Perhaps it might help if you upload a pic of some of your trades and some of us could perhaps offer advice?

It is ok just try and understand what happened and those days will get few and far between until they disappear.

But never think it is ok to lose money to learn because it isn't. So do your best to analysis the bad trades and compare to the PDF's and if you can't see it post it up, and someone may spot the error..

But don't let it get you down .We all have bad days in the beggining and some of us still have that odd day where we think we are smarter than the market.

So just keep on marching .

That's a Bummer MCFLY, sorry to hear it.

Nothing wrong with going back to basics though, just keep your chin up

EO you've mentioned you're with MB and so am I. Just wondering why your h4's are closing an hour before mine?

I use Rumus for my charts, not MB's. I also use FXDD's charts which close the same time as yours. Since the time change, we need to remember that we have h4's that close an hour apart from one another. I find it helpful to be able to see both h4's. Another reason why we break down to the lower TF's for entries vs. just trading off the h4/daily.

Having looked around FF extensively for a while I DEFINETELY agree with that! No thread like this one on FF! I don't understand what you guys are talking about (tweezers?) but I enjoy just following you and the great vibes. Can't wait for the weekend when I'll study these pdf's!
