Just waiting waiting waiting here....

I still find it the hardest part of trading. Watching the market move and waiting. The little demons get to work telling me "hey everyone is out there making hay" but it's just the ego talking. Don't try and supress it, just hear it, say "thank you for sharing" and move on. This much I have learned. Never get into an argument or a fight with the ego. Just nod and do your own thing.

That may not make sense to anyone but it does to me...

So lots of "nearly" trades but nothing for a few days that fits my criteria.

So I wait.

I AM NOT going to allow disruption in this thread.

All i have to do is put someone on my ignore list and they will not be able to post in this thread.

I WANT ALL OF YOU both new and old that enjoy this thread to help me moderate it.

If you see a trouble maker please let me or mbqb11 know.

i will not stand for personal attacks either on me or any of you.

if someone has a beef with me they know how to reach me.

while i am out of town mike has my phone number.

do not hesitate to let mike know about something.

Is it just me or has James been "heading out in 3 hours" for the last day and a half...

Take a rest big guy, and remember that the voices of those who understand and appreciate you here and on PF far outweigh the ones of those who don't.

Trade an Absolutely Miniscule Lot of one of your Wild Choices. It will help guide you into understanding Another Market.

Yeah - but you know that a little Leprechaun is lurking nearby seeing if you'll wait long enough and patiently enough to be ready to take his pot 'o gold....

Yep know the feeling.... no trades at all for a couple of weeks now (was on holiday for 10 days of them mind you).

dodgy looking setups start looking tempting but must resist! (AUDNZD daily PB for example)

The simple solution is to trade several different markets, and instruments. I haven't done much forex trading lately either.

I am however....short MSFT, PM, HPQ, and long 2@SEHK. (China Light, Hong Kong Exchange) The point is, there is less opportunity in trading just the 16-20 pairs the average Forex bucketshop offers.

I have found that with a few minor tweaks, T.A. works with all liquid markets, and even illiquid ones if you zoom out enough. Support is support, resistance is resistance, etc.....

My trading returns have skyrocketed since I have got involved in other markets.

Now if I can only get someone to sponsor me for a Series 7....that would be something. I guess the Series 3 will have to work for now.

Just some things to think about.

What an awesome idea. Thanks B.

And thanks to SP and everyone who replied to this too.

And I really relate to Jim, sons a bitches get under my skin too. Sometimes my blood just boils and I find it hard to let go. People with a victim mentality, negative and bitter people...there are a few categories that hit my buttons. I am actively working towards being able to let it go.

Because if I get a resentment and it sticks in my mind, it's just like holding my breath and waiting for the other guy to turn blue.

I had a thought - can you have Jim temporarily banned?? First, it would force him to chill out, second, his family would thanks us, and third, it shows we care...

Great advice Chris. I guess I've been focussed on getting one thing right before moving on. But you may well be right that increased opportunites will help my forex trading.

I just don't want to get overwhelmed and try and take on everything at once. Focus on doing one thing . And truth be told, issues of position sizing and which platform to use mean that I know I'll have to do a ton of research on it.

It's definitely on my list though, and I may move it up. First I want to log a few consistent (modestly) profitable months on my forex. Still very new to this.

I've been doing a little digging myself Chris, but if you have the time, I'd love a post on "resources I have found useful when looking into other markets" So far I've taken your advice and bought a futures and options for dummies book and had a look or two at the videos on www.learningmarkets.com. Both very useful.

I would have to call James and have him ban himself, I have no powers, only the power of persuasion
