What process or formula do you follow? You mentioned you are a newbie, what makes you think which commodity to buy or short? Looking at the graph, you are doing quite well. In fact better than me when I was in your shoes.

I've studied Wyckoff, which talks about following the sponsors of each instrument. He talks about volume and price movement. VSA is very much the same philosophy develop by Tom Williams many decades after Wyckoff.

Thank you for your compliment, but I'm really not as good as I would like to be. I guess I still have much learning to do. But more and more I trade more I'm realizing how strongly limiting factor psychology is in trading.

Looking at the charts it seems that the stock market is at a turning point. May be time to short it. On many charts we see rotation of supply, buying climaxes, down bars on high volume, followed by up bars on light volume.

Hi Tadej

It's good you're posting up your trades. Do you get time to review them/replay them so you know where you could have entered or exited better, or which trades you would not have entered? I found that using the MT4 strategy tester at the end of each day, I can replay the day over and over, each time getting better in my entries and exits. It increases your abilities. I wish someone had introduced that to me when I first started!

Also you say you have psychology issues...what are they? how do you know you have psychological issues?

Hi Tadej

Hi Lovinit,
Thank you for your advice, because I'm not familiar with MT4 strategy tester, but I certainly do review my trades at the end of the day. I guess I have the same mental obstacles on my path as every other trader, who doesn't have enough experiences. I don't let the winners run, have difficulties sitting tight without taking a trade,... I would just like that my emotions wouldn't interfere with my trading.
