EURUSD

Quoting T.E.Lawrence
I've been trading live for about 1,5 year now, and this is the first time I had no losing trade in a month. I don't know why but it makes me anxious a little bit.

In the past I found that winning streaks are far more devastating than losing ones. Make me more confident and less cautious.

Or maybe that's just a 'fear of success'?

Same thing happens to me from time to time. I don't think it's a fear of success but more of a fear that you know you won't be able to sustain that level of performance. The longer the success streak goes, the more you feel your due for a loss and this sometimes causes you to make bad trading decisions. I try to clear my mind of past success or failures and just focus on what the markets are currently doing and your current trades.

Nice confluence around .225, fib and TL, .2245 doesn't look bad to me.

Yeah, I think that's a part of working on your trading skills. I really believe trading is like drawing - it's not science but art. Both require some knowledge but more important is time you spend on practicing that knowledge and improving your skills. And what's even more important is observation. You can't just repeat same mistakes over and over again, wishing they magically disappear in the future when you'll have become an experienced trader/artist. You have to observe what you're doing and make corrections after you have realized why you made that mistake and what's needed to prevent it in the future.

And along the way there comes psychology. Learning and using any skill is 20% work and 80% psychology. Trading, sports, art etc.

It's just not easy to become a skillful person.

Wrong? Never... I'm as clueless and wandering as they come. How can you be wrong under those circumstances?

At best... you just bounce of the Right guardrail now and then and maybe impress someone who might be watching at that exact moment...

"...while displaying Clueless Tendencies our ownselves at times... http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/s...m/drooling.gif"
is that sarcasm? your "Never" tells a lot about you. Not thought to argue with you and flooding thread and never will - is pointless,

hope you are intelligent too,

I trade for myself for few years and post here some of my not for impress anyone and even you, but improve my trades in reasonable discussion,

check by yourself this orange channel here 16h ago and there 4h ago, many people do same things,

so, deal with it please and do your job, with 10v+ you should show an educative adequate behavior,

not so tough - it's going down. Let's see if cable will push euro further down, or both pairs are coming towards each other (they're decorrelated on intraday basis - that's why I took hedged trades with both pairs)
