term, Stress Free Trading

This is why we need a good broker to trade..

Well boys and girls. I know I havent been here for a long, long time, still want to show my gratitude to Strat and the many members who helped me on my journey.

Strat, once again, I applaud you for laying the foundation every trader needs in order to set themselves up for this up and down journey of trading.

I have learnt what I could and used it to better myself in my continued search to be consistent and most importantly, trade without emotion. Which actually turns out to be one of the simplest things, if you follow your rules.

I will post a chart of my most recent trade on the GBPAUD when the conservatives won last week. I remember Strat, you saying that once you can see beyond the CANDLES you will never look at a chart in the same way again. And, I know that you and many others believe sometimes that I talk too much, which I don't deny, we are all different. But on my journey, since not being here, I've taken great pleasure in finding an understanding to some if the things you taught but never told the full story. As you made us find out for ourselves I must say though Strat, I am much better being taught the whole story from the begining as treasure hunting is not my forte. I know I would have excelled much quicker. I believe if you let out more information you wicks have many more successors much quicker as some people, like myself, are better at learning with information in front of them than having to gi find this information themselves. Although it may well sink in more permanently your way I just feel it takes a long time.

Anyway, my gratitude to you will live in me forever. If it wasnt fir you I probably would have taken the next step and continued in this game of predominantly losers (not meant in a bad way).

Cheers Strat and Good Luck to all of you.

lolo....did i say GBAUD......GEEZ....STILL CANT GET THINGS RIGHT....

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE. PERSEVERE WITH strat, you will all make it one day. at least most of you will.....

wow what a Christmas tree chart. Did you put the Christmas lights on the chart instead of the tree? Joking mate . Could you be more specific about your decision to take that trade ? It’s my first time seeing those kind of candles. Please upload a chart with strat template, so you can contribute as per the rules. You may confuse new people. What’s the purpose of posting this chart. I see none of strat teachings, only fancy candles and few squares. I am not the one to tell you as I am still reading both threads. Did you see strat or other to change their template and confuse others? Did they confuse you with their charts. They are all the same with purpose. So if you are looking for approval or ovations for the trade I think that you maybe posted in the wrong thread. Good luck! Other were helpful for you but that chart isn’t helpful for others! What is beyond those rainbow candles ?

Mate. I've been here a long time and learned a lot. I have also moved on. Purpose if the chart, as you are obviously too blind to see, is to show others where Strats PASR foundation has taken me. If you had bothered to read the 2 threads fully, you would realise that some of Strats students have taken his teachings and used them to catapult their own trading. This is the purpose of my post. As you are to blind to see, some members have been here for many many years, and still not progressed to being consistent. I have, and so can they with a lot of dedication. Please dont take this opportunity away from people by trying to boost your little ego. PASR has been a foundation for many ungrateful traders. I am, and always will, show my gratitude to Strat for where he has landed me.

Adios

Sorry mate I am not blind at all. I did not wanted to make you feel bad. I am happy that you are successful trader. I am not trying to boost my little ego... you don’t know me personally to tell if I am or not. I don’t take opportunities away from people with my comment. As I told you may confuse new people /may/. There are many confusing charts from people with different templates and so on especially on the old thread that actually aren’t helping a lot. My comment has nothing to do with right/ wrong trade or your success.

Peace mate

Hope you have a great day......

Alesiosc, nice to read your post again. Congratulation for your success in trading.

Its hot in here..so lets cool down a bit and look at some charts..shall we?

What say you about EURAUD chart? If only I were infront of screen.

Anyone like the GBP pairs for a short? All charts the weekly....

we don't trade those type of charts. see my last post (post no 12570) . In Strats PASR M5 trend trading ,we trade only SAW TOOTHED BLADE TYPE TREND STRUCTURE. I just posted that Gap chart to show the difference between some brokers. Hope it clears

That time of year...

To reflect on my trading plan and the changes I have made throughout the year. It's been very enlightening for me and overall a very positive 12 months.

Going into 2020 I have a rock solid business and trading plan looking forward to a very prosperous future.

For readers of this thread and the old one: if you put in the time/effort you can form your own style to create a profitable trading plan. Do things your way and form ideas based on PASR, prepare for the long haul and trade with a professional mindset.

Thanks Strat for pointing me in the right direction and making me work stuff out for myself. Hope you are well and I hope everyone has great year next year!

All the best.

Merry Christmas and happy holiday everyone.

I came across a nice article today. Just wish to share with you all.

How Gratitude Can Affect Your Trading Results
by Mohammed Isah | December 25th, 2019
Are you grateful? This is a question that virtually everyone on the planet would say yes to and subsequently rattle off a list of items they are grateful for. This is generally true no matter if the individual is rich or if they are flat broke. It is especially true right now as this happens to be the gratitude season with Thanksgiving just around the corner. It is a time for families and friends to gather and celebrate by giving thanks while feasting and making announcements regarding those things that they are grateful for.

Gratitude Has Overarching Effects

The fact is that gratitude is an extremely popular notion thought to be at the core of being courteous and thoughtful, but actually, gratitude is much more than that. Most people would be surprised to know that gratitude is a powerful state of mind that has very real and tangible benefits which can be quantified and studied. Gratitude is far more impactful on the system than ever thought possible and it has neurological underpinnings which brings me to a personal encounter with this underrated emotion.

Ten years ago, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, initially thought to be a movement disorder but now shown to be a progressive degenerative neurological condition that has close to 100 symptoms and is due in large part to a dopamine deficiency. Parkinson’s can affect the body in ways that include severe tremors, loss of balance, severe stiffness, rigidity and back and joint pain. As you can see, even with this very short litany of issues it promises to be a real bumpy ride; to which I can attest.

Like Michael J. Fox, I noticed a small tremor in the index finger of my left hand that eventually caused me to go to a neurologist who let me in on the news. Because of this condition there are numerous challenges that get in my way. The other day was particularly tough as I was experiencing strong irritability and discomfort with little to no desire to be out and about. I was due to meet with friends that evening for dinner and considered canceling and letting them know that I would not be good company. Fortunately, there was also little desire to sequester myself either, so I used a couple of personal tools to change my internal state. One was to listen to an audio file that included frequencies designed to put my brain into a relaxed state, and simultaneously I sat mindfully still and began to list as many things as I could that I am grateful for in the span of 10 to 15 minutes.

I often include gratitude in the morning and usually before meditation; however, that day I specifically used it to connect with my higher self and experience spiritual consciousness. After about 30 minutes I felt so much better and subsequently had a marvelous time that night. That mind/body response was not just a placebo effect. My body/brain experienced a neurobiological transformation associated with my brain’s release of a neurochemical cocktail directly related to the contemplation of gratitude.

How the Brain Responds to Gratitude

You might ask: What do our brains look like on gratitude? Initially there is a shot of dopamine – whether expressing gratitude for all the wonderful things in your life or for being grateful to someone who has extended a helping hand or shared a gift; the brain triggers the release of dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that, among many other things, is secreted in conjunction with social connections, camaraderie and optimism. This hit of a special neurotransmitter encodes the experience in order for the individual to connect the act with feeling good. It all has to do with survival and the fact that social interaction and belonging are hard-wired into our DNA.
This hard-wiring developed over thousands of years in response to things our ancestors relating the disconnection from the tribe, clan, or family as meaning certain death on the savanna, so sociability is rewarded to sustain the practice. Additionally, when you engage in being grateful, serotonin, another feel-good neurotransmitter, is released in direct response to positive thoughts, memories and expressions of thanksgiving. The region of the brain that lights up at that time is called the anterior cingulate cortex (a small area of the brain just above the temporal lobe on either side of the left and right hemisphere). Serotonin supports mood elevation very similar to anti-depressants, affecting will-power and motivation.

Over the past few years there have been many research projects specifically aimed at deepening our understanding of how the simple state of gratitude affects the body and mind. One such study is featured in The International Journal of Workplace Health Management (Vol.2 pp.202-219). This research project noted that among nurses, gratitude was a consistent indicator of a number of productivity enhancers; such as, fewer absences, higher job satisfaction, more proactive behaviors, less exhaustion, less cynicism, greater health and increased safety within the work climate. In other words, gratitude brings happiness by not only expressing it to others but also having gratitude towards the self.

Gratitude and It’s Affects on Trading Results

So, what does this have to do with trading? Well, one of the ways to put this into practice and begin laying the groundwork for enhanced focus on what-matters-most and being in the now of the trade is to use a gratitude journal. This could be a brief but compelling paragraph every morning or evening that describes the day in terms of all the things that happened which involved a sense of well-being and high performance and being grateful for each of these experiences. As noted above, this exercise, due to the nature of the brain’s response to gratitude, would begin to lower stress levels, sharpen focus, support greater clarity and develop an increase in the brain’s ability to be coherent, communicative and coordinated, all of which are precursors to supporting your ability to remain centered, grounded and focused as you trade.

Here are a number of other benefits directly related to the act of being grateful: pain reduction, stress regulation, the improvement of sleep quality and the reduction of toxic emotions, just to name a few. So, giving thanks takes on much greater implications for getting the results that you want both in trading and in life.

Joyful Trading

Corinna,
Thank you kindly for this thoughtful Christmas gift.

Well, I just came in to show my gratitude and wish you all happy Christmas and New Year ahead. Looks like Corrinna and BTS already ahead of me.

Thanks Strat. I learned a lot over the years. Where ever you are I hope you are well and Happy.

Take care guys..

Hi Suran

Pepperstone is not correct either, there were probably no orders till the start of the gap so pepperstone created a fake candle. Any large wide ranging candle generally is full of gaps so our brokers and MT4 just fill it the gaps.

How does this help us, Xm is correct.

Ohh I see .Thanks alot .

Merry Christmas !
