Hi all - done the babypips thing, read this thread and PDF and I think I am on the verge of giving up. You either get it or you don't I suppose and I early ain't getting it. EO, if I give you my gun you can pull the trigger. I god damn saw the short on gbp/us on the 15 at 15112 didn't do it. Just sat there and watched like an idiot happy trading one and all

I don't manage accounts brother! I'm just trying to shed the light! Fear of loss is a hard emotion to over come. Once you've set it aside, you will be able to pull the trigger and let the trade happen. Win or loss. Doesn't matter! If you win, good job, if you lose, good job. Keep you M;M in tact, and get back into the game. We are not defined by our wins or losses. This is just trading, nothing personal, nothing emotional. Pure acceptance for what the market give us.

Don't give up! The moment u say I can't u never will. Just take a step back and demo if you are live. If you are live just trade some .1 lots. Usually that fear is caused by trading too much. I don't know if this is the case but you will be surprised how well you do if you take the pressure of making a certain amount of the table and get comfortable with the charts.

Cheers pipi - I hope so this is sooooo cool when I know how to work it. My other issue is lack of consistency but I will save this for another time and let you kind people get on with your days. Thanks again all

only 4 traders posted they took this trade during Euro/London. That's too bad! My GM truck booked my 100 pippers on it. Nice small draw down of only the spread.

Again, I can't pull the trigger for you guys!

Good luck trading today!
Well now I am looking for the 1.4980 area we spoke of yesterday

I can't spank them anything like you boys but I've asked them politely to move in my favour a little

I was fortunate to ride with the Mrs on a big chunk of her journey today.

By the way..........how cool is the vibe on this thread! As the man's avatar says "one for all, and all for one". Outstanding!

I think our 1.5115/1.5118 area was a lot stronger than we care her credit for!!

All 3 of the ladies are good at going up and down for us! The 15 min 200 has played out nicely on the Mrs the last few days as well as shorts from the 512x area.

The vibe is great even though I haven't been around much lately I do peek in from time to time!

Well, eventually i was right with my 4H trendline So that's 90 pips down to the 1H counter trendline and the 200sma on the 15Min. In the bag !

When I think that three days ago i didn't know what a MA was, or barely (should I say bearly)... Thank you EO and the thread !

Sure was. I think I started off "expecting" price to pass on through there but fortunately followed the advice of the thread and traded what I "saw"
