{quote} Nice, I was waiting for this one as well, but it's late and I closed my MT5 already
Hi Nick;
Yes, 10.45 were you are I think?
There were far better setups earlier in the day
I've just got back from the day job
There's usually something to Trade at this time though

Yes, 10.52 at the time I'm writing this
Usually London is best time for me to trade, and can be NY but before LD closed.
Will you consider running small business and trading at the same time? It gives you some flexibility in time!

I'm a builder so it's very hands on with no time to Trade
The plan is, when I'm to old and knackered to continue building I will Trade to keep the wolf from the door
Trading keeps my mind active

{quote} Keep up the good work Steve we all appreciate it. When I was young I wanted to be a bricklayer but I ended up in finance. As a result I'm no longer handy for any kind of manual work. On the news today there was a piece about the lack of people in building trades in Western Europe because young people don't want that type of work so these countries must get workers from Eastern Europe. When the pandemic will be over this problem will grow and the result will be rising wages and rising building costs. Has this problem hit the UK yet?
I'm pushing 60 and still fit and able
The sad thing is I'm probably a lot fitter than kids half my age because of the sedentary lifestyle people lead today
When I was a kid (younger than 30) I was out playing football and generally running around
Today they are playing computer games and following Social Media
I do think Social Media has a lot to answer for
In an earlier post, I mentioned the BBC iplayer programme about Instagram "Influencers" who encourage people to give them their money so they can "Trade it for them" to give them the lifestyle they Aspire to by doing nothing it's crazy
Saying that the situation here doesn't seem too bad there are young people who want to learn the building trades but not as many as there were back in my day
We employ an apprentice who is very keen to learn which is very encouraging so it's not all bad
Do you mean Builders Wages are going to go up in Cyprus? Now that has got me thinking maybe I should oh Bo@@l@cks BREXIT

It's always good and happy to do stuff that we love.
I used to work for an insurance company as an underwriter. TBH, I liked the job but didn't like the working environment which made us ending up doing all the nonsense work instead of the main job.
I then quit that day job, planned on opening a cafe for English learners. But COVID came and disrupted the plan. That's how I found out about TRADING, and spent over a year learning it. Besides building a small online store.
I have not been consistently profitable so I only trade a very small account and have not blown any account. However, have put quite some money into different courses.
It takes a lot of time and experience just to understand which trading style best suits my personality. To be consistently profitable is still a long way to go. However, trading is now a passion.

{quote} Very nice Steve, I got +20 this afternoon during London session. I'm done for the day, some people say on Friday the price is not moving normally (I'm not sure if it's true)
Hi Nick;
Well done with the successful Trade
I've never understood why Traders find Mondays and Fridays too unstable to Trade
I definitely think Small Targets are the answer
As you realise it comes down to personal preference and the type of Trading that suits your personality
Just trying to figure out a +10 Pip move, on a regular basis, is hard enough but trying to work out longer term Swing Trades with consistent results doesn't suit me at all
The less time spent in the Markets the better we never know if a major event that will affect Price dramatically
Anyway that's me done for the week
In the UK we have a Bank Holiday so I will be around on Monday to Trade

It's absolutely true
I will spend the weekend to study ICT (I found some summary documents in PDF from a forum, so probably not necessary to watch the videos)
Besides, I found Vertex course on the internet, took a quick tour, I find it's quite straight forward, shorter and easier to understand, I will try to watch them as well.
Very nice to know that you will be around to trade on Monday
