Just exited the 44 long for -17.5 based on what seems to be a new LH.
Too tired to argue. Too old to care.

here you are mac
Actaully there was an FCR lower than 45 - I didn't see it either but you have it marked up nicely in your chart.

Sometimes I think it depends on feed or even colour of the chart background. I have noticed that some feeds do not draw in the tails and wicks fully all the time. The lower FCR on your chart is nice and clear.

yep I guess that had we been long at 39 on the lower FCR we could have bailed at the failure to break 34

Out of the short for +4. Didn't like the way the price was moving. Mainly though, after 4.5 hours at the screen I'm just plain cream crackered as we say on this side of the Atlantic.

Hello,

Dealing with the development of your expectancy skills with 5 minute timeframe demands a lot from your emotional state of mind. You are dealing with "noise" something out of your control. You need to endure the battles within your mind..that fear and greed that plagues us all. Yet at the same time you need to act, without hesitation. That is why it is sooo important to trade an amount that lessens your fears because if you trade scared...you will not succeed. Listen up guys and gals... you may find out that you do not have the makeup for this approach....no problem... find a timeframe that suits you as an individual. Of course..you will still be dealing with your "self". In the meantime...practice what is being shared here...it will help you no matter what timeframe you trade.

Best to all

My emotions. I watch price break that level and I get this feeling like I should trade short. Its like a weird twitch yet logicall I know, news in 45 mins and we so close to major support at1.4700. So certainly not a time to trade. But its weird, I can actually feel my emotions wanting to trade...

And no, I didnt trade. at least this time i recognized it.

This is the single missing lesson from the thread and my biggest one to learn - you have hit the nail right on the head.

Moneda,


Do you ever believe that its not the system that makes a trader successful? Sure there are great systems out there and really crap ones. But I have seen a good trader take a basic boring system and make a killing out of it, then you have me, who can take an amazing system and make a dogs breakfast out of it.

Basically you can take the same system and get two completely different results from two traders off it.

There is something that always keeps me losing, always and its not this system, that system or any other. ITs me and my head, its not learning from my mistakes.

I hope that made sense somewhere.

I need to add, the most I learn from this system is actually not the system, its the patience and to read the market and your guys constant words of wisdom. Its those little parting posts you , fX, feb and Dare do that starting to build up and sink in. Its a journey alright.
