Well I got a year on you Venice, started at the 08 crash, but even so it's taken me this long to start having half a clue as to what's going on and I've been doing 10 hours a day+ solidly for the past 18 months...

I find that there are a group of consistent traders on here that are well worth listening to...
Right on. I have spent most of my time learning in after hours, as I work a full time day job (took the day off today).

Work all day, study all night. Sleep, rinse repeat.

The dreams of being a trader full time have got me really motivated as of late. I must say my performance at work is suffering as well... Can't get those bloody candlesticks out of my head...!

the first step could be not reading this forum for a while, that's until you start trusting your analysis. remember our charts and analysis are the only things we have, so we better TRUST them. there's no easy answer to this except if there is any consolation, we all went through it. just have to wait it out i guess.

edit: you have to figure out what it is. from what you are saying it's fear that drives your decisions. if that's the case, then lower your trade size and once comfortable start increasing it back again little by little.
thanks attila - i think staying off this forum for a while to figure out my own thing first could perhaps do the trick indeed.

When are retailers ever going to learn that their little mini lots are not going to sway, tame or reverse a trend?

Let me answer that one myself, never.

One of the hardest lessons it seems to learn, trade with the current direction of the trend on your given time frame.

Look for consolidation periods for true reversal points.

It's not often price bounces right off a level and heads straight back the other direction.

Even this upity up pull had an hour+ or so of consolidation.

Best to get that one learned quick smart!! The other key lesson is to learn to be comfortable taking small losses, I shorted at 97, then got stopped, switched to long and now am in OK (not great but OK) profit for the day, if I'd averaged or moved my stop then I'd be pretty screwed by now...

Trying to go with the trend here Cloggie. I waited until it broke 3550, placed a buy at 3553, set my TP for +12, said OK and my TP was hit. I thought NY might take a stab at making a new high and looks like that is exactly what it wanted to do too! Done for the day +41

Why are you all ignoring some of the signals that older traders cut their teeth on for years.
