And I'm out. An easy 28 pips with a total 2.4 pip drawdown.

I'm really done for the day now. May the pips be with you!

I've gotta say I'm pleased with today. That said, again this is not bragging. This is just to show people again that the way that TLC trades is really all you need to make a buck... or 72 thousand of them in this market. I used to have my charts so cluttered with indicators that I could barely make out price action which is all I should have been looking at anyways. It was TLC's thread that got me back to trading price action only. I am like a militant vegan when it comes to indicators. Indicators are murder!

Read all of TLC's posts. Then read them again. Might seem like a BS answer but if you can start to see these patterns on your chart, then you've found a way to benefit from the price action. Welcome to the thread.

Wow. Upon looking at that printout of your trading, it was all done in less than an hour.

Are you manual? Because that is some serious processing. Do you teach/mentor? Have a book, dvd? I am pretty good and put up some great numbers. But I only see two or three trades a day at most. I would love to be able to make more trades. Love to.

I was a professional stock trader, one of the best in many peoples minds, and when I waddled into forex, I received quite a surprise. It might as well have been going from tennis to playing squash. Similar, but OOOOOH so different.

Its really good now, but looking at your printout, I realize that it could be a LOT BETTER.

Name your price, I would love to pay to learn. You basically, on the amount invested, took the amount ventured and made what? 500%? I made 8% on my overall account this week and felt proud. I only traded two days.

Wow....
It's all manual and in reality it was about 8 hours of trading. I don't know why the times are all over the place, but there are some 8AM trades in there if you look closely.

I've thought about teaching but honestly it's out for at least a couple of years. I've got too much going on in my life right now. I was serious when I answered the question above. There is no magic. A lot of the trades today were simple support and resistance trades. A few of the larger ones were pattern trades. I can't teach that because it's all been taught before. The information is freely available. Get Thomas Bulkowski's "The Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns" if you don't already have it. It'll improve your accuracy. But to be completely honest, I believe that if you manage risk correctly, you can flip a coin and make money, but if you do both.... well the recipe for great rewards lies somewhere within that.

Man, you have just brought me back from the brink...I am an indicator addict.
No matter what I do to limit the addiction, my charts have a sinister compulsion to invade the trade...and that sabotages my bottom line, which is now a dotted squiggle.
Im now going to pay more (proactive) attention to TLC's thread, charts and traders.
Ive been watching and paying attention, but my addiction...LOL

thanks for sharing that info profxtrader

Awsome

Sentiment plays no role in my trading. I'm a member of currensee.com a facebook of sorts for forex traders. They have an app to post directly to twitter. It automatically adds the sentiment crap in, but if you do look at it, I'm against the crowd. I'd be interested to see the number of times I'm against the general public as time goes on.

I had an EA that a FF member wrote that I actually prefer to use to post trades to twitter, but it's buggy and at least the currensee app works thus far.
