I took this trade too. I am on emotional side when take this trade too because I did two good trade on EG and EU trade last night, and found this pin bar on UCHF with some confluence and want to risk some from what i gained last night.
I use the bar breaks stoploss learned from Jarroo (28 pips) and I only use 1/2 of my regular position because I don't really like this pin too much but on greedy side I want to put some extra into my pocket before the weekend.
I eventually close this trade for 10 pips LOSS because the initial break is really not I like. End of the story, even it is a winner at the end but I think it will save me for bigger lost in the future.
Have a nice weekend!

Me too - it was not worth much in all likelihood and I think you saw that going in, so good for you and manage it accordingly because this is not a primo play. I got out with just a bit less than a full 1R. Kind of like a eating chicken wings without a cold beer! Tasty, but....
On the emotional side of things - that is the real fight. Have you considered a journal for yourself? You can do a daily inventory on yourself and your attitude. Also, for each and every trade, take full stock on why you are taking the trade, the thinking and...

Yes, it is. In fact, think of it as a pinbar the breaks the "wrong way".
Thnx Chris,
enjoy the weekend.

Dude! "Someone" had to take the picture.....
Right now she's making me another drink....I'm not complaining.
She's spying on you from that back window, (or she's probably right in front of you and I see her shadow on the window pane there)
You had to do better than come up with such an obedient girl.
But I understand...
you guys freak me out every time with this issue, I feel like trashing my girl friend now.

I have 6 wins, 2 BE and 2 losses for the past thirty days (5 of these trades were on the 4hr this week which i just started consistently this month -only been one week) the rest were daily trades.
I can see you arriving at the brim of the dark tunnel.
How does it feel when you see some light?
If you can stay sincere and do the due diligence times like these are gifted to you.
Let us now see you around posting more and helping others still searching for the light.
Congratulations once again.
Regards,
Ghous.

When I woke up today in the morning I was hoping that a good hot discussion would have taken it's place.

Don't lie chris.

If you look closely at that Jack Daniels whiskey barrel, you'll see (along with various dog brushes and combs), her drink sitting there too....
After she took that picture, I had to process it for posting and that's when she was making me another....
Every Friday (weather permitting), she likes to do what she calls "Bird Watching" which is a polite term for "Let's hang out on the deck and have drinks"....LOL With my back (or lack there of), I couldn't sit in the deck chairs for long so I wanted to go inside to "my chair". She said "HELL NO I'm having too much fun" so she dragged it outside for me...LOL. She brought my laptop out so I could keep an eye on the market (and the global warming discussion) and then said, "OH baby, I gotta get a picture of this"...LOL
I've been so intensely engrossed these past 10 months 18 hours a day, 7 days a week learning to trade, reading this thread 3 times and demo trading that when I saw the picture it dawned on me "what it's all about". It reminded me that life isn't about trading, trading is about life! So I thought I'd post it as reminder to other "new" traders like myself that there's more to life than candle sticks and market moves. Something I think I came pretty close to forgetting...

Trading isn't what you would call life. I was just abt addicted to trading when I read Chris's silent service thread and his views on trading.
This is a business and although the passion to succeed is important you can not get married to your mt4, not if you're an extremely boring unsocial and stupid person.
Life is fun. Trading is not.
Thnx for the heads up, hope I didn't sound annoying or anything, I totally understood the meaning behind the pic and the post Chris, was just trying to be a bit funny for the sake of it. Hope you didn't mind.

Ghous.

...and I didn't take it as anything but.....You've never been annoying (unlike me probably) and you were among the first to welcome me here buddy. Something I'll not ever forget.
I just thought I'd elaborate a little. Now....
