i agree with you its just that my emotions scream pull out when my head says stay in- my heart rate doubles (really) and i am so jumpy its not funny
this is on the 1 min/5min charts. i tried the 1hr and could not handle it because the 5/10 pip jumps were too emotionally demanding i could not handle it. i really need to get my emotions in line! How do you guys do it?

i feel the same but its better to set the trade and go out... then you come back and see either stop or profit... a small script if u want to tell it to set to BE at a certain level, u can make that automatic... thats all

I am a big fan of Hugh Hendry (eclectica hedge fund) and he made the decision 18 months ago (or so) that interest rates would come down and banks would be scary.

His hedge fund is UP - i said UP by 40% this year !!!!

He went for US treasuries only

That wasnt done with charts although he is into chart history big style

So a long term correct analysis of fundamentals can pay off massively. If that analysis is used as...
I have a sneaking suspicion that the charts started telling the story to those that can read a chart correctly well in advance of any economic news event. Whatever the big players do shows up on the charts. You just need to know how to decipher it.

boys after a week or so losing money I get the same emotions, but I have got into a trade or 2 when the drawdown kicks in my heartrate is through the roof and I think I've got to get out, but then I just do soe deep breathing and say to myself out loud let it breathe let it breathe and it brongs my heartrate down and then I can lock in the profit at say +1 then just watch the candles. Even if I get out too early I am now happy because I've nade pps and not lost them, I will build on this confidence and hopefully heartrate will be nearer normal in future. Got to love the sweaty palms

i dont know but if yur anything like me .....u will enter 50 times get an average of 5-15 pips in and out and 1 loss because yur wrong and it will wipe u out....over and over..

trading larger time frames is more reliable but the drawdown can be 50 pips at times and if yur emotion dont allow u to stay in the trade to get at least 50 pips...that wont work either

I think you are right, when I was actually doing alright I didn't even take any noticeof news and just traded off the candles and would find out after the event that the news had taken place. I am now tryng to ignore news and just follow the charts again, I was much better at that.

Nav, in my opinion the way you are trading now with such small "ante" is a far better "practice" than the demo.

You just need to see past profit/loss. Just concentrate on picking the right setups according to your trading plan/style and manage the trade accordingly while in the trade. You don't have to be in a trade all the time. There are people in here who are always in a trade and are making profits but surely this has taken them a lot of time and money to master.

It's a step by step game, there are no shortcuts.

Wait for the price to come to your perfectly set trap!!!
