NFP: made 42 pips long then lost 9 pips short.. today's result: breakeven.. btw trading my first live account five days now. First day: 12% loss; next four days breakeven.
that's quite good. Hope you risk manage m8. My first year was a painful learning curve...

Very good post, its not just in this thread though.
If you go to trading systems and journals threads, you will see many gurus posting win after win. That is kind of a deception, on newbies. Who may spend months trying that system to get the same success and fail.
....especially on forums where editing previous posts leaves not 'traces', so implicitely encouraging some possible faking behaviours.

the easy trade was the long off 3060 yesteday ,,,,,

http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...stcount=337955

reality is fx trading IS NOT EASY .... so stop boasting on hoiw great we are everyone. POst your losses as well and those are the ones that get respect and can be learned from . Many have had massive losses last 3 days with bear mind set still in play... be respectful of that and drop the egos...

why is it that this forum has so many billionaires that never have a loss ?
I fully understand what you're saying. That's why I'm not a fan of paper trading; the pressure you feel in a losing trade/the greed you feel in a winning trade just can't be simulated in paper trading. That's a big part of what makes FOREX trading hard.

I learned long ago that large egos are very expensive. My trades today were dumb luck, nothing more. I was completely wrong twice but caught a total of 22 pips.

I've got a lot of losses since trading FOREX again a few weeks ago. However, I'm still ahead quite a bit because I try to cut losses early and let winners run.
I find the most difficult area being the 'gray zone' where it looks like a loss will turn into a winner and a winner will turn into a loser. That's a very hard judgment call for me.

The psychology and money management that you practice are at least as important as your analytical skills.

I'm likely done trading for today. I'll take my 22 pips for today and spend the rest of the day analyzing what I could have done better and prepping for next week.

That's about an explanation to short it.
Cause i know it works here...if it fails you disappear...if its good you brag about how good you are.
Really sad thread.

I will start doing the same...posting bs posts
sorry mate but , it wasn't my post earlier who posted the short trade , but it was me who replied on you .
go back few posts and check it .
you can be right about the owner of the first post.

any how

you know that I never dissapear.

to me its good area to short because its very close to the trend line already 20-30 pips away .

i guess it cant get simpler than that buddy

and for my side I am short now @ 3361 and if it loses I will post it and say it was in negative .
I SEE YOU !!

this up move wasnt very convincing it would not surprise me for it to drop past were we started.
seems a lot of selling into the upmove to me.
Maybe am wired up wrong lol.
There seemed a lot of hesitance before this push up.
keep marking triggers see if they break.
making green pips large and red pips small this is my goal.

Still interested in 3376 area; looking for good bear PA there. All still seems to be a replay of Nov/Dec 2009 i.e. bear action. A good sell-set up for the rally is still my bias.

I can easily see EUR/USD going towards 1.3440. This may, or may not happen today. However for US stocks today will be a big mystery. I can't see a solid correlation today. Too many factors - bad news = more QE = lower dollar higher stocks. But bad news also = risk aversion. We shall see. Gold is the winner as usual. Technically speaking, the road to 1.3440 is open, but it isn't the only possibility. One thing you can bet with good certainty is that it will be far from a green session for US stocks, so if you are feeling aggressive you can go short there.

Hi respectable traders,

There are some posts that questioning where and how do I know volumes, orders and etc. Those professional traders are able to understand where I'm coming from as they will also able to know these figures. Sorry, I am not able to disclose where and how do I know.
I will continue to share for the benefit of traders here. So do keep a look out for my posts...
Cheers!

22 pips...good. I got 40 pips today...Im really good. Never ever feel that u may have done it better then u have. Because the key to success in Forex business is to CUT ur losses to the minimum.
