  1. Define a consistent strategy at all levels.
  2. Log all of your set ups in detail whether actually traded or not.
  3. When you are consistently right, the results will speak for themselves and your self confidenence will come.

(Until it gets smashed again- then see point 1 lol)

Fear of losses is natural, so I think of losses as a business overhead or cost. Statistically it's the price I have to pay each day to be in 5-10 trades.

I simply cannot succeed every time but I have to be in it to win it.

Thanks, RC

I know this is no indictor trading but still do you use any
I use Fibonacci and trend lines as confirmation, they are both different forms of s/r and change polarity just as horizontal s/r does.

6348 but I wouldn't trade it, as it is too tight. A range must be 80-100 pips for me to consider it.

Would 1.2601 - .12645 be a good place to short the CAD? Or does the range start at 1.2566? How do you see things?

Pearls of wisdom RC. Another one that should be printed out and stuck on the trading room wall.

That's the second time in a week I've said that to you. It's becoming a habit!!

RC - that Cad short looked good - good pips.

Can you tell me how you decided to enter in that area? The only thing I can see is a 4 hour bucket with a very sloppy bottom and the stop for that would be a tad out of your preferred 40 points.

Hi, Paul!

I'm not RC, but if you see Seiden's videos carefuly, you will understand why he picked that level. On the H4, that's where an imbalance between supply and demand is originating (12:00 candle on 23.01.2009)

Hi Bumasoft - thanks for the reply.

I did wonder if that was the clue, the way the market crashed down through that level/little bunch of 1 hour bars on the evening of the 22nd. The bar you refer on the 23rd barely paused as it hit that level and then it didn't even look back.

Good trade!

Only goes to show, if you look back and plan your trades...........................

Yeah, I just got fried a few times and then I became scared. So I'm afraid to get in trades, even though I know statistically I should be consistently profitable if I stick to the rules and to my money management.

I bet RC wished he should have stayed in the CAD short . It fell 75 pips already from 1.25.

I don't see him in the logged in list so he may have sneaked off and gone short again at the 12498 level just to take another bite at it. If he has, more power to him. They are the sort of trades you don't mind getting out of bed for.
