Good stuff, Sid. Maybe you can be our Head Psychologist!
thank you strat.
sure, i am more than happy to contribute on that side of things.

actually this reminds me... i have been contemplating for quite a while to ask if some people here are interested in some experimental coaching to see if we can generate some positive psychological changes. i do coaching and people development professionally but have never applied it to trading (only on myself).
i wouldn't charge for it, i would do it for fun and because i would hope to learn from the interaction myself (i am still far from having reached trading nirvana). obviously this would be time permitting and with a very small number of people only...

and maybe there are others with similar backgrounds that have stuff to contribute as well...

well, i guess now it's out there...

happy anniversary! (is anyone gonna bake a cake for strat?)

If I were trading this pair I would be going long at 2.1600 with a tight stop at support.

My long term data isn't usable so this analysis is from the daily only.

-The shooting star you referenced was valid but it occurred in one of Strat's 'wobble' zones between support and resistance....
I think that to be pretty certain the DT was resuming we would have to wait until the SL on 13th Oct was broken to the downside at 2.1300 as you say.

So.... its a question of PA at 2.16ish to decide if it is still ranging.

Can't post chart as it is not in MT4 for me.

I work too fast, drive too fast, walk too fast, eat too fast, drink too fast; nearly everything I do is too fast (except perhaps one thing).
There’s never enough time and always too much to do.
So, what time frame has been my trading favourite for many years?
Yep – the 5 minute.
Harmonics!

I need to slow down.
“So, what are you going to do about it?” ‘er in doors asked.
I’ll trade the daily… just like how I learned to trade stocks on paper, nearly two score years ago.

Two weeks later and five trades all good
“So, what are you going to next?” ‘er in doors asked.
I’ll try sticking to the speed limit.

I didn't hear your thoughts about the Will Smith video posted last week Strat, It was more about attitude. I assume that can be lumped in with psychology?

Wow that was quick. OK, there are three people already that would like to get involved with our trading coaching premier, which means that for now there is no more spaces left.

this might change of course, depending on how much we'll get out of this, my spare time, how long it is going to take, if people move on etc. etc.

And mine! Also the daily is not much like Strat's. Certainly not a nice pair of hammers.

BUT one must trade what one sees..........shame though!

Tomorrow this thread is 1 year old.

Strat must be congratulated

Thanks for the appreciation but the real congratulations go to Nicola (elitejets) who pushed and cajoled me to start this thread.
Hi Strat and Nicolahttp://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

The year has passed very quickly and it is appropriate to acknowledge those that put things right - guided us in the right direction. Appreciation for your foresight and dedication to continuous mastery of the trading is but a small token of gratitude. Without the constant reminder that in the random market only PASR is King there would be no successful trading for me and my wife. Although early in our trading career the improvements that we made are great, to see things that previously did not even cross our minds is without question one of the most valuable aspect of trading.

Looking back at the first time I have checked the thread until now, such variety of characters, without them this would not have been enjoyable, it is very enjoyable to see that we are making good progress and that the learning and seeing is actually very rewarding. Every post here is valuable as it shows commitment and it is not only from the "Big Five" (Strat, Nicola,Alexandra,Blackeagle,Razorback) but from all the other traders who post regularly.
I wish I could do more here but when I read other posts my contribution always seem too insignificant, as if I were to add something there is already a post that covers it all.

This is to acknowledge the efforts of all who post and learn and teach.

Thanks guys and girls!

Happy tradinghttp://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

It is a Given that one must trade what one sees. So lets say a trader uses two (or three) chart packages. One that orders are placed on , and another because the end of day is NY 5 pm. (and a third for any number of reasons).

Thus the trader could be looking at 3 different chart realities for the same pair. And the possibility that one or two charts show a PA trade signal while two or one do not.

What would you do? Why?

I'm sorry if you (or anyone) feels to intimidated about posting.
In the very beginning of the thread Strat encouraged people to post charts, say what they were thinking and ask if they weren't sure what to do or how to trade it.
There isn't any spoonfeeding here but if you ask you usually receive!

I wish people would post and ask more, because it usually generates a good discussion that everyone will learn from.

Don't be shy people!!
