Hey Tiki, shit happens. If I had any advise it would be to stick to higher time frames and use a position sizing model that has a defined risk. Then set it and forget it. In fact the Daily ATR 14,2 works well and keeps you out of the noise. I can't remember where I got the ATR indicator from but it also helps with position sizing. Sure you might have stops 150+ away but then you only adjust the stops once ATR moves up. I use this system in the equities market and just now figuring how to apply it to forex.

Your not an idiot and we all make mistakes. I once shorted a stock I was to take long and did not realize until the next day. This kicked my ass and took a nice chunk from my ass. Hey dust off and stick with one system... I think the more desisions one makes the more chances of messing up.

You'll be fine, just suck it up and drive on.

Hi Tiki,

I know exactly how you're feeling. I been at this forex thing for 30 months now and I still let some of my lossers run. I keep telling myself ...it'll turn around, but it just doesn't seem to hear me...lol. I still can't believe I do that, but I do. So don't beat yourself up about it, just move on to the next trade. Just keep a positive attitude and know that with every loss your getting one step closer to figuring out what not to do next time. As long as you have $50 bucks in your account you're still in the game.

And I had almost missed this... only just saw it after I lost... quite possibly the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me...



Well.. I am speechless... and of coarse, there is no need to worry about me outrunning anyone....

OK... it's all off my chest... not that I feel that much better... what a mountain Hilmy.... how ever will I climb this...???

Let this be a lesson to everyone... whatever you learn from it... you get it at my expense today...

How much is the damage...??? Lets see if my calculator will go that high... I'll be back with that later... just makes me too sick to post it yet...
been there, done that. You already know what you did wrong. So let's focus on the next trade. Chin up, eyes open, and grow your trading business!

Mate.....

I see you got caught with your hand in the cookie jar again....

I feel for you. but if i was anywhere in your vacinity i would plant a size 10 boot up your bum. That said, now "Build a bridge, and get over it".

I like your style trying to catch the breakout. but in this case you got caught by the fake breakout. I have learnt a way from Mike to trade break outs, that keeps you out of the fakies and gets you in when the real move comes. Here is one i am watching. Wait for the pull back to the broken TL if PA in direction of break out then trade the PA (I am looking for a PB) If no viable PA then enter on break of recent H/L in direction of Breakout.

Hey Tiki,

Coming to your thread today and seeing that number felt like a kick in the nuts, so I can imagine what it felt like to you.
But it's done and over with.
I know we all keep saying "stick to your plan" for both entries and especially exits/stop losses. But sometimes it's hard to stick to the plan. I'm sure almost everyone has been in a similar situation.

Anyway, keep at it man. Just stick to the damned rules and stop losses.

All the best,
Tom

All this will not be easy to overcome... and I still have looming possibility of losses to come on GBP/USD and maybe even EUR/CHF...

I guess I could just add money to my account... it's not that I don't have money I could add... but this time I won't... this year it is real... I have to make it this year...

Shut down your PC and walk away from trading for at least a week. Don't be tempted to watch the charts or listen to financial news either. Accept your losses, rethink rules and move on ....

Always beating me to the punch...!! I will try... to walk away that is... but of all.. that is the hardest... the losses are accepted... no problem... I suspect that a bigger problem is that lately I begin to listen more and more to financial news and to try and connect the dots... but I am not qualified to do that... I think that a better idea will be to stop listening to financial stuff.... Even for a while I had stopped looking at the FF calander...

I am posting... well, I was about to post the JPY chart... I can see exactly what you said about trading inside the zone... on 4 hr time frame... so many good trades were there... but they did not show up on daily time frame...

you are not trying to catch the bottom here, are you ?....:surprised

..I suspect that a bigger problem is that lately I begin to listen more and more to financial news and to try and connect the dots...
..
listening to financial news is like looking for tips from yesterday's news... imo. Walk away from trading and FF for few days... if you can..
