One question... Its psychological. When you are actually trading. How does it affect your current emotional status???
Are you in OK quadrant when trading? Can you trade without much emotions????
This is small question, but maybe very important...

Because when one can be sure, that trading doesnt affect him/her... Good proof that the direction is right...imho btw...

exactly, and why ? mm
if I cant rescue at least 100-160 pips mm is not right.
try it and enjoy while learning.

g/u just moved 80 pips in 20 minutes for example, can you handle it ?

That is a very good question and very diidficult to answer....

To be honest, when trading there are still much to much emotions in play. I'm talking about greed and fears. Would call them bad emeotions. Of course there are some good emotions too. Finally we are trying to feel her dance rythm. Doubt that it is possible without emotions.

But back to the bad emotions.
There is a very simple test to check how the emotions influence your trading behavior at least for me. When trading on demo I'm doing nearly perfect and I'm able to gain 2digit %ratios nearly every day. I'm very cool and do not ponder about my money at any time.
But when using real money I got nervous, when my exposure is high (but not higher than on demo).

But there is an important point in your question.
Yes you are right. From my experiences I can say, that I feel right, when I'm in sync with my lady. It's something similiar to a trance state of mind.
You know, when you are right and in sync ....

dollar dumping started , lets play along ...

edit:
im with mamood on the psychological thing ,
if u r taking a risk u cant handle , its hard to get a straight head (thats y demo is so easy)

its the same when u fight against a bamboo stick and a real sword ...

so work on a risk u can handle , be totally honest on it , then work on expanding it slowly by practice ...

???, i maybe dont understand... Do you mean that minus 100pips is possibly rescueable? I trade small timeframes. For me stoppig in minus20-40 is very max. and i cant stomach such minus areas...I cant stand long actions. Thats my nature...

Seems so.
So we have to be very very nimble.
I'm sure the big EUR short players are going to defend their position.

If you have lost your way, brothers, read the testimony of Matthew again carefully. Christ teachings are clear as crystal.
Hi fti, I read the testimony of Matthew a couple of weeks ago as I go through the new testament. So when you say read carefully, I get the impression you have some aspect of his teachings in mind. Would I be correct? There's nothing I can pinpoint though. Is it the removal of demons from within us and let good/god guide us? That would be the basic message?

Also, do you think I should also read the old testament?

just look at any daily range, be prepared if you have a move against you to go the distance.
is that hard to do while were learning ?

teach market? not possible.
wreck ,manipulator?maybe I can hurt them a little.
but mostly I beat war drums, and am back to my old self.
I am very on them, retail is not the way to go.
but doing what i can do, matched to my size for trades.
The manipulation, although in thin markets still cannot match my reflex speeds.
thanks for looking out for me.
I am well aware of my var.(value at risk)

130+/- sequences( attack and rescue) over 8 trading days.
1 day VaR (conditional on booked revenue)
6 trouble spots( drawdowns) that I decide to book, in total.

Hi Fana,
No, I don't use stops I use VaR. This what I'm comfortable with.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_at_risk

The number of trades is not shown only complete sequences( booked, flipped, level attacks and rescues).
Each stack is an individual sequence of trades( adding to or lightening up).

Regards.
