Been away for quite some time, 5 years I think. Glad to see Strat well and still active here! I've been trading for the Big Boys in the meantime, back to being a small guy now!

Thank you.

I have moved on to short time frames - M1 etc., but if your interest is longer time frames, check out Terry Dawe on here and visit his journal at

Dear Strat & Co,

I've been lurking around here off and on for about five years, but I finally decided to make PASR my permanent home. Five years ago when I first stumbled upon Strat's strategy I didn't know what to make of it because there wasn't a "method" per se, yet the members were successful. It began to dawn on me that there was a bit of a learning curve to the whole thing, but at the time I either didn't have the determination and patience or I was undecided on whether or not this type of strategy was worth the time investment. I could see from the get-go that it would require a considerable amount of that.

Again and again I'd revisit this thread and see, again and again, that the people who put in the time and accepted Strat's reproofs were successful. Gradually, I became convinced that it was a worthwhile endeavor. I was way too addicted to indicators though and would be until fairly recently (which, for me, was a refusal to accept responsibility for doing honest analysis and the willingness to be wrong after giving it my best effort).

For the decades of effort I've put into learning about the markets, the ONE thing I never confronted directly was the "little people" in my head. Instead of doing that, I kept looking for the magical thing that would circumvent the pain of uncertainty.

For the last seven years I've been conditioning myself to accept uncertainty and to embrace it as a kind of spiritual adventure; a means toward realizing my own potential. In a very general sense, I live that way in all areas of my life and it's made me a much better, kinder person because I learned what uncertainty does to human beings - how it makes them crazy, etc... by seeing what it does to me. This trading endeavor is a kind of test to see whether or not I can accept what the market is willing to share with me - or take away. For me, it's a kind of 'right of passage.' I've tried my very best to make this a continuous outlook with respect to each and every moment and I'm so very curious to see what happens when I deal with the market again. It's been over 10 years so it should be interesting.

Strat, I want to thank you for your years of patient effort in teaching and supporting others. I'd also like to thank all the people who have posted their charts so regularly. It's inspiring to see people who are trading successfully using simple methods, irrespective of timeframes and markets. It gives me such joy to see people being successful and who are willing to demonstrate it. I'm sure it feels inconvenient at times; particularly when some of you have been doing it for many years, but it really is appreciated; at least by me.

I know I haven't learned everything with respect to PASR, but I'm opening an account anyway to trade micro E-Minis and micro Dow futures. I set aside $1000 to lose; at least I'm willing to use it as a kind of "tuition" to confront my little people and nothing more. I'm sure I'll screw up. I'll probably make horrible mistakes as my mind goes numb, gets panicky, wants to make exceptions to the rules, gets lazy, impatient, too greedy, too fearful, too cautious, sees things that aren't there and so on. It's just par for the course. It has to be done. It MUST be addressed directly and seen for what it is, metabolized and moved beyond.

I guess I needed to publicly state an intention or something. I hope to be posting my mistakes to this thread fairly soon; at least that's what I'm pretty sure will be happening, irrespective of my "positive thinking." I'm actually very optimistic overall, but I know what's in store for me once I put actual money on the line.

Thanks Everybody!

We are at all times high . No resistance here to speak of. Taking reasonable profit and maybe go long later on as well

Hello everyone, the tortoise is still crawling ahead ... I had to spend a few weeks to work on my physical and mental health in order to remain sane and have established new routines that help me to feel more energetic again. Work is very stressful and while trading only 2-3 hours a day felt ok for some time, it slowly but surely took its toll. 10-12 hours of sitting each day (day job included) is just way too much for me. It is impossible to do this and expect to make money - maybe only if you sacrifice your health, which is not what PASR traders do.

I had the feeling that it is possible for me to be profitable on shorter timeframes, but the concentration, focus and discipline needed is brutal and for now I cannot keep it up consistently after my day job. After some weeks, I get too tired and make mistakes. Therefore I have taken the original purpose of the thread to my mind again: Long term, stress free trading. If this is not possible for me in my current situation, I think that will be it.

I continue with studying and paper trading the BOSS, which is probably the only realistic thing for me at the moment. Thank you again, Terry for reminding us of this possiblity and sharing your excellent charts with us!

Cable is consolidating above BOSS support for over five weeks now. So I do not see anything here at the moment. Maybe a close above the hammerish bar, but it looks like there are too many wicks for me:

EURUSD just looks like a total mess to me, not even worth posting a chart. Price trapped in a narrow range on the Worker. The kind of pair that would make it necessary to look for a trade, which we do not do.

AUDJPY is in a somewhat choppy uptrend, but with resistance being so close, I also do not see a trade here.

More reading and studying to come while focusing on good HEALTH!
