How are things?

Can't belive I missed this one thought about doing something similar.

Good luck.
Hey Siam,

Good to hear from you.

Things are good, it's a struggle between work, other projects & trading. I'm still feeling a lack of commitment on my part which I'm working to remedy. Psyc issues prevail but are improving.

How's your trading? Still lots of S&R/NBT?

How's Thailand this time of year?

Week ended a little better than breakeven, + 1/4%

No time to trade this week, dealing with long work days and entertaining guests from abroad.

I'm not sure what to expect next week with US Holidays...as posted in Rufus' thread, I'm looking to step up my commitment to trading the London open, which I've continued to miss for the bulk of my trading career.

Have a good weekend

Another small week, up +1/2%

I saw three solid nights of London action and it was certainly an experience. From the craziness of Frankfurt to the first hour of decision (London Open) to sticking with the existing trend or making a new one...fun stuff. S&R with pullbacks/trend continuations seem much more reliable. I know I left a lot of money on the table...

Looking forward to pulling off a decent November this coming Sunday, Monday & Tuesday!

I will be virtually right along side of you next week as well, with London...I don't know where sleep will fit in yet. Now I am behind on my schedule with work as well. The bad weather we had and knocking out our power has messed things up for a bit.

Oh well..I will collect pips then sleep.

Sounds good Rufus, looking forward to it.

Love the words of wisdom you just posted in your thread...I'm headed back over to re-read and digest once more.

Ended the week -1%

Awful volatility (read lack there of) & poor placement of stops on a couple of trades in addition to a couple of B setups that should had been passed and simply not seeing other trades, re: EU last night Rufus!?? Does it get any easier than that??

Money management all in check, no tilt trading even after the first four trades were losers. This is most crucial to me.

Cheers

The middle of the week was tough for me. Made some stupid mistakes and got caught in chop. It was nice to end my week on a positive note. Next week we start fresh with major pipage. It was great having you on skype last night as well.

Yeah, the chop was rough. I haven't seen equity markets so still for so many days in a row before...

Skype was fun. Catch you Sunday evening.

God awful week, just one loser after another. A couple of stopouts were nasty, price ran a few points past my stop only to reverse to my TP.

I'm disappointed as I know December will be a poor month, especially with dwindling volume & direction for the next couple of weeks w/holidays, etc.

Ended the week -2.2%

There was a nice runner on EURUSD today but I think you might want to consider stopping trading for december. The lack of volatility creates weird markets and that might hinder your confidence and change your attitude towards trading. December is an awful month, stop trading or cut back your volume by at least 90% and resume normal trading at the start of January's second week.

I will share my can of whoop ass with you....Then be up 10% for the week.

Then we will use the industrial size for the following week.

I've been shy on posting charts lately.

I'm keeping an eye on USD/CAD for a long at the below level...we'll see what LO brings.

This had a draw down of about 20pts with price coming down to just about the 50% fib before bouncing and providing +45pts from entry at 1.013 thus far.

I was fast asleep for LO last night.

*Furthermore, Lovejoy has validated my setup with THIS post. Feels good that I'm seeing some of the same setups as the big players out there. This admittedly made my day.

Nice and easy points this morning, quick reaction for my touch UCHF short, putting me at about +1% for the week now.
