It it does pass up that resistance, I think we might see a fairly large upside to it. who knows though, that is why this is the market.
I dream, therefore I become.

Hi Mike

Yes, it certainly is the beast lol - It's the pair not to take your eye off for very long that's for sure. I've now set up a target of 100 pips at 238.79 (no technical reason particularly) and the plan is that once we're 30 or 40 pips into profit, lock in 10 & then let the monster do it's thing.

It's not looking great so far as it tries to breach 230 but I'm willing to take the risk - let's see

Kind Regards
Steve

Well, I will have to say you've got guts to trade on this one. I think I'm going to sit it out until the best price presents itself, but best of luck with it. I'm just going to watch on the sidelines for now until I find the best price to enter.
I dream, therefore I become.

So was I!!!!!! :

No trades on at the mo but seriously thinking whether to carry on posting trades. For me at least this has been a huge learning curve and also very beneficial to keep track of my trading.

I really don't know at the moment whether it will hinder or help with my future trading - after all I've not actually traded live without posting every trade here.

Are you saying you might quit posting your trades ?? Do you realize that yours is probably one of the most watched journals at FF ???

If you do not post your trades, the probability of your making more impulse trades goes WAY UP !!!

How will we trade now...?? What will we do ??? ( OK joking a little here ) But still...

Have you completed the year ?? Didn't I read somewhere long ago that this was a year long thing?? Maybe I am wrong on that...

Or are you hiding the fact that you have already made your first million ?? Did you delete the post where you mentioned you were trading $ 100 a PIP ???

Hi Steve,

I believe it's beneficial to anyone who keeps a journal(whether posting in FF or keeping it to himself) when doing trading. So even you decided not to post your trade on FF, I suggest you keep a personal journal.

To me a journal will remind me of what mistakes I made and try not to repeat the same mistake again.

It will also remind me what steps I have done and what more should I do to be a better trader.

Hi Steve

I think more people are following your posts than you think.

Do not quite now, you are so close, keep it up. If you quit now, think of what your thoughts in the future will be. You may always wonder: "What if I carried on?"

Stick to your original plan, keep it up for a year THEN decise, reflect, adjust, etc.

Looking forward to your next post

Regards

I don't know, but I guess I agree with steviet. When you trade on your own, you become more effective because all decision are yours and you don't have that psychological impedence that comes from people's opinions of your trades

I encourage all newbies to keep a journal, better yet a public journal. But once you have a sound trading plan and you are able to follow it without assistance, it really becomes redundant posting your trades online.

It doesn't really benefit you as a trader once you get to that level, but I guess if you have want to help, you can do it for the newcomers

I think the most beneficial part of the trading journal has already happened for everyone following it, through all the ups and downs and the trials and tribulations of someone who is going through the learning process (Been watching since post one )

Once you are already past the major learning, the insight that is available to others doesn't really "come out" in the journal as often. I believe it becomes a much more personal and individual challenge.

At this stage i'd say the best thing someone like Stevie can do to help newbies is not continuing just to post trades with little to no psychological struggle, but to comment on other newbies journals, just like the pros here did for Stevie.

Cheers

Hi Steve,

Although I don't write much, but I follow your thread regularly. Perhaps you may not even realize how helpful your thread is.
I don't use it for signals, but for example: when you enter or exit a trade, I look into charts and think for myself "would I do that? would I do this? if so, why? if not, why?".

Look, I know it must be quite tiring for you, but keep at least until the full year. Then maybe you finish posting trades, but give people a month (or even less) to ask some questions, something like that.
And well, the full year isn't far away, right?

Really, Steve, this is one of the best threads ever!

Best to you!

George

Thanks peeps for your posts & for the pm's I've received

Well, since my last post I have opened and closed a few trades and come out with a small loss on these lol. Oh well, that's the nature of the business.

One major reason for stopping posting trades (at least for a while) is that life outside trading is just so hectic and stressful right now and it was an extra thing that I felt I had to do.

Feeling a lot better now although sitting here nursing a stitched and bandaged finger courtesy of a dropped catch at cricket over the weekend lol - didn't realise one finger could bleed so much! Maybe I'm getting too old to be diving around like a 21 year old lol.

Anyways, I'll try and post as often as I can and thanks again

Kind Regards
Steve
