I suppose I should take lessons on setting better TPs then, they're generally just too high or only half as high as they should've been set. This zero-sum game is driving me nuts, I hate working for my broker.
Especially when them pricks won't even send you a Christmas card...

There are a few things that I could suggest...

1. Larger positions, taking profit on partials, letting the rest ride.
2. Longer time frame trading, requires larger stops but can keep you from being a slave to the charts.
3. Shorter time frame trading, hit and run baby! Take what ya can until the next best thing comes along.
4. Visit Red's thread, learn a little more about Supply and Demand levels.
5. Stop in and see the guys in the VSA thread to understand where to look for entries and exits based on volumes...

At the end of the day, 1 green pip separates a winning day from a losing day, and really, ya can never go broke taking profits of any size...

Demos offer no emotional tie. You have to at least risk something, even if it's a cent a pip.
true, but if you're not making money in demo, then there's no point going live.

You are not a part of an exclusive club, most that leave the market do so with a zero account balance, not by choice.

Trading isn't for everyone.

Best of luck in your future endeavors.

Its a big account, i dont have to proof anything. Normally I play it like that. I made 20% movements, then if i increase my account 3times then ill go with 50% of the winnings with the trend. This is not the only money that I have for forex as you know.

But im expert on margin calls, at least i wont have one today.


STILL PLAYING THAT, AND LEAVING TO THE BANK.

TP AT 1.4260-14275

We just cleared 1m Resistance but haven't tested daily roll for resistance...

Tuff cutting skywards, so I will be quick on the trigger for my longs until we clear the day...

1....
Well, I trade on the shorter TFs because I want to feel like I'm actually working. I figure more effort = more $ as opposed to making a trade and sitting on my ass watching it when I could be making entries at dips/spikes. Funnily enough, I make the biggest profits when I through in only a single lot a opposed to the usual 5-6 and leave it running overnight. It's just that I can't sleep when I do that and I get neurotic from sleep-deprivation.

I've been following red's thread for a while, but they trade so many different pairs that it's hard to follow and recently the trades there have been pretty.... bad. I also don't have a tin foil hat to wear for malcomb's thread, either.

i've learnt to wait for confirmations after dojis. its not like a doji reverses all the time. not anymore in this market.

but no worries, another signal will come lol. i can wait

There will be times when you close the trade at the right time and times when you won't. I don't punish myself anymore for closing too early. As long as there is money in the bank, it's all good.
Nothing worth having is easy.
