Got it

My background is kind of backwards, as I started as a trader, then went the modelling route. I was not good enough to get a math degree when I was young and did not see the value in it until I entered the business. Doing it this way, I probably lost 15 years. When I was young math was for geeks, now I have come to realise that the mathematicians are the ones ruling the world and are having the last laugh.

Somebody trying to get your system cloggie? Or am I reading it wrong?lol
...but no, I am just pleased to see similar interest. Besides, there are multiple/different paths to the same end. The end really gets interesting once they meet in the same market place, if you know what I mean.

I am kind of glad that it has gone the way it has for me, because I look at the markets differently now then I would have had I started in math.

Anyways, back to price here.

We are still at the same trigger levels with no confirmed move, time for a cuppa.

Wonder how many here have revenge traded this range in anticipation?

So you are saying that I am forwards ...got all the degrees I could think of, no kids, ...Well, I guess previous trading experience helps in a way, perhaps limiting in other ways...I only opened my first brokerage account less than a year ago!

Guys like you will do fine in this business. Previous trading experience actually gets in the way sometimes, purely because I know what is happening next, I just can't model it because the math disagrees.

Ah well, time for that cuppa now. We have a direction to build down here.

I will admit to doing this and I've not fared well. I have to really try not to do this. I'm getting emotional about this when I know I don't need to be.
A pip is only worth it if you know how much you risked to earn it

Looks like this could be setup for retrace to 1.3296 or 1.3310
If 1.3246 gives away upside, then should be a little bit worried.

But intermediary test is 1.3264.

1.33 looks pretty obvious if final 1.3284/6 is being cracked.
They think they are smarter than I am.

The majority here are doing exactly the same thing, you are not alone in this. You are however addressing it and that is the first step in the right direction. Of the 400 people watching this thread right now, at least 200 took the same trades.

For those who like to trade the ab=cd patterns...here is a tip..Most abcd traders do not use the FE's. Each FE is a potential tp area or a scale out area depending on the current PA when price reaches that level. Very often, once price reaches the FE 50 or FE 61.8, price will go back to test "C" for another shot at reaching "D"/ But if price closes above "C" on the TF you are trading in, then the ab=CD is voided and price will likely test "A".

And once you have been in the business for several years..Hunches REALLY do count. How can you program a hunch?
With all due respect mrs pip, there is no hunches in forex. All that matters is a reaction.
If u trade hunches u r gambling 50-50. We dont wanna 50 50 right?

What I mean by hunches is that once a person has been in the business for years, you get the feel of the mkt and the little patterns it forms. You see the PA, patterns, ranges, etc over and over so many times that you actually see them in your sleep. lol
