The System II (Yes with irony)

no im not!! unfortunately.. risk is to much... (from last fractal), was waiting for a pullback but no pullback heheh so just watching... you're happy i take it heheh-- hey Umbro how long have you been playing this "system" or method should i say for? ive been doing this method for over a month now!! over all im up just alittle.. but still have alot to learn more screen time is all i need while containing myself .. i consider myself quite lucky to be up.. in the first 2 weeks i took a massive whooping.. but made it all back last week as the market was great caught 3 good rides...well that's my story.. more than ever im lovin the challenge the market brings to me everyday!!!

okay give me sometime I have a terrible headache amd tomorrow a job waiting me. You write too much

It's nice to see this thread is again active. but please people post some comment. against me too, I don't care.

prices is stalling what are you intending on doing umbro!! the rest of you guys...

Kien I would like to talk with you privately. Tomorrow probably.

Price is stalling sometime. Let's wait and see. What we can do ?

I have been using just the basic 1 2 3 set up going in the direction of the swing. It's been working very good for me, put a little of my own spin on it. Just wondering if everyone here is using the plans as is or are they doing thier own thing?

This has been a great thread and has taught me a lot and really improved my skills and helped me bring all the "systems" I have been using together to one plan.

Hope everyone is doing well!

ok guys as Kien said price is stalling I can exit with 27 pips. what do you suggexst ?

Don't be ashamed you are not loosing anything.

Furburr what you are doing in the other thread come here...

hey simpleguy!! i have been reading this thread and what it teaches mostly is using a simple method to enter and then manage the hell out of the trade.. it mainly focus on the 5 min time frame but whatever suits you best..( trade your personality, be yourself and not someone eles)...
how i see it. Is that it touchs mostly on expectations your exits which i believe it the most important aspect of managing a trade.. not entry but exit... of course nothing is more important than the trading mentality .. and ONLY and ONLY hundreds if not thousands of hours of screen time and trading LIVE not DEMO!!! can help you.. but seeing all the different kinds of stuff the market throws at you.. i also believe you must play at a level where losing will affect you...and winning 100 pips will put a small grin on your face

Ok guys. I tell you what... it's midnight here in Japan I'm tired but I'm really very happy you come here today. I have a job tomorrow and I have to sleep for 4-5 hours at least. Hope to see you tomorrow too. I'm closing my order at +20. Kien you are in charge to manage the rest (just joking sorry).

The last thing. I saw 23 traders viewing this thread. Great.

it's 1am here in Queensland, Australia.. ready for US lol...

My suggestion is to follow what initially Feb intended for this thread. Just a simple 1-2-3 and boom! The rest is just pure complication.

They key for my success in life, generally speaking, lies in the process of doing things. This will sound complicated but if you think long and deep you’ll catch my drift. When I was a kid , there’s one forbidden phrase in my house “ I can’t do it” You have no idea how many slaps I got in my face because of that. Eventually I bite my tongue. I have to literally bleed in order for my father to help me out with any situation. Yes, I bled a couple of times doing stuff that I really don’t fell comfortable talking about. I brought this mentality to my professional and personal life.

Was my daddy a bad guy? No way!! I can’t thank him enough to show me this way…

On this, I learned the following:

Results are irrelevant…really, trust me it works that way. Here’s some food for your brain.

People play the lottery with the idea to pick the winning numbers…sounds logical right?

They cross the fingers “hoping” to get it right this time…” I wish I get the winning numbers” They talk about “the numbers” like if they are already made. Like if someone already decided what the numbers will be…wrong!!!…that’s up in the air.


Some traders too focused on catching the wave in x direction, like if that was already decided….”the market is long/short etc…….see, I really don’t care on what direction the market ***should**move. My only concern is ONLY to be there when the opportunity knocks…that IS the process….which is more relevant than the results….

The process of doing things will mold the results sooner or later. I can’t explain this in simple words because this is one instance in what you must do the walkin, I really can do it for you. But as long as you get stuck in the middle trying to get results AKA winners, you will be crippling the process of doing, which is where you need to put ALL your effort.

When I trade, I win every time, even if the outcome is negative…why???. The gap between the two(process and results) will grow closer and closer to the point that you will come ahead every month and trading will be…what’s the word????? Boring…

I am not intending to impose my beliefs or preach religion etc. I do believe in frequency, vibration, light, the law of attraction and interaction within the universe.. I believe humanity complicate things too much. It is simple, there’s no other way to put it.

I will probably sound arrogant but here I go: When I started trading I knew I was going to be successful. I told my mentor that I was gonna be succesful. He rolled his eyes but after a couple of years he realized I was right. Here’s what I did:

I didn’t wish to be the best. That wouldn’t be right. You don’t have to beg, you just simply have to go thru the process. I knew that my process would not be an easy one, but I saw the whole picture: Process and results. But as I began trading, focusing on results faded away and I submerge entirely in the process.


Everytime you “wish” for something, you’re simply begging. Nobody is gonna give ya something for nothing. So the effect will be a whole bunch of people (who are actually doing the process) stepping on your toes…and probably on your head if you’re on the floor.

I mastered the process. I learned valuable lessons via the process. Then I became successful.

In this game, whoever is numero uno won’t stay at the top for long. Very soon, they crash and burn. The idea is to stay at the middle, enough to make a living and save some cash.

My daily routine

My guide are my hands. Every morning (no exceptions) I close my eyes for a while, and I touch my hands gently looking to feel the softness. I get in contact with myself before anything. I drink a full glass of water as soon as I wake up – no exceptions. I meditate . Simple stuff. I don’t pray , I just look within myself.

Whenever I sit in front of the screen, I make sure is me in 100% because I know the task at hand will put me in the risk of a total drainage.

I will not tell you that it woks like I just discovered gold or something. I know it works magically for me. But it’s important for you to be 100% when you do something. If not you’ll be screwed most likely.

Trading is one of the most difficult jobs in the whole world. Put a lot of stress in your heart. But if you choose to get this business going, you must know, in top of everything that losing is not bad. Is like breathing to life. Take another perspective and embraced. Once you conquer the cookie monster, trading just become a walk in the park

This is most likely my last post(s) in this forum. Everything come to pass and my postings are not an exception. I sincerely thanks everyone who contributed to the thread(s). I sincerely hope for you all the best and I am honored to help so many people in this site.

I will stick around for a couple of days, just in case someone have a question. Then I’ll move on.

Who knows I might comeback one day.

Good Karma.

thankyou dearly for you teachings... i have matured and learnt alot.... thanks and goodluck for the future....

Great you came back with us.
I hope you are ok. I have this feeling reading ... I'm really happy for you.
You post subject says "farewell" but I hope you'll post again. Ok, it's up to you, you already gave a lot here and I really appreciate every your contributions which are helping us going through the process ...
You are at a different level not only because you are a great trader but also because you are a great person able to see things simply like they are with no extra complexities.
Trading is difficult and stressfull by itself and there's no "numero uno", I agree, that's why I think we should respect each other and grow together for the benefit of ourselves.
I practice zazen everyday and when I don't feel 100% I don't trade. But when I trade I'm harsh with the market but always respecting my fellow trader.
Loosing is not bad, it's part of this game.

Take care.

Arrivederci, ok ?

Ciao
Umberto

I'll be back before NY open possibly. good luck with your trading !

FEB,

I always said that the most revolutionary tool for me in trading was your first post on this thread. It literally changed my life after years of being near, but not there.

This last post of yours is the other side of the same coin. Nothing starts without and end. There is nothing implicitly bad on it. Actually, there is beauty on it. But we, as human beings, tend to be happy when things start and sad when things come to an end.

I am sad that I will not see you again posting here and would like to say personally goodbye to you through the same channel we used to talk several months ago. But if that is not possible, you must know that you are, above all, a good person.

I don't know how to say thanks enough. But I can tell you, from the deepest part of my heart,

GRACIAS, AMIGO.
