i just took a look at the members at the bottom of this thread, look like we got a new group, i been around this thread since it was started, there been a new group every 2-3 months, some go on to bigger things and some drop off the map never to be heard from again.
I wish some of them were back again. It used to be such a fun, with QuickSilver and others (even FxDaily, remember?)...

Spring time, i.e. starting from March through June or July are the busy months for home sales.

Market rumour in EUR/GBP

Was told yesterday that a huge non-commercial volume was sold yesterday in EUR/GBP. My source told me more than 15Bln of non-commercial (i.e., the ones that make money) paper entered this market short. Obiovusly, they will not make the full move in a day, but I believe it is a good extra confirmation of the current technicalo picture. And the move is just around the corner...

well all this is just showing how weak a trader i actually am ...when i get the direction right i balls it up by not sticking in the trade, last night i exit both shorts cause i thought it could easily go up instead of down....

might have be a flag...

oh well another trade missed which could have come good...

the point is i think in trading in order to make money u have to risk losing it, it seem the carfeull i am the higher tendency to lose money all because im trying to keep it..

or maybe im just to damn emotional in trading

Fear of loss is the #1 motivator of man.

One of the best things ever taught to me was a principle called stop funding. Basically if the system you are using has determined that you should have a 20 pip stop on the next trade, once you reach 20 pips profit, take 50% of your trade off the table. That way, even if price came all the way back to your stop, the worst you could do is break even.

Once you do that, the fear of loss is gone and letting a trade run longer is no big deal.

Imagine driving down the road, without the emotion of fear, that you don't wear your seat belt. Some emotions are good in trading. I do same thing as you, put in trades, exit prematurely, sometimes its good I do, and sometimes not.

Don’t put yourself down Nav everyone ,(even the ones that do this for a job) has gone through or going through that phase to some degree.
You are not completely confident in your trades which lead to bad decisions. I think you just need to see and believe XYZ works.

Truly and fully accepting the risk is really hard to achieve, but unless you do it , you will be controlled by the market.
Solutions imho, are to really asses and accept the risk before entering the trade, and eventually trade smaller, to have emotions on a tight leach...
Getting it right is NOT as important as not getting it wrong.

Unless I'm real confident in my trade, I prefer to trade when the market is moving. This way I can watch it go into green, and shortly put my break even, like u said.
