The market was in a corrective wave when you took the trade and therefore you should have been looking for long opportunities instead (I think!)
Thank you Dave. I still have big problems to see ALL I need to see. I think I'm one of a few non successful until now.

Don't worry Milton, I think there are a lot of failed trades that don't get posted here. It's easy to get the impression that everyone is hitting home runs but I'm sure that isn't the case. Personally, I have on the whole been up at the end of the day but not by much considering the number of trades I've made. Still far too many questionable trades which will reduce with time (I hope).

We must remember too that Sho has been refining his judgement with this method for years now.

Last week I also had a lot of losers.

The key is demo first and learn the different currency behaviors.

I struggled with GU last week and this week EU did it for me.

I have been trading for 7 years now and this method is really good.

i use to close a winning trade to early.
Closing the loser with little loss works fine, i am doing well on this part of the game.
If i am in the trade on the winning side i always have the feeling to be wrong, afraid this can turn into a loser and i close the trade to early.

I thing what Sho says : " the need of rules and a solid plan" is what im missing in my trading.
There a so many things, i find it hard to put al this stuff in a rule.
It all clear in the hindside but in realtime there is a lak of confidence in my mind.

This is a method I use to practice. I open a chart, use my mouse to drag the price back as far as data exists. I then (using my mouse) advance each bar and make judgement calls as to what I would do in real time. This way you can not see any price to the right of your screen until you advance it(one bar at a time) with you mouse. I tried to make a video to post showing this but after uploading FF said file was not valid.

Hello MJ
For exits find out clear targets and determine main stopping points otherwise fear and greed will take over you and you will be overtrading.

Thats why I use fibs and see the price direction and then have a plan in mind where the price is going and where it will be stalled.

Without a plan and direction, Say if you made 30 pips you will have many different emotions controlling you.

1. Greed: I am not happy I need more?
2. Fear : I am worried it can reverse and take my profit?
3. Panic:I am sad as i dont know whether to exit or not?
4. Anxietyray god for the price to move in your direction...
5. Mental Breakdown(tired of thinking): I can close and then keeping looking at charts and when you feel adrelin when price starts to go again in the same way renter and then panic and chicken out..

All the above emotions will play out all in one time and if u take a decision it will be wrong most of the time. This is why a plan and target is very important for this business.

Choice is yours?

I am still a rookie here to but if there is anything I can do to help let me know. Sho has helped my trading so much! I will be the first in line to help anyone I can.

Another thing I did was print all Sho's charts and put them in a notebook. Any free time I had I would flip through them to review.

I spent so much time reading and studying the materials my wife thinks Sho is a code name for another woman
