{quote} Always Meran destination? Not bad today....... {image}
yes, Meran is always a good destination. oh very nice, i didn't even check weather forecasts – since it's almost always better and warmer than here in southern germany.

{quote} I am really blessed to be trading DAX in Asian hours because US guns are not blazing all the time. Having finished my daily quota of pips trading in Asian session, the moves in Europen session become so clear for me to identify entry and exit correctly for 90% of the times. My fixed grid : I enter and exit in 10 points. Do it for five or six times . and I am done for the day. Having collected wins in the Asian session, I don't feel pressured by a drawdown in Europe. I never increase trading size portions. I only use Grid the way you do....
Is it possible to trade without pression? I mean , when you trade for living, when you depend on this job? when all your finances depend on this up and down?

I don't think so. at least this is my case, my opinion.
But if I could, I will surely increase the performances, but on the other side I probably will not take risks that sometimes lead to difficult trades but also to nice profits..... in the end I don't know the answer!!

It all depends on your financial needs.
I retired at age 50 with my retirement income covering up to age 100.
The only passion I had was financial trading. I started doing options when I did not have money even for 1 contract.
I used to just do a mental simulation of trading options back in 1982.
Trading became a passion (not an obsession) when I was into money from my ventures after quitting financial journalist last job being with Asian wall street journal.
Online trading in 1996 got impetus in 2002 when I found MT2 and news trading. FXCM banned me because I was winning on every job employmnt day by trading a straddle at entering 60 pips above or 60 pips below whichever clicked first. 20 pips profit was achieved daily. Later they made it difficult to trade news because 5 minutes before the spread will become 80 pips. That's when I realised MT2 is designed to benefit brokers by helping them with a B book manipulator. Since then, I have never traded on MT platform and became a customer of IB. Just used MT platform to understand the logics of indicators and EAs. That helped a lot.

Major help comes from probability study spreadsheets produced by MT4 indicators. It is my bible for planning good times to enter, how much to bet and how to make guesses with some pattern backing it.



Financial trading gives me an opportunity to convert randomness into certainties. And that gives me a kick. I have studied the antics of market makers and understood their limitations while bidding in auctions. Bidding has to be strong at Open and End hours. Also when at least three more markets converge and supply high volume.

If you can figure out their intentions, then you make money. They play psychological games on the chart and trap impulsive traders. If you are not looking at the charts and have a clear view of trading then that you will always be a successful trader. That is what I did on Tuesday be selling options at the peak of 15035 and from the proceeds of selling options, bought Put option. Luckily, both worked. Within 4 hours I liquidated the risk by buying back options from price decrease and gain in put option price. Just for fun, when I got so much money, I did new option trading with 2 parts. One was selling at top of current price buying Put option for bottom price and out of free money, just bought an insurance Call option. I was not sure if luck will oblige me again so was very careful in restricting my risk by buying Call option. Luck again favoured me and I exited by buying back sold Call options and selling Put options.

But then on a hunch I did not liquidate my Bought option (insurance) which was now totally free of cost me. I have added 40% markup to my cost of bought option (which actually is financed by my profits) and now waiting for the sale to happen at around 15350. Presently I am at a breakeven level.

Money from financial trading was never involved at any stage to support life. It was just fun and a brain-stimulating passion. It has remained so.
People laugh at me when I say money is not the motive for financial trading. I have posted hundreds of posts sharing all my real-life trading experiences.
But FF newcomers or oldtimes want hand-holding, signals, and above all, an opportunity to call me names. That is the real world. I am amused by them.

I have shared 100% of my experiences (not knowledge) at various FF posts. But that generation of serious learners is not there. Everybody wants barbecued fish, effortless solutions, magic pills, and has no time to invest in learning how to fish. But they are willing to burn their money rather than invest any time.

Since I have no motive to be a Guru, it hardly matters for me. But one thing I must admit, by writing each post, my trading has further improved. So my time is really not wasted. I don't respond because I don't have impulsive nature. I don't seek attention, fame or money.

{quote} and it was a suprise dip imho, but you know they catched some stops, they re.load longs lower and now they are ready to break 220/230 resistance zone....maybe! Hi, Pabuuu, I hope all well for you too!

I was expecting a dip actually, was hoping for a bigger one even and had some buy limits in place down .5045 but unfortunately it didn't go down this much.

I am doing quite well actually, trying to customize your approach to match my personality and it is working out quite well. Thanks for asking! Hope you doing well after the shot yesterday as my mother had her 2nd dose of pfizer as well.
The only thing that will make us successful is if we can control ourselves!

Thanks , I'm fine! I guess the same for you mum, isn't it?

It's good to find a trading way for your personality, not easy to find,generally speaking, but it's a clever idea for sure.

13 years of working for newspapers had worn me out.
A series of shoestring-budget ventures for another 13 years got me a bonanza.
A person like me who seeks no name, fame, money and can't cater to the needs of today's short span of attention generation does not want to write a book just for vanity.
Readers will be very few because unlike a few decades back, book production costs have dropped tremendously.
Public libraries are vanishing.
Everyone wants to write a book whether there are readers or not.

Yes, I understand.

In some way, this journal for me is like a book I write every day and there are market phases, euphoria, depression, Covid era, Trump era, bloodbath, US elections, and so on, with little big things that happend and happens in my personal life, here too!!

I like you for what you write.
I also like you for defending friends who are not satisfied with free $100,000 courses being offered by me and wanting more and more ...as a matter of right.
I like you in spite of you not having professional training but always willing to share experience genuinely without any expectations.

{quote} Is it possible to trade without pression?
absolute and total precision is what we must strive for with every single trade.
"i fear not the man who knows ten thousand punches. i fear the man who practices one punch ten thousand times" (or something like that is the quote)
we repeat the same thing over and over again. again and again. trying to reach perfection.
